FATALLY HURT


UAHUA
Living on the trail between Gold
Center and Beatty with his skull frac-
tured and suffering from internal in
inries. w. s. Alexander, a veteran
Newspaper man, was discovered this
morning by a prospector. The injured
man was al once removed to the latter
camp where an operation was perform
"a in the hope of saving his life. The
efforts of the surgeons were of no
avail. however, and they that
his death is but a question OF hours
Mr.. Alexander left Beatty this morn
inc m horseback and the superstition
10 tbat the animal became frightened
and unseating, threw HIM. He was I'm
conscious when found and as all efforts
10 arose him arc without result he will
nrobably pass from a state of coma into
that sleep which knows no awakening.
Winfield Scott Alexander is about
60 years of age and has been engaged
in new spaper work since has early man
hood. He was a pioneer in the Grip
nile Creek district and had been en-
ragged there at various times as the
representative of the Denver dailies
and had also beer connected with the
reportorial stats of the local papers.
He was associated with Gene Field,
Rothaker and other of the bright minds
whose brilliant thoughts Illuminated
the pages of the Denver Tribune, and
later held the position of city editor
on the Denver Republican. He came
IN southern Nevada about the time of
the Bullfrog excitement and after &
short stay in Goldield removed to that
point where he has since resided. His
wife reslaes in Denver and has been
notified of her husbands precarious
condition.
There are many men in Goldfield who
know and love w. s. Alexander, and
the news of his dangerous condition
viii be read by them with sorrow.
"Alec,o the term by which he is en-
deared to his newspaper associates,
has no enemies and there is nc man
who knows him but calls him friend.
To the writer, and other former Colo
RADIO reporters in the camp, he is es-
teemed for his many sterling traits of
character, for his sturdy friendship,
tried and found true under adverse
conditions, and for his warmth of heart
and broad-minded m%anliness. The fact
that he lies close to the threshold of
death causes the tears to well unbidden
to the eye and the heart to tighten and
throb with grief. If it be the will Of
that divine arbiter of human destinies
that ssAlec" shall rest forever from
his labors, his friends petition the
throne of grace for that consideration
in the summing up of his faults and
virtues which he so charitably accord
Gu his fellowman.

place for the school children We all know that the banks and individuals

per cent, on Investments in this camp, but money invested in proper train

returns than the money interest. Who win be the first to I'M forward and
