Gold Galore.

H. B. Nye has returned from his mines
near Gold Hill, Jackson county, Or, and
has brought several specimens of quartz
exceedinly rich in free milling gold. He
informed Bee reporter that he had a
vein % feet wide of the same kind of
rock. If such is the case he has a
bonanza far richer than the famous In
dependence mine of Cripple Creek. Mr..
Nye also states that 5OOpounds of picked
rock yielded at the rate of $4,000 to the
ton, while TX tons of unassorted ore pro-
duced in clean cash the sum of $4,000.
The mine is situated about five miles
from Gold Hill in the Rogue river valley.
The specimens shown are all of the same
formation as the ore found in the Hidden
Treasure mine at Cowle's camp, Park
county, Mont, and if Mr.. Nye has any
we'll defined lead of it he can live on easy
street the balance of his life, wear dia-
monds for vest buttons and eat pie for
breakfast every morning.

A Narrow Escape.

As Levi Rail, who lives across the track
and another man were digging we'll on
his premises Monday, the windlass han
die broke while Mr.. Rail was descending
to the bottom in the bucket. When the
windlass broke the man was about thirty
feet from the bottom of the well and his
escape from death was marvellous. Mrs
Rail, who was standing by, saw the acct
dent and with great presence of mind
seized the rope and attempted to hold it,
which feat she was unable to perform,
the running rope burning her hands in a
terrible manner. Yet her attempt to
prevent the windlass from turning prob
ably saved her husbands life. Mr.. Rail
touched bottom suddenly, escaping with
only few bruises. He says his descent
was so rapid that he didn't have time to
realize his danger before the bucket and
himself brought up against the place
where the earth was too firm to be pene
trated,

Abused the Child.

There is lad about II years of age at
present domiciled in the county jail
named Johnny Volk, and from the story
learned from the officers and the tale he
tells himself, it is case which needs at
tention. The boys story is that his
father and step mother abused him
making him work beyond his strength
besides kicking and beating him. If his
story is true the boy should be given a
home with some kinder hearted people
or placed in some educational institu-
ton. The little fellow seems to be a
bright child, and with different surround
lngs would probably become a valuable
citizen when grown to mans estate. 1t
is a sad sight to see boy only IL years
old confined in Jail, where contact with
malefactors will tend to lead him into

GEORGE LAKIN,

Another of the pioneers who for several
weeks past has been at the hospital suf
fericg from heart trouble, died between
8 and 8 o'clock Wednesday morning
Mr.. Lakin had been passed beyond all
recovery for the past ten days, and his
death was no surprise to his many friends
He had been prominent man in Flat
head county for many years, having set
tied here in 1881.
George Lakin was born in Henry,
Henry county, Illinois, in 1874, and
moved with his parents to Oregon in
1852. His father settled upon the site
now occupied by Eugene City, Lane
county, Oregon, where the deceased
struggled with pioneer life until the
march of advancing civilization prompted
him to seek another frontier home.
He was typical frontiersman, and in
his early youth was among those young
and daring spirits who took part in the
Indian wars of that then young state.
He has lived to see the Indian tribes
which infested Oregon disappear and
large cities grow up in places where as a
boy he used to roam shooting wild game
and still wilder savages. He returned to
Oregon in 1885 and was married in 1886
to Miss Caroline Cowan, with whom he
returned to his home in Flathead county
where he has since lived continually.
His wife and two children, boy and
girl, survive him.
About year and half ago he was
taken i'll from heart trouble, since which
time he had been growing rapidly worse,
and for the past two weeks no hope was
entertained for his recovery.
Mrs. L. J. Parish, sister, who lives at
the lake, is the nearest surviving rela-
tive. w. j. Brennan and wife are cousins
of the deceased. His other relatives are
living in Oregon, near Eugene City, in
Lane county, Yoncalla and Drains Sta
ton, Douglas county, and some are re
siding near Albany, Linn county, in that
state.
The funeral transpired from the Pres
byterian church Thursday morning at
1880 o'clock, the services being con-
Quoted by Rev. Geo. McVey Fisher, who
was firm friend of the deceased while
in life, and the sermon was very i'm
pressive.

