ANOTHER TERRIBLE TRAGEDY,
Two Men Brutality Murdered md
Thrown into Deep Springs.
No Clue to the Perpetrators.

OF the mountain six or eight miles west
OF Bristol, being northwest of and about
twenty-six miles from Phoebe. Daniel
Holland, OF Bristol, was passing near the
Springs, when he noticed wagon. tracks
going directly to them, which he followed.
Arriving at the Springs he saw the body
OF man, back up, floating on the water.
He then ran a shovel down to the bottom
through the water, when the body of San.
bourne rose. He then went away and re-
ported the discovery, when other parties
came to the scene, and the bodies were
put into wagon and brought to, this city.
When we viewed them, Sunday morning,
they presented horrible appearance.
but were still easy of identif.
cation, the features of Wright, whom we
bad known, being clearly recognizable.
Each body had several bullet holes in it.
all directed to vital parts, and Sanbourne
was bruised about the head, besides be.
ing shot. They had horse with them.
which. it is thought, is now grazing
somewhere near where the murder took
place, as it is very evident that booty
was not the object OF the murderers.
Parties here very well know the circum-
stances under which Wright and San
bourne started out to the country west of
Bristol, and it was positively known that
they had but few dollars in coin with
them, and about the amount OF change
they are known to have had was found
In one OF the pockets of Sanbourne-so
their pockets were not ri1ed. Beside
the Springs was found roll of Nevada
newspapers. which Mr.. Booth, of the
RECORD office, had presented to Mr..
Wright the morning he started out, and
none of their garments had been taken.
and none OF their camp equipments, ap-
parently, had been disturbed. One
highly important fact seems TO stand out
in bold relief, which is, that they were
murdered for no other purpose than to
get them out of existence. From the
very natures of the men-being genial,
good-natured and compromising. rather
than pugnacious and aggressive in dis
position-it is not likely that any human
nurtured murderous feelings against
them. They had gone out into the re-
gion whers, their bodies were found to
locate what they supposed to be an i'm
mensely rich silver vein. This is enough
to say about the horribly mysterious
affair at the present time. The bodies
had Christian burial yesterday. A
Coroner's inquest was held on the re-
mains, but verdict will not be rendered
until further evidence is adduced.
NEWSPAPER FOR ST. GEoRGE.-We are
informed by gentlemen just in from st..
George that the citizens of that flourish
ing garden city are determined to have a
first-class newspaper to advocate their
interests. 1t would be strange if they
could not, with their population of over
5000, their highly productive soil, and
rich mineral surroundings, foster into ex-
istence one of the most prosperous jour-
nails i'll the mountains They need a
wide-awake, influential journal. which
would attract men and capital, expedite
the construction of the Utah Southern,
and, in very few years, make St. George
what Salt Lake now is. In this univers-
ally reading age it is as impossible to
build up new country without the influ-
ence of printers ink as it would be to
teach school without books.
ARRIVAL OF F. F. MARx.-Mr. F. +.
Marx, of Toano, the well-known forward
er of Nevada, whose headquarters are at
Toano, arrived in Phoebe yesterday,
having been only four and a half days
| from the railroad travelling in his own
conveyance. Mr. Marx informs US that
he is about to establish n fast-freight
line between Phoebe and points on the
Central Pacific, and all acquainted with
the energy and indomitablity of this
| gentleman will not doubt that the new
| enterprise will be perfect success from
the beginning. Mr.. Marx now has all
the necessary facilities for the inaugura-
ton of this new feature in his business
to the extent of shipping, if necessary,
two millions OF pounds month.
Tax New HOSTING MAcHINERY.-The
new hosting machinery for the Ray
mond Il Ely Company was shipped from
San Francisco about week ago. 1t
will be erected as soon as it comes to
hand, and then the world will hear
more astonishing results from Ely min
ing district than ever before. Owing to
the great depth of the late important
strike in the mine it is necessary to have
the new hosting works in operation
before ore can be hoisted from it.
THURSDAY evening John Mcguire S
benefit takes place at Armory Hall. We
understand that the entertainment will be
of concert nature, in which some of our
amateurs will assist. A portion of the
hall will be set apart for families, and
seated with chairs, while the paraquette
will be raised. Some of the choicest
musical gems will be given, interspersed
| with dramatic scenes by amateurs, and
altogether, the programme promises to
afford highly intellectual treat.
DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED CITIZEN OF
BuLLIoNvILLE. - George W. Gould, a
school-teacher of Bullionville, died at
that place, at halt-past twelve o'clock
yesterday, of lung fever. He was res.
pected by all who knew him, and leaves
a large circle of friends to mourn his
loss.
DEATH OF GEoRaE SEELY. - George
Seeley died of lung affection last SUM-
day morning, and was buried yesterday.
He formally kept the toll-gate on Ham
Lights road, and was well.known in this
section.
ANDY FIFE's quartz teams are now run

Of ore day at the mills from the Ray
mond & Ely mine, but the ore now being
delivered is not high grade.
CRops.-The crops down around Bull
lionville and Panaca are looking remark
