Dealt Of Charles e White.

The older residents of Sank Centre
will learn with severe grief OF the
death CT Charles Edwin White, for
years conspicous figure in the social
life of this city, one of the most genial
and warm hearted of men, a true friend
kind and sympathetic neighbor and
a good citizen. About nine years ago
he removed to California, and the sue
ceeding year his wife and three chill
dren followed him. He engaged in
the real estate business in company
with his brother James at East Oak
land, and prospered, making consider
able money, erecting fine home and
living literally. Misfortune, however,
overlook him, and he lived to see a
comfortable fortune swept from him,
and he leaves little for his family.
For several months he has been a
severe sufferer from an abscess back
of the eye, and it was this which proved
fatal. He passed away on Sunday,
February 18th.
He was native of Maine, and came
to Sank Centre in the seventies, and
on December oath 1S78-he was married
to Mary L. Hubbard, daughter of Mrs.
Robert Edgar, and they resided here
for about ten years, Mr.. White build
ing pretty and comfortable home in
HoboEen, where hospitality was dis
pensed with cordiality which made
Mr.. and Mrs. White CONSPICUOUS fig
ures in the social life of Sank Centre.
He was of speculative bent, and en-,
gagged in various lines of business both
as principle and agent. Three chill
dren were born to him here, two daugh-
tiers and son, and daughter after
they left here, their respective ages
being Ii, II, 9 and 2 years. He has
two brothers living, James, with whom
he was associated in business at East
Oakland, and Henry K, who is Clerk
of the Court of Douglas county. His
aged mother, who has made her home
with him for several years survives
him.
Mr.. White was an active Odd Fellow
and Mason, but it is thought he car
ried no life insurance with either or
der.
The sincere sympathy of hosts of
friends go out to the bereaved widow
and children.
Mr.. White was veteran of the war
of the rebellion, and while not pen
sioner, steps will be taken to secure a
widows pension for Mrs. White.

Held Up.

One night last week when the wind was
blowing forty miles an hour, and the Their
moneter was way down in the valley, one of
our city busslnan hitched up his team to
make the night train. When he climbed on
the seat the air was so filled with snow he
could scarcely see the horses. He bravely
started for the Great Northern depot. Not a
living thing was in sight. The night was
silent, except the bowling of the wind. He
was filled with his own thoughts and the ho-
tells midnight lunch. The lame horses were
heavily dragging their limbs through the pile
ing snow, when man sprang out~from ap-
parently nowhere, and GRABBED them by the
brides,
Halt! came the stern voice of the robber.
know I'll halt, said the near horse, have
got nail in my foot, you must be a mind
reader. Shut up said the.robber, this is no
horse play, Pm talking to the driver. Have
you got any money? N-o-o-o, said the shiv-
ering driver, as he looked up and saw, a form
that seemed as tall as telephone pole, I've
already been touched by the-frost. Throw
up yonr hands yelled the robber, and the
driver quickly pulled out of his pocket three
aces and pair of Jacks and threw them into
the air, and they drifted away with the snow.
Do you want me to blow your brains out,
shouted the now exasperated robber. Ha,
Ha, the wind has got the start of you
laughed the driver. What did you do for a
living, asked the robber, before you went to
driving buss?
fused to run a meat market and work
life insurance said the driver. Slow
ly the stifened fingers loosened their hold OF
the brides. Slowly they went into pocket
and drew out piece of silver and passed it
to the driver. A sad voice coming out of
fierce whiskcrs, said, drive on. The robber
was left alone in the snow and gloom, and
his hot tears burned square holes in the snow
that can be seen unto this day.
