Killed His Partner

Harry j. Cole, blacksmith, the
first of the week shot his partner,
John Sullivan, in leg, near Bridge
port, Cal. Cole rode into town and
sent assistance to Sullivan, but the
latter bled to death before help
reached him. A Coroner's jury in
vestigated the matter and found
that the shooting of Sullivan by
Cole was malicious, willful and
without provacation. Cole is
charged with murder and is now in
Jail.
The Cole charged with this crime
is supposed to be the same person
who, few weeks ago was acquitted
of the charge of attempting to kill
Hon. T. B. Hickey at or near
Bridgeport.

y. g. HUGHES.
You Abortion. stand Up. Here.

Some two months ago there APP
peared in this town young man
by the name of Hughes. He came
here to act as telegraph operator
and Wells, Fargo 4 Co.'S agent for
a week or two while w. w. Coffin,
the regular agent, took a short va
cation. The story has been told of
how he got drunk, imagined he was
a poker player, and gambled off
and squandered about $40 Of the
company's money, and then tried
to get out of the State, but was
caught and brought back and put
in the county jail But the entire
story has not been told of how he
was liberated and kept from going
to the State Prison, the place he
should justly abide in for the bal
ance of his life. When Hughes
found himself behind the bars here
he sent for some OF influential men
of the place, who were Masons, and
represented that if they would
communicate with his father, in
Oregon, that the old gentleman
would make the shortage good if
the company would agree not to
prosecute. For the sake of saving
Hughes old father and mother and
his wife and little child the disgrace
of having the sos, husband and
father spend term in the State
Prison, Wells, Fargo Il Co. agreed
not to prosecute, and few of the
citizens of Dayton made good the
amount of the shortage. Hughes
was liberated from the county Jail
here and his father notified of what
had been done. The old gentle
man wrote very pitiful letter to
persons here who had interested
themselves in his sons behalf, but
stated that at the present time it
was utterly impossible for him to
raise the money for the shortage,
although he would make it good as
soon as possible if it was the last
act of his life. The Hughes are
shoemakers, and the sporty son
when he got out of Jail made prep
arations to start a cobbling shop in
Silver City. His father sent him
about $50 worth of tools, and while
waiting for them to arrive the duti-
full son put in his time playing
cards, drinking whisky, borrowing
money and standing off his land
lady for board. He also did a lit |
tie MASKING on the side, got whip
ped in bar-room fight and showed |
his ears on all occasions. After
opening his shop in Silver City he
did a few days work, went to Vir-
ginia, and, it is reported, slid over
the grade and left for Utah.
This is the caliber of J. G.
Hughes, telegraph operator and |
shoemaker, who is gray before his
time from dissipation. We hope
that this may be read far and wide
but that his parents and wife may
never see it. Those who do read it |
should greet J. G. with open arms,
because he escaped from Sucker
vile on the Carson with his life.
If this amt SIS worth we will take
the balance of the piece out in the
same way at some other time.

IN MEMORIAM-
Comparatively Sudden Death Of II. n,
KreiseI

Last Monday morning, Sept, 10Th,
1895, at about 10 o'clock, Theodore
H. Kreisel Cor Tate, az he was fanr
iliarly calledD who was Constable of
Mason Valley Township, departed
this life at the residence of Edward
Dillon, in the southern part of the
town of Yerington. Tate was born
in Coloma, Cal, on May 7th, 1860.
The family moved to Silver City,
New, in 1861; from there to Dayton
in 1862, and to Mason Valley in
1871. Deceased had not been en-
joying the best of health for some
weeks, but, being of a strong, robust
nature, did not take to his bed un-
til eight days prior to his death. DR..
Leavitt, than whom there is none
better, furnished medical aid, but
to no purpose. Everything that
friends could do or suggest was done
to relieve and comfort the patient,
but all failed. An insidious and
stubborn attack of malaria and ty-
phoid fever had set in and could
not be overcome. Edward Kreisel,
of San Francisco, brother of Tate's,
arrived in time to attend the funeral.
The only heir is a young son in
Pescadero, Cal, who will receive all
the property, and who will be liber-
ally educated by Ed. Kreisel.
Because Of Tate's hardy constitu-
ton it was believed he would regain
his health, but the universal aud
relentless tyrant, Death, called him
away. Whatever of evil we may
escape in life, whatever of good we
may miss, one lot awaits all man
kind. We must all yield to Death.
Truly it has been said that "the
pleasant vices Of our youth make
lashes which scodrge us in our old
age" yet if all Tate's good deeds
were flowers the air would be laden
with perfume.
The pail bearers at the funeral.
which took place Wednesday, were
Francis Carol, w. d. Foster, An
drew Cooney, Jas. Downey, J. w.
Mcpherson, and John Stevenson.
The funeral took place from the
home of w. b. Sanders, Tate's STEP
father. From this same beautiful
home the mother was buried last
October. The procession to the
graveyard was large one and
compliment to deceased. The pro-
fusion of floral tributes on the &C.
caslon was source of much com
ment and praise The choir, com
posed of Mesdames Littell, McNeely
Crowninshield, MCGOWAN, Miss
Fannie Laughlin, Miss Cecilia
Johns, and Messers. Johns and
Crowninshield, rendered apprnpri-
ate music, and Rev. Johns discourse
was touching enough to reach the
heart of the most obtuse. During
the ceremony at the grave a singu-
lar coincident transpired. AS the
cortege entered the graveyard al
golden eagle perched upon preci-
pice just back of the cemetery and
maintained his position, viewing the
proceedings until the last carriage
left the grounds.
To conclude the enconium let us
quote Washington Irving: "Oh the
gravel the gravel 1t buries every
error, every defect, extinguishes
every resentment. From its peace
full bosom spring none but fond re-
grets and tender recollections. Who
can look upon the grave even Of an
enemy and not feel compunctious
throb that he should have warred
with the poor handful of earth that

