This year we were congratulating ourselves upon being free from any such calamity, when on Sunday morning the city was startled by the report that a double tragedy had occurred in a house on No. 1 Hill. It appears that Robert Anderson, who had until recently been employed as a mine foreman at Lion, had been spending several days in the city, his wife having been visiting with her brother-in-law, James Miller, at No. 1 Hill. On Sunday morning Anderson called at the house to see his wife, and what actually transpired is not known, but it is surmised the two must have quarreled. Anderson drew a gun and shot the woman in the head, inflicting a dangerous wound, and then turned the gun on himself. Anderson died instantly and his wife was removed to the hospital. From the first little hope was entertained of her recovery, and she passed away on Wednesday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were well known in this city, and the double tragedy has caused a painful sensation. Four children are left to mourn the tragic end of their parents.

Anderson had shot his wife and then turned the fun on himself and committed suicide. The deed was committed in the home of Mrs. Anderson’s sister, Mrs. James Miller, at 420 1st street, shortly before nine o’clock in the morning.

Mr. Anderson went to the Miller home on Sunday morning and renewed the quarrel. During the controversy he pulled out a 38 calibre revolver and shot Mrs. Anderson, the bullet striking the left cheek bone and ranging upward. He then turned the gun on himself and placed the muzzle in his mouth and fired, the bullet taking an upward course into the brain, causing instant death. Mrs. Anderson was immediately taken to the hospital where she suffered until Wednesday morning, when her death ended the double tragedy.

As we go to press, we could learn no particulars of funeral arrangements. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 7 February 12, 1916 SUDDEN DEATH OF ROBERT FITTON The people of Rock Springs were inexpressibly shocked yesterday morning to learn that Robert Fitton had passed away about four o’clock after an illness of only a few hours duration, from heart trouble. Mr. Fitton had not been well for the past week but was on the street on Thursday evening, and his friends who had seen him only a few hours previous could scarcely realize that he was dead. The shock to his family was extreme and Mrs. Fitton has been prostrated in consequence. Robert Fitton was born in Manchester, England, Dec. 18th, 1870. He served his apprenticeship to the dry goods business in England and came to this country when twenty years of age. He spent one year in Boston, after which he came to Lincoln, Neb. He was married to Miss Emma C. Fielder, at Washington, Kansas on August 21st 1893. Four children were born to this union, the eldest dying in infancy. Those living are Edna, Robert Jr., and Bessie. The past sixteen years of his life were spent in Wyoming, having had the management of stores in Cheyenne, Rawlins and the past three years in Rock Springs. In this city he was first with J.P. McDermott Co., and for the past year and a half with the Union Mercantile Co., where he has done much to build up the dry goods department. He was a member of Cheyenne Lodge B.P.O.E. 660, and was also a member of the Modern Brotherhood of America, No. 1038, of Ft. Collins. Besides his immediate family he leaves a mother, who is critically ill in Lincoln, Neb., three brothers, who reside in Lincoln and one sister, at Los Angeles, Calif. The latter is expected here for the funeral, which will be held from the Elks Home, at 3 o’clock on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Fitton had made a great many friends since coming to Rock Springs and all unite in extending their sympathy to his bereaved family in their great sorrow. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 7 February 12, 1916 MRS.

Before he died Cordova said that he had gone to the Chinese restaurant to get something to eat and then went to the depot to get a drink. As he came out of the depot Busch approached him and asked him where he was going. Cordova told the officer that he had just gone into the depot to get a drink and Busch commanded him to throw up his hands, which he did. Busch then poked him in the stomach with the gun and told him to put them up higher. He then searched him and found nothing but a small pocket knife. Cordova turned to walk away and Busch fired a shot at him, the bullet passing entirely through his body from the left side and lodging in his elbow on the right side. Busch immediately gave himself up to night marshal Burns and was turned over to the County officers and place in jail. He refuses to make any statement in regard to the shooting but we hear that the Mexican drew a gun on him and that he shot in self defense. He is also said to have stated that Mexicans had threatened him before. Cordova was taken to the hospital but he had no chance to live and he died at about 7:30 this morning. Cordova was a young man, about 22 years of age and had been around Rawlins for some time past and has worked for Sheriff Rivers, who states that Cordova was a quiet unassuming young fellow.—Carbon County Journal. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 13 February 18, 1916 Robert Fitton’s Funeral The funeral of Robert Fitton occurred at Elk’s home on Monday morning at 10 o’clock and was largely attended by the members of local lodge, and by his many friends in the city, and a number attended from Green River. Rev. T.J. Tramel of the Methodist church preached the sermon. Left to mourn his loss are his wife, two daughters and a son, who have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends. Deceased was well and favorably known, he having made a host of friends during his residence here. His first business association was at the J.P. McDermott Company store, and at the time of his death was manager of the Union Mercantile company dry goods department. Mrs. S. Woodward of Lincola, Nebraska, Mrs. Anna Hesley of Los Angeles, California, sisters of the deceased, and Mrs. Graham of Laramie, attended the funeral. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 13 February 18, 1916 Died of Scarlet Fever Mr. and Mrs. Rancaglio are mourning the loss of one of their daughters, seven years old, who died on Tuesday morning of scarlet fever.

