FINISHES PRISON SENTENCE
ONLY TO BEGIN ANOTHER

When e. H. Buckley, alias p. S.
Steele, alias II. r. Carpenter pre-
pared to leave the Nevada state pris-
on at Carson Tuesday afternoon aft
er completing a term of one ear and
six months for forgery, he probably
expected to enjoy a brief spell of free
dom, but he was greatly disappoint-
ed for he was Immediately taken into
custody by an officer from Washing
ton, where he is wanted for violating
a parole from the state prison there.
TIE officer was S. Rogers of Walla
Walla.
Buckley was sent to the Nevada
state prison from Reno IN July 20,
1911. He had just been convicted
of forgery, two small checks on local
clothing houses being the cause of
his downfall. He was sentenced from
here under the name of p. S. Steele,
alias II. R. Carpenter.
1t is understood that the prisoner
several years ago was sent to the
Washington state prison on the same
charge. and was later paroled. BY
leaving the state he violated his pa
role and subjected himself to arrest.
When 1t was learned that he was in
the state prison in Nevada arrange
ments were made to arrest him at
the expiration of his term.

pie trusted him and manifested their
faith in him whenever he gave them
an opportunity to do 50. He repaid
their confidence by giving them the

He was the kind of a mar that
men loved. The charm of his per-

a warm heart, shot to the core with
sunshine. The day never was
gloomy if he was about. He loved

TONOPAH CITIZENS TRIBUTE
TO THE LATE PUDDY GRIMES

The remains of Puddy Grimes,
Nye county's late auditor and record
er, who passed away at his home
in Tonopah Monday, were taken to
Nevada City, California, for inter-
ment. 1t was decided that the body
be buried in the family plot in the
little town among the Sierra where
the deceased was born and raised.
Impressive funeral services were
held at the Elks' hall by the Elks
and Eagles lodges. A joint service
was conducted.
An unusual tribute was paid Pud-
dy Grimes. a committee including T.
J. Bell, Eugene Howell, Dan j. Robb,
Steve Clark and Hugh H. Brown, rep
resenting the citizens of Tonopah,
preparing the following memorial:
1.-The pople of Tonopah-men ,wo-
men and children loved Puddy
Grimes. He was friend and neighbor
to all of us. When he fell asleep,
the whole community bowed its head
in sadness, and with a feeling that
some of the sunshine and sweetness
of life had departed.
He lived with US for eleven a
and played a big part in the history
of this city and of the new southern
Nevada. His departure leaves an
empty place in the social life OF the
community which no mar can fill

strength of his body and all the
c~heerfulneSs OF his big heart, to re-

NYE COUNTY SHERIFF. VICTIM
OF SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Sheriff Ed Malley, while campaign.
ing with a party of Democratic can
didates in the southern part of the
county, met with an unfortunate ac-
cident that resulted In the subse-
quent amputaton of his right arm.
In the automobile with Malley at
the time the accident occurred were
Judge Sanders, Frank Mannix, Henry
c. Schmidt, Harlan AGREE, w. A.
Marsh AL. Vincent and Otto Wise, the
last named driving the machine.
The party arrived at Beatty dur
ing the noon hour and after having
lunch, started from the hotel to a
store. The machine stopped in front
of the store and Malley was the first
to alight. He had been riding in
the swing seat and directly In
front of him and leaning against the
front seat was a 12-guage shotgun
that had been borrowed at Spring
dale when the idea was suggested
that it might be possible to Kill a few
ducks In that region.
Several lap robes were also scat
tered about the machine floor. In
stepping from the tonneau to the
ground the shotgun was discharged
the load of shot entering Malley's
right arm, just above the elbow. and
emerging several inches below the
shoulder.
Malley was eognizant of the Sc
rious nature Of the injury and realiz-
ed that he must loose his arm.
However. the physicians made every
effort to prevent the a~mputation. but
at . o'clock Saturday night 1t was
seen that there was no hope of saw
ing the arm. The operation va per-
formed by Drs. Grigsby and Melon
nell Of Tonopah and Turner and Nc
Carly of Goldneld.
The arm was removed about three
inches below the shoulder.

REsCURERS ACCIDENTLY CAUSE
DEATH OF IMPRISONED MINER

For fifteen agonized hours George
RYDER lay at the bottom of the chute
in an old working of the
mine. saws the Carson City News.
Then. as the rescuing party came
and started to let down the ladder,
II was a cloud of muck let loose by
the movements above that slid down
upon him and suffocated him before
his comrades could dig him out.
These were the facts brought out
by the coroner's inquest and the YER
dict which was rendered.
Miners shudder as they think OF
what Ryder must have endured In
body and mind. Evidently he had
made a misstep in going through the
stope on his way out from the Cler-
mont. Rock and muck had given
way and slid down with him into
the chute. He must have lain there
not daring to move and probably in
jured by the fall. expecting at any
moment that another slide would
take place.
Then, after fifteen hours of this
suspense the testimony at the in
quest was, he caught sight of the
searchers' lights and called out for
help. AS they stood over the chute,
already the earth began to give and
the rocks ratified as they slid.
Look out" he called, and don't
use the ladder. Drop a rope"
II was too late. The rocks rolled
down. There were a few faint cries
and then silence. The s%earchers
knew what it meant. They went 10
work at once and men were lower
ed rown and dug for life. Ryder's
hand sticking out from the rock
fall, told where his body was. and
then they drew him out, dead.
Ryder is survived by a wife and
two small children.

was followed by a general clearing Of
the pier. where several hundred persons
still fingered. waiting for others to de-
bark from the Carpathia.
The lights were turned and by o'clock
the pier had been closed. Police lines
were still maintained in front of the pier
and a number of taxicabs and other auto
mobiles still awaited passengers. The
action of the Cunard Line officials in clos
