In Memoriam.-Geo. M. Shearer.

| George NJ Shearer. whose death OH
Jan. 2. We briefly announced last week.
was born at Winchester, Va, on Janu-
AIRY 3, lS4l. He received his education
at Tuscorara Academy, Penn, and went
to California in 1854, and resided in Yu-
ba county until 1859. when he crossed
the plains and returned to his old home
At the breaking out of the war
of the rebel ion he espoused the
southern cause and enlisted in Gen'l
Bradley Johnston's line regiment of
Mary land volunteers, and saw hard and
active service as a lieutenant in the
Confederate army until his capture and
confinement at Fort Delaware. The de-
tails of his marvellous escape were pnb.
lished in the FREE PREss of October Is,
1889. and are therefore fresh to the rec
ollection of our readers. He was sever
al times wounded in the war. After his
escape from the Federal prison he came
directly to Idaho in the fall of 1865 and
has made Idaho county his home ever
since. having settled and located the
place at the mouth of Elk creek on Sal
mon river, known as Shearer's ferry.
lie was an active volunteer IN the Neg
Perce war of 1877, and carried two bull
lets in his body as souvenirs of the
memorable fight against the Indians on
July 5. He had served several terms in
the Idaho legislature and was appointed
clerk of the district court in aud for
Idaho county in 1888, which position he
held down to the day of his death. lie
won his commission as Nj ,jor for gallant
services in the Nez Perce war, and in
those days he was brave to the verge oil
recklessness and fear was unknown to
him. For the last few years he had
been sufferer from acute rheumatism,
and finally from aHeurism of the heart.
In October last he revisited his old
home for the purpose of getting medical
relief for his ailments, but they were
unable to cure him and he returned
hcme with the knowledge that his days
were numbered
On December 20. 1888, he was married
to Miss Carrie Volimer. sister of ]. p
Nollmer, of Lewiston. Three children
We're the fruits of the marriage, two
boys and girl, the youngest child be
ing born January 90, 1889 He was
man of great physical strength an,
force of character, shrewd i'm busines,
and enterprising. Thus one by on,
death lays his pallid hand upon the pi
oneers and removes to that other shor,
across the dark river which We all mus
cross when our life is done. To th,
stricken family the community extend
its HEARTBEAT sympathy.

OUR MILILIA COMPANY.
Co. c., Ist Regiment, Idaho Guards, Muster
ed Into Service.

On Thursday last, January 2, Cap. J.
II. Boomer. of Boise City, having been
detailed by Gov. Shoup for that pur-
pose, mustered into service "Co. c."
lst regiment. Idaho guards, at this place.
The company consists of forty.seven
members and organized by electing T..
Beck captain, G. NJ. Day lst lieutenant,
and S. L Bihby 2nd lieutenant. Cap.
tain Beck appointed the following as
non-commissioned officers: VIM. Stein
heiser, LIST sergeant; r. F. Fulton. w.
Clark, NJ. Welch, A. +. Parker. SER
geants; F. M. Reed, N. Ingram, w.
Scott and II. Jackson, corporals.
The first meeting of the company was
held on Tuesday evening, when the Or
ganization was completed by the adop-
ton of bylaws and the election of civil
officers, as follows: President. r. F.
Fulton; vice. president, T. ]. Aram;
recording secretary. T. NJ. Pearson; f.
nancial secretary, s. G. Benedict; treas
urer. A. f. Parker.
Meetings for drill will be held on each
Tuesday evening at half past six o'clock
for the present. The captain, Mr.. Beck
has had years of experience in the U.
s. regular army and his superior in
drilling and handling company is not
to be found in the northwest. and we
venture the prediction that in six
months time Co. C. will be the finest
appearing body of men in the territory.
The company starts ont under the most
auspicious circumstances. Steps will be
taken at once toward the accumulation
of fund to be used in the erection Of
an armory.

Old S9 slipped off the trail last Tues

pushed him off, cannot be sure which
is true; but | know that the old man was
travel-worn and feeble and it may he
that when he saw the New Year coming
in his breezy way. he might haye
become excited and lost his footing.
However he is gone! l wonder If we
cared as much for him as we should,
while he was with us. He would have
been everybody's friend, if he might.
He would have helped us in all good
undertakings; but we were not ready for
his aid, The next year will do as well"
we said as We have said so often before.
Shall we say it again OF dear young 100?
Or will we take advantage of the days
and weeks and months which he brings
for our use-aye, and the hours and the
minutes and the seconds. to improve
ourselves in heart and head, to the end
that we may have a good character given
us when we slip off the trail.
