objection to her suitor she had en-
deavored to avoid him.
While formerly Miss Edsall had
spent a great deal of her spare time
at the home of her cousin, she had
quit visiting there since he had made
known his objection to her sweet
heart. Yesterday DR.. Watson was out
of town all day and was not expected
home until late that evening. His wife
telephoned to Miss Edsall to. spend
the night with her. This the young
woman refused to do. DIR. Watson ar
rived home at51O:30 o'clock and SEEM
ed greatly agitated over something,
He used the telephone in several busi-
ness houses, but to whom he talked is
not known.
Early this morning DIR. Watson went
to his office in Pitts Bros book store.
He swept out the room and then left
the place. Miss Edsall was night
operator and at z o'clock was off duty.
Three Walked Together.
The young woman. with both DR..
Watson and Horne, was observed
shortly after z o'clock walking past
Flanagan's dry goods store. They
turned east into Franklin street. At
the central school house, corner of
Church and Franklin streets, the little
party stopped and engaged in ami
mated conversation. After a long
talk Horne started back toward town
and Miss Edsall and her cousin re-
sumed walking up Church street.
The two stoppM again in front of
George Patterson's house at the cor
ner Of Church and Paschal streets and
talked earnestly. They were appar-
emily engaged in heated CONVERSE
tion. Although the subject of the con-
versation was not overheard, observ-
ers later came to the conclusion that
DR.. Watson was endeavoring to per-
suade the girl to accompany him to
his home on Paschal street, while she
insisted upon going to her own home
further up Church street.
Shoots Woman First.
Presently Horne rejoined the couple.
The only witnesses to the tragedy,
which almost instantly followed, were
Prof. E. L. Routh of Malone and The
14-year-old son Of Prof. Cox. Horne
evidently spoke sharply to DIR. Wat
son, for fhe latter replied heatedly,
and then, seizine his cousin by the
arm, drew a revolver and shot her
through the abdomen. holding her
tightly. Dropping the wounded girls
arm, he turned quickly and fired a
bullet through Horne's breast. AL
most instantly he placed the barrel of
the smoking weapon just above his
heart and pulled the trigger. After
falling to the ground, he shot himself
a second time. Both DR.. Watson and
Horne died within five minutes.
The unconscious and bleeding form
of the girl was taken inside the home
of George Patterson. She rallied
slightly after receiving medical atten-
tion. but her recovery is dispaired of.
Her condition is very weak.

who are best acquainted with the

penditure of little capital it would
develop into a good paying mine.

to move along prosperously. Reports
are current that an extra dividend

Obituary Notice.
Communicated. }

DleQ at MS nome near Flne OIOVe,
on Saturday morning, November 81,
George Henry Rinehart,
There are days in life which bring
to us such messages of sadness, we
would fail forget their passing, that
we might not carry with us the sense
of sadness and lost companionship.
Such day was certainly the one
bringing the message of George Rlne-
hart s death, to his fSiends and neigh
bors in this locality, where he had
lived so mauy years, Having como
to Volcano when but two years of
age.
Here where he grew from early
boyhood to the prime of manhood,
where he imbibed his first thoughts
and formed his character, he was
known but to be honored and re-
spected. Though a man of positive
character, earnest convictions and
aggressive Ideas, his impulses were
generous and true and many delighted
to call him friend. In their reliance
upon him, as such, they we're not
dIsappoined-he was friend that
was a friend indeed.
The best of his life and energy was
devoted to his home-that home so
saddened but few months ago by
the sudden death of Mrs. Rinehart.
The fathers devotion to his
motherIess boy was beautiful one,
and the strongest heart weeps at the
thought of such sorrow coming upon
one so yoang. The father and
mother are again united IN the land
where partings are unknown and
SORROWS do not come; but their child
weeps and he wonders why he should
thus be deprived of the best life held
for him. May the friends of the
father and mother remember this or
phan boy, and by loving kindly
thoughts and actions brighten his
young life, as they strengthen the
loving memory of his dead.
1t is hard to see one given up for
ever when he has reached a noble
and promising manhood, but 1T
would be an injustice to those dead to
complain of the edicts of the One
who has thus called our friend to a
higher, grander life.
The funeral services we're held at
the Pine Grove M. b. church, and
we're conducted 10y the Rev. Wilson
Morley, assisted by the church choir.
At the cemetery the Volcano order /,
o. o. f., laid their brother to rest
with the impressive services of their
order.

A succession of colds or a pIotract-

1t is highly recommended. Mrs M.

present at the last rites, testifying
to the universal respect and esteem
in which the dead jurist was held by
those who had known him in life.
From the nature of the fatal com
plant, the deceased must have been
great sufferer for years. Indeed, 1t
is said that. he told friends shortly
before his death. that he had suffered
untold agonies for four years. The
general public knew it not, and few
if any of his relatives we're aware OF
it. Such was the accomplishing char
acter of the man.
There can be no doubt that the de-
ceased in his official position as a
Judge endeavored to act fairly and
impartially to all; to administer the
law in accordance with his, con-
scientious convictions. Hench his
decisions we're seldom reversed. Am
ador county has lost distinguished
citizen and an upright judge. one
whose place cannot easily be filled.

W. q. Snyder, who is candidate
for the judgeship, appeared before
the committee, and made state
ment, saying that he would like to
have the endorse nent OF the COM

No definite action was taken, ex-
cept that a committee of three, name

G.. h. Richards, was appointed to in
terview the governor in relation to
the appointment. Just what is ex-
pected to be accomplished by this

action.
