drew pistol and shot the young
man in the right eye, killing him al
most instantly.

"A dispatch from San jose, Caliior-
MIA, yesterday, brought the sad news
of the death of Mrs. s. E. Plumb,
wife of W. I. Plumb of this county.
To those who did not know of her
inuess the news came as a shock.
Mrs. Plumb was born at Mineral
Point, Wisconsin, on the 25th OF
June, 1852. In 1853 her parents
moved to Nevada City, California,
where they resided until 1867, when
they removed to Belmont, Nye conn
ty, Nevada. Here she met Mr.Plumb,
whom she married on the 9th of
July, 1872. Since then she was a
resident Of this State until 1895,
when she removed to San Jose, Cali.

children the benefits of the normal

The deceased leaves four daught-

Beside the children. a devoted hus-
band, two sisters, Mrs. Grant of Salt
Lake City, Utah, ard Mrs. Ella Har-
ris OF Mountain City, this county and
one brother, John, are left to mourn
her loss.
Mrs. Plumb was a devoted wife and
mother. Her heaven was her home.

sacrifice was too great for her to
make for them. To her friends and
acquaintances she was kind and for

from her eyes and her warm heart is
still, her loved ones mourn and re-.

cries that cling around the wife,
mother, aud sister tighten the sorrow
OF those who mourn.
Beside her immediate relatives the
deceased had large circle of friends
in this county who sympathize with
the family in their bereavement.
The funeral Will take place in San

Hon. VIM. j. Bryan passed east this
morning. He was met on the plat

Mr.. Bryan spoke pleasantly to all and

OF the outlook for the party through
out the country and he replied that
the PROJECTS were bright and grow
ing brighter every day. He said the
Democrats had a slendid chance to
elect Mclean in Ohio. and that if
they carried the State by a good big
majority it would have strong ten
dency toward eliminating Mckinley
from the Presidential contest in 1900.
Regarding the situation in New
York Mr.. Bryan said that if delega-
ton WAS not sent from there in favor
of the Chicago platform, it would at
least be one that would support the
ticket nominated.
He said hef ound strong sentiment
against expansion in california though
merchants generally favored it. This
was because they were making mon
ey out of the war. Imperialism, he
said, would be the hot issue in the
campaign of 1900, though silver and
trusts, would be brought prominent.

teachers. When that gentleman
occupied the position Of county

salary nearly five times as great
as these teachers, he did not phil
anthropically return half the salary
to the county, as being in excess
of the amount he earned. He was
not reformer to any great extent
at that time. He did not think
from $4,000 to $4,000 was an ex.
cessive salary for him, yet he could
not have sold his commercial abil>

a third of that sum. Men to be

about 10 o'clock this morning.
Mrs. Brown and her father went TO
room No. 9 and knocked at the door. Al
ter waiting 80 minutes he came cut and
locked the door behind him. Mrs. Brown
asked him for some papers which he had
agreed to give her on the previous day.
He gave her some sarcastic answer and
turned around, AS he turned she drew
a pistol and shot him in the back of the
neck.
Brown lived about 80 minutes but was
unconscious after the shooting. He was
picked up and carried into an adjoining
room. DIR. Armstrong was called and
made an examination, but found it i'm
possible to do anything for the man.
Mrs. Brown gave herself up immediate
ly after the shooting occurred and is now
in the city Jail. She has the sympathy of
