_ DROWNED.
Sad Fate of Young Melville: Casper.
A MOST DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.
While Playing With Other Boys He
Falls From a Raft in the
Manzanita Reservoir.
Monday after: 07n about 4:30 o’cl-ck Melville Casper, eldest son of K. Casper, was
drowned in a reservoir at the Manzanita
mine. .
In company with several other boys
young Casper went in the pond to bathe and
swim, Casper being abable to swim, got
upon a raft and was paddling around,
when his raft collided with a raft that
other boys were riding on. The collision
threw Casper off into the water. George
Keller, Joe Hamiltou and a boy named
Adams were on the other raft.
Seeiny the peril of their comrade, one of
the-boys;-Geurge Keller,;-attempted-to~save
him. The'drowning boy took Keller under
the water several times and struggled so
hard that the latter was unable to get him
out and was in danger of losing his own life.
The boys on the raft pulled towards the two
who were in the water and got near enough
for Keller to reach the raft, but the
frantic struggling of poor Melville broke his
hold and both sank again. They came up
next time under the raft. The drowning
boy was beginuing to lose consciousness, and
Keller, realizing his own danger, managed
to break away from him.
Finding their efforts futile the’ boys hurried to town and gave the alarm. At Chinatown they met Sigourney’s express
wagon, in which W. P. Sigourney and
Herbert Cooper were riding. Being told of
what had happened, the men drove rapidly
to the reservuir, stripped and plunged in.
. The water was very cold and it. was, impossible to remain in very long at a time. Not
knowing the exact spot. where the boy
sank, it took some time to find the body,
which Sigourney succeeded in doing after
diving five times. The bottom of the reaervoir is very irregular, being shallow in
some places and having deep holes and cuts
in other parts. At the point where the
accident occurred the water was nearly ten
feet deep.
A crowd went out to the reservoir, about
a half mile from town, a huodred or more
people, men, women and boys, being present when the body was recovered. Sigourney brought the lifeless form to the surface
and Cooper-fastened a rope under the arms,
and threw the other end of the rope to the
bank to Phil Byrne and Ike Herold, who
pulled the body ashore. Life was extinct.
The clothes of the unfortunate boy were
put on and he was placed in the express
~ wagon and conveyed to the family residence
on Coyote street.
' Melville Casper was 14 years, 6 months
of age and was avery bright and promising
boy: His parents are heart-broken over the
terrible affliction that has so suddenly befallen them, and universal sympathy is extended to the family. It is truly a sad
event. : :
Coroner Daniels of Grass Valley came. up
last evening and impaneled the following
jury tu hold an inquest: George L. Hughes,
J. A. Northway, Henry Lane, ‘T. Giles, G.
R. Harlbert, W. Black. They rendered a
verdict that deceased came to his death by
accident,
«ee
Deeply Regretted.
‘The sad accident which happened yesterday afterncon by which Melville Casper
lost his life, cast a gloom over the community. Last evening the drowning was the
principal topic of conversation, Evérybody
deplores the terrible fate of the boy, and al
sympathize with the parents and other relatives, The grief of Mr. and Mrs. Casper
is most poiguant. Melville was their eldest
child and the high hopes jthey bad of an
approaching bright future for“him were,
without the slightest warning, blasted by
the cruel hand of death. He was dutital
son, well liked by all who knew him, and a
favorite among his schoolmates, who esteemed him for his pleasant disposition and
kind, polite manners.
one of the brightest pupils in his class.
Deceased was fourteen years old last November. The funeral will take place op
Thursday atternoon at 2 o'clock.

Death of a Former Old-Time Resident.
The funeral ceremonies over the body of
Judge Walsh were held Saturday morning
at the undertaking establishment of Halssead & Ov., San Francisco. Judge Walsh
was a pioneer. As far back as 1851 he was
the manager of the Gold Hill qurtz mine at
Grass Valley, where he lived for many years
He was a prominent operator and expert in
mines for fally forty years. He was iu‘fimately connected with the history of the
Comstock lode. He came from an old and
highly respected New York family, and
was a man of fine appearance, of liberal education and of eourtly manners, He had
visited Europe and traveled extensively. Iu
1855 he commanded much strength in the
Democratic convention. as a candidate for
Governor, A year or more ago his wife
died at 1602 Howard street. Inthe same
room he was confined for a number of
months, attended only by an old miner,
who ministered to his wants as best he could.
He was over eighty years of age at the time
of his death.
Judge James Walsh was the first Senator
elected from Nevada county. He resigned
his office and went to Europe where he tormed the company that worked the Gold Hill
mine, of which he was superintendent.
When the Washoe excitément broke ont—in
1859, Judge Walsh, in company with Joe
Woodworth and others went over there and
made money easily. Walsh was one of ihe
tirst men in the Ophir mive, Virginia City,
Nevada, -and-it-is-reportedthat— he maces
about $100,000 outvof-tlat property, From
Nevada State Judge Walsh came bick to
California and was.an active spirit in developing the mines of the Calico district,
san, Bernardino county. For the past few
years none of the old timers here have heard
nothing of the courteous old gentleman until
they read of his. death. Several of them
who knew him when he was here in Grass
Valley, says the Telegraph, speak of him in
endearing terms and were they in San Francisco they would drop a flower on the grave
of the oldman who formed a part of the
history of this county.

WORKMEN QUIT WORK.
Attempt to Cut Wages of Car-Men
atid Landers.
Grass Valley Union: There was great excitement in town last night for half an hour
or so when thirteen or fourteen car-men and
landers came in from tho Maryland mine
looking for Superintendent Dorsey,
A notice had been posted at the mine that
wages of car-men in future would be $2.50
per day and landers $2.75. Under the Idaho
management the wages had never been less
than $3 for such workmen, and while the
men were peaceable they were determined
to work for no Jess than the standard scale.
Assistant Superintendent Victor Dorsey,
tormed all who left their work that: they
could return to work at $3 per day, and thiis
morning everything will move along a,
though nothing had happened.
This amicable settlement of the difficulties
is pleasing to everybody, as_ the sentiment
is general that the men-whose wages were
to bé-cut are_hardand conscientious workers-and deserviug of the wages they have
been receiving. :
