"SUICIDE AT. WASBINGTON.
Old Man Peter Graft Becomes Despondant
; : . ment today.
and Takes Strychuine, © Call on Ed Schmidt when you want
Peter Oraft,a pioneer resident of the anything inthe tobacco line. tf
town of Washington, died at six o’clock
last evening from the effects of a dose
of strrchnine that he_ had taken an
hour and a half earlier with suicidal intent. He was between 75 and 76 years
of age and his health had been failing
fr some time past. Recently he had
expressed himself to numerous acquain’ ances as being tired of life, and
had said that as’ he bad no family dependent upon him. and. there would be
nobody to mourn his taking off, that
the sooner he was in his grave the bettr it would be all around.
* Graft lived alone in a cabin just outside of the town, having been a resident of that locality since the early!
sixties. A lad discovered him dying’
in bis house late in the afternoon and
notified thé people of Washington, but
he was so: far gone his life could not be
saved. J. A. Lipman, acting as
Deputy Coroner, held. an inquest on
the remains, with the following jury :
Max Getz, W.S. Lavey, J. S. Kramer,O.
Helgesen, J. Kelleher, M. Crowley, W.
H. Mead, A. Sperns and W. Hogan.
Tie jury’s verdict was in accordance
with the facts as stated above.
A story told bere of the old man is
that-many years ago & little girl lost a
gold ring ina lot on his ranch. Highteen years later he plowed up the fleld
and found the ring, which he promptly
restored to its owner who is now the
wife of a prominent merchant of this
city.

GOT lS WOOD SAWAD.
Bdilor Wadiworth’s Little Joke About
Idle Men Brings lis Reward.
Editor Wadsworth of the. Herald is
the premier ‘*josher” of the Sierra Nevadas. his morning the TRANSCRIPT
man started out to find what sailed him
when he printed in his paper Sunday
that. there. was “not an idle man in
town.” Four days before that he had
invested part of his wealth in some
four-foot wood. It laid in the street,
nobody coming along and offering to
cut it. Wadsworth sat around in his.
new spring suit shivering and thinking
the situation. over. Meantime somebody appropriated a good part of the
pile, a thing that is likely to happen in
Nevada City with any articles which
are not nailed down. Finally he wrote
out the comment about idle men, then
sat back with a chuckle and waited.
He didn’: have to waitlong. A crowd
of indignant unem ployéd carried his
oitice by storm before the papers from
the press had been dried by the morning sun. Thus he got a man to cat his
wood, and he is happy once more.
