Another Pioneer Gone

Pocatello: Another pioneer has passed over the Great Divide. James Mullany, a former resident of Boise, but who lived in Glenn’s Ferry for a number of years, died there yesterday and with his demise one of the truest spirits that ever blazed a western trail went out, observes the Boise Bulletin. Mr. Mullany came to Boise in the sixties. Att hatt [sic] time Boise was little more than a military post. He was engaged for some time as express messenger and for a time was the Boise agent of the Cutler & Westerfield Idaho-Nevada express. The first edition of the Statesman, July 26, 1864, contains the following mention of him:

Judge Mullany Dead.

Judge Mullany died at Glenn’s Ferry yesterday morning at 10 o’clock of cerosis [sic] of the liver. He had been ailing for several weeks and despite the skill and exertion of Dr. Nieukirk, who attended him, he passed away as above stated.

Judge Mullany was one of the pioneers of this county, was very well known and thoroughly loved and at the time of his death was postmaster as well as justice of the peace of Glenn’s Ferry.

Scratch Causes Death.

As a Result of Game of Shinny Young Boy Lies Dead.

Salem, Ore., Feb. 24.—As a result of a small scratch upon the knuckle of the forefinger of the left hand, blood poison set in, and Fred Walling, the 16-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Walling, who reside near Lincoln, Spring valley, now lies dead at the home of his parents, and the latter are nearly prostrated with grief over the sad event, for the boy was the pride of the family, and, in fact, of the neighborhood.

Fred, in company with several other boys, on Tuesday of last week played a game of “shinny” at school, when he received a severe blow upon his left hand, which bruised it pretty badly, and made a slight abrasion upon the forefinger. Very little attention was paid to it at the time, but within a few days the finger began to get alarmingly sore, and a physician was called in.
