DEATH's HAND.
A Useful Citizen Passed Away.

AWHy
The hand Of death has been placed
on one Of Ruby Hills best citizens, by
which David II. Roberts has been
called to his last long home. Dave"
as his friends familiarity called him,
was a man who had earned great
credit for himself, and was one OF a
kind that in his humble sphere is Of
the greatest benefit TO a mining camp,
but whose usefulness is but seldom
recognized. He came here from Le-
high, Penn, early in the seventies and
has since then followed the occupation
Of a miner on RUDY Hill and in other
parts OF the camp. He was an ener-
getic and very industrious man and
the owner Of two or three mines, with
very good prospects. They are stu
ated on Prospect Mountain. and to
develop them he worked assiduously,
putting in his labor from early morn
until late at night, month in and
month out, until he was compelled to
work for wages to replenish his store
Of provisions and working materials.
He vas finally taken down with what
is known as miners consumption,
from which he suffered for about six
teen months. He was always SAN
guine OF success in his mines and in
~cessantly reiterated his hope that sill
e would go to par once more. Poor
Daveyl he has driven his last drift
and has gone to where there is no dis
count or silver, but where we hope he
will receive a well-earned reward for
his labor on earth. He leaves a wife,
three children and a brother. with
whom we sincerely condole. He was
a native Of Carnarvonshire, Wales, q.
B., and aged 80 years.

Nipped I'm the Bud,

Is it not better to nip consumption,
the greatest scourge Of humanity, in
the bud than TO try to stay it progress
on the brink Of the grave. A few
doses OF California's most useful pro-
duction, SANTA ABLE, the king Of con-
sumption, will revive, and a thorough

SUICIDE AT TAYLOR.
Louis Haab Blows His Head on
with Giant Powder.

Last Saturday morning, SAYS the
White Pine News, word reached here
that Louis Haab, a Monitor miner,
was found dead and horribly man
gled in the canyon back Of North
Taylor that morning. He was dead
two days when found, at least such is
the opinion Of those best informed on
the subject.
The last e OF him alive was We'd
nesday night previous, when he asked
a few friends to take a drink at PEARL
mans saloon. From there he went to
his cabin and TO bed. He was not at
that time under the influence Of
liquor to any great extent. He was
not e Thursday or Friday and OF
the evening Of the latter day his
friends instituted q search for him but
could find no trace Of him. Saturday
morning the search was renewed. II
then occurred to Dave bennett that
while standing in his cabin door about
8 o'clock Thursday morning he saw q
blast go off down the canyon, but
thought it vas a charge fred by some
men who had been working in that
locality. They went to the place and
we're Mortified to find the trunk Of a
man with the head and neck gone. A
glance around at once revealed the
missing members scattered about and
left no doubt OF the terrible means
employed by the unfortunate man to
end his life. 1t is believed that he
wound a stick Of giant powder around
his breast, laid down under a large
boulder, lit the fuse and calmly
awaited the shock that sent his soul
to eternity and left his body a man.
gled, unacceptable a Of human
flesh.
OF course he must have been crazy
or he would not have chosen such a
fearful death. He had for some time
previous been complaining Of a gather
ing in his head, from which he suf-
fered acutely at times.
Louis Haab was a pleasant, genial
man, loved and respected by all who
knew him. He was 43 years of age, a
native of Switzerland, but came to
Wisconsin at an early age, where his
step-parents still reside. He had no
relatives here, but kind friends gath
cred up his scattered remains, tenderly
placed them in a coffin and laid them
to rest in the Taylor cemetery.

THE morning hours are the best for
