on March 24th-four days in
transit
About z o'clock on the evening
of the 18th inst. while the people
of this locality we're gayly gath
ering for the ST. Patrick day
festivities in Custer, there sud
denly came the news of a sad
and fatal tragedy in the Lucky
Boy mine, for it was telephoned
from Custer hill that James Car
ley, the noted pioneer and one of
the best known citizens of this
locality, had been instantly killed
by an accidental fall of $50 feet
down the Lucky Boy shaft.
There was commotion in camp
"a sudden gloom was cast on the
celebration and the big dance to
have been held at Miners Union
hall was declared off. The body
of the dead pioneer was brought
down and placed to repose in the
hall, surrounded by a death
watch of comrades.
An inquest was held next day
before Justice j. F. Davis, and
the six jurors gave verdict of
accidental death.
On the 10Th the remains were
laid to rest in the cemetery at
Bonanza, two miles below Custer,
the larger portion of the popula-
ton of this locality being in at
tendance at the funeral, which
was under the auspices of Custer
lodge of the Western Federation
of Miners, of which deceased
was an honored member. The
services at the Union hall were
conducted by Senator Macbeth,
and Hon. George B. Baldwin paid
an appropriate tribute to the
dead pioneer, whom he had
known for 90 years. President
VIM. Bowen of the Miners Union
conducted the services at the
grave and read the Federation
funeral services. The comrades
cast sprigs of evergreen upon
coffin and the earth was then
closed above it while the mourn
ers and comrades sorrowfully
DEPARTED.
James Carley was born in
North Carolina some SO years
ago, and crossed the plains when

time a pony express rider through
Humboldt valley amid hostile
tribes of Indians. He came to
Idaho in, the sixties and settled
on Camas Prairie, where he was
married to Miss Emma Wilmett,
and his elder children were born.
AT the time of the Nez Perez
Indian outbreak he was chosen
Lieutenant of the Volunteers. At
the battle of Cottonwood he saw
ed the command from ambuscade,
and, the Captain being killed, he
with 18 men continued the fight,
killing 26 savages and putting
the remaining 100 to fight. For
his gallant services he was soon
afterwards commissioned Cap
tain by Gov. Brayman.
James Carley and family had
resided in Custer Il years. The
family which he leaves consists
of his wife and 9 children sons
and 3 daughters, viz James,
Albert, Grover, Elmer, Edward,
Oscar, Clifford and Mrs. H. B.
Jarvis, now of Salt Lake, and a
younger daughter, Lena, married
to Wells MCGOWAN of Custer, but
