New camps, like Bodie, are generally prolific in items of sad occurrences. Seldom has it been our lot to record a case more filled with sorrowful antecedents than that of David Love, who lies as we write at the point of death in the Bodie House.

He was discovered in the corral used by Boone & Wright, insensible and dying. Doctors were summoned, among them the County Physician, who looked at the suffering remnant of a man, and went away. A kind hearted teamster took him in his wagon and carted the unfortunate man to a bed engaged at the Bodie House, where the good souled landlady gave orders that all should be done for him that was possible.

For three or four hours the man lay out in the glare of the morning sun, and no one seemed to know what to do with him. Can anyone imagine a more forlorn or wretched condition than the one described?

From information gathered, we find that the unfortunate had been at different times in his life an officer in the army, a school teacher, a lawyer, and was always a man of cultivation and attainments. Sometime ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis, and it is supposed that his present helpless condition is to be ascribed to another shock of the same character. -- News
