FATAL ACCIDENT.
Charley Holland Killed by a Ball
from a Rifle "That Wasn't
Loaded"
ttrom our Cherry correspondent)

(From our Cherry Correspondent)
On Sunday morning happy family
was thrown into ineXpressible grief
without moments warning. Mr.. Jas.
hills some six miles south of Schell-
bourne. had been at work several days
with some members of his family on a
ranch still farther south near Duck
Creek. and, having finished his potato
digging, was on the eve of returning to
his home ranch with his son and daugh-
ter. The wagon was loaded with pota-
toes, bedding and tools. The boy and
girl sat in the rear of the wagon, while
the father was in front with the lines in
his hand; when in an instant, without
any apparent cause, Il rifle which was
placed in the wagon with the muzzle
pointed toward the children, exploded,
sending the fatal bullet through show
el into the body oil the unfortunate boy
and cutting through the clothes and
blackening the face OF the girl. Mr..
Holland, almost paralyzed, yet had
presence of mind to examine tho boy
and found hole in the left side below
the heart from which the blood was
rapidly flowing. Failing to staunch the
blood with his fingers, he ut once hur-
ried off 30 Henry Jones for help, but
the boy liel in about an hour an d Il
quarter, apparently without any pain.
Mr. Holland supposed the gun was not
loaded-another instance of supposed
unloaded guns taking valuable lives,
The son was named Charles and was 4
good, faithful. obcdient lad about thir-
teen wears Of age. a hoy beloved by all
who knew him.
On Tuesday a long procession of
friends and neighbors wended their way
70 Cherry Creek where the mortal re-
maipa of the unfortunate boy were COM
nitted TO mother earth. The Roman
Catholic service was performed by Mr..
p, H. Cannon. The sympathy OF the
entire community goes out to Mr.. and
Mrs. Holland in their sad affliction,
Mrs. Holland was so stricken with grief
that she was unable to leave town.
They desire to publicly thank
their friends for the kindness and SYM
pathy shown them in their trouble.

PAYMENT MADE ON THE RO-
BUST BOND.

The report of Messrs. Chase and
Davis, who were here some two weeks
ago, Investigating the Robust mine,
was sufficiently favorable to warrant
the prospective purchasers in Salt Lake
City in accepting the bond on the prop.
erty and making the first payment.
The checks were received the first OF
the week by p. c. Weber, who has
been experimenting the deal for the
owners. The sum IL small but consid.
ering the undevcloped condition of the
property is sufficient to guarantee the
good faith Of the parties in making
more thorough investigation. Messrs.
Chase and Davis have already returned
and have men at work strengthening up
the old shaft so that Thorough and
systematic sampling of the ore can be
made. If the result 10 satisfactory and
the weather remains favorable, some
thing win yet be done this fall towards
with the cyanide process
on considerable scale. Mr. Weber
has shown energy and skill in attract
ing capital from new field to the camp
and he feels confident that, II this deal
is a success, he can dispose of other prop
critics that have been lying idle here
for years awaiting purchaser.

A FRIEND.

