HOMICIDE AT RELIEF h1LL.--OeO. w. role
was killed at Relief Hill last Saturday, by
his own brother-in-law "A man by the name
of Alnutt, under THE following circumstan-
ces, as commonly reported: Pole used to
live at Sweetland with his wife until about
year ago, when he parted from her for
some cause not positively known and went
to Relief Hill to work. Recently Alnutt
moved near the same place, having with
him his s-sister, Poles wife. Pole made some
remarks rejecting upon her character as
yirtuous woman, for which Alnutt called
him to account. Pole gave him the lie, and
was dared in turn to fight 1t out. He fol-
lowed Alnutt out of the house, ia boarding
house kept by Mrs Todd and was taking off
his cravat, when Che latter snapped pistol
at him. A clinch followed, the pistol was
heard to go off, bit was then dropped by
Alnutt, who drew knife, got Pole down
and cut him dreadfully, killing him on the
spot. 1t is reported that the unfortunate
wretch was stabbed entirely through his
body several times, had four ribs severed,
the breast bone cut, and his neck and face
slashed. Alnutt went to Nevada, gave HIM
derson, held to answer on charge of man
slaughter, and admitted to bail in the sum
of SO, 900.
NEvADA.-On Saturday evening last, while
saftte was being fired in honor of d. C.
Broderick, two of the men engaged in loading
the gun were terribly injured The Journal
says the accident occurred at the second fire.
A load had been touched, and but a slight
whizzing report was heard. A difference of
opinion arose among those in charge of the
gun, Parker contending that the load was
discharged, the others maintaining that it
was not. 1t was finally determined to re-
load, and while ramming down a cartridge
the gun discharged. Barney Parker had
his left arm blown away, his under jaw bad
ly bruised and stripped of its flesh, and he
was otherwise burned and injured so that
he died in a few hours. Cornelius Murphy
had his right hand badly torn, and his face
severely burned. Bruce Garvey, who was
thumbing the vent, was thrown into the air
and Cane down astride of the gun, accord
ing to the Democrat, but was not much hurt
Parker's remains were followed to the grave
by large number of citizens and strangers,
among whom were Messrs. Broderick and
Mckibben

B. Oague, indicted for the murder of Gus
