130 YEARS AGO
Yesterday forenoon a man named Oliff Otto Fremont, one of Carson's well-known characters, was found dead in an outhouse back of the Muller Hotel. Mr. Brule represented Fremont as being sober when he went to retire for the night, which was unusual for a man of notoriously dissipated habits. Coroner Foster held an inquest and attributed the cause of death to the bursting of a blood vessel of the brain. He was a good natured sort of fellow, of no particular good to himself or to the world generally, and was harmless even in his cups.
