DEATH OF 7. M. LINDLEY.
One of the Pioneer Merchants of
Sacramento.

In the death of Thomas Morton Lind
ley, who died at his home in this city
yesterday, the community has lost one
of its most substantial and worthy cit
lens, and one of the earliest-if not the
earliest-of her pioneer merchants. He
was n years of age.
The immediate cause of his death was
heart failure. For the past year and
half he had known that his life was
held by slender thread. He had been
i'll frequently, and this last attack was
so like the others that his death was
IN a great measure unexpected and a
great shock to his family and friends.
He expired without pain. Desiring to
look out of the window, he had risen
from his couch and taken but few
steps when he fell back dead into his
daughters arms.
Deceased was the senior member of
the old established wholesale grocery
firm of Lindley & Co, his associate
being his son, D. A. Lindley.
Mr.. Lindley was a native of Indiana,
and came to California during the rush
of goldseekers in the memorable year of
lS49. He had been trained in mercan-
tile pursuits, but like the majority of
those who came to the State in 1S49
he first set out for the mines, and after
engaging in freighting for a. time he
began delving for gold at Horseshoe
Bar, on the North Fork of the American
River
Returning to the then hamlet of Sac
ramento he erected a rough frame
building on L street, near Seventh,
where he and L. A. Booth conducted a
general merchandise store under the
firm name of Lindley & Booth They
lost everything in the great flood of
1852, and subsequently Mr. Lindley
became a member of the firm of Fry,
Hoops & Co., whose store was at Sew
enth and streets. He soon afterward
purchased the interests of the others,
and conducted the business by himself
until 1858. Then he took in two new
partners, and Lindley, Worcester &
Weaver carried on the business until
the disastrous flood of 1861 came and
played havoc with the city. After that
Mr.. Lindley again became the sole pro-
prietor, but in 1886 his son, D. A. Lind
ley, became his business partner
Mr.. Lindley time and again declined
public honors but consented to serve
on the Board of Levee Commissioners
from 1868 to 1865. He was also a
member of the City Board of Education
for several years. He was a member
of the Pioneer Society, and his death
will be mourned by many Of those who
knew him in early days.
During the floods Of 1862 he did an
immense amount of work with the
Howard Benevolent Association and
had ever continued a member, serving
as Treasurer many terms. He served
seven years in the Volunteer Fire De-
partment, and was a member Of the
Exempt Ffreman's Association. Though
maintaining a continuous residence in
Sacramento he represented his firm
at San Francisco in 1857. There he met
and married Isabella V. Arlington,
who died in this city in June, 1881.
The family of Mr.. Lindley consists Of
his daughters, Mrs. Leila ]. Witherbee,
Mrs. Alice Reith, and Mrs. Hunt, and
his sons Dudley A. and Morton Lind
ley. Mrs. Lindley died several years
ago, and their youngest daughter a
couple of years since.

LIVELY SCHOOL ELECTIONS.
4 Contest Will be Made in the
American River District.

Things have not been entirely har-
monious in the elections for School
Trustees in the county this time, there
having been several hotly contested
elections.
American River District, just outside
the city, heads the list alphabetically
and sensationally, and there will be
contest for the position. There have
been a number of bitter fights for Trus-
tee in this district in the past, and 1T
seems that no change for the better
has taken place. The tally sheet showed
that eighty-three votes We're cast on
Friday, but when the ballot-box was
emptied and the ballots counted,
it was found that eighty-five bal
lots had been deposited. and one
voter claimed that he saw another put
in two ballots.
When the ballots were counted, 1t
appeared that - Sullivan had re-
ceived forty-three ballots and -
Fourrat had received forty-two.

