Death Of Jesse r. Clam.

This community was greatly sur
prised yesterday morning to learn
that Jesse f. CLAIM had passed
away at the Commercial Hotel soon
after 6 o'clock. Mr.. CLAIM was one
of the oldest residents on the East
Walker River. He was a native of
Orange county, New York, and
came to Nevada in 1861, and in 1866
he located in Pinegrove with his
wife, who taught the first school es-
tablished in that camp. Later Mr..
CLAIM went into the ranching bust
ness on the East Walker River, and
followed that occupation until about
three years ago, when he leased his
ranch and moved to San Jose to re-
side. About the first of last month
Mr.. CLAIM came up from his Califor-
mia home for the purpose of arrang-
ing to sell his Walker River ranch.
Although Mr.. CLAIM was 76 years of
aged he seemed to be in the best of
health. Last Monday he started to
go up to his ranch, but when arriv-
ing at Plummer's place he was taxi
en- ill, and returned to Yerington the
next day. The physician who was
Immediately summoned found Mr..
Glann suffering 1IOih ASHAOA mag Z
of the stomach and bowels, and con-
sequently bleeding to death internal
ly. All that could be done to save
Mr.. CLAIMS life was done, but the
end came yesterday morning. Mrs.
CLAIM, who is in San Jose, was i'm
mediately notified of her husbands
death and replied that she would be
here today if possible. The funeral
will probably take place today after
she arrives.

BY ChamberIsla's Cough Remedy.

Mr.. H. p. Burbage, a student at

consumption" Mr.. Burbage, having
seen Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
advertised, concluded to try it. Now
read what he says of it: 81 soon felt
a remarkable change and after using
two bottles OF the twenty-five cent

Accident on c. & c.

Last Saturday afternoon after the
train from the south had reached
the Mound House with quite heavy
train of cattle, shipped from Wa
buska, the crew started to return to
Wabuska for several more carloads
of cattle. At a point just this side
of New Jerusalem, and while run
ming at rapid rate, the train struck
one of Dick Randalls cows which
were on the track, ditching the
whole train-engine, four cars and
coach. The train was backing up
and the accident occurred about 9
o'clock in the evening. The wreck
was pretty bad one, and it took
the wrecking train from Hawthorne
from four O'clock Sunday morning
until one o'clock that afternoon to
get the track in shape so trains
could pass. Nobody was injured in
the accident.

500 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is Catsrrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have 50
much faith in it's curative powers,
that they offer one Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

Splrited SCrap.

Last Friday evening quite lively
little rumpus occurred in the saloon
at Wellington. In game OF "Big
Injun" a stranger named Morgan
borrowed some money from Billy
Dunbar, the stage driver. After a
time dispute arose as to the amount
OF money Morgan owed Dunbar, and
the former hit the latter a punch in
the face and ran out of the house. Al
Cummings followed Morgan and
soaked him for hitting a smaller
man. AS a result of the affair Dun
bar had a pair of black eyes, Cum
mings sprained finger, caused by
being too heavy a hitter, and Nor
gan, or whatever his name may be,
looked as though he had run against
a buzz saw.

My big sister is only human and
likes to have good time as we'll
as the other girls, and the same as

sometimes if my big sister tries to
have a good time with the young

Wickerburg as a Heath Resort

Frank Zann, the we'll known
manufacturer of wooden and will
low ware, who has large factories
in San Francisco and Melbourne,
Australia, returned here Tuesday
morning, after a short stay at Pres
cott. Mr.. Zann has been very sue
cessful in business, probably more
so than the average, but continued
application born of an ambitious
nature forced him to give up active
business work for health. He Wis
tied the usual list of health resorts
and landed at Phoenix. One day
Foreman Margueritch saw his
name among the hotel arrivals:
and by the name knew him to be a
Slavonian, as is Mr.. Margueritch.
He made him q visit on his next
Phoenix trip and advised the cool
air and pure water of Wickenburg,
with the result that he came here
as q last resort. Though he was
greatly improved here, he wanted
to try Prescott, with the above re-
suit. Mr.. Zann is a very pleasant
conyersationalist and expresses a
strong liking for Arizona and the
manner OF her people. He Left
Thursday for Gilbert to rough it in

THE .ALVORD-STILES TALK

In regent issue of our very
highly esteemed contemporary, the
krizona Republican, appeared a
l4ngthy article on the injustice
dhich United States District Attor-
Iey Nave is doing Stiles and AL
Word The Republican tries to put
up two faces in one article and
goes on at a great rate The writer
of that editorial claims that OUT
LAWS of this character do not dis
very closely between the
United States Court and the Terri
Orial courts. Now, how can the
Republican man essay to all Of
hese alleged facts. Men who have
ton through all of the experiences
Il these two admitted outlaws, are
Dot so foolish as to presume that
here is no other law except Terri
orial law. They know more about
criminal law than the editor of the
Republican does. The most that
can come of the prosecution of
these criminals is to. send them for
q short term to the pen" at
Yuma, They have received all OF
the consideration that they are en-
titled to for their treachery in be-
trayipg Chacon. They are, of
course, very much obliged to the
Republican for the aid and COM
fort that It is extending to them.
All of their sympathizers will also
appreciate fully the remarks Of the
Republican. 1t all reminds us of
the cid saying, Birds OF feather
flock together" and folks of the
same tendencies help each other.