The accident occurred about three o’clock on Elk street near the Wyoming Beer company cellar. Our information is meager but we understand the car was driven by Dan Mosher. It is a very sad and deplorable accident. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 8 February 19, 1916 FOUR YEAR OLD BOY KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE The second fatal automobile accident occurred in Rock Springs about three o’clock on Friday afternoon, when a machine driven by Ben Mosure, of Lion, ran over and instantly killed the little four year old son of Mrs. Emma Davis. The little boy, with two companions, was playing in the street about half way between the Rock Springs Lumber Co. and the bridge. When they saw the automobile approaching the three scattered. Two of the boys ran to opposite sides of the street and narrowly escaped being struck by the car, but the Davis child did not follow either of his companions and was struck by the car, the wheels passing over his head. The child was picked up and almost immediately taken to a physician’s office, but life was extinct. As soon as Mr. Mosure, who was driving the car, realized that he had run over and killed a child he turned his car and drove to the city hall where he gave himself up to the Deputy Sheriff. He was locked up and an investigation is being made. It seems difficult to get an accurate report of the accident, as there seem to have been few, if any, witnesses and the two small companions of the victim are unable to speak English. Everyone regrets that another such accident should have occurred here, and a great deal of sympathy is expressed. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 8 February 19, 1916 FUNERAL OF ROBERT FITTON HELD ON MONDAY AFTERNOON The funeral of Robert Fitton was held at the Elk’s Home at ten o’clock on Monday, the hour having been changed to await the arrival of his sister from Los Angeles.

The deceased was born in Tredegar, Monmouthshire, Wales, and grew to manhood in that country, coming to America in 1889. He came directly to Rock Springs and had lived here about 27 years. In 1883 he was married to Miss Sarah Ann Griffiths, the only sister of the late Morgan Griffths, and three daughters were born to them. They are Mrs. W.K. Glasgow of Clarinda, Iowa; and Mrs. Ben Lewis and Miss Elizabeth Morgan of this city. Mr. Moran had just passed his 59th birthday on Feb. 12th, and while he was not greatly advanced in years his health had been failing for a long time, so that his friends had little hope of his recovery from the beginning of his illness. He was a kind friend and a good neighbor, and his death causes much sadness among his old friends and associates. The funeral was held from the home on Thursday afternoon and was conducted by Rev. S.A Webber, of the Congregational church. The music was unusually beautiful, several old Welsh hymns being sung by a Welsh choir in their native tongue.

The accident occurred on forty-one plane, eight south entry, and was caused by the unfortunate young man coming in contact with a trolley wire.

The funeral will take place from his home 712 Eleventh street, on Sunday afternoon, at one thirty o’clock, under the direction of Local 2293 of the U.M.W. of A., of which local the deceased was a member. --- Rock Springs Adviser-News no. 32 March 02, 1916 Tragic Death of a Young Wife Mrs. Geary Dies Suddenly of Apoplexy After Only a Few Weeks of Wedded Happiness Radiant in the happiness of a few blissful weeks of happy wedded life, Mrs. Lloyd Geary, on last evening entertained a few of her neighbor ladies, she being in fact the life of t he neighborly gathering, while they merrily chatted and plied the needle doing fancy work. While at a late hour, she in a merry, light-hearted manner bade them good night, little did the departing friends dream, that the morning would find that life had fled from such a cheerful, happy mortal. Such as unthought of and deplorable thing, however, happened, for as the young husband returned to his home this morning for his night’s labor at the round house, his mind full of love and tenderness for his young wife, he found the little woman who usually greeted his home coming with love and encouragement, cold in death. From the information that we are able to glean at this time, the young woman was taken suddenly ill after retiring, and had got out of bed, as when found on the floor she was attired in only her night dress and house slippers. Her death is supposed to have been due to apoplexy. The remains were removed to Ace’s Undertaking Parlors, from whence they will be shipped Saturday to Provo, Utah for burial. Mrs. Geary’s maiden name was Lola Vincent, and her untimely demise is mourned by many, while the sympathy of the entire community is extended the heart broken young husband. --- Rock Springs Adviser-News no. 32 March 02, 1916 Death of Little Girl Lena, the six year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Sturholm, died at the hospital last Thursday night after an illness of over three weeks, from a complication of diseases.

Services were conducted in the North Side Catholic church. --- Rock Springs Adviser-News no. 32 March 02, 1916 Scarlet Fever Causes Two Deaths in One Family Out of three cases of scarlet fever in Superior, two have proved fatal. Both deaths have occurred in the family of Mr. and Mrs. George Jones. On Feb. 13 their daughter, Gladys May, eight years of age contracted the disease and in spite of the best of medical attention and careful nursing died on the evening of the 17th. One the same day as the death of her sister, the youngest daughter, Mildred Marguerite, was stricken with the fever and although every precaution had been taken and every effort was made to check the disease, all proved to be in vain and the little one quietly passed away about two o’clock on the afternoon of Feb. 22nd. Both children were of a bright disposition and were loved by all who knew them. They will be greatly missed by their many friends and especially amidst the family. The loss of two children within such a limited time has proved such a shock to Mr. and Mrs. Jones that the latter is almost prostrated. Their suffering and loneliness has been intensified by the malignant character of the disease, which made it impossible for friends and neighbors to render much assistance. Expressions of condolence and floral tokens were received however, which plainly show that the whole neighborhood feel the warmest sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Jones in their sad loss. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 10 March 04, 1916 SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. LLOYD GEARY The people of Rock Springs were very greatly shocked on Thursday morning to learn that Mrs. Lloyd Geary had passed away during the preceding night. Mrs. Geary seemed to have been in her usual health the evening previous, although she had complained of a slight headache. One or two of her friends had spent the evening with her and she bid them a cheerful farewell when they departed. When her husband returned from his work at the round house about four o’clock in the morning, he found his wife dead on the floor. She had evidently felt ill after retiring and had started to get up, when her death occurred. Death was probably caused by the rupture of a blood vessel on the brain. Mrs. Geary was formerly Miss Lola Vincent and came to Rock Springs about a year ago. Only about six weeks ago she was married to Mr. Lloyd Geary and they had just gone to housekeeping amid the good wishes of all who knew them. The terrible tragedy of her death at this time has almost prostrated her husband and friends. She leaves a father and a stepmother, and a little son by a former marriage, who reside at Provo, Utah, and two sisters, Mrs. Steve Smith of this city and Mrs. John Stoddard of Reliance. Her body will be shipped to her old home at Provo, Utah, today, where the funeral will be held. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 10 March 04, 1916 Miss Flora Jones has returned from Denver, where she was called by the illness and death of her aunt, Mrs. M.C.

