4 Terrible Outrage Committed by
Indians Near HtkO-rwO Men
Murdered anil their Remains
ShOckinyIy MutiIated-A Third
Narrowly Escapes she Same
Pate.

At a late hour last evening we re-
ceived a special dispatch from Phoebe,
containing the following startlin. intel
lisence:
Yesterday evening W, II. Hender-
son. County Recorder. returned from a
trip to Panantini, and he brings intel
ligenee of the cold-biooded butcherv
by the Indians of two white men. late
citizens of Phoebe. and the severely
weunding OF a third. 1t appears that
a week since three young men. VIM.
Koran, Peter Dawson. and Charles
| Olsen, left Phoebe for Panamint, on
foot. They had reached the Crescent
Mills. about 10 miles beyond Hike,
and had become foot>ore and sOrce-
what less hopeful of making the trip;
so they determined to return 10 Hike
valley. and work among the ranches
until they had earned sufficient means
! 10 prosecute their contemplated jour
ney in better shape. They then started
on the return trip 10 Hike, and Koran,
The only survivor OF the i'll -fated trio.
say they had reached a point about
seven miles from Hike. when
they were met by nire Indians
members, it is supposed. of Tempiute
Bills band. The Indians had a good
many inquiries TO make, and their
stvle of talk and their actions causeu
Koran TO suspect something was
wr,ng. The Indians apparently want
ell 10 lure then OFT the trail. Koran
started on at a rapid pace, urging his
companions TO come on with him, but
they did not appear to share his alarm,
and fell slightly behind. The Indians
then succeeded III separating the two
hindmo>t white men and then made
an attack by shooting them wiki ar
rows. lioran, the foremost, being
further out of their reach, they
shot at with a rifle and wounded
in the shoulder. Luckily the hurt did
not disable him. and he continued the
flight with all his remaining energies.
He had a little the start of his pur>u-
ers and kept il, though the Indians
followed him five miles. lie was sue
cessful in getting close TO the settle
nients in Hike valley and there his
pur>uers left him. He made his es-
are to the village, where he told his
lauentable tale. The whole settle
ment was at once up i'll arms. Parties
were organized under Charles G.
Heath and Judge Wilson to search for
the i'll fatsd companions of the wound
ed man. Koran described the place
where the murderous assault was
made, and there the body of Peter
Dawson was found. 1t vas only to
be recognized bv some of his clothing.
The face had been mashed by rocks
beyond all description, with other
frightful mutilationS. The other body
that Of Charles Olsen. was not found
until the next day. The Indians had
taken it down the wash some distance
and buried it.. The amt frightiu
,nutilations were also to be seen OF
the corpse as had been inflicted on thu
remains of Dawson. The bodies wers

The settlers Of Hike valley held +;

punishment on the murderous wretch

crime.

THREE-CARD MONTE THIEVES.

1t is creditable to the Contra Pacific
Railroad Company that measures are
being adopted which bid fair 10 put an
end to the operations of the different
gangs OF confidence men and three
card monte thieves which infest the
stations along the line of the road
from one end of the State TO the other.
Through the efforts Of detectives en-
ployed by the company the gang at
Palisade has been broken up, but at
other points their efforts have proven
unsuccessful. owing in a great degree
to the venality or ;ncompetency Of the
local authorities. At Battle Mountain,
in particular, where the shrewde>t,
boldest. and most dangerous of the
fraternity make their headquarters, it
appears impossible to dislouge them
by any means known 10 the detective
officers Of the road, consequently the
company has resorted to other and
more effective means which will doubt
less prove successful. Orders have
been issued to train men TO allow their
trains to remain no longer than is alb
solutely necessary at that station. and
emigrant rains-from which the con-
hdence men a ptheir richest harvest
are permitted to remain no longer than
is absolutely necessary to obtain water
from the tank, which does not take
o than a minute, not giving the
sharpers time t. operate upon the pas
sengers. AS this arrangement inter
feres materially with the business OF
the town, citizens will doubtless do al.
IN their power to get rid of the class Of
that is tho cause of the order be-
ing made. and The expert pas,eboard
will have to seek some
other field for future operations.

BEAT.

The last issue of the Panamint Ners.
goes aner D. P. Carr, who was for q
short time connected with that paper.
It seems that when the Ne9s ~
started Carr was engaged by Manager
Harris. OF the Pananin. Publishing
Company, to write for the paper. The
Office force being light at that time, the
manager was compelled to assist on
the '.inside" work incidental to a
printing office, and to such an extent
that he found it absolutely impossible
to attend to the necessary "outside"
business soliciting advertisements,
the delivery of the paper, ETC.. and sub
sequently employed Carr to attend to
that part Of the business also. Carr
q, once started out, and in a hort time.
through the liberality of the busi-
ness men of Panamint. who were de
sirous Of assisting in the establish
ment and support of a newspaper, sue
ceeded in procuring nearly all of the
cards which are published in the Ne,rs.
The first paper was printed on the
18th ult., and next day Carr delivered
the paper to the numerous subscribers
he had obtained, collecting pay from
oil, excepting. perhaps, a hali-dozen
or so, for one weeks subscription.
Instead, however. of returning to the
office and paying over the amount he
had collected. less his commission. he
went to many of the business men and
represented to them that he was a
member of the Panamint Publishing
Company" that the company was
short of money 10 pay the men,
etc., and on the strength of this,
succeeded in obtaining sums OF
money from them varying in
amounts from S. to 800, and
on Saturday morning, al an early
hour, left for other parts, "where,
undoubtedly, he will pursue a similar
course" For this reason,' SAL the
Neus, 1--WE consider it a duty we W
the public. TO show this dead beat up
IN his true colorS. Among the Victims
of Carr are an old woman who did
washing for him, his clearinghouse
keeper, his shoemaker for a pair of SIS
boots, an old friend who was burned
out in the Reno FIRE and who came
here with a little money to open a
chop-house. a young man who hauled
him on his wagon to Aurora, sharing
his blankets and, after arriving here,
loaning them TO him, and another
man who is seriously sick. Besides
the subscriptions he received for the
paper. he collected pay for three
months advertising i'll advance from
many of our patrons. This loss will
fail pretty heavily on the News, as We
have heen at a good deal of expense III
commencing the publication OF Il
paper; but if the enterprising citizens
of Pananiint will only lend us a
hand and see US through we will
endeavor, On a short time, to present TO
them a paper which will not only rep
resent. but do honor 10 the Pananint
District"

CORRECTION.

It's said that a peculiarly sensitive
Frcnchman will commit suicide if any
article of his food is not prepared in the
style exactly in accordance with his
taste. If there is any such man living,
he would soon put an end to himself il
he attcmptedto edit newspaper, for pro-
voking errors will occur in spite of
everything. For instance, yesterday the
REGISTER was made to say that the Dem
ocratic party would always GPProre the
social equality doctrine OF its opponents,
when it intended to say oppose. We re-
greet that any such fragrant absurdity
should have crept into our columns. The
article alluded to in this connection APP
pearcd, we believe, in the West Viz
ginia Chronicle, and not, as stated, in the
West IilyiniGH.
