Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Twin Bridges, Dec. 1.-The remains of
Mrs. Patrick Carney, who died last Mon
day in Rome, N. Y, We're brought to
Waterloo and placed in their last resting
place Friday in the Fish creek cemetery.
The services We're conducted by the Cath
Ollie priest of Dillon. A large number of
friends of the deceased lady attended
from Twin Bridges.
Mr.. Carney took his wife East several
weeks ago to undergo an operation for
cancer, with which she had been af-
f1icted the past year of her life. Advices
received here shortly after the operation
was performed led friends to believe the
lady would recover. Mr.. Carney felt con-
fident that she would rapidly regain
health, and he had about completed ar
engagements to start for home Monday,
but complications set in accompanied by
acute dropsy and Mrs Carney passed to
the great beyond Monday morning at
2:40 o'clock. The first announcement of
the sad event appeared in the Standard
and was a severe shock to Mr.. and Mrs.
Carney's friends here.
The deceased was born at Boston and
was 80 years Of age. She was united in
marriage to Hon. Patrick Carney, chair
man of the Madison county board Of COM
mssioners, on June 2, 1897. During her
two years residence at Waterloo she
made frequent visits to Twin Bridges and
won the respect and esteem Of a large
circle of acquaintances.
An accident occurred at the Sunbeam
mine on Indian creek which came very
near costing Herman Steiner his life. AS
1t is he is badly crippled and it will be
many day before he is able to follow
mining again.
Mr.. Steiner and his partner, Mr. Isaac
son, had been on shift but a short time
when the accident happened. They were
working in the bottom of 40-foot shaft
and felt perfectly safe. as new steel ca
BILE had been used only a few days. A
bucket of waste had been started up and
when about two-thirds Of the distance
the cable parted and the load fell back.
MI Steiner was working in a STOPPING po-
sition and the load-200 pounds-struck
him squarely on the back. His left leg
was broken, his hip sprained and other
injuries were sustained that are very
painful. Mr.. IsaacSon was more fortu-
nate. as he escaped without scratch.
The injured man was taken to the sur
face and by means of a sled was con-
veyed down the gulch until met by Su-
perintendent Pankey of the mine. who had
secured team from Tom Taylors ranch.
and who took him to Sheridan. The in
jures were attended to by DR.. Miller,
who placed the sufferer under the inf1u-
ence of ether.
Cashier A. J. Wlcomb of the Twin
Bridges bank is in receipt of a letter from
John Wilhart, who, with his family, left
this summer for a years travel. Mr..
Wilhart disposed of the Valley Park
ranch and thought he was entitled to
vacation after a continuous residence in
Madison county extending over a third
of a century. He writes from Santa Mon
lea, Cal. and says:
"I received your letter a few days. ago.
Was pleased to hear from you and family.
l am glad that the smelter got started up
all right and is running in good shape.
I have not seen any place that comes up
to Twin Bridges in enterprise. Portland
and San Francisco are very lively places;
they are great commercial ccnters, but
they do not come up to Chicago
This country has a fine climate for
winter. l have not seen any frost yet
The flowers are in full bloom and the
grass IS starting up nicely since the rain.
When VIC came here everything was
burnt up except such as had water by ir-
rigatinn. and water is very scarce where
] have been chat is, running water). l
have not seen much Of the farming coun-
try as yet. Of what I have seen some
was very good and some was so steep
cannot see how they run their machines
over it without upsetting. Their hay
looks like baled straw. l have not seen
any wild or timothy hay.
Santa Monica is a bathing resort. 1t
is reported as being very lively in the
summer, but it is very dull now. We
stayed one month at Berkeley: will stay
one month here and half of it is gone will
go to Los Angeles next month and will
leave here Dec T."
