stored to life, the Star saith.

The death Of W. J. Long Is another
illustration of the unwisdom of removal
to the ~much-vaunted Golden West"
Mr.. Long was one of the best known
citizens of Randolph county, allied with

the table at a tea party. Secretary of
State, NJ. S. Quay, the trickster of 20
years scheming and puppet-pulling, at
