Lost His Brother.

Herbert A. Kirkpatrick, the we'll
known operator of Electra, returned
from San Francisco Thursday even
ing. Mr. Kirkpatrick was at Electra
at the time of the earthquake, and
left here to seek for his brother,
Gerald, who was reported missing.
His remains were found the sixth day
after the disaster. Gerald was an
electrician, twenty years of age. His
death was due to the collapsing of
the building he was working in on
the morning of the eighteenth. He
was on night shift, which accounted
for his being there at that hour. The
funeral took place at Redwood City.
Mr. Kirkpatrick states that the death
list is much Iongerthan is thought by
people on the outside. He states that

Death of Mrs. G. w. Humphreys.

The tragic death OF Mrs George
Humphreys, which occurred in Oak
land, April 81 1906, where she had
recently gone to reside, cast a gloom
over the entire community where the
most of her life was spent. On the
evening of her death, Ettie, as she was
known by all her friends, was accom-
panying friend to East Oakland that
they might obtain pass to San Fran
cisco, to locate relatives who had lost
their homes during the disatser, but
as she neared her destination she rose
from her seat on the outside of the
car while in motion, and was thrown
to the sidewalk, striking her head on
the pavement, which resulted in
almost instant death. Friends quick
ly gathered and all that loving hands
could do was of no avail, they could
not stay the hand of death.
The deceased, whose maiden name
was Ettie Russell, was born February
21, 1870, in the state of Ohio, being
at the time of her death aged SO years
2 months. Her parents came to Call
fornia during her infancy, settling
for awhile near Buena Vista, but soon
moved to Chico, where they resided
until the death of her mother, which
occurred in the year of 1880, after
which the family returned to Buena
Vista. Ettie, then a child of nine
years, was taken into the home of Mrs
VIM. Cook, where she lived several
years, but later found a new home
with Mr. and Mrs j. z. Norris, where
she lived until her marriage to the
latter's brother in the year 1890. The
most of her married life as we'll a
her girlhood days was spent neaI
Buena Vista. She leaves a hus band,
George Humphreys, and two boys,
Miles and Jimmie, aged fourteen and
twelve years respectively; a father
David Russell, and five sisters, Mr.
Ella Boydson of Oakland, Mrs Carrie
Petty of Lodi, Mrs Ina Richey o!
Merced, Mrs Aida Jackland and Mary
Russell of British Columbia. Mrs
Humphreys was a noble woman,
always ready and willing to lend a
helping hand to those in need, and
loving mother, her first thought being
of her boys.

The angel of death visited our little

Albert Pigeon was the third son of

loved son and brother, having spent
his eutire life at home, and devoting
his time to the prosperity and happi-

On Sunday morning he arose as
usual, but complained of being ill.

Where he no longer needs our pool

He lives, whom we call dead.

Runaway Accident.

Last Friday evening at abont SIX
O'Clock Jack Weddel, who is employ
ed at the Kennedy mine had an
accident that might have resulted
seriously, but fortunately did not.
MIR Weddel, his wife and daughter,
were going from the Kennedy mine to
their home near Sutter Creek. They
were riding in single rig, and when
opposite the rock crusher the horse
took fright, and became unmanage-
able. When he did come to a stop it
was against telephone pole. The
shock threw the occupants out. Mr.
Weddel suffered the most, being
bruised very badly. At first it was
thought he had some ribs broken, but
upon examination it was found not
so. Mrs WeddeI and daughters in
Juries consisted of numerous bruises
and severe shaking up. All are on
the road to recovery, and glad it was
no worse. Mr. Weddel is brother
in-Iaw of Ben Gilbert of jackson.
Numerous complaints have been
made in regard to the rock crusher.

The Jackson Social and Athletic
Club presented four act drama in
Loves hall on Saturday evening, May
5th. The play is entitled The Woven
Wed, and the performance was post
poned from April 2lst to the above
named date, on account of the fire
disaster in the city. The performers
were most amateurs new to the stage
business, and considering this fact
they did fairly we'll. The attendance
was not as large as it would have
been had the general feeling of gloom
and sadness incident to the great
calamity to the state, not been still
uppermost III the public mind. Many
came from the outside to witness the
performance. The cast of characters
was as follows:
