JOHN E. OVER DEAD
Pioneer Settler Of Beaver County and
Wealthy Ranchman Passes Away
After a Short illness.

John f Over, one of the earliest set
tiers of the county and a wealthy
ranchman died at his home near Cline,
Monday June 2lst, 1909, after a short
illness of heart trouble.
There is probably not man in
Beaver county who is better known to
our people than was John f. Over.
He came to this county in the very
early days and engaged in the stock
business, the only occupation of the
people of this section at that time. In
those days people were not to be found
on every quarter section in fact, there
were very few people in the entire
county and the population was COM
! posed Of the ranch owners and their
squad of cowboys, perhaps dozen
ranches would include the entire set
tied portion of the county. But, in
those days everybody was acquainted
with those within few hundred miles
OF each other and it was nothing to
speak OF having neighbor fifty miles
away. And so it was with John Over
His home was the home of hospitality
itself and no one ever thought of pass
ing within radius of MANY
miles OF his ranch without pay
ing him visit. The latch string was
always out and when stranger dark.
ened his door he received 30 hearty a
welcome that he was sure to come
again. In later years when the grea,
change took place in the condition oi
our country and it was transformed
from the home of the cowboy and long.
horn steer to that of the thrifty settler
MIR. Over did not forget his generous
ways OF the pioneer. The stranger
though beggar, never tailed to find
food and shelter if he sought it at his
hands.
Although a wealthy man at the time
OF his death, his condition was not a. |:
ways so. Like most of the pioneers of
this wild western section he accom-.
plished his successes by dint of hard
labor and life was not entirely free
from its ups and downs for him. But
he bore his adversities bravely and
when his efforts were crowned with
success he enjoyed his prosperity
quietly. Nobody ever heard him boas,
of his possessions and he lived in an
unassuming manner. He was a mar
who united sound sense with strong
convictions, and a candid outspoker
temper, eminently fitted to mould the
rude elements OF pioneer society into
higher standard of citizenship.
In the death of this man Beave,
county loses one of its most respected
citizens and his loss will be universally y

rs THERE A vAcANcYr

This Is question that has been
raised by the death af Mr.. J. o.
Seeligman, who was elected County
Surveyor at the last general cleo
tion, and who died last Friday with
out having qualified for the office.
The law provides that the incum-
bent In Office shall hold till his sue
cessor is elected and qualified. In
the case of Mr.. Seeligman, he was
elected, his commission had been
issued to him, but he had not taken
the oath OF office. Some OF the law.
yers contend that the commission
having been issued, his death creates
a vacancy, Notwithstanding the fact
that he had not qualified and en-
tered upon the duties OF his office,
and that the courts have sustained
this contention.
III there IL 10 vacancy, Mr.. Thos.
III. Holman, the present Surveyor,
holds over until the next general
election, as no provision is made
for special election In such cases.
II there is a vacancy, then the Gov
ernor will appoint some one to fill
1t. To meet the latter contingency,
Governor Folk has been notified of
the situation and an application
has been made by Mr.. Holman for
the appointment. III Governor Folk
does not net in the premises during
the few remaining days OF his ad-
ministration, and 1t Is held that a
vacancy exists, then Governor Had
ley will have the appointing.

sMoTHERED TO DEATH IN
ORE BIN AT FEDERAL.

A mill man named VIM. Wood
whose home is In the vicinity OF
Elvins, met with distressing death
at mill No. 3 of the Federal Lead
Company last Tuesday night, and
his body was not discovered for sew
eral hours afterwards, about three
O'Clock Wednesday morning. He
was at work ut an ore bin or hopper
on the upper floor into which the
crushed ore pours after 1t passes
through the rollers, and from which
II passes out through a chute at the
bottom of the bin. How IL happened
no one knows, as he was alone mt
the time, but In some way he fell
Into the bin, and his foot must have
caught fast into the chute 80 that
he could not extricate himself, and
the heavy crushed ore pouring In
to the bin covered and smothered
him to death. The bin was stopped
up when the workman came TO take
his place, and he commenced work
In the ore to try to open the chute
and found the unfortunate man i'm
bedded In it.
