Mysterious Death of Mrs. King
IL

vi CC1lSOO1O NSIOlNs
The burial Of Mrs. King was
quiet affair. Everybody took it for
granted that the woman killed her
self. She was buried in Chicago,
and that ended the matter until some
anonymous letter writer from Con-
cord sent a letter to the district at
torney's office in New York that a
murder had been committed and that
politics shut it up. That was the
match that fired the barn. Then the
New York papers got busy and Chi
cago papers got busy, and if there
was ever mystery piling on top OF
mystery it is in this case, and moth
ing tangible is yet in sight. Castor
Means, now accused in the public
mind of being guilty Of taking he1
off, hasn't been arrested because
there is nothing to warrant the ar
rest. The lawyers are busy looking
out for property interests; newspa
pers have sent their bright youns
men to Concord; the picture maker
have been busy; tr tree next to Tn
nring and the automobile and tn
lady's hat all have been shown i
print, and reckless writer's have see1

there is no doubt that out of al

CONDUCTOR PUGH
DIES AT LONG BEACH

Mr.. U. G. Pugh, who for sevedal
years ran on the motor OF the Nevada
Copper Belt railroad, died last Satur-
day at Long Beach, Southern Cali
fornia.
His wife and daughters have been
with him for some time since he went
to California several months ago for
the benefit of his failing health.
Having expressed a wish to be
buried at his old home in Colorado,
where his brothers and sisters sur
vive him, his body was taken by the
beieaved family to Pueblo, in that
state, for interment.
For a year or two before he gave
up and went to California, Mr.. Pugh's
health was steadily failing, but he
stuck to his post in spite of his suf-
fering. A man of slight physique,
his constitution was unable to with
stand the affection from which he suf-

relieved by death.
Surviving him are brothers and sis

his wife and daughters, Misses Gladys
and Francis Pugh, both of whom arc
graduates of Lyon County High
School
His uniform courtesy and kindly
manners made many warm friends
among his neighbors, fellow towns
men and patrons of the road, all O
whom learned of his death with keer
and sincere sorrow.