Hunter, known all over Wyoming as travelling salesman for Parrotte, McIntyre & Co., of Chicago, fell in the aisle and in fifteen minutes was dead. The death of the well known salesman occurred at 12:10 o’clock yesterday, shortly after the train had left Granger. Hunter had boarded the train at Rock Springs, apparently hale and hearty, having worked the business district of that town the day before. According to local doctors, the cause of Hunter’s death was acute dilation of the heart. There is a sudden change of altitude between Kemmerer and Granger, which fact may have caused the death.

Her husband had just returned from work and his wife joined him at lunch after which she left the house to visit a neighbor whose child was sick. Returning she made no complaint but lay down on the bed. Her husband who was writing a letter spoke to her but receiving no reply, turned round and saw blood oozing from her lips.

M. Jamieson, met a tragic death last Friday afternoon about 4 o’clock, under the wheels of the wagon he was driving from town to the camp. He left town about 10 o’clock and was within a short distance of Reliance, when the wagon tongue broke. Lander Johnson and Tom Threckold, who were behind, helped him transfer his load to one of Johnson’s wagons, and the trip was resumed. The two companions were quite a little way back and a knoll was between them when the accident happened, but the last time they saw Peterson alive he was standing down on the tongue with a robe rolled up and placed behind his back against the wagon and it is presumed he thought he could handle his four horse team better over the extremely bad roads if he was on the tongue. He must have been bumped off and fell down in front of the wheels, his clothing catching on the singletrees, and to have retained the lines, for the tracks showed the team and wagon to have made two complete circles. He was dragged about fifty yards and the wheels ran over his neck and chin and some of the hair was scraped from his head. Tom Threckold and Lander Johnson found him bruised and bleeding under the wagon and took him out but life was extinct. Threckold came to town to find Mr. Jamieson and the coroner and they went out to the scene of the accident. Kay Peterson, brother of the deceased, had started from the camp at Twenty Mile Knoll, to come to town as he expected his brother home sooner, and had Johnson and Threckold not been along he would have found his brother mangled on the roadway. Deceased was thirty-two years old and was unmarried. He had been foreman for Mr. Jamieson for many years and was a trusted and reliable man. The body was prepared for burial and was shipped Sunday to his home in Ephraim, Utah, accompanied by his brother Kay and Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson. They left on No. 19 and the train was so late they missed connections in Ogden and had to stay over night until 8:15 the following morning. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 17 March 17, 1916 Dies of Apoplexy Mrs. Joseph Hasson died suddenly Wednesday morning just a short time before noon.

Andrew Bonduras was shot dead in his own home by Resto Patrich, alias Resto Yallich. On Wednesday night Bonduras was sitting in his home along with is wife, his sister-in-law, Annie Angelovich, and several friends. Bonduras and his sister-in-law were playing cards when a knock came to the door. The visitor was asked to come in and Yallich entered the room. From what we can learn, Yallich had previously been paying unwelcome attention to Annie Angelovich. On entering he was politely asked to take a seat but he refused, saying he was only to stay a minute, and approaching Miss Angelovich asked why she didn’t come and work at the boarding house where he was staying. Miss Angelovich replied that she had plenty of work at home. He then urged her to come and work at his boarding house and was told that she didn’t require to go out and work. Yallich then lost his temper, kicked the girl on the leg and struck her on the head. The girl rushed into an adjoining room and the people present rose to try to restrain Yallich. Yallich then appeared to lose his head altogether. He backed up to the door, drew a gun and fired three shots into the room. Two of the shots struck Bonduras one in the stomach and one under the left arm. Yallich then rushed out of the house and apparently appalled at what he had done went straight to Constable Robinson and gave himself up, saying he had killed Andrew Bonduras. He also handed over a 25 calibre Colt automatic with three shells in the magazine and one in the barrel. In the meantime a doctor had been summoned to attend the injured man but he was dead before the doctor arrived. Constable Robinson, fearing a demonstration, at once brought Yallich to Rock Springs and handed him over to Deputy Sheriff Dankowski who had him placed in the city jail. The body of Bonduras was brought the same evening to Rock Springs and taken to the City Undertaking Parlors. Andrew Bonduras lived for many years in Rock Springs and was a well known and highly respected citizen. His wife is a daughter of John Angelovich, of Reliance, who also resided for a number of years in this city.

It seems the girl was unwilling and Yollich attempted to strike her and Vandura hit him with a chair. Yollich shot him a couple of times. Vandura is married and is known to be a very quiet man.

