MATHENEY MAKES ANOTHER COMES
sIoN.-We learn from Deputy Sheriff
Walsh. who returned yesterday from
Hamilton, that the boy Matheney has
made still another confession, with ref
erence to the Green murder. He now
says that Finney murdered Green at
| about 6 O'Clock in the evening, dealing
the fatal blow outside of the tent. They
then buried the old man. and the next
morning brought in lot of horses,
which they proceeded to SELL This
story does not seem at all likely. When
found there was neither pants nor coat
on the body of the murdered man. 1t is
hardly probable that, had he been killed
before refining for the night, the assas-
sins would have taken the trouble to un-
dress him. His pants and other apparel
were fopnd in the tent This is the
third confession made by Matheney-all
differing in many important particulars.
Having told % many stories. it will now
be Official. to find any one who will be-
lieve anything he says. 1t is the opin-
ion of some OF the officers that he is at
tempting to play the insanity dodge.
However, the Grand Jury of White Pine
county have indicted him for murder IN
the first degree. The case of Finney.
his Supposed accomplice, was still under
consideration at last accounts. We shall |
probably know more as to the DISPOSE
ton made of Finney's case on the ar
rival of to-day's stnge from Hamilton.-

ATTEMPTED RoBDERy.-The Elko In

ATTEMPTED RoBBERy-The Elko In
dependent of Oct IL tells the following:
We learn from gentlemen from Camp
Halleck that on the Sd instant about IL
O'Clock II man named Geo. Trowbridee
entered the pest traders store, and after
"a little conversation with the clerk,
Laramie Mayer, pulled out q six-shooter
and said. =. want your money" The
young man said to his father, who was
standing close by attending to some
business, This man saws he wants
money" Mr.. Mayer replied 81 have
no money to lend on pistols" The
robber replied, Il don't wish to borrow.
but 1 want your money" and stepping
back few steps cooked and levelled the
pistol at the young man saying If you
move will kill you" Mr.. Mayer then
went back to the counting room to get
his pistol, but thought it best to jump
out Of the back window and run for the
guard. Just as he raised the window he
saw his other son coming toward the
store, and told him to cali the sergeant
of the guard. The robber hearing the
order Immediately ran out. jumped his
horse, which was hitched near the door,
and made good his escape.

CATTLE SHOOTING-We have been
told that parties in Star Canyon.
during the latter part of last week.
were enjoying the recreative sport
of shooting cattle. Six or seven
head Of mich cows have been shot,
and some of them fatally. The
cows belong to Mr.. Millington,
who has been at Knoxville for
couple of weeks making prepare
tions for trip to the Eastern States
on o visit to his relatives. The
canse of shooting, it is said, was
because of the breaking into the
gardens. by the cows. of A. D.
McCulloch and David Weaver, who
are accused of doing the shooting,
although there is no positive evi
dence against them. One of the
cows was shot in the eye, which
from that cause has been running
matter ever since the shooting. and
is described as presenting perfectly
horrible and disgusting appearance.
One of the gardens is said to he
without a fence of any kind. We
understand that no arrests have |
been made, az the evidence is con-
sidered insufficient to convict. 1t
was a brutal deed, to say the least.

If TIE subject weren't so sad and
serious, we should feel tempted to
langh the laugh of derision at the
following heart rending description
of the present condition and pros
poets of the Nevada State University
Us presented by the Elko Indepe"dcnf
of Saturday last:
Some time since the Board OF Trustees
located the University on the hill west
of town and work was immediately COM
menced by Fitch & McBurney, the con-
tractors. but since then it has been found
impracticable to complete the building.
The well was sunk to a depth of y6 feet
with very little water, and the site was
too high for the water ditch, therefore it
was difficult to obtain water to irrigate;
hence it became necessary to seek more
desirable location. which was found on
the point north of town. Accordingly
the first of this week the contractors
moved their affairs, and now work is
again being pushed ahead. Before
many days Nevada's State University
will rear its wallis toward heaven and at I
tract the attention of the passer-by. The
building when completed will be $3.50
feet, two stories high. and will have two
additions each 2Ox24 feet.

DrsPIcABLE.-For a day or two past a
stranger in this place has been leading a
blind man about asking aims for him.
and he has been quite successful. The
solicitor OF aims was caught gambling

posure Of this fact will put people on
their guard. We wish our readers t.
understand that the blind man spoken
of is not the party referred to by US some
days ago. The imposter was caught in
his nice trick by an oficer.-PiOche
