That Is Read-sketch Of the Career of
a Successful Man.

DR.. James Murphy is dead. The widely
known surgeon and eminent citizen. sur
rounded by loving friends, passed away at
his home ON Van Ness avenue at 6:45
o'clock yesterday morning, sinking to rest
as calmly as 20 nights repose.
Conscious to the last, he realized that his
time had come, and prepared for the end as
philosophically as though it were an event
of no more than ordinary Importance. Ais
wife and family and Drs. Galway, STAN
ton and Enright were with him, and after
bidding them an affectionate farewell he
died without struggle.
For eight weeks he had been patient suf-
ferer and at o'clock yesterday morning he
sent for DR.. Stanton and calmly asked him
if the end was near. The latter was over

that the patient had but few hours to

was dead.
OPERATED A LOCOMOTIVE.
DR.. James Murphy was born in County
Louth, Ireland, in the early part of 1887,
and came to America with his parents while
quite young. He learned the engineering
business in New York, and for years oper-
ated a locomotive on one of the principal
railroads in that State. In this branch he
was successful, for he early developed
taste for machinery and mechanical work,
and in great measure the eminence ne at.
tanned in later years in the profession of
surgery was due to the dexterity of a trained
hand and the precision obtained as a me-
chanic.
This he was often heard to assert. His
mechanical skill stood him in good stead,
and i'll way he little dreamed of when ac-
quiring it. Being of an enterpriSiug dis
position and possessed of the right kind Of
energy to assure him prominent place in
the Face Of life, young Murphy left home
and friends and set out for California. lie
arrived here toward the latter part of the
tfties and found employment in the Allison
Mine in the mountains. While at work
there he met with an accident, which,
though extremely painful and severe, in
fuenced his future life.
One day large quantity of rocks broke
loose and fell upon his left foot, crushing
the ankle and It's small bones into splinters.
In connection with this accident is men
toned fact which strickingly showed the
courage and character of the man. He saw
the wound, and as no surgeon was near at
hand attended to it himself With pocket
knife he cut away several pieces OF bone.
