Passing Of AnOfhGf Pioneer

and found him PROSTATE upon the
ground, apparently dead. DR.. Man
gan was Immediately called from his
residence in the same block. When the
doctor arrived he found that life was
extinct.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Muller
had died unattended it was deemed ex-
pedient to call coroner g jury, which
was done. AT the inquest the physi-
elan stated that the disease from
which Mr. Muller suffered for sew
eral years predisposed him to a sud-
den attack of apoplexy, which in his
opinion was the probable cause of
death.
The facts in the ife of the deceased
are as follows:
He was born in Germany on April
2S, 1895, and was at the time of his
death 72 years of age. He came to
New York city at the agee of IA, and
living there for fifteen years, he came
to California around Cape Horn in
1865. In 1869 he came to California
and established bakery and brewing
business. Here he lived till 1888, when
he came to Winnemucca and has been
residing here up till the time of his
death.
The relatives surviving are his wife,
Mrs. G.. T. Muller, two sons, F. N.
Muller and G. w. Muller, and two
daughters, Mrs. c. A. LaGrave, now
residing in Seattle, and Mrs. Jerry
Sheehan of Winnemucca.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been made public, but they
will probably be held here under the
auspices of the Masonic and Odd Eel
lows lodges, of which the deceased
was a member.

GEORGE FREDERICK MULLER
STRICKEN BY DEATHS HAND
Deceased Came to Humboldt County
in 1869 and First Settled in Union
vile

This morning another name was
stricken from the ever r-lessening role
of Humboldt county pioneers and
George Frederick Muller, settler in
this county since 1869, answering the
summons of the Grim Reaper, depart
ed on the journey from which none
return.
Mr.. Muller had been ailing for
some time. He was suffering from a
hardening of the blood vessels, which
as time passed by assumed a more and
more aggravated form. About six
weeks ago he took a decided turn for
the worse and upon recommendation Of
physicians he was taken to California
for treatment and change of climate.
He was considerably benefited by .
short stay Of three weeks in the west
ern state, but returned home because
he could not endure separation from
those he loved His condition since
he returned has been about the same
up till couple of Gays ago, when he
seemed to take a turn for the worse.
This morning the fast-approaching and
inevitable crisis came. Active to the
last in spite of his illness, he had gone
out into an outhouse in the rear of
the amilv residence to look after
some chickens kept there, and when
he did not return for a considerable
length of time his daughter, Mrs.
Jerry Sheehan, went to look for him

Immediately after the conference
broke up the representatives of the
men got together to consider the advis-
ability of calling strike in order to
bring the railroad to terms. Just
what decision was reached is not at
present known, as the union men de-
clined to discuss what had taken place
at the meeting. They were unit in
declaring that peaceful settlement
of the controversy can only be reached
by the general managers offering con-
cessions. Another meeting of the
union men has been scheduled for to-
morrow morning and the general be-
lief tonight is that a strike will be
called within the next 4s hours unless
the railroad officials propose another
conference to try to settle the matter
without resorting to fight.

"We have been instructed by the
men we represent to call strike un-

The railroad officials are not quite

the time the men were declaring a
strike was inevitable, Secretary Sla-

gers association, said:

of peaceable adjustment of the

DANGER POINT IS
REACHED
FAILURE MARKS ATTEMPT TO
ADJUST DIFFERENCES
Railroad Employees are Alert to the
Situation and are Ready to Walk
Out

CHICAGO, March 2S.-The United
States government will be asked TO
intervene to prevent strike of the
conductors and trainmen of the west
crn railroads. and if the plans of the
general managers do not miscarry, the
whole controversy wall be submitted
to arbitration for settlement Late
tonight the general managers gave
out a statenant declaring that they
will demand arbitration under the
Erdmann act. A strike of the men
would interfere with Interstate com
merce. The railroad officials believe
they can prevent a strike by asking
the government to step in and take
command of the situation.
The Erdmann act, passed IN 1898
provides for the arbitration of labor
difficulties where interstate commerce
is involved, by the chairman of the
Interstate commerce commission and
the commissioner of labor.

Justice and Sanity.

There has been q great deal said
about the unwritten law. and 1t Is held
by many thinking people to Justify
murder which Is indefensible. True.
life may be taken at times In self
protection without violating divine or
human law. but for deliberate homi-
eide there is no excuse whatever. II
is, of course. exasperating almost be-
yond endurance to have the home
despoiled by a constituencies monster
who bears the guise Of man. but courts
should deal with him in a civilized
community and give him his deserved
punishment. When u man takes the
law into his own hands and puts an
end. with malice aforethought. to one
of his fellow beings. he Is simply .
barbarian. no matter what cause he
has for his bloody deed. The young
man who slew the supposed wronser
OF his sister In this city. says the
Boston Budget. received Just sen.
should have thrown away his young
manhood to become a perpetual pris.
oncr: but his punishment. though Sc
we're. was deserved. and II will act as
a deterrent on other impulsive young
men of fiery southern blood. who
might bc tempted to follow In his un.
fortunate footsteps. Tho case OF Judge
Loving of Virginia, who was acqult.
ted by n Jury OF the crime Of murder
partially. apparently. on tho ground OF
sudden insanity. and partly. no doubt.
through reverence or regard for tho
unwrittcn law. Ia one In which II is
widely believed strict Justice was not
me,cd out In aii probability. tho
young man who was shot to death by
nm iratc father did not commit tho
deed of which he was nj fiEnt suspect.
cd. but even II he did. his slayer. Il
seems TO us. should have paid somc
penalty for his offence. and not have
gone entirely un~hipt Of Justice. Then
wo have tho story OF mother and son
who confessed that they killed
young man because he refused to we'd
tho daughter Of one and the sister OF
tho other. thereby breaking solemn
promise that he had made. This was.
no doubt. maddcnlns. but tho provo
cation was no excuse for tho homieidai
act or a good moral reason for their
aeauliiai. whcn bru;cs walk on two
legs the Law Of the land. as has been
well said. does not allow us to butcher
them. and tho sooner this IL realized
by those who claim tho un~ri,,ea ia~
