John T. Pritchard Killed.

The dead body of John T. Pritchard
was found on bench in the shaft of
the Schaefer Treasure mine, last Tues.
day evening. Pritchard had been
hosting water from the mine and fail.
Ing to come to supper James Larkin
and Superintendent Santry went D to
the mine to ascertain the cause of the
mans absence. Not finding him on
top they went down the shaft and
found his tangled remains about two
hundred feet from the surface. Water
was hoisted from the shaft with skip
and as the skip was off the ways it Is
surmised that the old gentleman had
gone down to put it on the tracks
again and, losing his balance, had
fallen into the shaft. The shaft is on
an incline, with bench where the vein
fiattens out in number of places be.
tween the surface and the 3OO. level.
Pritchard had evidently fallen to the
first bench, distance of twenty. eight
feet and alighted on his head, as here
the first blood stains we're found.
From this point his body bounded off
to strike against the next projection
until it was caught on a bench 1888 feet
below the place where the skip was
found. His head was mashed to a
pulp and death must have been in
Simultaneous.
He was about sixty years Of age and
is said to have had family in Wales,
from whom he had been estranged for
years. He bad lived on the Comstock
in early days and belonged to Ma
sonic lodge at that place. In 1876 he
had trouble with Gold Hill constable
and in the quarrel that ensued the con.
stable, Humphry Symons, was killed.
For this crime Prichard was arrested
and came near being mobbed by the
friends of the dead officer, but he was
spirited away to Carson, where he was
tried and convicted of the crime.
Pritchard was we'll liked by his as.
sociates in White Hills and his awful
death is greatly deplored.
