four o'clock
Early in the afternoon the body of the girl who had never been known in Goldite by any name save that of Queenie , was buried on a hillside , already called into requisition as a final resting place for such as succumbed in the mining-camp , too far from friends , or too far lost , to be carried to the world outside the mountains . Half a dozen women attended the somewhat meager rites . There was one mourner only -- the man who had run to summon Van , and who later had waited by the door . At four o'clock the Goldite _ News _ appeared upon the streets . It contained much original matter -- or so at least it claimed . The account of the murder of Culver , the death of Queenie , and the threatened lynching of Van Buren made a highly sensational story . It was given the prominent place , for the editor was proud to have made it so full in a time that he deemed rather short .
