FELL OVER BALUSTRADE

"old John" Bredner. as he was
generally known. died last night
at the county hospital from injuries
received in falling over the ban
nisters at the building that he
called home. He was not so old
as years go-only 58-but he had
lived a Woodworking life and look
ed much older than is age. He
had done odd jobs around town for
some time. but had not worked
steadily. He was a Scotchman
and reticent about himself at all
times. No romance was said to
have entered into his history. He
simply followed the gold camps and
was said 10 have come to Nevada
and to Goldfield frola California

Tuscarora had another fire yes

to the Tu carora Mines company,
YVES burned. The fire was discov-
cred about o'clock in the morning
and is thought to he the work of
an incendiary. The loss is placed
at $4,000. Saeebrush is the prin-
cipal fuel at the Tuscarora mines
and the loss is a severe one to the
mining company. If the sagebrush
was set on fire every good citizen
hopes the guilty party may be
caught and punished.
