The number Of exhibitors was not 40

take an interest; which, however, does
not seem to be the disposition so far.

| At half past FIVE o'clock last evening George
Myers Fall, the subject of this brief sketch,
| passed on to the next plane of existence.
Deceased was born in Lancaster, Ohio. on the
29th day of November, 194l. He joined hi,
father, John c. Fall (now of Unionville,
Humboldt County, Nexada,), at Marysville,
California in 1854. He was educated at
Benicia College went to Humboldt County
and engaged in mining early in the history OF
Nevada Leaving Nevada, he went to San
Jose, California, where he became interested
in the Coast Line Stage Company with Col.
VIM. Buckley, as the agent of which line he
settled in Los Angeles, where he was elected
and served one or more terms as alderman of
that city He returned to Humboldt County
in 1875, and in the Winter of 1889 was ap-
pointed guard at the State Prison, where he has
been constantly on duty until a week since,
when stricken by the terrible illness which
so soon caused his death. He was man of
superior education, noble instincts, unsetish
and honorable in dealing with his fellow
men, generous to fault, tender hearted and
loyal with virtues which far outshone his
faults that now when the latter are soon to be
covered over with the sod which sometime
must hide our own from view, the former
brighten into light in the memories of those
who knew him best. He will be mourned not
alone by his intinfates and associates, but by
many an acquaintance, scattered over the Pa
cifc Coast, to whom his generous hand was
ever ready to extend assistance and encour-
ment Peace to his ashes The valleys of
Nevada encompass few hearts more worthy of
kind remembrance.
