Colo. Mr.. NICK inely is miner Of
experience and has means and came
here to locate. He is SO we'll pleased
that he has sent for his family and

Southern part of Lake county and in
Northern Nevada. writes to his par.
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. W. P. Jeter of

months owing to the high elevation
the snow falls very heavy in the Pine

The MinstreIs Are Coming.

AsAc AhsSsASAc nv cunning.
When Richards & Pringls's Famous
Georgia Minstrels appear at the Opera
House on Thursday. October 4, the
public will see the most expensive
colored show ever organized. If any
donbt of the absolute truthfulness of
this statement exist. it will be forever
dispelled when the performance is
given.
1t must be confessed now that there
were doubts in the minds of the
management about their being able to
make the giving of so vast and ex-
pensive show with any profit, and as
matter of fact the business ordi-
narily done by other shows would
not have been profitable, but it was
immensely profitable, and packed
houses rule everywhere. The pro-
gram is a lengthy one, and made up
of great variety. The street parade at
noon is novelty, two bands in daily
parade. -9.21 1t

RUN OVER BY

George w. Chaplin Meets Dea tn
Near the Ions Trestle
at Leland.

Geo. W. Chaplin. for many years a
resident of Josephine county, living
on his farm near Tunnel 8. was run
over and killed by the local freight
Friday afternoon near the long trestle
at Leland. Chaplin was seen by the
train crew to step or fall on to the
track about two car lengths ahead of
the engine. The emergency brak es
were applied but owing to the heavy
train and the second engine pulling
ahead it was impossible to bring the
train to a stop until several cars had
passed over him, completely severing
ali the limbs from the body.
Coroner Smith was notified and
went Immediately to the scene and
secured the testimony of the train
crew and others and decided that as
the evidence pointed to accidental
killing it was unnecessary to hold an
inquest.
The deceased was GA year of age,
veteran of the civil war and for
many years correspondent Of the
Courier, signing himself as "Wide
Awake" We have no means at hand

and have even stood in the way Of clearing away
the debris, an extraordinary amount of work has
been done during the two months that have
