The Age or Modern Man i,

People are fond Of saying that '.mankind
is growing wiser and weaker" But is this
really so1 Let US glance at the facts. Ac.
cording to the latest statistics there arc
more centenarians now living than at any
previous time in the history OF the world
Whyf Because of the great discoveries in
medical science which afford him imm unity
from diseases that formerly devastated man
kind. Greatest Of them all is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. the best blood
purifier and renovator of the age. Scrofula,
fever-sores. tumors. unsightly ulcers and
eruptions vanish like magic beneath its ben.

SUICIDE AT sUTRO.
Charles Brown BLOWS His Brains

A courier from Sutro reached here last
Thursday evening shortly after 8 o'clock
in search Of DR.. Hazlett. and with the infor-
nation that Charles Brown, an emPloye Al
the Sutro Tunnel had shot himself through
the head with 37.caliber Smith & Wesson
revolver. DR.. Hazlett Immediately went to
Sutro, but by the time he reached there
Brown was dead. The shooting was done
in saloon run by Jim Reel. Brown came
from work the same time as usual Thurdsay
afternoon, and after eating supper strolled
over to the saloon as it was his custoTa to do
almost every evening. He took few
drinks and stood for some minutes talking
with friends near the end Of the bar. His
companions soon left, and a few moments
thereafter the men remaining in the saloon
were startled by the report Of q pistol and
saw Brown sink to the floor. Ills friends
ran TO him but found that he was uncon.
scious and unable TO speak although he was
still breathing. Examination showed the
bullet to have entered the head just above
and behind the right ear and to have come
out below the left ear, and the ball was
founa lying on the bar. The wounded man
was taken to his room and everything pos
sible done for him. 1t was fifteen minutes
past eight when Brown fired The fatal shot,
and although he lived until five minute,
past nine he never regained consciousness
or spoke word. Brown had been sick for
some weeks, and it is supposed that he com
mitted the act in fit Of dependency. He
was subject to these spells, and twice tefore
had he attempted suicide, once by hanging
and once by drowning. Brown was native
Of Pennsylvania, aged So years. During
the late war he was a sailor in the U. S.
Navy, and was seriously wounded. After
he recovered he again followed the sea for
living for some years and landed in Cali.
fornia some II or ~ years ago. From there
he drifted to the Cemstock and for q time
worked in the Gold Hill mines. He was
one Of the first men employed in the Suto
Tunnel and has been q resident of Sutro
ever since. Charlie was a man who had a
heart as big as an OK. He was liberal to a
fault, and none knew him but to like him.

WALTER KELLY IN LIMBO.
He Tries t. Commit Rape On His
Drosher's Wife, bat In FoileA and
ArR00t0h.

The San Francisco Chronicle Of a week
ago contained an account Of an escspade oil
man named Walter Kelley in that city.
The said Kelly, it stated, hailed from vir.
ginia City, Nevada, but from the account
we judge that it is the same Kelly who in.
tasted our little town several months ago,
and who left here between two days with a
new suit Of clothes belonging to Russo!
Schooley, and also left several unsettled
accounts. 1t seems that Kelley has mar.
ried brother in San Francisco who is an en-
fore Is away from hsme a considerable por.
tion of the time, his wife and three months
old child remaining alone on shore during
the periods Of his absence. Walter Kelly,
the account states, became infatuated with
his brother's wife and several times made
base proposals to her. which were spiritedly
rejected by the lady. One evening last
week. while Mrs. Kelly's husband was alb
sent from the city, the Kelly from Nevada
proceeded 10 her residence and demanded
admission. 1t being quite late the lady and
her babe had retired, and when she found
who was at the door she would not let him
IN. This angered the festive Walter, and
he therefore battered down the door and
made his way to the bedroom. He seized
his sister in.law. who was ROBBED only in a
nightdress, and tried 10 force her to submit,
to him. The woman fought desperately,
and although all her clothes were torn from
her in the struggle. she managed to escape.
and ran to the house Of neighbor, where
she related her story and was allowed to re.
main the balance Of the night. Early the
next morning the police we're awakened and
notified Of what had happened. They went
to Mrs. Kelly's house with her, and there
found Kelly asleep in bed with the infant.
He appeared greatly surprised when told
that he was under arrest, and claimed not
to know 4 thing about what occurred the
night before. a he was drunk. Not having
the wherewith to get himself out Of the fix
he was sent to the peniten,iary to reflect for
few months.