TWO OLD RESIDENTS GONE.
]. J. Kimmerly and George M. Lakin
Have Passed Over the Great
Divide.


It is with regret that the Bee is called
upon to chronicle the deaths of two of
Flathead county's pioneers, j. j. Kim
merly and George NJ. Lakin, both of
whom were among the first settlers in
the valley.
Tuesday afternoon between and
O'Clock the death summons came to Mr..
Kimmerly. From his Immediate family
it is learned that the deceased was born
in the state of New York, from which
state he moved with his parents to Nap
panee, Ontario, Canada, where he spent
the early days of childhood.
In 1876 December II, he married Miss
Mary Alderman, at Chrtham, Ontario,
Canada, by whom he had two daughters,
Maude and Alice, who, with their
mother, were with him at the time of his
death.
He had been a sufferer from tubercu-
losis for many years, having contracted
the germs of the disease while working
at his trade, that of gold and silver
platter, his first serious attack occurring
about ten years ago. He rallied, how
ever, and for time enjoyed fair health;
but about two years ago it became evil
dent that his life-work was nearly ended
and he gradually sunk beneath the in
roads of the disease until death released
him from his sufferings.
j. J. Kimmerly arrived in Flathead
county in August, 1882 and after look
ing over this portion of the county, de-
cided to settle near the Flatheads, about
two miles west of the present site of
Kalispell, having found the ideal spot
for cattle raising, with plenty of wild
grasses and abutting against the mount
aims, where extensive range could be had
without crowding any who might in af-
ter years settle along side of him.
Mrs. Kimmerly was the first white
woman to settle in the valley, accom-
panying her husband on the trip from
Detroit, Michigan, to Montana.
The funeral was held from the Episco-
pal church Thursday, the remains being
placed to rest in Demersville cemetery.
The exercises were conducted by the
Masonic fraternity, of which order the
deceased had been member for thirty
years. Grand Master Bose had charge
of the services. A large concourse of
people were in attendance; besides the
Masons the A. o. U. w. was represented,
he having been member of the organ
ization at the time of his death.

He said that the task of getting Sig
nora quiet had been delegated 20 him and
that he thought he had been successful
Some of the other men were with Harris

the room in which she slept. He heard a
noise outside the room door and Harris

to advance upon signora she fired, but the
witness threw up her arm and so defle ct
ed her aim that the bullet spent itself

as Harris continued to advance, and yet
again. The third bullet took effect.
The defendant was placed on the sta nd
to make a statement in her own behalf
She correberated the story told by Smalls
IN all essential particulars, stating that
Harris was advancing upon her with a
knife or some weapon she believed to be
a knife when she fired. When she got out

arrived and had surrendered willingly
when called upon to do So
The evidence had been concluded before
2 o'clock and Judge Faligant directed a
recess until in the afternoon. when the
arguments were made. In his ope ming ar
gument Solicitor General Osborne con-
tented himself with simple statement of
the principles of law upon which he
would rely.
The solicitor general was followed by
Messrs. Myrick ana Lester, for the de-
ments. Indeed, counsel for the defendant
made a hard fight from The beginning 90
the end of the case, but question the wit
nesses as they would and argue as they
did, they could net succeed in convincing
the jury that Smalls had told he truth.
His story depended too much upon the
existence of the knife he swOre Harris
held when he entered the woman's room,
and no knife has ever been found.
Mr.. Osborne made the concluding argu-
ment, summing up the evidence in his
usual fine style. He ridiculed the con-
tentions Of the defendants attorneys that
the knife had been made way with by
some friend of Harris. enforcing with ar
gument and illustration the weakness of
this statement.
Judge Falligant concluded his charge
to the jury shortly before O'Clock and
within less than half an hour a verdict
of guilty with the recommends ton for
punishment by mpr sonment in the PEN
itentiary for life, instead of the gallows,
was returned. Sentence was Immediately

1t is expected that there will be large
