FROZEN TO DEATH.
Ton Mottoa Falls Into the Rock Point Ditcl
aad is frozen to Death.

owU - sEvkUW " Vootm
Tuesday afternoon Tom Motion
and Nick Feazey arrived here from
Gold Hill on their way to Mason
Valley, where they expected to Sc
cure work in the Bluestone copper
mine. The men expected to stay in
Dayton Tuesday night and take the
train for Wabuska Wednesday
morning. After arriving here the
men visited several saloons, and by
six o'clock Motion was in bad state
of intoxication. Feazey tried to get
Motion to go to supper, but he re-
fused, and sat down in chair in
the Odeon Saloon and went to sleep.
Between seven and eight o'clock
Motion left the Odeon and went
down Pike street. This is the last
that was seen of him alive. Feazey
hunted for him until twelve o'clock
that night without finding him and
finally concluded that he had gone
to bed somewhere or had returned
to Gold Hill.
Wednesday morning, about nine
o'clock, A. G.. Berry, who lives at
the lower end of Pike Street, came
up town and notified the authorities
that he had found the body of a dead
man lying on the bank OF the Rock
Point ditch near the slaughterhouse.
The body was found to be that of
Motion, and it was frozen perfectly
stiff. A Coroner's jury was imne-
diately summoned and an inquest
held, at which it was learned that
on Tuesday night, between halfpast
seven and eight o'clock, Mrs. cara
and A. G. Berry, whose residences
are near the slaughterhouse, heard
cries tor help. Mr.. Berry secured a
lantern and, in company with an
Italian, searched up and down the
ditch for some time without being
able to see any person or hear any
further sound. He went home and
went to bed. The next morning he
made further search and found the
body OF Motion lying in a depression
in the ground on the side of the
ditch. The Jury's verdict was that
Motion came to his death by expos
ure, the result of his own carless-
| ness.
The supposition is that Motion. in
his befuddled condition, wondered
off towards the slaughterhouse and
fell from the narrow bridge that
crosses the ditch near that point.
He had crawled out of the ditch, but
after giving two or three shouts for
help, had probably become so numb
that he could make no further effort.
Tom Motion was native of Corn
wall, aged about AZ years. He had
lived on the Comstock for many
years, and was a miner. He leaves
a mother residing in Gold Hill, also
sister, Mrs. w. H. Sandercock, a
resident of the same place.
Undertaken Kuhn took the body to
Virginia City Wednesday after
noon.

.DROUTH is BROKEN
Heavy Rain Began Falling
This Morning.
PLENTY OF WINTER FOOD
Stock Was Beginning to Suf-
fer for Wafer

At twenty-three and one-half minutes
after z o'clock rain began falling. At
first only a few drops fell but about
twenty minutes of o'clock it began fall
ing in earnest. It was a regular summer
thunder storm and the way the rain fell
was caution It was not local storm.
but a general rain that extended ali over
southern Kansas.
Early IN the evening the black clouds
began rolling up from the south and
prophets in the Eagle ONCE said that
they were nothing but dry weather clouds
but they were slightly mistaken. Nearly
an inch Of rain fell in an hour and It did
not come in gusts with a heavy wind, but
fell in 2. steady doWnpour. II was the
kind OF rain that soaks into the ground
as it falls.
The rain came TOO late TO save the early
corn. but the greater part of the late
corn viii make a fair crop. The pas
lures were as dry as a bone, but now
they will come up with a new growth
which viii be almost as good as that
which comes in the early spring. The cat
tie have not suffered from feed, but they
have fallen of IN flesh and the dairy men
say that their COWS have fallen of in
their milk nearly forty per cent The
crop of forage plants for winter feed
has not suffered much, but If the rain
had not arrived at this time, the sup
ply Of winter feed for stock would have
been materially reduced. great many
of the farmers were talking Of feeding
straw to their stock on account OF
lack Of other feed. The cain and kaf1ir
corn has not grown an inch for the last
three weeks, but It will grow so fast
from now on that person with good
ears could almost hear it pop. Two good
crops OF alfalfa have already been har-
vested, but the stuff has not grown much
for the past two weeks and a great many
farmers have been compelled 70 pasture
their alfalfa because their pastures gave
out. This rain insures at least one more
good crop and possibly two. The hay
crop, aside from alfalfa, will be rather
light because the grass has dried up and
a large number OF the farmers have
cut their hay.
In some places where the stoczmen
have to depend on the creeks for
their water supply for their stock, the
cattle and sheep were suffering for water
Many of the men dug great holes in the
creek bottoms and found water. There

LOOKS ARE DECEPTIVE.
Tax Receiver Knows Fine Feathers
Don't Always Make Fine Birds.

y
The Receiver of Tax Returns is one
man who knows that appearances
don't count for everything, and that
the man who is not the best dressed
may be of much more value to the
county, from a financial standpoint,
than the better dressed man who walks
into the office with a bold front. Very
often it happens that the man with
the more costly raiment is only worth
a dollar to the county. and the less
ostentious individual is worth many
more.
Mr.. Marcus Baker, receiver for Chat
ham county, has been surprised sew
eral times since his book has been
open to the public, and has now reach
ed that point where nothing amazes
him. If a driver of a trash wagon
should enter the receivers office and
announce that he wished to make re,
turns for several thousand dollars
worth of property, it is doubtful If the
expression on Mr.. Bakers face would
change.
The surprises came to Mr.. Baker
when his books were first opened, and
then it was that he discovered the
world to be made up of some strange
people. The first shock the receiver eX-
perienced was when a Hebrew ped
dler entered his Office. The man an
nounced that he wanted to make his
tax returns and Mr. Baker thought 1t
superfuous to ask If he meant his poll
return. The receiver filed out a
blank for the applicant, and entered
the one dollar tax that every male
citizen, over 81 years of age, is re-
quired to pay. His breath was al
most taken away when the shoddy
looking man marked opposite the
words valuation of real estate, if
any," $4,000.
AS a piece of pleasantly he suggest
ed to the property owner that he
would soon be able to retire. The man
only grinned and with a knowing wink,
which looked like a mute Its worth
more than that" left the office. On the
same day a suburban storekeeper with
a stock of goods valued at less than
a thousand dollars entered $4,000 as the
amount of cash he had on hand not
invested. 1t is because of these two
taxpayers that Mr.. Baker does not
seem surprised now when even less
prosperous looking people make re-
turns for large amounts, and web
dressed and prosperous looking indi-
viduals return their heads
