| ceived on Friday the sad news OF the
death of his brother, Dr. VIM. H. Alex
ander, aged "a years, who died on the
18th of February, at San Juan, Argen-
tine Republic, South America, OF VIC
lent attack OF pneumonia. The San
Juan paper, in an obituary notice, speaks
very highly of deceased, portion Of
which we quote, to wit: "a grave has
just opened to receive the inanimate re-
mains of an honored Yankee citizen and q
virtuous father, who preserved during
his life character kind and generous,
and whose benevolent actions had gained
for him the love and respect of all. All
within the knowledge of the physicians
was done, but could not save from death
the doctor, whose wife and children weep
inconsolably. Last Saturday he was full
of life, talking with enthusiasm Of his
voyage to the United States, his native
land, (which he expected to realize in
March or April of the present year, &C
companied by his family. Sunday as he
woke from long siesta he pronounced
himself ill with pneumonia, from which
moment the disease increased rapidly,
until it had finished its destructive work.
A son of Virginia, he had passed the
greater part OF his life in San Juan, Ar.
gentine Republic, arriving here when
about 30 years of age. He soon married
Miss Rajo, distinguished lady, mother
of five daughters, of which the greater
number are still children. Some time
since he had determined to take his fam.
lily to his native land, but as the time for
the journey drew near Providence ordered
that he make the journey to the mysteri-
Gus Land of Spirits. Thus is life. Man
proposes but God disposes. A great
number of people gathered to-day at 5
o'clock to follow the remains to their
last resting place. The doctor professed
the Protestant faith, and during the last
moments of his agony he was heard to
repeat in his native language the Lords
Prayer. San Juan loses good father,
kind husband, one of the pioneers of pro-
gress and an excellent physician. +" si
THE Bullionville people had quite an
Indian scare the past week. The Indians
from all sections gathered in that vicinity,
armed to the teeth; but OH learning the
facts of the killing Of a member Of their
tribe couple of weeks ago, the chief
managed to cool down his warriors. The
Phoebe Indians were there is full force,
handsomely decorated with war paint
and eager for the fray. They were all
armed with Winchesters. The only
happy persons in Bullionville were the
bald-heads, for they knew that though
the reds might kill them, they would
never be able to rob them of their hair.
Panaca and Phoebe doubled up on the
Bullionvillians, and instead of answering
their appeal for arms and ammunition,
we supplied them to the Indians. The
fact is, the people of Bullionville have
become so awfully wicked that, looking
into the matter with Christian view,
the Piochers and Panacans believe it is
about time for Bullionville and her PEG.