RIFE Last Saturday, a telegram was received from San Diego, California, stating that Ed. H. Rife was very seriously ill, with no hope of recovery. A later telegram announced his death, which occurred at 10:40 on Saturday evening, April 1st. These telegrams were a terrible shock to Mr. Rife’s friends in this city, as they were expecting his return about May 1st and it was not known that he was seriously ill. His health had not been good for some time past but his last illness was very sudden and of but a few days duration. The body was brought to this city for burial, arriving here Thursday evening, accompanied by Mrs. Rife and other members of the family. The funeral will be held from the Elk’s Home, on Sunday afternoon at two o’clock. Ed. H. Rife was born in Virginia in 1848 and his early life was spent in that state. He lived for a time in Ohio and in Illinois, but in 1867 decided to try his fortunes in the great west. He went first to Denver, which was at that time little more than a village and conducted what was known as the Rife Market at twenty-third and Larimer street. He erected the first two story brick building in Denver. He always was interested in the growth and progress of Denver, which had been his first western home. In 1875 he left Denver for Wyoming and lived for a time in Laramie, but since sometime in 1876 he has claimed Sweetwater county as his home. He located on the ranch about 50 miles south of this city and entered into the stock business, at which he has had such eminent success. Later he purchased a home in Rock Springs and became interest in many different lines of business but his home ranch has always held the first place in his affections. He was one of the founders of the Rock Springs National Bank and has always been a director in that institution. He later became interested in the Stockgrowers Merc. Co., and has been the president of that company. Beside these, he held many business interests, both in Wyoming and other states. He was for several terms commissioner of Sweetwater county and filled the office to the satisfaction of his constituents. Mr. Rife was a man of kindly, affectionate nature whose strongest characteristic seems to have been his affection for his family and friends. During his early life he had known hardship and poverty and when fortune came to him it was his delight to remember all of his friends who had aided him at any time. He was extremely generous, but was so unostentatious in his good deeds that few people realized how great was their extent. He was extremely loyal to his home community and, whether he happened to be at home or abroad, no project for the good of the community was carried out without his support. It is hard to realize as yet, and only time will show, how deeply he will be missed on every side. Mr. Rife was first married in 1872, his wife dying in October, 1911. Three children survive who were born to this union. They are Mrs. Vie Yarnell, of American Falls, Ida., Mrs. Lee Kidd, of Dodge City, Kan., and Guy Rife, of Rock Springs. He was married on December 10, 1912, to Mrs. Frances C. Doyle, at Galesburg, Ill. Mrs. Rife was an old friend of his youth and their life together has been an extremely happy one. Beside these relatives he is survived by five brothers: Wm. And John Rife, of this county, and three residing in Missouri and one sister, also residing in that state. The whole community mourns with the bereaved family in the loss of one who was so worthy to live. His place amongst us will never be filled. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 15 April 08, 1916 The death of the infant daughter of MR. and Mrs. Steve Kish, of Reliance, occurred last Friday afternoon and the funeral occurred last Sunday. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 15 April 08, 1916 PIANO PLAYER IS KILLED BY TRAIN At day break on Wednesday morning the body of an unknown man was found in the Green River railroad yards.

He died an hour later at the emergency hospital. His wife had hoped that when he arrived at her sister’s home there would be a reconciliation. Sloan had fully made his plans to kill himself. He told a druggist he wished the acid for use about the house. He asked a barber to give him a good shave and a haircut and then went to meet his wife. Before any one could interfere he had drunk the entire potion. In his pocket was found a letter which might explain the cause of the act. It was signed “Anna” and was dated February 17th. “I just want to let you know about last night,” read the letter. “I want you to know the right of it. Those two boys you saw last night were brothers, and you had often heard Peggie speak of them. One of them was fired and cannot get a job. He asked Peggie and I to go for noodles. We went, like crazy folks. You also got those cards. If I had been afraid of your getting them they would not have been there. They were from a fellow in Billings. I have told you the truth and I do not know what more I can do. Don’t be angry because I have not slept all night; that was a foolish trick with all the rest, but I won’t do it any more. Don’t be mean and come home and we will forget all our troubles and get along as we always did. I will not be so foolish again.” Sloan came to Butte 12 years ago from Wyoming, where his father and three sisters survive. Other surviving relatives are two brothers, and Patrick in Butte, and a sister, Mrs. John Logan of Butte. Coroner Lane held an inquest. The Sloan home was at 119 East Second street.

