Death of Joe McClane

Joe McClane, at one time well known in Esmeralda county, where he was foreman at
the Northern Belle, at Candelaria, for many years, died last Saturday at
Ouyamaca, in San Diego county, California.  Several days prior to his death he
had been bitten by a rattlesnake, and drank quantities of whiskey to counteract
the effects of the poison.

Three or four days before death his appetite failed him, and he offered his
horses and buckboard to any one who would give him a pistol to kill himself
with, as he was suffering horribly.  Joe McClane was man of many good parts, and
had as many experiences on the Pacific Coast as usually falls to the lot of a
pioneer.  He leaves a son and daughter to mourn him, the former living at Reno
and the latter in San Francisco.
