Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-09-21

with great, slow gasps, Col. Rockwell went
quietly to the windows and closed them.
Mr.. Brown walked to Mrs. Garfield, and
she leaned upon his arm as the President
breathed his last. Mrs. Garfield was calm,
save for %convulsive shudders that at times
oyermastered her. Mollie came up to her
a moment later, and her mother put her
arm around her IS the little girl sobbed
bitterly. Her weeping and the Presidents
gasplDg breath were the only sounds IN the
room. Then Gen. Swain came to Mollle,
fearing that her grief would be too much
for her mother, and led her AVA out OF
the room There was a period OF gasping,
and then the President ceased to breathe.
Mrs. Rockwell then placed her arm around
Mrs. Garfield and led her away. As Mrs.
Garfield left the room she turned md SAID
to Mr.. Brown, as she wrung his hand 81
shall depend upon you"
Talk of Lynehing Guiteau.
WASHINGTON, September 10. The talk
Of lynching Guiteau has been revived and
as the news from the President grows
worse, threats grow louder. In the crowds
around the bulletins it is not to
hear men say that If the news that the
President is dead comes, they are in for
takiog Guiteau out and hanging him at
once. This sentiment finds supporters,
but there does not seem to be any organ
lied preparations towards putting the
| threat into execution. The authorities re-
alize, too, that there may be danger, and
have quietly taken their measures. Mill
tary forces are kept ready tor immediate
service, and the militia of the district are
ready to respond to a call if they are re-
quired. 1t would be difficult for the mob
to reach the interior of the jail, even if
there was no resistance. 1t is a solid
building and well guarded. There is a be-
lief, however, that if the news of the Presi.
dents death comes here at night, while
most of the populace are on the streets, it
would not require much to rally a crowd
for en- attempt to attack the Jail to get
Guiteau.
