Henry q. Casey. One Of Eureka.
Pioneers. Passes Away.

Henry G. Casey, one Of Eureka's
pioneer colored citizens, died sud.
denly at his residence on Mob Hill on
the morning Of the 9th inst. Of heart
disease. He had been complaining
OF feeling unwell for some time pre-.
Gus to his taking off, but his most in
innate associates did not suspect that
death was so near at hand, and when
1t was announced on the morning in
question hal he was dead, not a little
surprise was expressed.
MIR. Casey was a soldier in the war
OF the rebellion under General Burn
sides, where he served for three years.
After the close Of the war he came
West, settling for a time at Omaha;
subsequently he was employed as a
porter on the Pullman sleeping cars
which ran on the U. Z. and @. p.
between Omaha and San Francisco.
lie then removed to Salt Lake, where
he carried on The barbering business.
lie came to Eureka from the latter
place in 1872, and had resided here
continuously since to the time of
his death. He was a native OF Balti-
more, Maryland, aged 40 years, 10
months and 10 days.

We find the following in the Sal
Lake Tribune Of q recent date;
In the latter part Of August, o. II
Fsrlinger, . prominent citizen Of Eureks
Nevada, arrived in Salt Lake City, blins
in both eyes For months his sight has
been gradually leaving him, and ID b
truly pathetic to hear him describe how
little by little, sight faded away until o.
last be was in total darkness, and ht
had to be led to and from meals and
there fed. He was told that BY q deli
cate surgical operation he could-if the
operation proved successful-have his
sight restored to him. IL then became
. question Of m~omentous import to him
TO whom he could trust sufficiently to
allow him to operate. After numerous
inquiries east and west from New York
to San Francisco, he decided to place
himself in the hands Of Salt Lakes
young occulist, DIR. A. w. Burrows, OF
Freeman & Burrows, who after an ex.
animation, decided to operate on the
left eye first. Accordingly the Doctor
assisted by his partner, DR.: Freeman,
and his sister. Miss Nellie Burrows, at
3 o'clock P. NJ. on Monday, Sept. 2,
performed the operation on the left eye.
The method decided upon was won
Grsefe's Linear" and by $3.50 o'clock the
eye had been cut open, an iridectomy
performed, the lens extracted, all
blood clots and capsular shreds cleared
from the interior Of the eye, and 1t
neatly bandaged, when he was informed
that the operation thus far was a success.
As to the subsequent progress OF the
case il is gratifying to hear Mr.. Fsrlin-
ger-his face radient-describe his visit
to the Fair and his appreciation OF the
live stock there exhibited, also his strolls
our city, and how he is impressed
with the beauty Of our new business
in progress OF erection. He is
enjoying the great blessing
Of sight to the uttermost. The primary
operation was so thorough that . second.
airy one was not necessary, a character
istic OF the Doctors surgical work.
After Q short visit home, Mr.. Fsrlinger
will return and have the eye-now to-
tally blind-operated IN. Let US hope
that the Doctor will be as successful
with the second as with the first. As II
Is an honor to Salt Lake that her sur
geons should be selected before those Of
any other city in the Union, and that
The result should prove that the conf
ience thus reposed is not misplaced.

lutely correct.

A cowardly crime was committed at
Leadville Monday morning by Jerry
Coffey, who deliberately murdered his
wife. In her dying statement she
said he grabbed her by the throat
when she entered the room where he
was and with the remark that he had
been intending to kill her for a long
time shot her twice. He charges her
with adultery and says she neglected
the children. He said to a reporter
after his arrest: al married my wife
in 1876, at Eureka, New, and she has
borne me six children, four are dead
and two are living. Her maiden
name was Mary Gallagher; she was
born in Boston and fought up in Vir-
ginia City and Pioche, New. We

Bandit Frank James.

A thin visaged man, with clear gray eyes that peer steadily from beneath the broad brim of white felt hat, a slender form clad i'll quiet suit of black, with q Prince Albert coat buttoned tightly across his breast, man who rarely speaks, but signals to the pool auctioneer, or throws his money down to the bookmaker with a monosyllabic direction as to its disposition, was Q regular attendant upon the quarter stretch at the race track during the late races, yet he was recognized by only a very few as the one time redoubtable bandit and train robber, Frank James, the last of a gang which held the banks and express companies of the entire West in state of terrorism for twenty years. Frank James always had weak ness for horsefesh. In the very heydey of his desperate crimes he would risk his life to come out of the bush and at tend horse race. When he was" in hiding near Nashville, Tenn, after the Gallatin robbery, he owed several race horses which he sent to the St. Louis races at Cote Brilliante track, under an assumed name, of course. He is now a clerk in a Dallas (Texas) shoe store, but as 8 matter of fact he does little else but follow the races. His judgment is good, and he came from Memphis, Nashville, Louisville and Latonia considerably ahead of the horses.-[S Louis Stal Sayings.
