Mr. Rossetter followed, but testified

Mr.. Darrow was called by plaintiffs

that X. \. Fisher had been the nomi-
nal owner only, when he had the
Richmond mine in his name. and
that the Richmond Mining Company
were the beneficial owners. The OBJ
lection CAV rise to an argument,

arguments on both sides.
DEATH OF Tom FLITCRoFT.-A dis
patch from Schclburn, published in
this mornings SENTINEL, gives the
particulars of the death of Tom Fit
croft, a saloon-keeper of that place.
He was fatally shot in the side and
arm While passing along the street
night before last. Joseph Watts has
been arrested for the deed. Parties
here who are familiar with the sur

wife of Watts had been on very
friendly terms for some time past.
To this cause is attributed the shoot

of the ladies, who pronounced him a
handsome man. In Hamilton. San
Francisco, Oregon and other places
where he resided, he generally had
feminine admirers. Flitcroft was AT

county, Oregon, where he also kept IA
large motel. He came to White Pm
with the rush of 90, and has since re-
NAMED in Eastern Nevada. He was
a genial, kind-hearted man, and had
hosts of friends all over the Pacific
coast.
HELD TO ANSwER.-It will be re-
membered that a German by the
name OF Geo. Smith vas arrested in
Hamilton some time ago, on suspi-
