HOULE,M MINER,
ANSWERS THE CALL

W. J. Houle. Familiarity known as
"Indan Bill died at the White Pine
Genral hospital last Monday. He was
IS years of age and death was due 10
pneumonia.
Indian Bill" was one of the we'll
known characters around Ely for a
number of years. He was one of the
pioneers of Montana and came to Ne
yada during the boom days of the min
ing industry in this section.
He was a typical miner and pros
pector. While during his lifetime he
at different times engaged in other
lines of business the hills were always
reckoning to him and he invariably re-
spended to the call. He had recently
been employed by the Lake Valley
Mining Company and came to Ely a few
days ago to enjoy himself in the min
er's way. Turning into cash his check
which he received for his labor at the
Lake Valley mine, Bill proceeded TO
mingle with his friends and look on
the bright side of life. He complained
TO some of his friends of not feeling
well and was advised to go TO a warm
room, where he might be taken care
of. Like all others of his stamp he
was not inclined to leave the bright
lights for the seelusion of a room, and
to these who advised him to take bet
that he had stuck 1t out for many years
and thought he could do likewise now.
He did not seem to appreciate the fact
that his advanced years were a handi.
cap to him when attacked with what
he only regarded as a heavy cold.
Sunday evening he went to the
Plaza hotel, where he secured a room,
and at the time remarked that be was
feeling quite Ill. Monday sounds were
heard coming from his room, and when
the landlady went to see II he was suf-
fering, found him to be in a serious
condition. DR.. w. w. Cook was i'm.
mediately summoned and at once or
dered Bill removed TO the General hos
pital. Every effort vas made to relieve
his condition but the disease had made
such Roadway that it was impossible
TO check 1t and death occurred about
4 o'clock that afternoon.
So far as known he has no relatives
living. In any event he did not make
known the m or addresses of any,
and the funeral services took place
from the Wilson-Bates mortuary
Wednesday afternoon. Interment was
in Ely cemetery.

OLD FAMILIAR INDIAN
PASSES TO REWARD

Indian Sam, perhaps the Oldest Of
his tribe in White Pine county, was
found dead in his little old wiekeup
in the canyon south of the courthouse
last Sunday.
Like others among the older Indians
his age was not known. but the old
timers agree that he had well passed
the century mark.
During the boom days in Osceola he
was known as an old Indian. Those
who did not happen TO know him by
the name of Indian Sam" will recall
him as the poor old fellow who walked
in a stopped position with the aid of
a cane. For a long period he was al
ways followed by two dogs, one of
which was destroyed during the sum
mel when a number of the animals in
the city were sticken with the rabies.
He lived principally on what he
could pick up around the restaurants
and garbage cans but would occasion
ally call at some of the residences,
where he was always treated kindly
and given food. He was a frequent
caller at the Hull and Dederich homes,
where he would in his feeble way at
tempt TO chop kindling and the like
at his own free will and where he was
always given good, wholesome food
when he called.
He was last seen alive Saturday
when an Indian woman called at his
c1anfsIty ftrafeIa1 rf,tta.o a,l 90 a.
him some food. He then seemed to be
in a cheerful mood, but his remarks
indicated that he realized be had
lived more than the allotted span and
would soon journey to the happy hunt
ing grounds. His prophesy was full.
filed when his l~ifeless body was found
Monday. Coroner d. C. Mcdonald was
notified and made a personal inspec.
ton OF the body as well as the prem
ises. There was not a shadow of doubt
but that Sam had passed away as the
result of general disability which
naturally comes at his stage in life,
and a coroner's inquest was therefore
deemed unnecessary.
He is said to have had a varied
career in his younger days and at one
time became involved in a serious al
~tercation with one of the white race.
The difficulties arose over domestic
affairs and Sam disappeared for sew
eral years. When he returned in later
years no attempt was made to bring
him TO an accounting for having in the
methods employed by his race en-
forced the law of man as he knew il.
His death was a source of considera-
bic criticism as TO the manner in which
the aged Indians are neglected. Large
sums of money are appropriated by
the government each year for the care
Of those who first inhabited the eoun-
try, and it would seem that such as
poor old Sam should receive better at
tention.
The remains were buried last Mon
day.

