DEATH OF GEORGE STONE
Speculation as to Whether Deceased
Was Former Eureka Resident

Was Former Eureka Resident
Parties in Eureka who recently read
the account of the death of George
Stone in the Winnemucca Star are
wondering if it is the same George
Stone who drove stage and team in Eu-
reka and who left here for Tonorah
about 10 years ago. He was seen in
Reno by Deputy Sheriff James Mackey
about two weeks ago. His wife now re.
sides in Eureka and she is anxious to
learn if il was her husband who was
found dead. The Winnemucca Star
of September 10 furnishes the follow
ing details regarding the George Stone
found dead there:
A stranger by the name of George
used by G. Caywood at the corner of
First and Akin streets. The man had
been ill in a cabin there for several
days and DIR. Giroux, the county ply
stefan, was called and found him ser.
iously i'll with pneumonia. The doc
tor sent for the superintendent Of the
county hospital to have the man NOV
ed there SO that he could be properly
cared for. Upon going there the SUI
perintendent found the body of the
man lying in the corral, where he had
died after crawling from his bed in
the cabin.
The deceased was about 60 years of
age and nothing is known Of his rela-
tives or where he came from.

RAILROAD SoUND-A. s. G.. City. Why
does a railroad train make more noise while
crossing bridge over river than 1t does going
over solid ground?
A bridge is elastic and vibrates much
more from the weight of the train
than does, the solid earth, in conse-
quence of which it produces more
definite sound waves. The bridge acts
as sounding board and the water
below it repeats or echoes the sound.

asked whether his arrest was for thai