After his death, we learn that he was a man of very good education, of an inventive mind, and had taken out some United States patents—one on a spring wheel of an automobile; also a pantograph for making violins. In his diary he has a list of sixteen inventions. The pantograph was not completed when he was killed. He mentions the name of John E. Green as having a partnership in the interest in an English patent of a spring wheel. Mr. Anderson was well known in and around Rock Springs, having worked at Rock Springs in 1911, at Gebo in 1912, at Reliance for three years, which place he left and started work at Glencoe, where he met his death. His funeral was held Sunday, July 23rd, the only relative at his funeral being a nephew, Mr. Albert Anderson. We learn he has a mother and sister in Sweden, and a sister in Colorado. The U.M.W. of A. local at Glencoe conducted the funeral ceremonies, which were largely attended, as he was well like by all who knew him. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 31 July 29, 1916 JOHN STRINGER TOOK DEADLY POISON—DEAD John Stringer, pioneer of Wyoming, last Tuesday evening, shortly after 6 o’clock, called to his landlady, who lives in the front part of a house near the O.S.L. roundhouse, and asked her to call the coroner and an undertaker, as he had taken a quantity of poison and soon would be no more, says the Kemmerer Republican. The woman, who had been noticing the peculiar actions of Mr. Stringer for several days, became alarmed and hurried over the viaduct to notify the authorities, and when she arrived at the B.H.H. corner, she saw Night Marshal McAllister and Undertaker H.S. Blackler, whom she told of what had happened. Both responded, and when they arrived at the house found Mr. Stringer still conscious, although showing evidence of delirium. Mr. Stringer recognized both men and called them by name, telling them that he had swallowed a large quantity of denatured alcohol. By his side was a quart bottle that had contained the deadly fluid. It was almost empty. At first the marshal and Mr. Blackler were inclined to believe that Mr. Stringer was intoxicated, but soon his actions led them to believe differently, and Mrs. Blackler called Dr. J.R. Marquis by telephone. When Mr. Marquis arrived, Mr. Stringer was unconscious, and the doctor worked heroically for over an hour with a stomach pump, cleaning out the stomach thoroughly, but the effects of the poison had gone further. In the meantime, relatives of the dying man were notified, and they ordered him taken to the hospital, where he passed away at 10:45 o’clock. John Stringer was born in Yorkshire, England, 60 years ago, and emigrated to America when a young man. He had accepted the faith of the Latter-day Saints, and was devout in his religion. He first located in Utah, and about 35 years ago came to Wyoming, living in Rock Springs for a time and then came to this district, where he has since worked in the various mining camps. Among his relatives are one daughter, living in England, several brothers, including William Stringer, of Mountain View; two nieces, Mrs. John McPhie, of Kemmerer; Mrs. Jack Hodges, of Arizona; and a nephew, John Stringer, of Payson, Utah. Interment will be made beside the grave of Mrs. Stringer in the local cemetery, where short services were held at 2 p.m. Friday. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 31 July 29, 1916 GREEK MINER IS KILLED AT SUPERIOR Louis Skoulis, a Greek, 32 years of age, was instantly killed by a fall of rock in D mine at Superior on Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock.

A few weeks ago Mrs. Ward was very sick, but she recovered and last night appeared to be in her usual health. About six o’clock this morning she left her home on 145 J street and went next door to visit her son, James. No sooner had she entered the house than she complained of not felling well and her daughter-in-law induced her to lie down in bed while her husband summoned his brother, S.M. Ward. Within half an hour she passed away with a smile on her lips, both her sons being present. Mrs. Ward was born in Bedford, Leigh, Lancashire, England, nearly 70 years ago, and came to this country in 1881. For four years she resided at Alpine, Utah, and afterwards came to Rock Springs. She was of a kindly and affectionate disposition, always ready to help anyone in trouble, and was beloved by all who knew her. She was the mother of ten children, five of whom survive.

Jimmy was 14 years of age and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Park, of No. 1 Hill. Full of life and activity, he left his parents home a few weeks ago to spend his vacation at the Stanley Crouse ranch, 70 miles south of this city. While playing about the ranch on Saturday afternoon, the boy had eaten some poison berries and turned sick. Mr. Crouse at once rushed him into the city, but Jimmy died on the journey. Jimmy was a bright, strong, intelligent boy; a favorite with his classmates and with everyone who knew him. The funeral was one of the largest that has been held in this city. The church was crowded and the street outside thronged with friends and sympathizers. Rev. S.A Webber gave a most impressive address and at the close there was not a dry eye in the congregation. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, but the most pathetic part was that the pallbearers were boys of Jimmy’s own age and the coffin was followed by his classmates. Mr. and Mrs. Park and family, and their relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community in their sudden and sore bereavement. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 38 August 11, 1916 Death of Estimable Lady Mrs. Alice Ward, died on Thursday morning, August 10th, at 7 o’clock at her home on J street. She had been feeling very well for several weeks and had gone to the picture show the night before and later had gone to the home of her son, James.

She had been quite ill all during the winter with long trouble which was indirectly the cause of her death. Deceased was born at Bedford Lee, Lancashire, England, and was 69 years of age. She came to this country in 1881 and located at Alpine, Utah, coming to Rock Springs in 1885 where she had lived continuously since and where she has raised a large family.

James Park, 13 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Park, was brought home dead from the ranch of Stanley Crouse at Brown’s Park at an early hour on Monday. The lad had gone to the country to spend his vacation and went from the ranch the later part of the week previous, for a little fishing trip. He was very ill on Friday from eating berries which were poisonous and everything was done that was possible. He seemed better for a time but on Sunday became very much worse and it was decided to bring him to town, although it was not known his condition was so serious. Stanley Crouse hitched up his team and started to town, stopping at the Greenhow ranch to rest the boy and to administer to his comfort. They made the start for town and the boy grew worse and was picked up by Mr. Crouse and held in his arms, dying, almost immediately. He drove to the boy’s home where it was his sad task to break the news to his parents and family, who were prostrated with grief. The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Congregational church, Rev. Webber preaching the sermon. The pallbearers were picked from among his schoolmates, and the services were very largely attended by friends of the family and of the young man, who was born and raised in Rock Springs. Beautiful flowers in great profusion attested the affection of his friends. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of the entire community in their hour of bitter trial. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 33 August 12, 1916 SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. RICHARD WARD The people of this community were shocked on Thursday to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. Richard Ward. Mrs. Ward had been in poor health for the past year, but recently had been somewhat better. She seemed to be in her usual health on Thursday morning, when she was taken suddenly ill. Medical aid was summoned, but she passed away before the doctor arrived. Her two sons, James and Sam, were with her when the end came. Mrs. Ward was born in Bedford Leigh, Lancashire, England, October 6th, 1846. She emigrated to America in 1881, locating on her father’s farm near Alpine, Utah, where she lived for four years. She came to Rock Springs in the fall of 1885, and had lived to see its growth from a small camp to the thriving town of today. She was a devoted member of the Latter-day Saints Church, and to the day of her death was an active member of the Woman’s Relief Society, an auxiliary organization of the church. She was for many years an officer of this society, administering to the sick and afflicted and lending aid to the poor and needy. She was a kind and estimable woman, ever thoughtful of those less fortunate than herself, and was loved by all who knew her. She was the mother of ten children, five of whom survive. They are Mrs. James E. Hill, of Phoenix, Ariz.; Mrs. James Davis, of Green River, and James, Lewis and Sam Ward, of this city. They are left with her husband to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother. The funeral services will be held form the L.D.S.

