DANIEL B. TOWNER.
Tribute to the Memory of the Recently
Deceased Truckeeite.
[Truckee Republican, January 28th.]
Nootb hoe obCSay ,oonr Of +ba fOra,,,oc

[Truckee Republican, January 2Sth.l
Death has chosen many of the foremost
citizens of Truckee during the past few
years, and it has been remarked that the
best and most useful members of our
community have been his recent victims.
The sudden death of Daniel b. Towner
last Monday evening forcibly recalls the
above thought, for 1ruckee never knew
a better, nObler character than he pos
sessed. In all the grand qualities of man
hood he ranked among the foremost.
Kind, genial, charitable, neighbOrly, he
lived a life of purity and full of generous,
noble-hearted deeds. He had no such
thing as an enemy i'll all the years since
first he came among us in 1873. Every
body knew him, but only those who
knew him socially and intimately could
fully know his worth. He was devoted
husband, father, friend. He was honest,
as good as gold. God makes no better
men than Dan ToWner.
He will be buried at Red Bluff, where
he had a large circle of friends and ac-
quaintances, and where he was married
in 1874 to Mrs. ToWner, who was then
Mrs. Hattie Potter. He and his wife
have been among the leaders of rrucIlee
society, and Mrs. Towner mas that sincere
sympathy in her bereavement which
only truest friendship can bestow. He
was 53 years of age, but because of his
temperate, moral life seemed scarcely 40.
He was born in New ork, but came to
three sisters-Mrs. p. S. Lawson and
Mrs. Dana Perkins of Sacramento and
Mrs. l.. Oakley of New Y YOrk.
No fitting tribute can be penned to the
memory of such man. He was an honor
to the community and State.

RAILWAY SIGNALS.
A Standard System Soon to be Put
Into Force.
Division Superintendents Meet and
Consider the New Rules-Changes
in Lantern Colors.

The Southern Pacific Company has de-
cided to abolish all its present rules and
signals for the running of trains, in order
to conform with the standard adopted by
many American lines, under which the
trainmen of one road can run on other
lines. Under this standard perfect uni
formity is aimed at, but it is not being
attained, as slight notifications have
been made in order to suit the ideas of
different Superintendents. The San
Francisco Chronicle says that during the
past week there have been daily sessions
of convention of Division Superintend-
ents from all parts of the Southern Pa
cific system. General Superintendent
Fillmore has occupied the chair, and he
has explained to his subordinates what
the new rules are. They have been fully
discussed, and after amendment they
were ordered printed.
The chief matter of interest in the new
system Of train operation is the adoption
of plan for fixed signals at each station
on all the company's lines. A pole, on
which is an adjustable arm extending
out over the track, will be placed at each
station. When the arm is up it will sig
Nifty 'red," or danger, and the track Will
be closed to an approaching train, which
must wait until the arm is dropped, which
will signify ''white," or that the track is
clear. At night colored lights placed on
the pole will serve the same purposes as
the arm.
Hundreds of new hand and lantern sig
nails, whistling signals and flags have
been adopted, but it will not be necessary
to go into details in describing them, it
being sufficient to say that the changes
made are radical, as one illustration will
suffice to show. The 'go-ahead' signal
for starting trains is now an upward and
forward swinging motion OF the right
hand extended. The new "go-ahead"
signal will be a vertical motion Of the
hand, dropping it toward the ground.
AS for lanterns, the colors are to be
wholly changed, and the colors and posi-
tions of the flags are to be given differ
ent significance from that which they
now have.
1--WE have made fewer changes from the
Standard said Mr.. Fillmore yesterday,
than have any Of the other Western
roads. The Northern and Union Pacific
are much further from it than we will be.
The Pennsylvania Railway is the only
line whose rules thoroughly embody ali
Of the standard code which was agreed TO
by a national convention of general man
ayers and general superintendents. We
Will have the rules in convenient shape
to be handled by the trainmen, and they
will be distributed among them as soon
as possible. They will then be given
ninety days in which to memoriZe them"

BILL CHAMBERS HUNG.
Continued from page /.

At the morning session, Judge
Hardness asked that the contempt
case be taken up at once. The
"court" squirmed and looked nu-
easy. 1t finally stated that its
great love for the laboring man
would not permit it to delay
their case longer, so it would dis
miss the contempt case. The cases
against his poor working men We're
then dismissed. And thus the
ruler collapsed. The farce was
ended-no not ended either, for
the cases are not ended.
1t may have been that the hang
ing of Bill Chambers in efigy
caused disordered thoughts in the
"courts" mind. 1t may have been
the certain knowledge that he was
proceeding in contempt of a higher
court, and that instead of sending
law abiding citizens to jail, he
would soon be behind the bars him
self, that caused Bill Chambers
court to collapse. He may have
thought of criminal prosecutions
and damage suits for false impris-
onment. But most likely he
thought of coat of tar and feath-
ers administered by an outraged
public. At any rate there was
trouble on the old mans mind.
The two or three that stand in with
the court could say no words
that would give the required solace.
For the first time he failed to find
a panacea as he turned the pages of
Every Man His Own Lawyer.
But after all we feel sorry for the
poor old reprobate. He is as much
fool as a knave. May Judge
Holleman have mercy on him.

Bill Keller not Murdered.

In last Sundays Spokane Review
there appeared a special from
Clark's Fork giving the details of a
horrible murder at that place, and
the murdered mans name was Civ
en- as Bill Keller. The name and
description answered so well that
of Bill Keller, a prominent mine
owner and prospector of this place
that many feared it was he. But
our own, big hearted Bill Keller is
still alive and well. He is now on
Rainey creek doing assessment
work on some claims.
The HERALD received dispatch
yesterday from H. d. Hoeye, now
of Clark's Fork, but formerly of
this place, and who is well ac-
quainted with Bill Keller, which
states that the name of the murder
ed man was Walter Keller, and
that it was not Bill Keller.
The murder referred to occurred
near Clark's Fork last Friday.
Walter Keller was travelling
with five horses from Horse Plains,
Montana, to Washington. He had
just sold $4,000 worth of horses
and had the money with him. He
picked up a man to help him
through to Washington. Just before
leaving Clark's Fork the hired man
borrowed Keeler's pistol, and a
few miles from there, in a lonely
place, he assassinated his defense
less victim, robbed him and made
4 good his escape.
