SUDDEN DEATH OF
NEVADA pioneer

ID. l.. Bliss, one of the best known
men on the Pacific coast, died at the
Jefferson home in this city at :
o'clock yesterday morning after an
illness of about thirty hours. Death
was due to pneumonia and was ex-
pected as from the time he was
stricken the attending physician gave
no hope of recovery.
Mr.. Bliss and son, Walter, left San
Francisco for Nevada on Thursday
and they separated at Reno on Fri
day, the son returning to San Fran
cisco and Mr.. Bliss coming to this
city last Saturday. On Friday night
at Reno he suffered a severe chill and
when he arrived in this city was i'll.
He was in the Office of H. M. Yering-
ton. however, when he became very
i'll and had to be taken to room and
physician called. After making a
hasty examination the physician an
nounced that the patient could not
lcSoNCi dAu IHdI uSdCh was Ire Iudl-
ter of only short time. On Sunday
his wife arrived from San Francisco,
bringing nurses for the patient, but
in spite of everything Mr.. Bliss sank
rapidly until death came at 1 o'clock
yesterday morning.
Immediately after death the re-
mains were prepared for shipment to
San Francisco and left the city at .
o'clock Monday morning on special
train for Reno The body was taken
to the bay city, where it will be Gre
mated, the deceased requesting that
his body be so disposed of Carson

shipped from Tucson last night and
the funeral is to be held at Virginia
City as soon as the funeral arrange
ments can be completed after the ar
rival of the body.
Deceased was well known to the
old-time residents of Virginia City.
He was native of Wales, aged so
years. He came to Nevada in the
early history of the Comstock, and
for twenty years was employed IN
the mines there. 1t was on the ad-
vice of his physician twelve years ago
that he left for Arizona. He was a
lifelong member of the Masons and
Odd Fellows, and it will probably
be under the auspices of these orders
that the funeral will be held.
To mourn his loss he leaves three
grown children. Mrs. Tegwin M. Dan
iels and w. T. James of Reno. and
Daniel u. James of Tucson.

WAS deed OF
An ASSASSIN
BROTHER OF SHERIFF or LIN.
COLIN COUNTY KILLED ON
HIS PORCH.

Lincoln county is wrought up Il
the highest pitch over an assassina.
ton which occurred there a week
ago. The victim was the brother OF
Sheriff Phil Smith. and the general
impression is that the assassin was
in quest of the sheriff.
The murder took place in Caliente
about thirty miles to the south OF
Phoebe. John Smith, the sheriff's
brother, was visiting at the officer's
home, and was about to leave for his
own home early in the evening. As
he opened the door he stepped into a
flood of light on the front porch, and
at the same instant there was q shot
rang out from the darkness, and
Smith fell MORALLY wounded.
In the excitement following the
death of Mr.. Smith, the assassin had
plenty of time to make good his es-
cape. Sheriff Smiths first attention
was to his fallen brother, but as soon
as he saw that he was attended to, he
started in pursuit, but he was baffied
at the very start
AT last accounts, the officers of
Lincoln county were completely at
sea as to the identity of the murder
er. The murdered man was miner,
well known in that section of the
country. He was a married man with
a family, and was highly though of
and did not have an enemy as far as
is known. He and his brother, Phil,
were large owners in the Pennsyl-
vania district, seventy-five miles to
the south of Phoebe.
Phil Smith, the sheriff, for whom
it is thought that is brother was mis-
taken, has been sheriff of the county
for three terms, and has an excellent
record. Doubtless. in his career, he
has made enemies of the criminal
classes, and it may have been that
one of that stripe was looking for
him. He is a brother-in-law of Dep
ntx Sheriff George Logan of this city,
having married the latter's sister.

