DOWN
BY PARALYSIS
Oldtime Resident Receives Death
Stroke While at Work
Saving Wood

Startling indeed was the announcement
late Monday afternoon that Jimmy Dow
Ian had been stricken with paralysis while
saving wood in the cellar for Chas Crete.
He was all alone when the stroke came,
but not hearing the noise Of the saw for
some time, Mr. Crete descended to the
lower apartment and found Mr. Dowlan
lying in helpless condition He was
Immediately removed to a comfortable
bed and DIR. Schuyler summoned. 1t was
found that he was completely paralyzed
and beyond all human aid. He never
regained consciousness or uttered an aud
ible sound after the stroke, and in the
same manner he had lived his entire life,
quietly and peacefully passed into the
Great Unknown at about 4 o'clock Tues
day morning
AS nearly as can be ascertained Mr..
Dowlan came to Silver City in 1867 and
has made it his home ever since. He was
engaged in the dairy business for many
years, but for the last decade or longer
has sawed wood and done odd jobs and
chores around town. He has always
been an industrious, hard working man,
always keeping himself busy at some
thing and seeming never 10 tire. He was
"A aears of age.
Funeral services were held from the
Lower Masonic hall today at p. m.

NUGGET OFFICE HAS
A RAG-TIME BLOWOUT

It isn't very often that you hear of
genuine blowout at printing Office,
but there was certainly one at The Mug
get Office Monday night worthy Of mem
ton. After the typhoon-like hurricane
that ragged all night long had played havoc
with everything loose at one end in the
camp, it suddenly swooped down upon
the front door Of The Nugget Office and
most unceremoniously forced an entrance.
When the ditor-printer-devil-errand-boy
etc., man came to work Tuesday morning
he found deposited in his workshop about
two carloads of the beautiful" And
he is still blowing from the violent ex-
ertion Of shoveling snow. If the trains
had been running that morning there
might have been another blow to put
on the records.

A PIONEER RESIDENT
MAY LEAVE SILVER CITY

MAY LEAVE SILVER CITY
In conversation with County Attorney
Hays, we were informed by the gentle
man that it is his intention to remove
from Silver City sometime in the not dis
tant future.
Mr.. Hays has been familiar and an
active figure in Silver City, both in social
and business matters, almost from the
time the camp first started, having come
here in 1865. He has held nearly every
position Of private and public trust that
has ever been created in Owyhee county,
having been appointed Deputy United
States Internal Revenue Collector some
two years after his arrival in this section.
In 1870 he accepted the position of agent
for stage line running from Boise to Win
nemucca, Nevada, distance of 1866 miles,
and although the business changed hands
many times, he held the position for ten
years, having full power and authority
to conduct all business from that office
during the absence Of the superintendent.
During that period Mr.. Hays read law in
the Office of Richard q. johnson and was
admitted in October, 1873, to practice as
an attorney and counsellor at law and
solicitor in chancery, in all the courts of
record Of the then territory of Idaho. In
1874 he overcome strong democratic
majority and was elected sheriff on the
republican ticket in one of the hottest
campaigns in the history Of Owyhee coun-
ty. He served two terms and had many
hair-raising and exciting experiences in
those early days of the mining camps of
Owyhee. He was interested in mines
and mining for number Of years and in
1881 was appointed Deputy District At
torney for Owyhee county, which posi-
ton he held until elected CountyAttorney,
servngi three successive terms, during
which time he purchased half interest
in the Avalanche, and year later bought
his partner out. He conducted the paper
as an independent sheet and was editor
and proprietor for about l3 years.
Mr.. Hays has served Owyhee county as
prosecuting attorney about 20 years alto
gether and has the reputation Of having
prosecuted and convicted more criminals
than any other attorney in Idaho in th,
same length of time. When a prisoner
has been convicted he has never beer
known to sign petition for a pardon
He has always been a staunch republican
We did not learn what Mr.. Hays fu
ture plans are, but the fact that he con
templates leaving Silver for good is tn,
source of deep regret to his innumerabl
friends and old comrades in this county.

Caught in a Raging Storm @ @. Heedum and
Henry Stevens are Nearly Frozen
to Death Near De Lamar
WERE OUT ALL NIGHT IN THE STORM
Team Gave Out and Men Were Obliged the Rig.
Wandered Aimlessly Around in a Dazed Condition.
One Horse Found Dead, Other Missing

Last Thursday, February 23rd, will be
a day long remembered by c. G. Heedum
and Henry Stevens, both Of whom are in
a critical condition occasioned by the "a
to 30 hours time which they spent wan
dering around lost, half frozen and dazed
in the raging storm Of last Thursday and
Thursday night.
On the previous Sunday they set out to
drive to Boulder creek, distance Of
nearly 40 miles, securing good snow
team from the Gardner & Downey stables
with which to make the trip. Whether
or not they reached their destination is
not definitely known, as nothing more
was heard from them until Friday, when
a report came from De Lamar that both
were found about three and half miles
below that camp terribly emaciated from
the horrible nights suffering and almost
frozen to death.
James Brown, living about six miles
below De Lamar, who was coming to
town noticed fresh tracks zigzagging
backward and forward across the road
and Immediately surmised that they had
been made by someone who had become
lost. So he followed them up and dis
covered to his horror the two men in the
condition stated above. Being on horse
back and unable to awaken the men to
their danger or even to get any reasonable
answer from them, Mr.. Brown remounted
his horse and hurriedly rode to De Lamar
and gave the alarm.
The coroner and relief party secured
team and Immediately set out to rescue
the unfortunate men. Mr.. Heedum was
found almost buried in the deep snow,
lying on his face, one arm and both feet
being frozen stiff while his face and whole
body were chilled to the marrow. Mr..
Stevens, still on his feet, was in de-
mented condition, having become snow
blind while hunting around trying to find
eage-brush with which to build fire. He
was badly frozen in a similar manner to
Mr.. Heedum, his face and eyes being Sc
verely affected. Neither one Of the men
have as yet recovered sufficiently to give
clear account of their trip, when they
left their sleigh or what became of the
horses.
The sleigh was found about mile anC
a half from where the men were, also one
horse was found dead but the other ami
NAL has never been seen or heard of
Mr. Gardner has searched the entir
neighborhood thoroughly but no trace 0
the missing horse could be found.
Mr.. Heedum is still down at De Lama
where he is being looked after by DR.
Farrer. The extent of his injuries or jus
what the outcome Of them will be can no
at this time be told; however, it is quit
likely that at least the amputation of sew
toes will be necessary. Mr.. Stevens wa
brought up to his home here the sam
day they were found by Hans Metson an
Louie Francisco, and he too will doubles
suffer the loss os several toes.

Warning to Railroad Men.

Look out for the severe and even dangerous kidney and bladder trouble resulting from years of railroading. Geo. E. Bell, 639 Third St., Fort Wayne Ind, was many years a conductor on the Nickel Plate. He says Twenty years of raflroading left my kidneys in terrible condition. There was a con tinual pain across my back and hips and my kidneys gave. me much dis tress, and the action of my bladder was frequent and most painful. I got a supply of Foley Kidney Pills and the first bottle made a wonderful improve ment and four bottles cured me com pletely. Since being cured I have rec commended Foley Kidney Pills to many of my railroad friends. Lee 6 Osgood Cn
