JUDGE FRAZER,
in g;anting The motion said: Gentlemen
Of the Bar 1t is a sad privilege to be
permitted to unite with you in this trib-
ute to the memory ofour deceased friend
and brother.
1t was not my fortune to know Col.
Todd in his early life. My first ac-
quantance with him, was during the try
ing days of 1876, when the State was re-
deemeu from the misru!e of many years.
From that time, have known him in
private and social life. as prominent at
This bar, and rs n prominent alder in the
Cu,.hciis of The State. Allow me to add
TO what has already been said, that l re-
gafdcd him ~ a man who was peculiarly
independent in reaching his conclusions
and always fearless in maintaining ,hcm,
prefering to fail by his conviction ofrignt
and duty, rather than to surrender them
for motives of personal advantage. 1t is
the possession of such mcn that ,onSti-
tutes the true wealth of n people. Be
loved by his family, he was ever tho
+ and faithful advocate of tho rights
of those who entrusted their interests to
HIM "a n lawyer, and always ready 90

called for at his hands.
His death is II loss to his family, to

Ii sad event reminds us that t lc time
may not be far distant, when If we are
worthy of il, the same services may be
rendered to us by those who survive.

water Flows Prom a Well.

About ten days ago, Mr.. James Majors
had n well dug at his saw-miil, five miles
from this place. When he had reached
q depth OF l6 feet, II began to sound hol-
low and In a few moments the picks
broke through and II seemed that the
"bottom had fallen out" Water began
10 rise and In n short while the wei,
was full t., overflow. Since then, water
has continued to flow from the well, with
no apparent decrease.
This strange phenomenon, coming so
soon after the great Underground dis
turbance, caused no little apprehension
on the part of many In the neighborhood.
A report was circulated hat the water,
heated to boiling point was thrown
twelve feet from the top of the well, but
this report was entirely without founda-
ton. The water is said 60 be unusually
good. The well IL situated on q hill some
distan,e from the branch. Scientists
say, although this Is an unusual occur
renee, Ii has no connection with the
earthquake. similar instances arc on
record and the probabilities are that In
a short time the flow will IA We at

A Terrible Accusation

The principle campaign issue raised
against our nominee for the State
Senate, Mr.. Noteware, is that he is a
partner of Mr.. Cagwin, nominated for
School Trustee.
If this terrible accusation be true. It
certainly looks as if Mr.. Noteware
ought to be lynched by an Infatuated
populacc. Any man who will run
for office when his partner is also run
ming for School Trustee, and the two
keeping a stationery store, certainly
ought to be hung.
Such hellish piece of work was
never before heard of in Nevada.
