Well, it's all over but the shout
ing and there is 20 noise. to speak Of,
around Palisade. Carlin came down
and looked US over and handed us
an awful drubbing. making it one a
piece with a shade on their side. The
jinks of the new clothes was in evil
dence, our boys playing a very rag
ged game, and the fact we had but
one pitcher helped things along.
The score keeper left when it stood
40 to 4 and we hope no one will ever
be cruel enough to tell how many
runs they got. They say they did
not practice by lamp light. Anyway
they p~racticed. and with the new
lineup are a fairly strong team. Will
strengthen our line a little before
we tackle them for the rubber.

". \. sWEENErs PASSING
Brief Sketch of Life and Politi-
cal Career of the Deceased
Pioneer

In ex-senator w. H. Sweeney's
passing to the Great Beyond a unique
character has been called, for from
childhood he has shown an indom-
table will that few possess. When
only a lad of 10 years he left Jersey
vile, Illinois, the home where he was
born. and followed an older brother
to North San Juan, California. TAX
ing offense at some trivial happening
in the home he left it and grewto
manhood in the West, with which he
was strongly Unidentified.
At Is years of age he came to Me-
vada. before it was a State, and To-
Gated at Austin, where he engaged
in teaming and hauling-a line Of oc-
cupation that he followed when ac-
lively employed throughout his sue
ceeding years. In 1868 he Joined the
rush to White Pine and engaged in
the grain and feed business at Ham
ilton. The following year he came
to Eureka and for as years has con-
tinuously made this his home. He
first followed his favored business
the livery and stage business, having
stage lines running from Eureka to
Cherry Creek and Schelbourne. :
He was a politician through and
through, for whenever he sought an
office he never left a stone unturned
to win out, and it can be said to his
determination of purpose that he al
ways won. He was Sheriff of Eu-
reka County for six terms-12 years
at intervals. his first election be-
ing in 1883. In 1909 he was appoint
ed Commissioner of Eureka County
to fill a vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of M. E. Thomas. At the
general election in 1910he was elected
State Senator for term of fouryears.
and had his health permitted, he
would have been a candidate for re-
election last Fall.
While he has not enjoyed good
health for a number of years, for
the past year he has been gradually
failing until his death came Saturday
morning. April 10, when an active
and energetic career was ended.
Besides his widow here he is sur
vived by two brothers. j. j. Sweeney
of Houston, Texas, and Patrick
Sweeney of. Oakland, California. and
two half sisters, Mrs. Annie Leary
and Mrs. Maggie Beatty. both of
Springfield. Illinois.
The funeral vas held from his hate
residence on Mob Hill on Monday
afternoon. Judge Peter Breen con-
Quoting the burial services. Mrs. j.
B. McNaughton and Miss Annie
Lucey sang LEAD. Kindly Light"
at the home. and Nearer, My God.
To Thee" at the grave. Following
the singing of this hymn, Judge
Breen made a few eulogistic remarks
of the deceased and briefly reviewed
his life and long residence in eastern
Nevada. The interment was in the
Catholic cemetery, where a large
number of friends of the deceased
and the family assembled and assist
ed in laying the body to rest.
