Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1898-01-08

Word reached here this week of
the death of Geo. w. Shaw, at his
home in Haywards, Cal. Mr.. Shaw
died on the Sd instant, of hem
orrhage of the lungs. He had been
ill for some time past, and was con-
fined to his bed for nearly three
weeks before he died. At the time
OF his death Mr.. Shaw was aged 81
years and 10 months. He was a
native of Cookstown, PENN, and
came to this coast in 1860. After
short stay in California he came to
Nevada and located in Dayton, or
Silver City. He was the second
Sheriff Lyon county had, being
elected to that office in 1868 and
serving for twelve years. He was
an able and fearless officer, and it
took just that kind of a man to fill
the position in those days. Mr..
Shaw also served two years as Treas
urer Of Lyon county. He married,
in the early eos Miss Lucy Mark
well, daughter of A. J. Maxwell, of
this place, and three children were
the result of the union, two Of
whom, Mrs. Ruel Lothrop, and Lew
Shaw, both residing here, he leaves
to mourn his loss. His first wife
died in 1872. Later on Mr.. Shaw
moved to Sutro, and engaged in the
saloon business. There he married
again, and when that camp went
down he returned to Dayton and
engaged in business. About thirteen
years ago he moved to Haywards,
Cal, and has resided there since,
with his wife. He was a member
of the Silver City Masonic Lodge,
and leaves hosts of old time friends
in Nevada to mourn his loss. His
funeral took place from his home in
Haywards on Wednesday of this
week, and all that now remains of
a fearless officer, generous, kind
and honest man, lies beneath the
sod. May his soul rest in peace.

Joseph Douglass, of Virginia
City, placed an attachment on the
Peck concentrating machinery in
the Douglass mill at this place,
last Wednesday. The attachment
is for $44,185.35, alleged to be due
Mr.. Douglass for money loaned c.
V. Peck to repair the mill and put
machines in it to work the Doug
lass and other tailings. c. V. Peck
left here about two months ago,
and the mill has been idle since,
ostensibly on account of broken
wheel, which rumor says was bro
ken on purpose. 1t was reported
that the mill would be started up
this week. but instead orders came
to send certain parts of the ma
chinery below. When this was
learned Douglass probably thought
it was time to try and get some of
his money back or something for
it. The property is now in the
hands of the Sheriff, with Hender-
son and Greenwood as watchmen.
