TO MEMORY OF
COLONEL JACK PERRY
GENERAL KITTRELL WRITES OF
ONE OF THE EMPIRE BUILD
FRS WHO FORMERLY RESIDED
IN WHITE PINE COUNTY.

The following communication to
the Eureka Sentinel is from John r.
Kittrell. formerly Attorney General
of Nevada and a pioneer resident OF
Hamilton, White Pine County, o
residing at Fresno, California;
Editor Sentinel
There are some of the forgotten
worthless of Nevada whom We should
not willingly let die-or, more strict
ly speaking, we should not let the
memory of them wholly perish.
Prominent among these is Col.
John Van Buren, Perry.
Being at Visalia, Cal, some years
ago engaged in the defense of a train
robber, once a respected citizen oil
Carson, ! wrote the following sketch
of Col. Jack" which was published
in a news paper of that city.
| give it to you for publication
s~upposing that some old timer,
either of Virginia City or White Pine
may peruse it with the same degree
of interest and zest that experience
ed a few days ago, when reading In
your columns an aneedote of my de-
parted friend, Pres. Wand. | quote:
"'Col' John Van Buren, Perry was
a native of the city of New York,
and was one of the old-time firemen
who ran with the machine in that
city, full sixty years ago. He was a
'49er' and was for nearly a quarter
of a century a prominent and we'll
known character at Virginia City
and White Pine in the flush days of
those rushing mining camps.
1.-The man in Nevada, who did not
know Col Jack Perry, was too OBJ
scure to be himself known. He was
a brave and fearless man, unlettered
to be sure, but cast in the mold Of
rue manhood.
HE was generous to a fault and
never turned a deaf ear 10 the walls
of the unfortunate or withheld relief
from those in distress. He died at
San Francisco in the month of May
1889, universally lamented by all OF
the old band who for owe 30 years
had known him on the side of Mount
Davidson and at the foot of Treasure
Hill.
THE feeble tribute to the worth
and memory of Col Jack is paid for
I'm the edification of that scattered
band of Sagebrushers who shall not
have walked the way of nature
wherever they may be. on the PACT
fc slope, or elsewhere, by his
friends.

ASKS STATES TO KILL HIM.
Blind from Birth, Clergyman Seeks
End i'm the Electric Chair.

The Rev. Thomas McKinsey Of
Battle Creek, Mich, has written to
the Governors of New York, New
Jersey, West Virginia and Ohio, ask
ing them to have him put to death in
the electric chair. McKinsey is 5b
years old and has been blind from
birth. He overeame his inirmity
sufficiently TO become a minister, but
of late years his powers have failed
and he has had no ~pastorate. He
had a fine voice and made a living
singing in the streets until that
failed. Since then he has sold
trinkets. but his profits have been
small. In his letters to the Cover
nors he says:
Il am not and seemingly cannot
be profitably employed, therefore
eanno consistently have a home ano
a wife. ] must live in the poor
house among lunaties, idiots, broken
down drunkards and vagabonds,
where all ] can do is to eat unpalat-
able food and wear coarse clothes,
alton. and where | will be slowly
murdered. Surely under such cir
eumstances, it is the duty of the
State to take my life in the most
painless way possible. | have the
misfortune to live in a State where
they will not even execute criminals.
Therefore, | hope the Governor of
some State where they e%lectrocute
people will permit my life to be
taken in that painless way.'-New
York Times.

HAD SCHEME To
ROB MERCHANTS
RoGUS CHECK CONSPIRACY Al
.TONOPAH Is NIPPED IN BUD
AND ONE OF THE IAN"
ARRESTED.

By the arrest last evening, by
Sheriff Malley, on the streels Vi
Tonopah. of a man named Joe SAVOY,
the first step was taken in the un-
rayeling of the biggest bunko con
sniracv ever framed up |. this west
ern country.
At the time of his arrest Savoy
had on his person a package-whlch
he had received at the local postofflce
a short time before-eontainlng loo
blank Belmont checks. They had
been mailed to Savoy by a limo
graphing firm in Nashville, Tenn,
ON an order from Savoy, sent them
some weeks previously.
Later on in the evening Savoy,
accompanied by the officers, went TO
the southeast of Butler mountain,
there is an old abandoned tunnel,
where he had been sleeping, dug out
another package of checks, together
with ink and rubber stamp FAC
SMILES of the signatures OF Fred
erick Bradshaw, superintendent. and
C. Douchenau, chief clerk OF the
Belmont.
This second batch of checks "a
hundred or more) had been worked
over with the protectigraph. when
punches holes in the paper for hg-
ures and words. and the checks were
made out for 500, $50 and $40
each. They we're all ready for pass
ing, except having the signatures OF
the Belmont people affixed, and the
names of the payee. These would
have been inserted later, probably
after Savoy Gust before payday
had gained a little more knowledge
of the January payroll.
The scheme, as confessed by Savoy
when he found the officers had
him dead to rights. was to complete
the checks and on payday pass them
on the local merchants. They being
fae-similes of the real Belmont
check, not a house in the town would
have refused TO accept them. and
Tonopah business men would have
been bunkoed out of thousands OF
dollars. The least the gang-for
there are others besides Savoy, but
their names are suppressed pending
their apprehension-expeeted 10 clean
up was l 5000. This would have
been a hard loss to Tonopah bust
ness men just now. This clever
scheme to rob the community was
revealed through the connections
of the Tonopah Banking Corpora
ton. This bank, with most others of
the county, is a member of the
American Association of Bankers, a
protective organization designed to
trace embezzlers, forgers and other
folk who cause banks trouble from
time TO time.
The local bank was advised several
weeks ago that an Eastern litho-
graphing concern had received the
order for the checks. II is likely
suspicion was aroused from the fact
that so few of the checks were order
ed. since if the company was having
the work done. it's order would have
been some thousands instead of a
few hundred.
This tip the bank people turned
I'VE to the local officers. with the re-
suit that Savoy was Swallowed every
time he went to the p~ostoffice. Soon
er or later he was TO receive the
package of checks from the East
that much was certain.-Tonopah
