The Elko Independent reports John T. Baker found dead on February 19 in Harrison's Pass Eureka County. Baker and Thomas of Ruby Valley left Judge Toyne's Moand Valley home to ride to Ruby Valley.

The funeral was held at the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Greenfield officiating. Baker, a Wisconsin import who settled in Eureka in the 1870s, was a noted lawyer and wit, creator of the Damphool Infirmary, and known for humor and public reports.
