Fatal Accident.

Ernest Meissner, who was engi-
neer of M. Bovard's threshing en-
CINE, met with fatal accident in
Mason Valley last Wednesday after
noon. The threshing outfit was
moving out of Henry Pursells
field, and the engine was being
drawn by a single span of horses.
1t stuck in soft ground, aud Meiss-
ner went between the wheels to
draw the water from the boiler !.
Two more horses were hitched onto
the engine and Meissner was told
to look out. The four horses pulled
the engine out of the hole, but
Meissner did not get out of the way
quick enough and the heavy boiler
and engine ran over him, the wheels
passing over the lower part of his
body and his shoulder and head.
When the accident was discovered
a doctor was Immediately sent for
and everything possible done to re-
lieve the suffering man, but he died
after lingering for about four hours.
Ernest Meissner was the eldest son
of G. F. Meissner, of Mason Valley,
and was about 35 years Of age
He was a we'll known and highly
respected young man, and had
many friends who will be sorry to
learn of his sad and sudden death.

DEATH OF TOW GAVIN.
killed in a Gun Fight in sonora


The Mother Lode, published ut
jamestown, Cal, says fatal shoot
ing ARRAY took place in the Avon
saloon, in Sonora, on Wednesday,
the 18th inst, in which Thomas
Gavin was killed. Gavin and a
man named Garaghty, both under
the influence of liquor, had an al
tercation in the saloon, and finally
Gavin pulled his gun and shot at
Garaghty. In pulling the pistol
the holster came with it, and when
the shot was fired the bullet went
wide Of the mark. By this time
Garaghty began shooting, and the
first bullet from his pistol struck
Gavin in the nose. The second one
struck him in the back of the neck,
paralyzing the lower part of the
body Gavin fingered until Friday
morning last, when he died. A
charge of murder was entered
against Garaghty, but he will, no
doubt, be discharged.
Tom Gavin formerly lived in
Dayton and conducted black
smithing business in partnership
with d. P. Randall, and later with
Chas. Box. He was well known,
and was a genial, whole-souled fell
low, but when drinking was inclin-
ed to be ugly and quarrelsome, and
Of late years it is said that liquor
had made him a perfect slave.
When he came to Dayton he
brought Belle Laws here as his
bride. Some years ago she secured
a divorce from Tom, and is now
living in Empire, the home of her
childhood A daughter resides in
Reno, and several other children
are with their mother. Poor Tom!
Liquor was his curse No better
workman in his line ever struck
the State, and but for the cursed
habit of strong drink he might be
holding responsible and lucrative
position, surrounded by all the
comforts of pleasant home and
family.

A Good Find.

Last week, while sluicing in Gold
Canyon, a short distance above the
DEVILS Gate, A. M. Cromer discov-
cred nice little bar of bullion. The
bar is gold, and contains close to II
ounces, and as the gold is quite fine,
is probably worth in the neighbor-
hood of 5000. OF course nobody
knows how the bar got into the
creek, but old timers in Silver City,
remem Der of several holdups made
near the DEVILS Gate in early days,
and it is probable that the little bar
found by Mr.. Cromer was taken
from it's owner and then lost, or
that he threw it away, when de-
manded to hand it over, hoping to
find it again; but failing to do so it
lay hidden in the creek until re-

A Kansas Tale of Woe.

Hark to this tale of woe, says
the St. Louis Republics; A man out
in Kansas mortgaged his farm to
buy his wife pair of diamond ear
rings. The wife took in washing to
pay the interest on the mortgage,
but the first job she did she lost one
of the sparklers in the suds, and
tried to hang herself in the barn,
but the rope broke and she fell on
Jersey cow worth $3.50, breaking
her back. Her husband then un-
dertook to shoot the COW to end her
misery, but the gun bursted and
destroyed his eyes, and his wife ran
away with lightning rod peddler.
The mortgage is the only thing left
intact.

APPLYING STABLE MANURE

A general principle applies to all kinds

crop growing upon it. Land we'll covered
With late growth OF clover or grsss Of
any kind is the ideal place 10 apply
manure at this season OF the year. An eI
change says:
The clover plants will take up oil the
soluble plant food contained in the man
ure end hold it ready for use for subse
quent crops. The straw and litter con
tanned in the manure not soluble will form

she applies sll her fertilizers on the sur
face. Ia her forests she spreads a cover
ing of leaves and twigs over her soil to
protect it daring winter against the beat

leaves on the surface to decay for the same
purpose.
