SEN. PYNE DEAD

ACTING LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF NEVADA DIES AT SANTA CRUZ

    Acting Lieut. Governor G. D. PYNE of Nevada died last Tuesday at 
Santa Cruz, Cal., after a lingering illness.  He was state senator when 
Governor SPARKS died and the lieutenant governor became governor.
    George D. PYNE was born in Virginia City, NV [rest of this sentence 
unreadable}.  He removed to Goldfield in the early days of that camp, 
where he engaged in the practice of law.  He was elected to the senate 
of Nevada and served one term.  It was Senator PYNE who framed the 
direct primary act of Nevada, passed at the last session of the 
legislature.
    Senator PYNE was a man of gentle and pleasing character and one who 
won universal respect.
    The funeral was held in San Francisco yesterday.