sISMARcKS TRAITS.
How tho Old Chancellor Cnmo Gu: Ahead
of u Stupid Hotel Keeper.


Perhaps the chief trait of Bismarck
genius is to be found in his entire freedom
from the prcconccivcd notions, and in tho
linpidncss of his mind which refused to
submit to accepted fallacics. This tendon
cy in carly ago earned for him, of the dull
pcdantry and primo Philistincs around
him, tho sobriquct of "Tollc Bismarck"
tho mad Bisnarck-but later OH it re-
suited in the complete demolition of tho
old system of diplomacy. For cquivocation
and downright falschood his powerful in
tcllect substituted II kind of outrageous
frankncss which bcwlldcrcd and outwittcd
his Anniversaries. Nothing however, marks
his strong personality moro wildly than
tho intense hatrcds and blind dcvotions
with which no has surrounded himself
Ho Ind tho courage to be himself the
power to rely upon himself and to look mt
things in tho face, while the keen sense of
humor enabled him to sec clearly the vast
array of sham and pompous prctcnse of
public and private life.
Never had madness moro method than
Is shown by tho originality of this strange
being, half Mcphistophcles half dragon,
who, before subduing to his iron will the
whole of European diplomacy, shocked
and Mortified tho fogics of the old school
with tho innucndoes and insinuations, tho
surcasnS and stories, tho gibcs and Jokes
which no flung mt their heads mcrcilcssly
and continually. Tho wiggcd and powder
ell pomp which covered diplomatic pre-
tense and mendacity was torn aside the
instant that Prince Bismarck got grip
of political realities, and his first appear
ancc among tho digniticd cxccllcncics of
the German diet constituted o vcritablc
revolution.
The incidents of his early relations with
these empty headed ''importants sans i'm
portancc' offer perhaps tho most racy of
the many anccdotes-in Prince Bsmarck's
own words in many cases-in his Boswell,
his faithful secretary, DR.. Moritz Busch.
His first encounter at Frankfort was with
his hostler who, like all tho good bur
ghcrs of tho FREQ city ut that time was
intensely nnti-Prussian. Tho old hotel
where he put up, as Prussian delegate to
the diet, was not provided with u complete
system of bells, and Bismarck asked for
hand bell at least, whcrcwith to commu-
nicatc with his valet. But he was gruffly
told there was none to spare, and that nc
must shift for himself. Early next morn
ing the loud report of pistol set all the
guests in panic, with the exception of
Bismarck's servant, who explained that,
as no bell was forthcoming, his master had
summoned him by pistol shot. Five min
utcs later the desired bell was placed with
in Bismarck's rcach.-New York Post.

Its Divisibility and Its Relation to the
Speed of the Planets.

Napoleon, who knew the value of time,
remarked that it was the quarter hours
that won battles. The value of minutes
has been often recognized, and any person
watching railway clerk handling out
tickets and change during the last few
minutes available must have been struck
with how much could be done in those
short portions of time
AT the appointed hour the train starts,
and by and by is carrying passengers at
the rate of GO miles an hour In a second
you are carried 30 yards. In one twenty
ninth of II second you pass over one yard.
Now, one yard is quite an apprcciable dis
lance, but one twenty ninth Of second
Is period which cannot be appreciated
Yet 1t Is when we come to planetary and
stellar motions that the notion of the in
finite divisibility of time dawns upon us
in new light. 1t would seem that no
portion of time, however microscopic Is
unavailable. Nature can perform prodi-
gies not certainly in less than no time, but
in portions of 1t SO minute as to be alto
gcther inconccivable. The Garth revolycs
on her axis in "a hours. At the equator
her circumference is %, 900 miles Hence
In that part Of the earth q person is being
carried eastward at the rate of 500 yards
per sccond-that is, he is moving over q
yard, whose length is conceivable in tho
period or one observation-disclosures ninth part
of a second, of which we can have no con-
ception at all.
But more the orbital motion of tho
earth around the sun causes the former to
perform revolution of nearly 600, 600, 600
miles in year, or somewhat less than TO-
600 miles an hour, which is more than
1000 miles n minute. Here, thcn our sec
ond carries us the long distance of about
10 miles. The mighty ball thus flies about