was not exercised by the custodian his
of the crime. The matter of assuming
an attitude that would not attract at
tention was thoroughly discussed. par
ticularly between Mandarich and Lum-
bert within the hearing of Pecanieh. Ii
was agreed that even Pecanich himself
should not open or GRANGE in the diree-
ton of the box. but get it in a secluded
spot and there let it rest until Lumbert
returned from Tonopah with the gold
to add to it. All this being duly ar
ranged Pecanich with the box securely
in his possession went TO Ruth, where
he carried out all the instructions UNI
til last Wednesday.
About t%wenty-one days having then
elapsed Peeanich evidently thought it
was time for the chickens to be hatch
ed. They perhaps would have been if
the fruit had not been overripe. Lum-
bert not having returned Pecanich,
even at the risk of a breach of the sol
emn agreement he had entered into,
opened the costly box, which he found
then to contain only two copies of
magazines, in neither of which he
found stories as interesting as the one
which had just been largely written
around himself.
Pecanieh then came to Ely and
sought Counsellor Anthony Zurich,
who is we'll known for his ability to I'M
tangle complicated affairs. When the
local counsellor learned of the part
played by Pecanich in the mysterious
plot he told his client that the only
fault he saw with the play was that
Sheriff Nicholson had not been as
signed to an important role at an
earlier stage. Later, though, the serv-
ices of the sheriff were sought and eff
fort is now being made to have the two
stars returned to Ely for the purpose
of staging another performance along
different lines.

trunk in Tonopah. Naturally that was
a heavy load for in the weak physi.
cal condition of the overburdened
nephew to carry about. He explained
that he would go to Tonopah and re-
turn with the treasure in a few days.
The u~neducated nephew then desir.
ed to be assured of the responsibility
of the man who had agreed to assume
the task of having the money safely
delivered to the beneficiary in the old
country. Due to his inability to read
or write or to understand the language
of this country, in which he was a
stranger, he suggested that all re-
sponsible men naturally had money.
His acquaintance with M~andarich, who
had thus far served only in the intro
duction, was only slight and as a wit
ness TO the transaction he, too, should
show that he was responsible. Man.
darieh then left the room to go to his
apartments in the hotel, which he rep
resented to Pecanich was room No. 30.

all while in Ely it was probably in
room 80 while his associates kept an
eye to the keyhole watching for the
approach of an officer. Soon Mandar-
ich returned to room 5 and displayed
what appeared to be a roll of 81, 900
in real money. This the villain exam
ined and expressed himself as being
satisfied with it as well as with the
responsibility of Mandarich.
Then came the acid test as TO the
produced. After some conversation he
produced a bank book showing that
he had 1900 in a local bank. The un-
educated man charged in the first in.
stance with the care of the large sum
was unable to understand anything
from a bank book, and explained that
il was because of his recent arrival in
this country and lack of familiarity
with the language and customs that he
sought some other of his countrymen
to assist him. He could only under
stand when he saw real money. The
proceedings had then reached the stage
where small matters were not to in
t~erfere. Pecanich went to the bank
and drew out his entire roll, the rubber
band with it.. When the genial teller
at the bank inquired why such a valued
customer was drawing out his entire
deposit with one stroke of the pen Pc
canich eyaded the question but in a
measure conveyed the impression that
he was somewhat considering going
on a long journey. This may have been
kindled by a spark of sincerity.
Returning to the hotel room which
resembled the United States mint Pc.
canich displayed his roll containing
3, ZOO in real money. This when criti-
cally examined satisfied the man who
IA about to collapse under the strain,
and with an air of confidence becoming
"A confidence man he placed the 1877
in the box with the $46, 600, may be,
and securely closing up the treasure a
little later delivered it TO Pecanich.
The man then in custody of the box
was duly cautioned as to the great re-
sponsibility which he had undertaken.
1t was pointed out that should any un-
scrupulous person learn of the great
value the box contained robbery would
undoubtedly follow, and If due care

Prayer.

More things are wrought by prayer
than this world dreams Of. Where
fore, let thy voice rise like a fountain
for me night and day. For what are
men better than sheep or goats that
nourish a blind life within the brain.
If, knowing God, they lift not hands
of prayer both for themselves and
those who call them friend? For so the
whole round earth Is every way bound
by gold chains about the feet of God.
Alfred Tennyson.
