chronicles mysterious murder as
follows:
Yesterday information was telegraphed
from Bullionyille stating that man
named Willis was shot at Bullionville
on Thursday and MORALLY wounded. BY

TO state, as that fact was unknown even
to parties in Bullionville. Further par
hculars will be given as soon rs they can

night DIR. Philson, the Coroner. had not
been notified of the death of Willis, bnt

tanned of his recovery. No clue has
been obtained as to the perpetrator OF
the deed. nor are we able to obtain any
particulars of the tragic occurrence.

As companion to the story lately
narrated by the Humboldt Register
about an Indian girl who was stoned
to death by some of her tribe the
En- 'erprise of Wednesday tells the
following:
Last evening, at late hour, we re-
ceived intelligence of a terrible tragedy
among the Piute Indians camped east o.
this city. 1t appears that last Monday
an indian named Butfitlo Bill, noted
among the tribe for his evil disposition
and general uoliness, came to this city
and procured a supply of liquor, ana
drank of the same until he became i'll
toxicated He then returned to camp,
and while there sought out another Ia
dian with whom he was upon unfriendly
terms. Meeting him shortly after his
return, Buffalo Bill drew his six-shooter
and deliberately shot him through the
head, killing him instantly. The report
of the pistol brought out number OF
the Indians, and they seeing what But
falo Bill had done, seized upon him,
bound him hand and foot, and conveyed |
I,im to the midst of the camp. Here, il
would seem, they formed tribunal, and /
tine offending Indian was sentenced to |
death. They then took him short dis |
lance from camp, and there dubbed him
to death, cut his throat from ear to ear,
and then burned the mass of mutilated |
flesh. This much we have learned, and |
consider the authority good, but the
lateness of the hour precludes the posi-
bility of our obtaining further particulars
at present.
