DEATH OF JUDGE BANTZ.

News of the death of Judge
Gideon ID. Bantz of Silver City.
which reached Hillsboro early this
week, occasioned much sorrow
mong all classes of our citizens.
Judge Bantz was generally known
and very popular throughout Sierra
count,, having been judge of our
district court under tbs Cleveland
administration. The following &C.
count of his death and history is
taken from the Silver City indie
pendent:
"The people OF this community
were shocked Sunday morning
when the sad news became known
that Judge Gideon d. Bantz had
suddenly passed away.
His death was altogether unex-
pected. He had been confined to
his home since last Monday even
ing but his ailment WAS only re-
garded as slight and he was sup
posed to be regainlng his usual
health. The serious character of
his illness did not manifest itself
until within a few hours of the end.
Shortly before midnight his con-
dition became such that it became
apparent that his life was slowly
ebhing. He fingered until 6
O'Clock Sunday morning and then
passed away, as If in gentle sIum-
Der. he realized that his hours
we're numbered and for a time
made brave fight to live, remark
ing to his family and friends that
"the old ship may sink, but we will
do all we can to save her." Later
he said that the struggle was use
less and told them that he could
not last much longer. The imme-
diate cause of his death WAS per
foration of the bowels. He died as
he had lived "a brave, fearless
man, contented IN the knowledge
that he had never failed to perform
his tull duty toward bis fellowmen.
Gideon ID. Bantz WAS born in
st Louis, Mo, on the 10Th day ~
September, 1854, and was conse-
quently in tie 44th year of his age.
He was decended from Germ an
ancestors who in 1919 left { o

French astronomer, has been enabled
to estimate the relative values of thu
different rays. Four hothouses, of red,
green, blue and ordinary glass, were
built, and vegetables of the same spe-

Her commander is Capt. NicOl Ludlow.
The constructors are of the opinion
that the accident was not very severe
or extensive. They believe the pune
lures in the bottom were confined to
the outer skin and did not penetrate
the inner double bottom. Otherwise,
they reason, the ship could not have
made the dry dock. before sinking. The
accident recalls several others OF
similar character in the vicinity which
have given rise to the grim naval joke
that there is floating rock adritt

that the damage wrought was consld-
