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. NS Ne k { Awarded Highest Honors—World’s Fair.

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.

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. : Gave Bonds, Miss Josie Downing, who was arrested a few days ago for firing two shots at Miss Sullivan, has been put under $500 bonds. to await an examination, — oie Seno paewe Tux old terrets of the Monadnock were torn apart-recently at Mare Island, and the plates-are to be sold at an early date. after listening to the men’s grievances, in.