Park, this week, has spread throughout the city and the sympathy of their many friends has gone out to that bereaved household. Their eldest son, James, had been spending part of his vacation at the Crouse ranch near Brideport, Utah, in the southwestern part of the county. While out in the hills last Saturday, he ate some wild berries, which brought on an attack of acute indigestion. Home remedies were tried, and as they seemed to have little effect, Stanley Crouse started with the lad for Rock Springs for medical assistance, on Sunday afternoon. He continued to grow worse as the journey progressed, and passed away shortly before reaching the city. James was born in Rock Springs in February, 1903, and his whole life was spent here. He was a manly, lovable lad, who seems to have made friends with everyone who knew him. He had just finished the seventh grade at school, where he was a bright and intelligent pupil. The funeral services were held from the Congregational Church on Wednesday afternoon, and were very largely attended. Quantities of beautiful flowers showed, in a small measure, the affection in which the boy was held. His schoolmates acted as pallbearers, and bore him to his last resting place. Besides his parents, he leaves seven sisters and one brother, for whom his place can never be filled. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 33 August 12, 1916 LIGHTNING KILLS TWO SHEEPHERDERS AT BAGGS Two Mexican sheepherders were killed by lightning last Thursday, July 27.

Mrs. Patterson passed away at Long Beach, Calif., on Sunday evening, August 13th. The deceased was born November 22nd, 1854. She had been a resident of Wyoming for many years, and, with her husband, had founded the town of Pinedale. It was largely through her efforts that the pretty Congregational church and parsonage were built and that a resident clergyman was secured for that section. Her work in that respect was purely for the progress of Christianity, and not sectarianism, for Mrs. Patterson herself belonged to another denomination. She was also deeply interested in the welfare of the schools, not only of Pinedale, but of the whole northern country. For several years she had been in failing health, and it was in the hope that a change would be beneficial that she left Pinedale and went to a lower altitude. Her condition became alarming only a few days before her death, and her only son, Charles Patterson, of Pinedale, was summoned. He passed through Rock Springs on Friday, August 11th, accompanied by his wife and son, Franklin, on the way to her bedside. They arrived there about an hour after she had passed away. She was laid to rest in Inglewood cemetery, Los Angeles.

Paterson this week received the sad news of the death of his little ten-year-old grandson and namesake, John L. Paterson, from infantile paralysis. The little lad was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Paterson, and resided with his parents on a farm near Ogden, Iowa. He was seemingly in the best of health and had entered school for the fall term when stricken. There were no other cases of the disease in that part of the country and where he could have contracted the disease is a mystery which probably will never be solved. So far, his brothers and sisters are all in good health and have shown no symptoms of the trouble. The home is under strict quarantine, and every precaution is being taken against the spread of the disease. Little John was a great favorite with his grandfather, and Mr. Paterson is greatly grieved over the sad news. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 39 September 23, 1916 SUDDEN DEATH OF MICHAEL QUEALY Mrs. Robert Jack was summoned to Elk Mountain on Wednesday by the news of the sudden death of her father, Michael Quealy.

His family immediately rushed to his assistance, but he passed away within a few minutes. Mr. Quealy was born in Ireland, October 29, 1842. He came to America when a young man, and was married to Catherine Keating in Hannibal, Mo., in 1866. He was one of the pioneer mining men in this section, operating mines in Carbon, Rock Springs and Almy from 1868 to 1882.

The funeral services were held from the home at 10:20 on Wednesday morning, conducted by Rev. Fr. Sagure, and were attended by a large concourse of old friends and neighbors. Quantities of beautiful flowers were sent as last tributes to her memory. Mrs. Lochren was born in Wigan, Lancashire, England in 1868.

Lochren, and their married life has been a very happy one. For several years Mrs. Lochren's health has been failing, and last May it was decided to try a sojourn in California, hoping that the lower altitude might be beneficial. But the change failed to bring any improvement, and her strength had been gradually failing, until she was taken to a hospital, where the end came very suddenly, on September 15th. She leaves a husband and three children, Mrs. F. C. O'Donnell, and Tom and John Hartney; three brothers and one sister in England, and another sister in Illinois. --- Rock Springs Adviser-News no. 10 September 28, 1916 The Oldest Resident Dies at Age of 96 Last Friday morning, Mrs. Marion Mitchell, the oldest resident of our city, died at the age of 96 years. Up to last year Mrs. Mitchell was hale and vigorous considering her great age, and two years ago even took part in the Labor Day celebration. During the past few months, however, she has been very feeble. In the death of Mrs. Mitchell there have been severed another link which binds us with the past. Very few of the hardy pioneers who faced the dangers of the unknown and helped to make this the great state that it is, are now left. Born in Pisshoure, Scotland, on Feb. 14th, 1820, she came to this country when very young and located at Illinois.