Howard yesterday against Sullivan

election at Freeport, and although the
Governor was not asked to call out the
militia, Sheriff Johnson was given a
broad hint that trouble was imminent
between the contending factions, and
that the services of his trained corps
of sharpshooters might be necessary
to keep down the feverish excitement
that might be engendered. He was
present on the spot, but no riot occurred,
and, as one Of the contesting factions
withdrew shortly after the polls opened.
NJ. T. Hunt and N. D. Hack were
elected by one-sided vote.
w. c. Sheldon was easily elected in
Rhoads District, there being three can
didates.
At Gait George Orr was elected for
the one-year term; S. M. Fulton for the

The Indian looked down upon the

were still enjoying the fruits OF their
great raid. They had as many horses
and oxen as they could drive be-
fore them, and the sq'iaws were
gay with the rings and watches that
had been torn from the bodies OF
those who had met the column on its
wild ride from the reservation to the
Mexican mountains.
1t didn't take him long to under
stand. There were tracks there never
made by moccasins, and he followed
the broad trail until he comprehend
ed. The soldiers had come and were
taking the renegades back to San Car
los. He looked fer signs of battle,
but found none. The cactus was not
torn up, there were no empty cartridge
shells, no graves and no blood stains.
The last raid before this one that he
was on the soldiers had also found them.
and many were killed in fight, and
when they got the rest back to the res
ervation some were hanged and some
were sent away with iron rings fasten-
ing their hands and feet. So he did not
follow the back trail long. Maybe they
would break away from the soldiers.
If they didn't they would be sure to

began to crowd the road with their
teams. So he made up his mind to wait.

Soldiers he could not understand. They
were always after him and his kind
when they left the agency, and yet
when they had him there they derived
neither amusement nor profit from him,
for they neither tortured him nor made
him work. He never stole the soldiers
horses, and did not kill them, except
when they pursued him, because they
went too many together, SO he could not
see why they were always after him.
He had kept away from them pretty

Three days passed before Jesus and
his comrades came to the bait, but dur

outside Of the adobe house.
just Mt dark on the third day they
came-nct with rush, but crawling
and sneaking, until only the space of
the dooryard separated them from the
houseful of women and children. Then
they started up boldly. The Apache
yell of triumph was still in the air when
the soldiers fired. Each bullet found
an Infian, and all fell, and when the
soldiers came oat to make sure of their
work there were six dead Indians In
the dOoryard. So tho soldiers went
away, and the holy sister OF Ste. Gene
We've, who had come with the other
women, prayed until far into the night
for the dead. While she prayed she
heard voice ont &C the moOnless night
"a weak, dying voice--and it pleaded
and begged for water.
Aqua! Agua!"
The voice was growing weaker.
aqua! Agua!"
1t was almost whisper--a hard,
rafting whisper from palate blaz-
ing and dry from thirst.
The good sister could not listen to
it. The words of her prayer anne back
to herher plea for Divine mercy for
the poor savages.
"Dios mi manda," she murmured.
GOOD sends me.')
She filed a canteen from the cool
ola and stepped out into the night.
She could not see, but the hoarse voice
of the dying Indian guided her. she
stumbled over something in the dark,
and it made her shudder. She reached
the side of the form from which the
faint cries for water came-a form with
a great bleeding, mortal wound in it,
through which the soldiers bullet had
gone--and stopped over to put the
canteen to his lips.
AS she did SO The right hand of the
dying man shot up. and the holy Sister
of Ste. Genevieve fell backward with a
knife driven through her heart. For

lie did not modest the ranches except
to steal horse or Il cow for food, when
he did not want to waste ammunition
on deer. There was danger about the
ranches, and Jesus took no chance of
getting shot. He killed man whenever
he could do so safely, not because he
cared about plundering him, but on
the same principle that man kills a
snake whenever he meets one.
One day he went out to the road that
led to the north. He waited among
the rocks and brush of the great canyon
until he heard the sound OF wheels, and
pretty soon a carriage came along with
Mexican and lady and baby in it.
And from his perch along the rocks
he shot the man, but he did not kill
him outright. The Mexican had life
enough to know that he was in an
Apache ambush and killed the woman
before a second shot from Jesus Win
chester killed him. That man knew
what an Apache was, and Jesus. in
revenge, mutilated the dead bodies and
killed the baby.
