FINAL REST.
Death Suddenly Summons Jackson
Ferguson Thanksgiving
Evening.
Evening.

Death came to the home Of Jackson
Ferguson about half past seven O'Clock
last evening and summoned the hus-
band and father. 1t was entirely I'M
expected as the old gentleman was
about town yesterday and never looked
better as to condition of his health.
He responded in CHEEKY, hearty vein to
holiday greetings and participated with
usual zest in following out the customs
of the day.
He was at his home. at the hour
when called. In his usual place In the
family circle. and no thought came to
him or his that such Visitor would step
in to mar an otherwise perfect day. He
arose from his seat to step across the
room when he staggered and fell. Low
ing hands placed him on the bed and
when he opened his eyes his wife told
him he had tainted. He answered
yes and in a moment after his soul had
left It's mortal casket.
The cause Of death in all likelihood
was heart disease, and he had nearly
reached the time allotted to men in
this world.
Jackron Ferguson was born in the
county of Cuyahoga. State Of Ohio,
September A. 1882. At the age Of six
years he accompanied his parents to
Indiana and later to Iowa. In 1854 he
left Iowa for California and mined in
Shasta and Trinity counties till 1858
when he returned to Iowa to stay three
years. In 1852 accompanied by his
family he again crossed the plains to
the Golden State. He located in So
noma county and engaged in farming,
stock-raising and real estate. In 1876
he disposed of his property In Sonama
county and removed to st Clair In
Churchill county. He held a number
of public positions of profit and trust
In Churchill. among them. serving a
term in the lower house of the State
Legislature. Several years ago he de-
cided to make his home In WadsWorth
and bought the residence he occupied
at the time of his death.
Jackson Ferguson was the father Of
four sons and two daughters; John B..
who died while a county commissioner
of Churchill; Ida. later Mrs. John
Woodruff, deceased; John Finley. Abe
and Henry. residents Of Churchill;
Emma. Mrs. Tom Holiday. residing
in Oregon; George, deceased. The
deceased children are all buried in the

Clair, Churchill county.
The date Of the funeral is uncertain
as we go to press. Sunday or Monday.
Mrs. Thomas Holiday. daughter. is
expected from Oregon and the time Of
her arrival cannot be placed just now.
The remains will be inferred alongside
those of the loved ones gone before-in

Charley White, the famous referee,
whose reputation as a fair and square
official is international.
The boxing game in the city of the
golden gate has gone from bad to worse
owing to the laundering of managers
and the unfair and often worse deci-
sionS of ''dxed' referees and frequently
the collision Of the fighters themselves
The better class of sporting men on
the Pacific coast came to the conclu-
sion that the fstic game there needed
some such men as Jim Kennedy to put it
on its feet again and make it as popu-
lar and profitable as in earlier days
when Frisco was the Mecca of fighters
the world over. When Kennedy was
the Frisco sports he wired back:
Can bring my own referee?'
Yes was the immediate answer
flashed back
With such a famous pair as Kennedy
and White at the head there is no rea-

lost confidence in the management Of