Malakar had been in the jail since the 11th of September, and was placed there for safe keeping, owing to his unbalanced mental condition. During his incarceration, Malakar had been confined in one of the cells on the first floor, but all day on Saturday he lay on the floor under his bunk, believing that someone was trying to shoot him. About 6 o’clock Jailor Fred Traher took his supper to him and raised the bunk. He immediately tried to get out of the cell to another place where he thought he would be safe. After he had quieted down a little, he ate a part of his supper and prevailed upon Traher to let him out of the cell and into the corridor. He went from the corridor to the lower floor of the jail, where Traher allowed him to remain until he (Traher) had returned the supper dishes. About 6:30 Traher returned to the jail and called to Malakar to return to his cell. When he did not receive an answer, he descended to the lower cell and found Malakar had committed suicide by hanging. Malakar had placed his head in a chain loop attached to one of the bunks, and slid his feet from under himself, and slowly strangled to death. The chain loop was not more than four feet from the floor, and the dead man was almost sitting on the floor when found. Burial was made in the local cemetery on Monday. --- Rock Springs Adviser-News no. 11 October 05, 1916 John Flora Dies At The Hospital John Flora, 50 years of age died at the hospital on Sunday morning.

Murdock, a rancher, had been fatally injured by a fall from a railroad train at a point about fourteen miles west of Sidney, Neb. On Wednesday a telegram was received stating that Mr. Murdock had died on Tuesday evening. Mr. Murdock was the owner of the River Fork ranch at the junction of the Green and New Fork rivers, and with several of his neighbors was taking a trainload of cattle to the Eastern markets.

Just how the accident happened is not known, as there was no one with him at the time. The facts, as near as can be learned are as follows: Arthur has purchased a .22-calibre rifle of one of his playmates, and his family had objected to his owning or handling the gun. On Tuesday morning he went to the home of one of his boy friends, where he had been keeping the gun, and it was his intention to return the gun to the boy from whom he had purchased it. While in the back yard of the Schnauber home, the gun was in some manner discharged, the bullet passing through his heart and causing instant death. His body was discovered about half after eight o’clock. Arthur was born January 29, 1902, and had spent his whole life in Rock Springs. Nine years ago he met with a dreadful accident, his skull being crushed by the kick of a mule. His recovery from this accident was considered very remarkable. He was a bright boy in school, and was a member of the Junior High School, and his classmates were excused from school to attend the funeral. One of the saddest circumstances of the case was the absence of his mother, who had been in St. Paul, Minn., attending the annual convention of the Danish Sisterhood. She had reached Rawlins on her homeward journey, when the accident occurred. Her home coming was indeed a sad one. Besides his parents, he leaves two brothers, Ernest and Charles, and one sister, Agnes. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to them in their great trouble. The funeral services were held from the Methodist Church on Thursday afternoon, Rev. Jno. F. Clearwaters officiating, and were attended by a large concourse of neighbors and friends. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 42 October 14, 1916 SAD DEATH OF MRS. TOM LEE The death of Mrs. T.M.

So far as we are able to learn, two colored men from the section had been engaged in an altercation previous to the time of the shooting. One of them went into the store in company with “J.D.” on an errand to buy supplies, it is supposed. As he entered the store he told the clerk, Miss Musgrove, to throw up her hands. Just at this time the other man came into the store and the trouble commenced. “J.D.” went in search of an officer and went back immediately with Deputy Marshal Stoddard and they reached the store before the men had opportunity to leave. The deputy marshal ordered the two men to throw up their hands. One is said to have opened fire on the marshal and the other to have started to show fight. Stoddard fired at the two men and they were instantly killed. A big crowd soon gathered and it took Chief of Police Lewis on the job to keep the people out of the store. The bodies were kept until the arrival of the coroner and were then taken to the morgue. Today was pay day and the men all came in from the section to buy clothing and supplies, and these two had imbibed too freely. What the trouble was about we could not learn and whether or not the colored man had an object in going into the store or not, we do not know. But the consensus of opinion is that Stoddard acted in the only possible way, and acted just in time to save himself. The shots were aimed at him but the aim was poor, and the only miraculous thing about it is that he was not killed. Other men from the section were in town and some of them were intoxicated and the authorities were on the lookout to see that no more trouble occurred. The two dead men were strangers to most of the colored people here, and practically nothing can be learned as to the cause of their trouble. What might have been an even more serious affair, in that the young lady might have been injured, was only averted by the quick action of “J.D.” in getting the officer. The young lady was terribly frightened but stayed in the store. She stood for sometime with her hands upheld. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 43 October 21, 1916 DEPUTY MARSHAL JOHN STODDARD KILLS TWO NEGROES IN MILLS’ TEA STORE FRIDAY AFTERNOON About half after three o’clock yesterday afternoon, two unknown negro section men were shot and instantly killed by Deputy Marshal John Stoddard, whom they had attempted to kill. The shooting occurred in Mills’ Tea Store, on K street, where the negroes had gone after a quarrel in the Belmont saloon. The two negroes were employed on the section at Baxter, and had come into town with other section men for their pay checks. Their names could not be learned last evening, but the numbers of their identification checks are Nos. 47 and 49. As near as can be learned, the negroes were shipped in here some time ago from Kansas City, and were considered bad actors. The two dead men started to quarrel in the Belmont saloon, and after a time drifted out on the street and north on K street. One of the men pulled out a gun and insisted on the other accompanying him. The man refused, and with J.D. Epps, entered the Mills’ Tea Store. In a few minutes after they entered the store, the second negro, with a gun, entered and practically held up the store. In the store at that time were Miss Hazel Musgrove and the little daughter of Mr. Mills. The quarrel became so heated that Epps concluded it was time to go, and he left by the back door. Epps immediately started to find the officers, and within a few minutes located Deputy Marshal Stoddard. Mr. Stoddard deputized another man, and the two entered the store. One negro was standing near the door, and Marshal Stoddard stepped by him toward the back of the room, where the man with the gun was standing. Before he had gone ten feet, the negro fired at him, the shot passing through the stove pipe and within an inch of Stoddard. Stoddard pulled him gun and started shooting, and at the third shot the bullet struck the negro in the breast, just above the heart, causing his death. While Stoddard was firing three shots, the negro emptied his revolver at Stoddard. When the shooting started, the man who entered the store with Stoddard grabbed the negro near the door and prevented him from shooting Stoddard in the back. After the first negro was down. Stoddard turned to the second one and ordered him to put up his hands. Instead of complying, the negro tried to get his gun, and Stoddard fired one shot, the bullet striking the negro on the right side of the head, just back of the ear. Both the negroes were armed with heavy .44 and .45 revolvers, and one of them had a long knife. During the time they were in the Tea Store, before the arrival of the marshal, threats were made to kill both Hazel Musgrove and little Dorothy Mills. There can be no question but what Deputy Marshal Stoddard would have been killed had he hesitated on second after the negro began shooting at him and after the second negro went after his gun. He was entirely within the rights of an officer in protecting the lives of the occupants of the store, as well as his own life. The negroes claimed to be bad men, and took pride in the fact that they had established such a reputation. The bodies of the negroes were taken to the City Undertaking Parlors, where they will be held until identified by the railroad company. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 43 October 21, 1916 MRS.

