OBITUA AIRY.
CHARLES H. M'KIERNAN.


Another pioneer of California passed to
the unknown beyond yesterday morning. a
man who was well and favorably known
throughout the State and closely connected
with the history Of Santa Clara County, one
of the largest-hearted and most generous
citizens of San Jose, says the San J ose
Herald.
Charles Henry McKiernan had been alling
for about two months from the effects of
the grip, and on last Monday was compelled
to &c to bed. From that time his illness
rapidly became more serious, and during
the last few days his life was despaired Of
Death, however, did not end his suffering
| until at 4 o'clock Saturday morning, when,
surrounded by his faithful wife and family,
he breathed his last.
The deceased was a native of county
Leitrim. Ireland, and aged 60 years.
Mountain Charley" as he was Familiarity
called by his friends, left Ireland during the
famine Of 1913 and went to Australia, where
he remained until 1850. In the spring of
| that year he landed in California and imme-
diately started for the Mines locating at
Trinidad, Humboldt County, where, after
laboring for a short time, he secured funds
sufficient to purchase fifteen mules. With
these animals he started to carry sup
plies from the coast to the inland mines.
The first trip was very profitable one. and
ten more mules were purchased. 1t did not
five animals, and Mountain CharleyIwassoOn
on the road again, with every hope OF rap
idly gaining wealth. This hope was sh ort-
lived, for hand Of Indians was encCun-
tered and the mules were stampeded, and
their owner narrowly escaped with his life.
This disaster having swept away all his
earnings he became disguised with the mines
and came TO Santa Cruz County, locating on
the summit, between that and Santa Clara
County.
The country was wilderness then, and
Mountain Charley was compelled to take
up his abode in the hollow of one OF the
many giant trees which abOunded liz that
vicinity. Here he lived seven months, sup
porting himself by hunting and trapping
for the San Francisco market.
At the end of this time he had completed
q suitable dwelling into which he moved,
and then became engaged In raising stock
and clearing off land.
A road having been built from San Jose
to Santa Cruz, he put on line of stages
which he ran fer several years. He next
gave his attention to the lumber business
which he followed up to the time of his
death, when he was the owner Of 5000 acres
in the vicinity where he located on the
Santa Cruz Mountains, large berry ranch
on the Alyiso road and large lumber-yard
at the corner Of Fourth aud st. John
streets.
In 1884 he moved his family from their
mountain home to the handsome residence.
225 San Augustine street, where they have
since resided.
During his residence on the Santa Cruz

AN INSANE BRIDE.
Sad Sequel to the Brilliant Courtney Cutting
Wedding.

BosToN, Jan. 16.-A special from Pr0vi-
dence announces fer the first time that Mrs.
Harold Courtney, formerly the beautiful
Bella Cutting of this C ty, is confined in an
insane asylum in Genoa for the attempted
murder of her handsome young husband
From this has leaked out the facts of
the girls unhappy condition and the
criminal negligence of her friends
in allowing her to get married
She Is the daughter of a wealthy
Chicago meat-packer. Her mother diving
early, she was sent East to be raised by
friends here. Two years since insanity
manifested itself and she was sent to an in
stitutIOn near New York City, and after six
months treatment discharged as cured, with
warning that she must not be allowed to
get excited. y short while later she met
AlT. Courtney at a reception in New York
and fell deeply in love with him. They be-
came engaged before her friends knew Of
It and they then were so afraid
that the destruction Of her romance
would bring on a return Of her mania that
they failed to warn Mr.. Courtney and the
wedding took place, 1t being one of the
most brilliant of the past season They at
once went abroad and on the voyage out
insanity returned and the bride made two
desperate attempts to murder her husband.
She had to be kept under guard on the
steamer She was finally taken to An aSy-

learned the truth, was heart-brOken, aud

Walter Abbott Wood, the well-known in
ventOr and manufacturer OF harvesting ma
chimes, died yesterday at his home In
Hoosick Falls, n. Y. He was born in
Mason, n. H., October %, 1915. He was a
son of Aaron Wood, who early settled in
New York State, and was among The first

