CASE OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
so the Coroner's Jury Found In the
Case of Frank Bamert.

From Robert Fleming, who obtain
ed his information direct from the
parties who we're present at the
Bamert place in Alpine county when
the tragedy occurred there last week
resulting in the death of Frank
Bamert, we are able to give the true
account of the sad affair, the parti-
oulars being somewhat different from
those given in these columns last
week. The report that the deceased
had trouble with the forest ranger is
without foundation. lie was on the
best of terms with that official. The
other report that some misunder-
standing existed with the Alpine
authorities about The migratory tax
is also unconfrmed. and probably
equally groundless. His relatives do
not know of his having had any
trouble with any one. On the morn
ing Of the tragedy he seemed as
hearty and cheerful as he ever was.
No complaint about feeling sick was
made by him. The shooting occurred
shortly after one O'Clock Monday,
September Dist. The victim retired
to his room about one o'clock, leav-
Ing in the room adjoining Mrs Ed.
Bamert, her sister Miss Maggie
Fleming and brother Harry Fleming.
ed. Bamert was in the pasture
short distance from the dwelling at
the time. A pistol shot was heard
by Harry Fleming, but no notice was
taken Of it, as the two brothers often
engaged in target shooting for
practice. After being absent half an
hour or more. Edward Bamert, who
had entered the dwelling In the
meantime. went to his roUm, and was
horritied to find his brother Frank
dead, with blood still issuing from a
pistol wound in his head, slightly
above the right ear. The body was
still warm. and the fatal weapon lay
by the body. The course was almost
straight inward, slightly upward. A
piece of oily rag was near by, gives
ground for the belief that the victim
was in the act of cleaning the pistol
at the time. The almost straight
course of the bullet is explained on
the theory that when the accident
occurred he was in the act of bending
forward, and accidentally struck the
pistol against the table, thereby dis
charging it with fatal consequences.
The coroner of Alpine county
could not be reached. A coroner's
inquest was held, however, an official
from Reno being called to the scene
for that purpose at the same time as
the undertaken was summoned from
the same city to embalm the remains
After hearing the testimony the jury
returned verdict of death resulting
from the accidental discharge OF a
pistol.
Deceased was 81 years of age, and a
native of California. The funeral
took place at Clements, in San
Joaquin county, on Thursday of last
week, and was very largely attended,
all the settlers of the neighborhood
being anxious to show the last
Tribute of respect to the deceased,
and to the sorrowing relatives in the
terrible calamity.

STUDENTS WON'T GET GOLD
4 Jamaican Got to Sunkcn Spanish
Shin before They Did.

Kingston, Jamaica, Oct. 4.-The exped-
ton composed of Harvard students,
which started recently on the schooner
Mayflowcr from New York in search of
sunken treasure in these waters. will
likely have to modify their original
plans. The treasure seekers intended to
search for a Spanish galleon which sank
many years ago. but the American eX-
petition has been anticipated by a ia
maican syndicate which chartered a
schooner and. after an Intellectual search,
returned to Montego bay.
The Jamaicans occupied several weeks
in their gold hunting trip and had excit-
ing experiences with hurricanes. The
galleon was not found but her position on
the ocean bed was located. the wreck
having broken to pieces years ago. d.
Spanish gold coins were recovered but
nothing Of any great value. The leader
OF the expedition as the son Of Sir Henry
Arthur Blake, who was Governor Of ia
maica 1887
Tho location OF the wreck, which is
believed to be near Silver Cay. between
Puerto Plata and Turks island, has been
visited frequently during the course Of
the last few centuries, first by an
expedition fitted out BY the Duke Of
Albemarle. who was governor ~ Jamaica
in 1857. Even as late as 1902, l0no pieces