SPARKS AGAINST
SPECIAL session

CARSON CITY, Dec. 26.-Govet,
nor Sparks is going to use every eff
fort to avoid calling special session
of the legislature He said as much
last night after completing long
telegram to President Roosevelt de-
Tending his action in issuing an ap-
peal for Federal troops to restore
peace in Goldfield.
The Governor said that the fact
that there has been no trouble in
Goldfield while the soldiers have been
there is good evidence that it was a
wise plan to have them there.
The Governor also said that the
trouble is merely local one in Gold,
field and only affecting Esmeralda
county, and that he was not certain
that it would be just right to burden
the rest of the State with extra ex-
pense in order to handle the trouble
in the southern camp.
All the legislature could do ne
said, would be to authorize the Or
ganization of State militia or police
force. Should matters so shape them
selves | will give the authorities of
Goldfield an opportunity to handle
the situation and enforce the law in
the operation of the mines. Should
they fail | will do everything in my
power under the constitution of Ne
vada to place men in there to see to
it that peace prevails.
"They call those fellows down there
high graders l call them plain
every day thieves, and the quicker
they are punished for the crimes the
better will be the condition at Cold
field"

principally for carriage to the smell
ter at McGill. The bulk of this would
come from Tonopah and Goldfield
country. at least in the beginning.
1t is confidently asserted by many
with acquaintance with the country
traversed, however. that before long
railroad facilities would enable the
opening up of big producing districts
at several points along the line. The
country west of Goldfield and Tono-
pah would also be an important feed
er of the new line.
The new road if built will enable
a direct short line between Ely and
Los Angeles and shorter line be-
tween that city and Salt Lake, via
the Nevada Northern from this point
than is now in operation. BY reason
of the connection possible here for
Salt Lake and the east the line would
unquestionably get a considerable
amount of fruit and other traffic from
the coast and in the through opera
ton give practically a transcontinen-
tai service. These features and 9TH
ers having important bearing on the
road as an investment will all be
gone over and disposed of by Mr..
Armstrong in the report which he
will file at the conclusion of his in
vestigation.-W White Pine News.

OLD COMSTOCkER
DIES IN ARIZONA

Twelve yeats ago zephaniah James
left Virginia City for Arizona in an
effort to regain his health, lost in
delving for gold in the treasure vaults
of the old lode. For twenty years or
more he had resided on the Com
stock and had raised his family there.
In all the twelve years in Arizona, his
love for the BattIeborn State did not
diminish, and practically one of his
last wishes before he died at Tucson
last Friday, was that his last resting
place be in the shadow of old Mount
Davidson. Accompanied by son,
Daniel Y. James, the remains were

The thawing hear has made the

Albert Karsten was thrown off a
horse against a wagon and hurt his
shoulder blade. 1t was thought for
a time that it was fractured but he is
able to use it.
Dave Crichton had a nice walk of
three or four miles last Sunday. He
was coming from Bancroft when the
buggy got stuck in the snow, broke
an evener, letting the horses loose.
They ran for about a mile when Bert
Zaeler caught them.

Our people We're painfully shocked
a few days ago at the announcement
of the sudden death of Mrs. George

young ladies, it is presumed that the
home will not be broken up though
the mother be taken.
Private advices from the vicinity Of
Linton, North Dakota, do not bring

While the roads are not real good,
people continue to move.
Messrs. Varland and Hetland were

cd that the burial would take place
at the old home in Pecatonia, H., it
being likely that none of the family

the son and daughter from away ar
rived it was reconsidered. None of
the near relatives live at the old Illi-

TO bury her in the Lake Preston

EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon bvRev. III. Preston
We are obliged to live upon this
earth, and the only teaching that
can be translated into conduct. The
RELIGION which we need is not a beau
tiful dream, but a solid reality which
we can make use of along the dusty
and difficult way.
Men are preoccupied. Their heads
are filled with their own ideas and
schemes, and only a strong man can
compel them to listen. Jesus always
received attention.
Jesus used pictures in his preach
ing. All men like pictures. We have
the child in us, and the child in us
likes pictures. The parallels are SO
many stereopticon views Of spiritual
truth.
Jesus uses paradoxes. do you
want TO be great, be little. "Do you
want to be chief, be least" do you
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1907-02-15

want to be first, be last" do you
want to rule, be a servant do you
want to lose your life, save it. These
are a few examples of His paradox
cal method.
Jesus allowed men to do their own
thinking. He simply started them,
gave them a hint, a sort OF mental
push. He tossed Hiss clear cut SEN
fences into the air, saying HE that
hath ears to let him hear
Love is a central principle OF human
life. Jesus announced that first Of
ali. Love was the heaven He arched
above mems head. Love was the
foundation He spread beneath their
feet, Love was the sun which he
hurled out into space, and all other
principles were but planets revolving
around this central luminary.
