Service and Sacrifice.

The success of the second Liberty
Loan campaign in the Valley is
splendid tribute TO the banks, the or
ganizations and the individuals who
Joined hands one week before the
close of the time limit for the sale
OF the bonds. and carried the fight
from almost certain failure to a graf
flying success.
When, exactly one week before the
close of the campaign, Imperial eoun-
tv received for the first time its quo
IA to be raised, as assigned by the
Federal district at San Francisco, the
task. with the tine at hand, seemed
impossible.
Imperial county's quota was SILL,
COO. On the day the campaign start
ga scarcely more than Sl0o.oo0 had
faen subscribed. On last Saturda!
evening, week after, when the cam
paign was closed, the quota had been
oyersubscribed by $4,000.
The success of the campaign, not
only in Imperial county, but through
cut the nation, brings out one I'M
portant fact in relation to the entire
s-ar work played, and to be playet
by those remaining within the United
States while our troops are fighting
the blood-soaked fields of France
md this fact is that organization

James T. Mccarthy Of This City Re-
ceives Word Of His Sudden De-
~ = .,
mise in West Last
Week.
WAS FAMILIAR FIGURE
Mr.. Mccarthy Had Been Prospector
In Western Country and
Was Well Known
There.

Anthony J. Mccarthy, an uncle or
James T. Mccarthy of this city was
| found dead in his cabin near Anacon-
da, Montana. The following from the
Anaconda Standard of March 81 tells
Of the death: ~f
Anthony J. Mccarthy, native of
| Ireland and a pioneer OF Anaconda
and the mining districts in its vicinity,
was found dead yesterday at his cabin
on the Chrysolite claim in the Blue
Eyed Nellie district above Browns
quarry. The body was dressed and
| lying on the bed, and apparently
death had come about a week ago..
| Some ten or twelve days since MT.
Mccarthy had been seen last. He had
come, as was his custom, to the
Priebe home to get his mail. which
was left with the Priebes at the road
side by the Gable stage. At that time
| he had said that he was out Of 2ota-
toes, and had taken home with him
sack from the Priebe home, which is
about a mile and a half from his own,
which is higher up on the hillside
When he failed to appear again for
| his mail. although letter was await
| ing him, it was feared that he might
have met with an accident, and yes
terday William Priebe climbed to the
cabin to Investigate. He found the
lifeless body, and at once notified the
coroner When the officer arrived TO
| investigate with others, he found the
sack Of potatoes unopened, and judged
THAT death must have come soon after
his return home, where he lived
alone. A hemorrhage was evidently
the cause of death.
Mr.. Mccarthy was one of the most
picturesque characters of this part OF
the country. He was native or Ire
LAND, ~ years old, and came to Mon
tana fifty-three years ago. In the ola
days of open games, he was faro
!dealer, and later became interested IN
prospecting He had worked for years
lin the district west of Anaconda. ana
on one claim he sunk a shaft 300 feet
!unaided, lowering the bucket. filling II
and climbing it to hoist the rock by
windlass. He had been in that dis
trict since 1884 and among his claims
were the Katie Darling, Horn Silver,
Whale, Fourth Of July and CrysolitH
The letter which was waiting ior
him was opened and proved to be from
| a nephew, James T. Mccarthy, bus
mess man of Keokuls, Iowa. 1t indi-
Gated that the mother of the writer
| is also living in the Iowa city. 1t Is
thought that there is another nephew
| in Seattle, but he had not yet been
| located last night.