The boys carried their injured companion to the hospital and summoned Dr. Lauzer. From the beginning the doctor had no hope of the boy’s recovery and he passed away on Monday afternoon between three and four o’clock. He was conscious to the last and kept continually repeating that it was entirely an accident and that his companion was in no way to blame. The sad affair caused quite a painful sensation in the city. Nelson was employed driving the motor truck belonging to Kellogg & Holmes and his quiet and obliging disposition made him a general favorite with all the customers. He was an only son and deep sympathy is felt for this parents and his sisters in their sad bereavement. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 02 December 01, 1916 YOUNG BOY MEETS UNTIMELY DEATH AT THE HANDS OF COMPANION ON TRIP Nels Hart was accidentally shot on Sunday by Greeno Stemwinder. The boys, in company with their sisters, went out into the hills beyond the hospital to look after some traps they had placed. They took a pistol with them and had been shooting at targets, taking turn about. Hart had just shot when Stemwinder asked for his turn and the Hart boy handed the gun over to his companion, already to shot. The latter did not know the gun was cocked and before he had hardly raised it, it was discharged, the other boy falling to the ground. The injured boy hurried them for a physician and he was taken to the hospital, where an operation was performed, but he died the following day, explaining that the other boy was in no way to blame, that it was accidental. Funeral services were held yesterday from the home of Mrs. Jos. Mestes on No. 1 hill. The dead boy was the sol provider of the family, the father having gone to Colorado. The boy spent part of the past summer with his father and before that time he had worked for Kellogg & Holmes. The other little fellow is brokenhearted at the terrible accident and it was feared he might take his own life. --- Rock Springs Miner no. 48 December 02, 1916 FATAL SHOOTING LAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON Between two and three o’clock last Sunday afternoon an accidental shooting occurred in the hills south of town, in which Nelson Hart, a seventeen year old boy of this city, received injuries from which he died twenty-four hours later. Shortly after noon on Sunday, Nelson Hart, Weinhard Steinweinder, Anthony West and four girls started to visit some traps the boys had set for coyotes near Sweetwater. When they were just south of the cemetery, the Steinweinder boy pulled a revolver from his pocket and shot at a tin can which had been put up as a mark. Young Hart, who was standing just back of Steinweinder, then asked to have a shot at the can. Steinweinder drew back the hammer of the revolver and handed it back to Hart, and the revolver was discharged in the transfer from Steinweinder to Hart. The bullet, a 38-calibre, struck Hart in the hip on the right side, and ranged forward and came out through the groin on the left side, passing through the lower part of the abdomen and severing the main artery. Immediately after the accident, the alarm was given and the injured boy hurried to the hospital. Medical examination indicated little hope could be entertained for his recovery, and his death occurred about four o’clock on Monday afternoon. Before his death he gave an account of the shooting and positively declared that it was entirely accidental and that none of his companions were to blame. Nelson lived with his mother at No. 1 hill and was the mainstay of the family, as his father is absent from the city. For a time he was employed by Kellogg & Holmes as a driver for their delivery truck and he had many friends who deeply deplore his tragic death. The funeral was held from the home on No. 1 hill on Thursday afternoon and interment was made in Mountain View cemetery. --- Rock Springs Adviser-News no. 20 December 07, 1916 Death Record of the Week Mrs. Henry Sturm died at one o’clock on Monday morning from diabetes.
