Stricken Soldiers who Forgot Their Own
Wounds.
Marion T. Anderson was captain
of the Fifty-frst Indiana volunteers.
While leading his company at the battle
of Stone river he was wounded by bull
let and was left in the field for dead. He
remained unconscious for IS hours, and
when he came to his senses, found him
self prisoner. Some weeks after his
incarceration the confederates decided
to execute two captains in revenge for
treatment given to some of their cap
tured soldiers. Seventy-fve union Off
GERS were obliged to draw lots to de-
termine who should be the victims.
Capt. Anderson was among the number.
He did not draw the death slip, and his
good fortune continued with him, for q

"Darnstown, Md, was a little one

Adams.
1.-The way in which the people in
Darnstown celebrated Christmas week

They did nothing for seven days but
have good time.
THE colored people were given a
weeks vacation from work. They rev.

"The women wore gayly colored hand
kerchiefs twisted around their heads
and folded over their breasts. For
those bright-colored cotton handker-
chiefs, their black faces, laughing eyes
and cleaning teeth made good foils.
"They made music with banjos and
violins, and serenaded some one every
night. Meeting any of us in the street,
they would hold out their hands with n
musical Christmas gift, boss and a
flash of their white teeth; the boys al
ways gave them something.

kind of regularity that year.
"A box directed to Capt. Hill came
wandering into camp weeks afterward.
1t contained the remains of what had
once been a turkey. On the night of
the day it had arrived in camp, at 12

Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1896-10-31

Last Tuesday about noon, Fred
Kelly, who had been i'll with ty-
phoid malarial fever for month
past, succumbed to the disease. Fred
was taken sick about d month ago,
and was then confined to his bed
for week or ten days. He recover
ed SO that he was able to be out on
the street for day or two, but re-
ceived set back and again had to
take to the bed. What actually
caused his death was puncturing of
the bowels, which let the gas escape,
and effected the heart, so that death
came very suddenly.
Fred Kelly was a native of Mis-
souri,, aged 20 years. He came to
Dayton between two and three years
ago to work on the Dredge Co.'S
plant When operations suspended
Fred went to Bodie, where he re-
manned for several months. Re-
turning to Dayton he remained here
for short time and then went to
Empire to work for the Peck Bros.
For the past four months Fred has
been engaged in mining on the fat
at the foot of Gold Canyon.
The news of his death surprised
his many friends here, and they inn
mediately took steps to notify his
relatives. He leaves a mother re-
siding in Phoenix, Arizona, and a
sister in California, also two broth
ers, the whereabouts of whom could
not be learned. The Odd Fellows,
of which Order Fred was member,
conducted the funeral ceremonies,
which were held at the Court House,
and Rev. G. G. Hunting preached
the funeral sermon. The funeral
was largely attended by friends from
this place and Empire and the floral
decorations were profuse and beau
tiful.
Fred Kelly was genial, whole
souled young man, who made a
friend wherever he made an &C
quaintance. His untimely taking
off was a sad blow, and his many
friends here extend their heartfelt
sympathies to his sorrowing rela-
tives.

Has Nothing to Explain.

The independent candidate for
State Senator in Lyon County, was
a member of the Legislature in
1885. In his canvass this year he
says he has nothing to explain in
regard to his record as an Assem-
blyman, Maybe it is not necessary
for him to explain how a bill be-
came a law while he was a member
of the Lower House, which raised
the salary of the Treasurer from
5000 to $1,000 year. 1t may not
be necessary, either, to explain why
he voted for the bill to raise the
County Commissioners salary from
$500 a year to 5000 a year and
mileage. 1t may not be necessary
to explain why he allowed bill to
become law which allowed the
Assessor deputy at So per day,
and which cost Lyon county $3.50
or more for a deputy Assessor in
1886, while the Assessor attended
to his saloon business. It may not
be necessary to explain to the sa.
loon men that Mr.. Leavitt voted
for the anti.treat bill, which it was
supposed would diminish the sa-
loon business by half. Taking il
all in all, it does not seem to be a
good year for independents to make
explanations, anyway. The above
statements are facts that you can
assure yourself of by reading the
House Journal of 1885.

The Truth VIII Prevnil.

Mr.. Littell, our present efficient
Sheriff and Assessor, says he has
collected whole lot of money as
license on sheep under the Act of
1895, and what he did not collect
on got out of the county before he
could get to them. If this is the
case why did these men 60 into
Esmeralda county to pay their
taxes, and there make no objection
to the new law? And why was
Mr.. Littell's excuse for not collect
ing this tax, that he had no Dis
trict Attorney to back him up if he
attached the sheep as provided by
law? At a meeting in Yerington
this week Mr.. Littell was present
when the question was directed to
him "Has not $4,000 worth of
property been driven out of this
county by the sheep license Act?"
Mr.. Littell claims he did not answer
the question, but he knew the state
was absolutely false. He now says
that such statement was false.
In regard to the statement that
is being made that Mr.. Littell has
been negligent in collecting poll
taxes and personal property taxes.
here are some figures from the re-
turns. Last year, to make a good
showing as new hand, Mr.. Littell
collected $50 poll taxes, and some
thing over 81, 300 in personal pro-
perty taxes up to the first of Sep
TENDER. This year he has collect
ed 96 poll taxes, and about 1886 in
personal property taxes. His state
ment in the independent candidates
official (hand) organ is that the
men are not in the county. 1t is a
fact that the assessment roll has
fallen off some this year, but the
list of voters shows about the same
number from which poll taxes
should have been collected. This
is an election year, however; last
year was not, and there is more
than one way of making friends al
the expense of the county. If, as
Mr.. Littell says, the men are mol
here to collect from, or are out OF
work and cannot pay poll tax. is
it not a good argument that there
is need of a change; that we need
new life in the country; that free
coinage is what will give it to US,
and that the men who belong to
the party which is fighting for this
reform is the party to support on
next Tuesday?
