The Independent regrets that
Judge Brown declines to be a candi-
date for reelection. He has served
the people of this district conscient-

is above reproach. In his retire

with him the unbounded confidence
and respect of a very large ma
jority of the people of this judicial

JUDGE BROWN

Judge Brown has finally decided
not to be a candidate for reelection

in answer to the question as to
whether or not he would be a

KILLED BY A CLOUDBURST

A cloudburst Sunday afternoon
in Woodfords canyon resulted in
the death of one of the most
popular young ladies of Carson Val
ley, the loss of valuable team and
the destruction of a number of
bridges.
From the details that can be
learned of the sad affair it appears
that James Brockliss, his wife end
two children and his sister-in-law,
Miss Nevada Parks, have been camp
ing in Hope valley. They packed
up Sunday as shower the day be-
fore had practically ruined the
+ fishing and made things uncomfor-
table. Before they were out of the
valley it began raining. By the
time they had entered the steep
canyon the creek had swollen to an
alarming extent. At the point
known as Cloudburst canyon which
is above the old single mill Mr..
Brockliss became alarmed as the
water had reached the hubs of his
wagon. He stopped at this place
and took his family out of the
wagon and wished to assist Miss
Parks from the rig. She insisted
on remaining and managing the
horses. AS Mr.. Brockliss returned
to aid her and insist on her leaving
the wagon an avelanch of rocks and
boulders came down the side of the
mountain. This caught the rig
and horses and before it vas
realized the whole outfit was car
ried into the river. Mr.. Brockliss
was unable to render any assistance.
The struggling horses attached to
the rapidly whirling vehicle added
to the situation. In very brief
time the entire outfit had disap-
peared down the rugged and boulder
lined creek. Large boulders were
carried along while trees were up
rooted and helped demolish the
wagon. 1t is believed that when
the avalanch of boulders carried
the rig into the creekway that Miss
Parks was instantly killed. Thous-
ands of tons of rock and debris was
piled into the river making such a
seething mass that it was impossible
for anything that had life to survive.
AS soon as possible Mr.. Brockliss
hurried to Woodfords where as.
sistance was sought. A searching
party Immediately set out to recover
the body of the dead girl. 1t was
found late in the afternoon wedged
between two large boulders. A
gloved h"nd above the water was
the only portion of the body ex-
posed. This strange Identification
warning was the only shred of
wearing apparel that was left on the
entire body. The body was broken
and bruised beyond recognition.
Upon recovery of the remains they
were taken to Woodfords where
George Kitzmeyer of this city was
called to place the remains in such
condition that they could be taken
to the home ranch.
A search was made later for the
no Sos but they had not been found
at last reports. The wagon was de-
molished. The canyon is one of
the most treacherous in Nevada.
Yearly cloudbursts visit and wash
out roads and do other damage.
This is, however, the first death in
the canyon from such cause.
At yesterdays storm two bridges
were swept out and considerable
damage done to ranch property
further down the valley. -Carson

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed,
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition,
! hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

The death of the girls resulted
from the famous "Order No. IL"
issued by General Ewing of the
Union forces. Under this order
certain portions of Jackson and
Lafayette counties were depopu-
lated, the buildings burned and the
inhaitants brought into Kansas
City.
The object was to strike at
Quantrell's band of gerrillas, which
was making its headquarters in
that section. The people thus
corralled for the most part were
housed in an old building at Thir-
teenth and Grand avenue, Kansas
City. 1t was this structure that
collapsed, killing the four girls.
Jennie Anderson was a sister of
Bill Anderson, Quantrell's chief
lieutenant. Four days after the
building fell Anderson led raid
on Lawrence, Kansas, burning the
town and killing about hundred
persons. The raid was undertaken
in revenge for the death of Jennie

was the writer's privilege to witness
the finish, and as the strange new craft
emerged from the mists and flew
straight across the water until taking
the long glide to the landing on Gov
errors island he felt that he had been
permitted TO look upon the dim begin
nings of a new age.
TO Put America In the Lead.
1t is possible. of course, that not all
of these other projected flights will
take place. but enough of them will be
pulled off TO raise American interest in
aviation to fever heat. This is the OBJ
ject of the prizes. With the remarka-
bic aeronautic achievements recently
recorded in England and France it was
felt that America, which gave birth to
the aeroplane, should not lag behind.
The proposed contests will put her in
the lead, where she belongs. 1t should
be matter Of pride TO members Of the
press that their own craft has been in
strumental in bringing these results to
pass. Practically all Of these prizes
have been given directly by newspa-
pers or through their mediumship. 1t
is peculiarly appropriate that the press,
which is SO distinctively a product of
the present age, should thus advance
the transportation of the future. If
the newspaper stands for anything it
is progress. and the aeroplane is about
the most progressive thing the hand Of
man has yet fashioned. 1t has in n
possibilities not only of a new, pleas
urable and swift method Of travel, but
of world peace and world brotherhood.