The following remarks wore made ut
the grave by A. c. Cleveland:
kind friends and neighbors, We have
met here to-day for the purpose of con-
signing to the silent grave the remains
of our much esteemed friend and neigh
Dor, Jacob Cameron, who, for many
years. has resided among lis and is
well known to us ALL and | know that
you will all bear witness, when | say, a
better, or more generous man, never
lived: so much so, that have oft heard
it said he was generous to a fault.
Would to God that more of us possessed
that same attribute; no one is perfect.
| wish | had as few faults as our depart
ed friend. He was as true as the needle
to the pole. No hope of reward or fear
of consequences, added to, Or diminish
ed, his devotion to his friends. Just
generous, brave and kind-every i'm
pulse of his noble nature was generous
one. He had built his home among lis
and had reared his children here. He
was widely known and universally re-
spected and he will be much missed by
you all; but outside of his own family he
will not be more sincerely mourned by
any one, than myself, and no one will
miss him half as much.
No one was ever turned away hungry
from his door, the latch string to his
humble abode was always on the out
side. He was one of Natures noble
men: no one knew him as we'll did; no
one could appreciate him more. When
we were mere boys-yet in our teens;
forty years ago next January, We sailed
out of New York harbor on the same
ship, The Star of the West, which
later cut quite a figure in American
history, receiving the first shot fired in
the great war that followed. We have
been thrown much together since and
for more than a quarter of a century
we have been the most intimate and de-
voted friends, and it is great salts.
fation to me to be able to truthfully say,
that not once during all these years;
not even by look, word or deed. has
that friendship been marred.
We consign his remains to the silent
grave but we do not bury his memory,
that will live SO long as thought with US
is dear. Far away from the land OF his
nativity and the scenes of his childhood
his body will return to dust from whence
it came and mingle with American soil,
and it is fitting that it should be so, for
he was an American in the broadest
sense of the term. l sincerely hope
that when it shall please God of uni
versal nature to take lis to himself that,
like our departed friend, there will be
few to mingle their tears at our grave
and some one to speak few kinds
Of us. And now loving husband, indul-
gent father, true friend, kind neigh
hor. farewell"

Many of our citizens are losing their
dogs by poisoning. 1t is conjectured
that it is the work of the thieves in
town who are robbing hen-roosts, bur-
glarizing houses and plundering gener-

mittee to run certain parties out OF town.
Great sympathy is felt here among
the friends of the late Jacob Cameron
OF Spring valley. The writer knew
him for over quarter of century and
in his death his family lose a kind and
loving husband and father whose men,
DRY will be always dear. May He who
tempers the wind to the shorne lamb be
a father to the fatherless and "A husband

One of our rising and popular young
men, Henry Phalen, surprised his
friends on Monday by returning from
Eureka full-phledged married man,
having taken during his absence
blooming bride in the person of Miss
Flora Lane of Eureka. Henry received
the congratulations of his many friends,
having secured a lady who only has to
be seen to be appreciated, We heartily
welcome Mrs. Phalan to our commun-
ity, and hope in due course of time to
have more Phalans among us.--They
are good people.

ELECTION RETURNS TELE-
PHONBD FROM EUREKA.

The result of the eastern elections
was received here last Thursday by
telephone from Eureka. The Demo-
Gratis carried New York City by 5000
majority; an overwhelming vote for
Van Wyck, the Tammany candidate.
Mark Hanna was defeated in Ohio, as
the Legislature will have majority of
seven silver men. Gov. Bushnell, Rep.
was elected, however. Iowa and Mary
land went Republican, while Nebraska
went for the Democratic and Populist
fusion ticket. Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania went Republican as usual, but
by much smaller majorities. The re-
suit in Colorado and Kentucky are still
in doubt but they are unimportant,
only one minor official to be elected in
each and full vote will probably not
be polled.

A PROMINENT WHITE PINER
PASSES AWAY.
Jacob Cameron Dies at His Home
in Spring Valley, on the Morn
ing OF the 2Sth ult.

AT Muncy, on the morning OF Octo-
ber 2Sth, when the hands of the clock
pointed to the hour of $50 the grim
monster-death, with silent tread en-
tered the residence of our friend and
fellow citizen, Jacob Cameron, and with
remorseless scythe severed the rush
light of his earthly existence and he
quietly and peacefully passed to that
region of which man knoweth not.
Mr.. Cameron was man of sterling
worth; of firm convictions; an unswer-
wing friend, true to principle, and al
ways ready to meet public o. private
issue half way. He was s'man OF kind
and generous impulse, and no person
ever left his roof with hunger's pangs
to distress him. He came to Nevada
early in 1860 and to White Pine county
in 1869 and resided in this County con-
stantly up TO the day OF his death. He
was born in Germany and was 81 years
of age, and, as an old time friend says,
"a truer friend or better hearted man
never lived
He leaves an amiable wife and four
children to mourn his death, and heart
felt sympathy and coincidence are the
only solace their many friends and
neighbors have to offer them in their

3lst.
