Death Of CoL McComas
Col. R. F. McComas, of Nebraska, brother
of Judge McComas, of this place, who was killed
by the Indians near Malone some years ago, was
accidentally killed at Silver Creek, in the Mo-
gollons, on Wednesday last. Mr. McComas
slipped upon the ice near the mine, and being a
man of more than common proportions, the
force of the fall was sufficient to burst a blood
vessel. He died before medical aid could be
summoned. It is a sad blow to his family, and
a loss both to the community where he lived
and to this community, as he had become iden-
tified with some of our best mining interests,
and in the management of the Last Chance
company has shown himself a thorough busi-
ness man and socially a perfect gentleman.
