All Over,

While work on a new building was
going on in a southern town not long
ago an old negro employed as hod-
carrier suddenly slipped while near
ing the third story and plunged head
long to the ground. Several passers-
by rushed over expecting to find a
man dead with a broken neck, as the
old fellow had struck squarely on the
top of his head. Finding the old man
still alive some one emptied the con-
tents of whisky bottle down his
throat. In a few moments the old
negro sat up and looked around.
How do you feel now, uncle?"
asked bystander kindly.

Old Rain-in-the-Face died not long
ago and his epitaph is found in the
flippant paragraph that the Sioux
warrior and chieftain is at last good
Indian.
Every redskin who ever raised his
hand against a white man Is dubbed
a bad Indian. Rain-in-the-Face living
was of service to the world. He add
ed picturesqueness and spirit of
savagery to the dull canvas of civil
liked life. Something is lost every
time that one of the old-time warriors
of the plain goes to tie land where
the buffalo grass is always green and
where the herds await the Indian
hunter.
In the deaths of most of the great
Indian chiefs of old there was always
some tragic note. Most of them met
violent deaths. Perhaps Geronimo,
who passed away at Fort Sill, Okla,
some months ago, was the only one OF
many aged chieftains to die natural
death. The Indians picture of the
happy hunting ground is said by stu
dents to have made violent death the
safest mode of entrance to the portals
Of the redskin heaven in the Indian
mind. The quality of bravery dis
played, the Indians also believed in
the old days, had much to do with
their happiness after death, and as
consequence to die fighting for their
tribe was the aim of most of the old
school of warriors.

white men ever offered them was his

Out at Pine Ridge Is years ago the
little Episcopal mission church was
turned into hospital for the care of
the wounded survivors of the band of
Big Foot, the Sioux chief. The pews
and the altar had been removed and
straw had been strewn on the floor
and there lay the stricken women and
children-all the men of the band had
met death-every one sore wounded
by the bullets of the soldiers.
Where the altar had been lay the
wife of a chief and her four little
children, bearing the pain of their
wounds with what we are pleased to
call savage stoicism. The sun came
up over the pine-topped ridges and
sent its light through the stained-glass
window over and above the place of
the altar.

WHOM HE HAS HEARD MOTH
ING FOR LONG TIME.

Donald NJ. Mckenzie, registered
at the Mizpah from Oakland, is
here in quest of his father, D. NJ.
Mckenzie, whom he has not seen in
many years. The elder Mckenzie
was last heard of from this section.
In the letter that stated his where
abcuts, the information was convey
ed that he had holdings hereabouts
which were considered valuable.
D. NJ. Mckenzie was in Rosland,
British Columbia, in the early days
of that camp, and was in possession
of holdings from which he was sup
posed to have realized handsomely.
From that time on he kept his peo-
pie informed as to his whereabouts
up to about year ago when all
trace of him was lost. 1t is not
known whether or not he is at the
present time in the land of the
living.
The son, who is now in this city,
has travelled far and wide in an eff
fort to locate his missing parent.
Thus far he has been unsuccessful,
but has not given up the search. He
is of the opinion that his parent is
still alive. The son up to this time
has seen no one here who remem-
bers his parent, although there are
some people here who remember the
name. He will remain here several
days in an endeavor to get some
line on the whereabouts of the miss
ing man.

Life of Pete Blake Is
Snuffed Out

F. P. Blake, manager of the bar
at the Tonopah Club, one of the
most popular young men about town,
was stricken in death Monday after
noon shortly after 4 O'Clock in the
sub-basement of the Tonopah Club,
by coming in contact with a live
wire. Physicians were called in
shortly after the accident and the
young man was pronounced dead A
coroner's jury yesterday brought in
verdict of accidental electrocution,
after hearing the evidence of many
witnesses.
The people of Tonopah were
shocked Monday afternoon upon
hearing of the death of F. p Blake,
who was Familiarity known as
Pete" For several years past he
has been employed in the Tonopah
Club as manager of the bar. In
that capacity he met many people
and became warm favorite with
all.
Blake was just going off shift
when he was told by Johnny Nc
Gallery, who is also employed in the
Tonopah Club, that the beer had run
out. The former, after listening to
the last round of the Ketchel-Papke
fight returns from which wern ha
ing received at the club, fastened
to the lower basement of the build
ing to tap new kegs. He had been
gone some time, when McCaffery
went to the cellar to tap the beer
himself, believing that Blake had
been called upon to do something
else. When he lit match in the
dark basement where the beer was
kept he was greatly surprised to
find the lifeless body of his associ-
ate upon the floor. Upon further
examination, McCaffery found that
the unfortunate young man held an
electric globe in his hand. Evidently
a leakage caused shock of electric
ity to strike Blake, which brought
about his death. Medical aid was
summoned, DR.. Cowden being the
first physician to arrive upon the
scene. He worked over the body.
but life was extinct DR. Hammond
was also called in, but it was found

that Blake was beyond all human
aid.
hr' d.. til was not instantaneous
is borne out by the evidence of Nc
Caffery before the coroner's jury.
The young man stated that after he
had extracted the electric globe from
the hand of Blake, he asked him
what had happened Blake muir
INJURED something which could not
be understood by McCaffery. The
body was removed to the upper
basement, where all that could be
done was rendered.
The news of the death of Blake
caused profound sorrow in the camp.
He was a highly-respected young
man of moderate habits. He is one
of twelve children and the first one
of that large family to pass away.
His mother and father are both liv-
ing and are residents of the Com
stock, where the body will be taken
this morning for interment. The
Eagles and volunteer firemen of this
city will accompany the remains to

Pete Blake was 81 years of age,
a native of Virginia City, Nevada. A
brother, John Blake, arrived in Ton

mains to the old home. as will a
sister, Mrs. ]. HALEY of Goldfield,

eral ceremonies in irginia.
At the coroner's inquest yesterday
afternoon, held in the Office of JUS
tice of the Peace Atkinson, many
witnesses were examined. The ply
sicians who examined the body were
of the opinion that death was due
to electrocution. A post mortem
held by Dr.. Hammond and DR.. Alex

heart of the deceased was in excel

showed that it had been burned by
the current.
