Don't carry but small guam

"deplorable accidents" you read

Don't under any circumstances
allow your gun mu2zle to point
for one single moment at any
living thing you do not mean to
kill.
DON'T allow yourself 10 carry
a cooked gun in yout hands, not
even if you are alone. A sudden
stumble may fire il; and you can
never tell where the contents
may go.
Don't carry a loaded gun into
your camp or stopping place.

DIES IN NEVADA
Robert jenkins Passes Away. Death Due to
Kidney and Heart Trouble.

Robert Jenkins, thirteen years and
eleven months of age, son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
John G. Jenkins, died Saturday, August
25th, at Winnemucca, Nevada. The ex-
act cause Of death is unknown, but it is
presumed that kidney trouble, which
effected the heart lead up to his demise.
The Jenkins family had been spending
the summer in California and left San
Francisco last Friday on their way home.
At the time Of leaving Robert had not
been feeling very we'll but his parents
thought it was due TO fatigue and had
no thought but that he could make the
trip across the range safely. The boy
gradually grew worse in Nevada and
physicians were telegraphed and met the
train at Lovelock. When Winnemucca
was reached he was taken from the train.
This was in the evening of Friday and
Saturday morning he died.
The remains we're brought to Denver
and received at the undertaking parlors
of 1. N. Rogers. Wednesday morning at
lO:3O o'clock the funeral was held. Rev.
r. Il. Forester. of this city, conducted
the services, delivering very impressive
sermon. A number of citizens from here
attended the services and many former
residents Of this city living in Denver,
friends of the Jenkins family, were pres
ent. Numerous beautiful floral contri-
buttons surrounded the casket. The
body was placed in vault in Fairmount
cemetery.
Robert Jenkins was the second oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John G.. Jenkins
and was born in Central City. He was
a manly little fellow, bright and obedi-
ent, always respectful to his elders; a
favorite among his companions at school
and admired by all who knew him. His
death is an irretrievable loss to Mr.. and
Mrs. Jenkins and widespread sympathy
Of the community is extended by sor-
rowing populace.
