One of the saddest tragedies which has ever visited this section is the sickness of fourteen of the boys who arrived here on the night of March 20, from Ireland: and the subsequent death, to date of four. The cause is ascribed to a virulent attack of influenza contracted while en route to Lakeview from New York City, and to the fact that the boys had not become acclimated to this high altitude.
  The first death which occurred was that of John C. O' Conner, who died last Friday evening. Mr O' Conner was a native of Umeraboy, County Cork Ireland, and is survived by his parents, Corney P. and Mary O' Conner, and two sisters, Jullian and Nora all of whom resides in Ireland: and one sister, Elizabeth, who resides in New York city: and by a sister Kathleen residing in Birmingham, England. Local relatives are Philip and James D. O 'Conner, Henry, John J. Cornelius, Daniel and John W .C O' keeffe and Dennis and Daniel O' Conner, all of whom are cousins, Interment took place Monday morning in the local cemetery, following services from St. Patrick's church.
  Patrick O' Keeffe, a native of Tureenduff County Cork, Ireland died Saturday night, and funeral services were held Monday morning at St. Patrick's church, followed by interment in the local cemetery. The deceased is survived by his parents, Patrick and Mary O' Keeffe, by a brother, Dennis, and by two sisters, Mary and Hannah, all of whom reside in Ireland: by two sisters, Minnie and Nellie, who reside in New York City and by a brother who is engaged in the sheep business in Harney County with Manuel Sanders. A cousin is Con O ' Keeffe of Silver Lake.

  Words cannot express the sorrow which is felt on an occasion like this, nor can we depict the anguish of the parents and brothers and sisters of these boys when the news of the death reaches them. All of the young men stricken, whose ages ranged from 18 to 25 years's, were imbued with spirit of ambition, otherwise they would not have journeyed the long distant of 6000 miles to seek their fortune and home in a strange land. May they rest in peace. The Examiner joins with many friends and well wishers in extending sincere sympathy to the bereaved relatives.
  Five of the boys who arrived here from Ireland on the night of March 20, are yet sick with influenza. Of these but only one is in a dangerous condition, Tom Jones, and at this writing he has what may be considered a fighting chance for his life. The others, Con J. O' Conner, Mr. Noonan, Peter Murphy and Con R. O' Conner, will undoubtedly recover. Frank Moynihan, well known sheep owner, and Tom Linehan, proprietor of the Palace Billiard and Pool Room, are also on the road to recovery. Several of those who have assisted in caring for these boys are now sick, including Miss Verda Umbach, Mrs. T. Sullivan, Mrs. P. C. Murphy and Mrs. Kingsley. Two Professional nurses have been sent for from Reno, and they are expected here not later than tonight. Dr. Kelly who is attending to several of those sick with the disease, has sent to San Francisco for a pneumonia serum.

  Michael C. Murphy, a native of Cullan, County Cork, Ireland, died Tuesday afternoon at Alturas following a brief sickness.
  Mr. Murphy was en route to this city with two other boys. Messrs, Nolan and Sullivan, the party having left Ireland the forepart of the month. He was taken sick on the train, and the delirium from the fever caused him to leave the train when it stopped at Alturas, without the knowledge of his companions, he was placed in a hospital at Alturas, and died Tuesday afternoon. John C. Flynn, Dan Ring and Rev. Thomas J. Brady, who went from here to Alturas on receipt of news of the boys sickness did everything possible for his comfort. The body was brought from Alturas on last night's train, and interment took place this morning in the local cemetery, following services from St. Patrick's Church.
