AUOuI 1ooU I'VE DEOtneFS anu one SIS
ter of Uncle Ed. Herrick went to Cali
fornia. The following clipping handed
us by Scott Herrick tells of the loss
sustained by the lady, who is now
Mrs. w. G. Arnett. The lady will be
remembered by our old settlers as Ora
Herrick. The clipping is from Ses-
sion, California, newspaper:
" Last Saturday evening Mrs. w. e.
Arnett. who was busy in her garden
back of her residence, on the Squak
Valley road, in the upper edge of our
town, was surprised upon looking to-
ward the house to see the flames burst
ing from the roof. Hurrying to the
house she called for help and COM
menced to carry out the household be-
longings. In few moments, howev-
er, the flames drove her from the house
and by the time assistance arrived the
place was a seething mass of flames.
The hose cart was run out and hitched
to q delivery wagon, but was of no use
as the nearest plug to the fire was at
the postotfice and the hose was not
half long enough to reach the flames.
A bucket brigade was then formed and
the fire confined to the one house, al
though it took fast work to save the
adjacent buildings. The loss will fall
unusually heavy upon Mr.. Arnett as
he has spent considerable time and
money in making nice home and did
not carry any insurance. Everything
in the way of clothing and personal
belongings was burned. Mr.. Arnett
and his estimable FAMILY have the
sympathy of the entire community in
their loss"
The will of the late George M. Pull

Let us keep it before the people.
Hamp Jones was elected sheriff of Au-
dubon county by the voters of the
county. In the discharge of his Off
cial duties he has been obliged to do
things that he might not have done as
a private citizen. That makes it all
the stronger that he should be re-elect-
ed. He has been weighed in the bal
ance and not found wanting. He has
never let sentiment enter into any
thing of an official character, but has
always been guided by duty, and duty
alone. He has the backbone to go
anywhere after anyone-no matter
whether those persons were friends or
otherwise. A sheriff cannot be weak
kneed man, afraid to carry out the OBJ
legations of his oath of office, for fear
someone will ridicule him. Hamp
Jones is the man who has fulfilled ev-
cry requirement of the office to which
he was elected, and he is the man the
people want.

At Denver, Tuesday, a severe snow
storm and high wind from the north
began and continued all day, doing an
immense amount of damage in that
city and surrounding country, many
of the railways being completely block
ed with snow. At Cripple Creek the
storm was the most severe in years,
the canons being choked with snow
and it was impossible to see one humid
red feet on account of the binding
storm. In Nebraska and the Dakotas
the blizzard was equally severe and
the cattle men suffered great loss to
their herds.

plexion and predicted that he would not
last long.
But others had realized the grave nature
of the colon els trouble. DR.. Gardner, the
head surgeon OF the Southern Pacific
Company, had told Colonel Crocker six
weeks before he was stricken with paraly-
sis that he was affected with Bright's
disease and could not get well. But the
colonel was hopeful; he thought that any
danger wss in the distant future.
DR.. Gardner had advised the colonel TO
consult another physician, saying that
his duties as head surgeon of the railroad
com pa ny did not allow him to give to the
colonel the time and attention that his
case needed. Colonel Crocker accordingly
consulted DR.. Chismore.
According to DR.. Gardner there has
been no hope for the colonel's recovery,
and he would have died soon even had
he not been stricken with paralysis.
''If he had been free from the Brieht's
| disease said DR.. Gardner, "the paralysis
would not have been very serious. The
paralysis was not the cause of his death.
1t only hastened death which was caused
by the kidney trou bles.

been due to the inroads made by the

through this illness, not because | thought
L could do much for him, but because
Mrs. Easton insisted upon it, and also be-
cause l was a personal friend OF the
coloneps and thought it my duty to re-
main with him up to the last. The men,
bers OF the family have tried to remain
hopeful. The coloners brother, William
ii. Crocker, has been especially persistent
in hoping for the best. Even this (Thurs-
dav) morning he almost wanted me to say
that the colonels condition had improved,
when really he was worse"
A representative from an undertaking
firm of San Francisco arrived at San
Mateo this evening at 9:45 on a special
engine. When the engine left an hour
later it carried Drs. Gardner and Chis-
more 10 the City.
The final arrangements will not be de-
cided upon to-nigh ht. 1t was agreed that
it would be better for The immediate rela-

SAN MATEO CAL. July 17.-Colonel
Charles +. Crocker, vice. president of the
Southern Pacific Company. passed peace
fully away at his Uplands residence at 7:l5
o'clock tonight.
For Just eight days he had lain in his
cham ber critically ILL., at times seeming to
hold his own and again seeming to yield
slowly to the disease or diseases which
had their grasp upon him. Death re-
suited from Bright's disease with compli-
cations A week ago last night he was
stricken with paralysis of the right side,
and this the doctors say fastened the end.
The symptoms of paralysis, however, had
improved, and had it not been for the
Brights disease, the Colonel's chances of
recovery would have been good.
Last night the patient condition was
such that the doctors announced that the
colonel had a fighting chance for lie.
Through this morning he seemed TO hold
his owp, and the physicians ventured to
leave the house Tor some hours Drs.
Gardner an6 Chismore went up to the
city. Dr. Whitwell called at the hou e
about o'clock. and, although he saw then
that the end was approaching, he did not
expect the worst to come tor some time
He left the house, but was summoned
again about 2:30. marked change for the
worse having taken place
DIR, Gardner arrived on the train leaving
the city at $780, DR.. Chismore came
later, on the 80. DR.. Whitwell remained
several hours after arriving at Uplands at
2:30. After leaving he did not return
- v.yho ha n
that the colonel had passed away.
Templeton Croker, the 13-year-old son
of the colonel, was not present at Uplands
when his father died. He had gone to a
ball that was given this evening at the
Hotel Mateo, and was not witness to the
sad scene at the house.
The members of the Crocker family at
Uplands were at dinner when the fatal
crisis came and were Immediately sum-
moped to Colonel Crocker's bedside.
The end was apparently pa Mess. Col
sleep. Russell J. Wilson and Henry T.
Scott, who have been here since the
patient was first attacked, left the house
at Uplands only half hour before the
end came. Henry Scott and Russell Will
son were sitting down to dinner in SCOTS
house when the news was received.
When DR.. Chis m ore arrived on the $50
train he was met by Drs. Gardner and
WhitwelI who told him TO prepare for the
worst. DR.. Chismore realized at once on
seeing the patient that life could not last
long He was the last to surrender hope,
but he finally told the friends of the
colonel that the hours of life were few.
In the house when death came were two
of the three children of Colonel Crocker,
Mrs. E. C. Wright, Mr.. and Mrs. Will
Crocker, George Crocker, Mrs. Easton,
Miss Dunlap and Drs. Gardner and CHS
more. Only Drs. Gardner and Chismore
were actually present at the end.
As has been stated before in The CALL,

miners to come and dig it out.
