THE EVENING NEWS.

man named Kennedy living on the divide.
having been to town and imbibed an ex-
traordinary quantity of FIRE water, came
home and found that his lovely spouse had
barred the door on him, whereupon he
went through terrible war dance around
the fortified castle, much to the edi6ca-
ton and delight of band of Piutes who
assembled at respectful distance TO see
white braves performances. After jump
ing and yelling and cursing around the
house abont fifteen or twenty minutes he
got sledge and commenced to batter down
the door which soon lay in fragments at
his feet, much TO the terror of the females
within. He was about TO deal out sum-
mary punishment upon them, when a num-
ber of men rushed in upon him and bound
him, to his disgust, but much to the re-
lief of the several women who were at ms
mercy q moment before. After ranting
and raving few minutes, he changed the
programme to more religious nature, and
when we last saw him he was repeating
prayers and singing hymns. y
4 ANOTHER PIONEER GoNE.-C. ]. Sulh-'
van, one of the pioneers of WashOe, and a
man much respected by all who knew
him, died yesterday quite suddenly. He
sailed in the Erebus with Sir John Ross
in 1889 on an exploring expedition to the
Antartic ocean, and with him spent four
years in the frozen,regions of the South.
He was also. on an expedition to the re-
sions around the north pole. He was
most ingenious worker in iron, and a
gate of beautiful pattern and splendid
finish, called by him the Golden Gate"
and made at a common forge at the mouth
Of tunnel in California. took the premium
at several County Fairs and at the State
Fair in California. He came to this Ter
ritory in 1861, and won name not only
as q splendid workman, but as an honest,
upright, kindhearted man. His loss will
be much felt by ell who knew him.-ER-

HUI CoarPASY.-This company has
got its shaft down to the depth of $50
feet, and viii, in couple of weeks, COM
mence drifting to the ledge at the vest
The distance which the drift viii have to
be run, is thought to be about 100 feet.
1t may strike the ledge sooner and 1t may
not reach it so soon. At the surface the
ledge Is about 10 feet from the top OF the
shaft. The ledge pitches TO the west, and
the drift will, therefore, have to be run as
much further than that as the pitch of the
ledge carries it from the perpendicular
line, distance which can only be deter
mined by running the drift.
The prize fight which came off yester-
day at Spring Valley, between Patsey Foy
and William Blackwood. resulted in
victory TO the former. Twenty-four
rounds were fought, the time occupied
being forty-six minutes. The men are
reported as having been very evenly
matched, and both endured a very severe
pummeEng, and both were splitting blood
very freely before the contest terminated.
As we had no reporter on the ground,
our readers are spared the infection of
the customary gibberish about "mawleys,"
"gobs," p" potato-traps," etc.
