BANK EXAMINER VAN FLEET {,
DIES SUDDENLY IN EUREKA

A telegram was received here
Sunday forenoon by John Henderson
conveying the news of the death of
Bank Examiner Van Fleet and re-
questing him to send an automobile
after the remains. Mr.. Henderson
complied with the request and Mr..
Boycc left for Eureka in the after
noon with his automobile. No
particulars were given in the dis
patch and all sorts of conjectures
were floating around. In order to
get the correct particulars, we
wired the Sentinel this morning and
received the following reply:
Bank Examiner Van Fleet was
taken i'll suddenly Saturday night,
while in his rooms at the hotel
Zadow, with severe pains across the
chest, accompanied by retching,
vomiting and dizziness. DR.. Bur
nett attended him with treatment
which gave relief, and in about an
hour he was able to talk with the
doctor regarding his condition. He
said then that he felt much better
but asked the doctor to remain.with

Beware of OintmentS for Ca.
tarrh that Contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely
derange the whole system when
entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive
from them. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney e.
Co., Toledo, o., contains no mercury,
and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. In buying

get the genuine. It is taken

JUST A PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS

Under the heading of "Who's Ok
is Gored," the Free Press of Satur-
day undertakes to justify Recorder
Greenhouses appointment of L. S.
Eilcr as deputy recorder. In doing
so, it insinuates that the writer of
this article was appointed deputy
assessor by Mr.. Hesson Immediately
upon his arrival in this county.
How base and cowardly the irsin-
uation is will be seen from the fol-
lowing statement:
On st. Valentines Day, 1875, we
arrived in Virginia City, Nevada,
and made it our home until the lat
ter part of August or the first of
September, 1886, when we arrived
i'll Elko to take Charge of the public
school as principal. At the close of
that school year we were unanim-
ously reelected as principal. In
June or July of 1887, Mr.. Hesson
appointed us his office deputy.
From this it will be seen that we
had been a citizen of Nevada for
over twelve years and a citizen of
Elko county nearly a year before
being appointed deputy assessor.
Quite difference between the facts
and the false and cowardly insin
uation of the Free Press.
So. far as Aubrey Hcndcrson's
residence in the county, before his
appointment as deputy recorder, is
concerned, he informs us that he
came to Nevada five years ago and
to this county in February, 1909,
and for a time held position in the
Henderson Bank; and at the time of
his appointment, in August or Sep
TENDER of last year, was work ing
for the Western Pacific Railroad
Company. Quite a difference be-
tween five years in Nevada and the
few days Mr.. Eiler has been here.
The editor of this paper has never
attempted to influence or dictate to
Recorder Greathouse in any way and
any insinuaton or statement to the
contrary by Mr.. Greathouse or any
one else is only the imagination of
a diseased brain or the baseless
statement of a cowardly liar.

We have lease at Pioneer, oil
lands in southern California and
other properties. any one of which
should pull out, not only the banks,
but ourselves, and that within a very
few months.
The affairs of the banks will be
closed up without any expense other
than that which is absolutely.
The failure was due to our invest
ments, particularly in southern
Nevada, many of which proved dis
astrous. We worked in the face of
innumerable obstacles, the first
being the San Francisco fire, which
caused shrinkage in our securities
amounting to a half million dollars.
The fall in the price of our Goldficld
holdings, due to the labor troubles
there, caught us for a couple of
hundred thousand dollars more and
the great PAM completed the dis
aster. Since that we have struggled
to get our heads above water and
think we should have succeeded in
time. But the crash has come now
and all we will do the rest of our
days, if it requires our remaining
years, will be to make everybody
square, and this will, we hope,
require only a few months. Then,
and only then, we will endeavor to
repair our individual fortunes.

DEATH OF COLONEL LORD

Colonel F. G. Lord, father of
Mrs. Otto T. Williams, died sud-
denly in Virginia City Friday even
ing. Last Sunday he attended
church with the De Witt Clinton
Commandery in Reno, and at that
time seemed to be in perfect health.
Saturdays Carson Appeal gives
the following sketch of his life:
Frederick Chaplin Lord was born
at Wallingford, Conn.,, on October
9, 1887. In 1861, at the outbreak
of the Civil War, he enlisted on
April 18th, in the First Connecticut
Volunteer Infantry and throughout
the war served successfully with
that regiment and the second, thir-
teenth and third provisional New
York Cavalry regiments He rose
from the rank of private steadily
through the ranks of sergeant,
sergeant-major, second and first
leiutenants and finally captain, and
during the great struggle partici-
pated in 81 battles and cavalry en-
gagements.
In 1866 he came to Nevada.
From September l, 1866, he served
successfully as assistant assessor,
assessor, deputy collector and col
lector of internal revenue of the
State of Nevada. He served from
June Fl, 1898, to May Is, 1899, as
major and paymaster of the United
States Volunteers. For six years
he served as a colonel of infantry in,
the same troops.
In 1896 he was elected state SEN
ator and served for four years. He
was elected again in 1892.
Col. Lord was a Past Commander
of De Witt Clinton Commandcry
No. l, Knight Templars, and also a
member of the Virginia City Post
of the G. A. r. He was also
member of the Reno lodge of Elks.
For 80 years he has been agent of
the Giant Powder Company and at
the time of his death he was time
keeper for the Con. Virginia Mine.
A wife and two married daugh-
tiers survive him. Mrs. Otto Will
liams, wife of a we'll known Elko at
torney, is one of his daughters, and
Mrs. w. f. Hanson, wife of San
Jose pharmacist, is the other.
The funeral arrangements have
not yet been made but will be an
nounced shortly. His prominence
in lodge life will make his funeral
an impressive ceremony.

lience to the opera house Saturday
Anight. The different actors did

Mr.. Fred Crofut, one of the grand
jurors summoned by Judge Breen
to investigate the affairs of the
Eureka County Bank, is in town
after load of provisions. He says
conditions in Eureka are very bad,
and that there is likely to be a
famine on account of the scarcity
of provisions. Eureka was sorely
stricken by the flood and bank
failure.
Judge Langan has denied the
motion of T. B. Hickey for a change
of venue from Ormsby county in the
case of Frank l.. Wildes as receiver
VS.. It. B. Hickey and the directors
of the defunct State Bank and set
the case for trial on April 9th.
Judge Breen evidently means
busino FIN dealing with the affairs
- the Eureka County Bank. His
reply to the statement of Deputy
Attorney General Fowler has the
right ring. Sworn officers of the
law should do their duty to the
people fearlessly and impartially.
When they fail to do that, innocent
people are sure to suffer. We hope
Judge Breen will hew to the line in
all matters Connected with the fail
urc of the Eureka County Bank.
We give our readers today full
and complete statement of the
affairs of the Eureka County Bank
and matters connected Herewith,
as the same appeared in the Eureka
Sentinel of Saturday. The failure
of this bank is of intense interest to
the people of Nevada and especially
to this county, where Oscar J. and
y Bert l.. Smith were once interested.
4 The getting up of this amount Of
matter has made a great deal of
extra work in this office, but through
the kindness and interest of Mr.. o.
NV. Andrews and the assistance of
our new typesetting machine we
are able to give our subscribers the
\ latest authentic news of the failure
of the EurekaCounty Bank and We
feel sure that they will appreciate
our enterprise in giving them tho
