Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-03-12


Smith, accompanied by the partner of
George Mexican, was again working
hard yesterday procuring subscriptions
for Mr.. McKean's benefit. Mr.. Smith,
alone, has raised over 81 900, and con-
siderable has been raised by others. He |
deserves great credit for the generous
part he has acted in this matter. We
believe, with the proceeds from a nights
performance at the theater, kindly ten
dered the unfortunate man, that So 900
can be raised As the amount will come
from the citizens of Phoebe for the bene-
fit of Mr.. Mexican, they should exercise
their judgment in saying how it should
be invested to best subserve the purpose;
and we suggest that he be paid ST 900 in
coin, and that the remainder be used to
purchase him small farm, wherever he
may choose to live, the conveyance CIV
ing him a devisable interest therein, but
prohibiting its alienation during his life
time.
DRUNK, DRUNKER, DRUNKEsT About
fifty were in the street yesterday drunk,
but not unconsciously so; dozen or
more were too drunk to tell whether he
was himself or the other fellow" but
managed to find walking room by keep
ing in the middle of the road; and few
were too oblivious under superabund
ance of benZine to know whether they
were original or ultimate illustrations of
the Darwinian theory-in other words,
whether they were monkeys or men.
An old ,rt nff ,,l it,y
by being made to haul one of these last
to the calaboose. 1t was sort of tri-
umphal procession of hoodlumism, the
hoodlums following it in large numbers
and almost jumping out of their boots
with hilarity.
BucK1NG AND KNOCKING DOWN.
man bound for Wallapai was badly tri.
fled with by his bronco, yesterday after
noon, just outside the city limits The
second time the refractory animal bucko(
him off, he retaliated by knocking him
down with large stone, cutting an ugl,
cash in the side of his head. No on,
could charge the man with cruelty VIII,
% saw as much of that cayuses meannes
as we did. He had light load, was 60
ing out of snow drifts into green pas
lures, and, through pure cussedness
concluded to stay right where he was
He deserved rough usage. We don
know how he behaved after bein
knocked down.
GENERAL DECLINE IN SToCHs Gu
quotations this morning show generi
decline in stocks ON the boards-those {
Phoebe, however, standing frmer tina
the Virginia stocks. The majority of til
olders here pay but little attention
these fluctuations, as they bought O
pros pective development, and intend
hold, win or lose, until the mines
which they have invested are thorough
tested. Pending litigation may ha,

PR1roHARD's FAST FREIGHT LINE.
