 mas morning.
 Holland was a miner all his life. Of
 late years he has confined his activi- ties to some claims close in to the Warren District. Shortly before ! Christmas he went to work for the Juniper Flats Gold Mining Company. He lived in a tent and refused to come in to the bunk house when the
 Christmas storm struck that region of the county.
 When it became apparent that the camp was in for a good storm, the foreman on the work proposed to Hol- land that he come in for the night. The Scouts tent was on the bleak side of a hill. exposed to the full rigor
 of the wind and snow. Holland is re- 'orted to have said to the proposal: 'I would rather stay in my tent to- light than have the best bed in Bis bee"

 Belongings and the man himself, was 'iteIally picked up and hurled about
 POO feet into the rocky gulch below. 'Ne foreman found the injured man nd brought him into Bisbee. He was 'ound to have a broken collar bone and internal injuries. He died as a -esult of them.

 American of his time.
 In the early days of the Warren District Holland owned various pieces

 owed them to go for lack of assess ment work. He also owned some property now owned by the C. X A. Company and allowed it to get away from him in the same manner. Though Holland lived in a period in the state of Arizona when a mans
 gun was his best friend, he has never
 been known, according to many old timers in the city, to pack a gun. He
 was easy tempered and was one of
 the few real. old timers who enjoyed
 the distinction of being a man with
 out fear and at the same time a man
 who avoided trouble with anyone. His
