DEATH OF E.P. LOVEJOY

A Worthly Citizen Dies Suddenly After a Brief Illness

E.P. Lovejoy died after a brief illness, at Wabuska, on Wednesday night, of which the Chronicle last night says:

Mr. Lovejoy had been ill but five or six days, suffering from a complication of troubles, chiefly of the heart and stomach. He had been confined to his bed but a few hours before his death, which occurred very suddenly, and probably due to heart failure. Deceased was a native of St. Louis, Mo., aged 55 years. He had been on this coast for over thirty years and followed mining in early days in California. He was for a number of years editor of the Trinity County Journal in the palmy days of that county and held the office of District Attorney of the same county. He was well known of the Comstock and some years ago kept the American Exchange Hotel in this city. The funeral will take place tomorrow in Dayton, upon the arrival of the five o'clock train over the C.&C. from the south, under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge of Mason Valley, assisted by others of the order. He was a member of Carson Chapter, R.A.M., also a member of the order of I.O.O.F. and the A.O.U.W.
