Afforded entertainment for a lively
mining camp.
Old-timers here associate the for
gotten piano with a romance and a
tragedy.
As the story goes, a young girl,
talented in music, came from an east
ern State to visit in Lundy, and the
entire camp was attracted by the won
derful melodies which she produced
upon that, the only piano for zoo
miles around. Among others came
a gambler of the fascinating. dandy
type of early California days. I'm
m~ediately he laid siege to the girls
affections and soon carried her away
to San Francisco rs his bride.
Only a few months later word came
back to Lundy that the girl of the
piano was dead-murdered; and that
her gambler husband was gone and
with him a small fortune belonging
to his wife.
Thereafter the piano fell into dis
use and when the people Of Lundy.
one after another. departed from
their belongings. 1t was left behind.
