***Death of R.N. BRIGGS***
We chronicle in this issue the death of Hon. R.N. BRIGGS, of Bridgeport,
Mono county. Mr. BRIGGS was for years the Superior Judge of Mono county,
and has held many important private and public positions. He was the
father of N.C. BRIGGS, of Hollister, who was summoned to his fathers
bed-side, but found, on his arrival, that life was already extinct. The
body was interred at Jackson, Amador county, the former home of the
deceased.
***Suicide at Gonzales***
According to the Salinas Index, Henry BROCKMAN committed suicide at
Gonzales, Wednesday morning, by shooting himself through the head with a
revolver. He leaves a widow and three children. A letter was found in his
pocket, addressed to this wife, the purport of which was that he was
tired of living, and that God would take care of her and the children. It
seems that he came down town in the morning, opened ___ saloon and then
went home to breakfast. Before eating, however, he went woodshed and
fired [damaged beyond legibility]
