blood poisoning, caused by the cancer. Col.
Comins was years ago man of considerable
consequence in Nevada, where he hcld'diiTer-
ent official positions OF importance. lie got
financially interested in several mining claims
In that State and 1t was in consequence of
his mining speculatlons that he first came to
Vermont, some two years and n half ago.
Several years ago he sold to Rpllin j. Jones
OF Cornwall and John Muuson of Utah
silver mlnc on the understanding as he sad,
that they were to sell IL ont in shares and
give him half what they raised for it. They
did get up a company and dispose of the
shares and Col. Comins claimed that he
never received his half of the proceeds.
Meanwhile those who purchased shares in
inc mine brought suit against Jones alleging
that the mine was worthless and Mr.. Jones
has been involved in expensive litigation
over the matter ever since. COmins's suit
against Jones and Munson was settled in
December, but Comins got nothing out OF it.
Shortly after first coming here Mr.. Comins
presented Middlebury college with the deed
OF silver mining claim in Nevada as a gift,
but the claim is in all probability a worthless
one, although there is a possibility that it
will yet prove valuable. Mr. Comins died
at last without dollar, and will be buried at
the expense of the town.