vented by Jethro Wood The boy had
natural fOndness for mechanics. and con-
tinued in his fathers shops until be was 20
years old. In 1885 he settled in H0osick
Falls, n. Y, where he entered the works Of
Parsons & Wilder, and, after acquiring a
small capital, began business on his own
account He studied the mechanism Of
farming implements, and soon introduced
the Nanny harvesting machine, with
Woods improvements, of which, in 1852, he
made and sold nearly 200. Mr. Wood con-
tinued to improve and invent better forms
of mowers and reapeTs, and in 1858 his sales
amounted to 500 machines. These were 80
well received that he determined to
increase his works and manufacture on
as large a scale as possible. In 1863
he disposed of 5000 machines and in 1884 OF
1880. 10 all, fully 100000 machines were
manufactured ana sold by him since he eS-
tablished himself In business. About thirty
patents were taken out by Mr. Wood, and
his works are probably the most extensive
of their kind in the world. He conducted
his business alone until 1866, when it was
organized into a stock company, called the
W alter a. Wood Moving and Reapng Com
pany, OF which Mr.. Wood was President
He early recognized the Importance Of fur
HiShing the markets abroad with his ma
chimes, and his foreign sales steadily in
creased until it is estimated that 90 per cent
of the machines that are sold abroad were
made by him. The value OF his inventions
was recognized by the award Of first prizes
at the Worlds Fairs in Paris in 1861 in
Vienna in 1873, in Philadelphia in 1876, and
in Paris In 1878 as well as bY medals at
local fairs. He received the order of Francis
Joseph from the Austrian Government, and
WAS an officer of the Legion of Honor in
France. In 1873 he was sent as a Republi-
can to Congress- and he served from March

mountains, and while engaged in hunting
he had terrible encounter which nearly
ended his usefulness on earth.
1t was about thrty-fve years ago One
day be went in search of deer, and reaching
q deep rayine, espied on the opposite side
large bear. Mountain Charley concluded
that ne wanted that bear, but the distance
was too far for a coed shot, and he pro-
ceeded to cross the ravine, not in the least
suspecting that bruin, also having his appe-
tite with him and having caught glimpse
OF the hunter was crossing tue raYine to
meet bis w0uld-be slayer.
Mountain Charley knew every inch Of the
country and took the shortest cut to reach
the bear. While passing through thick
ciump of bushes the noise of breaking OF
limbs attracted his attention, and looking
up the hunter saw, not over six feet away,
his 0earshp. who was apparently as sur
prlsed as his pursuer.
Mountain Charley was armed with a
Spencer rifle, which in those days carried
only one ball. He was dead shot, but the

launches at the sight of the hunter. IN
nerYed him and he fired before he sighted
his rifle, with the result that the bear was
only slightly wounded, but thoroughly
aroused

loaded weapon, and this Mountain Charley
raised as the animal rushed toward him.
but it was swept aside as feather, and
bruin clasped the hunter in his powerful
grasp, and brought down one OF his paws
on the hunters head, crushing the skull and
rendering the man senSeless.
The bear then dragged the body to the
foot Of a tree near by, dug hole, placed
the unconscious man therein and partly
covered him with dirt and leaves. Then he
sat down TO watch his captive.
Mountain Charley partly regained con-
seriousness and moved about reStleSsly in
grabbed him up again, using the murder0us
paw so effectively that little life was left in
the hunters body.
Late in the afternoon of the same day
some Spaniards, who were hunting. came
across the manged body and bore it to the
hunters home. Physicians were summoned,
and after an examination decided that
Mountain CharleY's days were numbered,
though he might survive for day or two,
but he could not recover from the injuries
received. The frontal bone of the skull
was torn out from the eyes to the suture.
Mountain Charley was an Old-time hum
ter and a man Of great vitality. tie lin
gered between life and death for several
weeks and then commenced to improve,
with the result that he was nursed back to
lie, although greatly diSfigured.
He was a friend TO death to any man who
proved himself worthy of his friendship,
and man whose honesty was proverbial.
He leaves devoted widow and five chill
dren, three girls and two boys, to mourn his
taking off. The children are Mrs. j. +.
