STRANGER DEAD

BROUGHT FROM MOAPA WEDNESDAY IN DYING CONDITION

    A stranger, whose name has been ascertained to be Franklin HALL, 
upon examination of his effects, died in the hospital in this city 
Wednesday evening, soon after his arrival on number 1 passenger.
    HALL was taken with pneumonia several days ago at Moapa, and having 
no money or friends there, was given medical attention and care at the 
expense of the county under direction of County Commissioner S. H. 
WELLS.  It was thought best to remove the sick man to this city where he 
could be properly taken care of, and he was accordingly placed on the 
train on a stretcher Wednesday.  On his arrival here he was found to be 
past assistance, and soon expired.  His identity was not known until his 
effects were examined, when letters showed his name to be Franklin HALL.
    The deceased was a miner and had a niece in Los Angeles and a nephew 
in Orncutt{?}, Cal.  He was also an acquaintance of John T. HAYES, who 
makes this city his headquarters but is now at or near Kiernan, Nev.
    The remains are being held by Undertaker GRIFFITH awaiting 
instructions from relatives.
