Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1874-05-09

suIcrpE.-Yesterday morning a man
came riding down Meadow Valley street
AZ a break. neck pace, but suddenly halted
at DIR. Deals drug store, on Main street.
On enquiry we were told that a man,
named Gottleib Steinkoop, who kept the
Railway saloon on the top Of the bill,
hoa ont his throat, and that the man who
,sas riding 80 furiously was a messenger
sent for DR.. Deal. In few minutes that
gentleman started, and our reporter fol-
loved, On reaching the place we found
that the would-be suicide had not cut
10 throat. but had divided an artery IN
b;s left arm, from which large quantity
- blood had flowed. When we saw him
tbe arm had stopped bleeding and he
was living quietly in bed, and by no
means looked like dying man. To.
wards evening we made some enquiries
ne TO the condition of the wounded man,
and much to our surprise we learned
that he had expired a short time before
we had made the enquiry. From what
we could CLEAN as to the cause of death,
il appears that the deceased had been
drinking a great deal for the last few
DAYS and wounded himself in tenn
porary fit of delirium, and that his death
was caused by the combined effects of
excessive drinking, lack of proper food
and a malignant diarrhea, superadded
TO the loss of blood caused by the wound
inflicted on himself. The Coroner will
hold an inquest on the body this
morning.
AyALIAST HEN.-On Lacour street q
motherly old hen was busy clucking
around her brood OF chickens when big
dog came along and commenced to take
liberties with the infant roosters. This
was more than hen nature could stand,
and she brstling feathers and distended
wings few at his dogship, got a post of
vantage on his back, and by vigorous APP
plication of beck and wings SO annoyed
the intruder, that big as he was, he fairly
turned pale, and sought less belligerent
scenes, while Mrs. Hen collected her
scattered brood, and conveyed them to a
place of safety in fine style. Moral-If
you are big, do not take liberties with
those who are smaller or weaker than
yourself, for you may get the worst Of it.
TANGLE-rooT.-Last evening fellow
going down Main street must have had a
terrible dose. 1t seemed as if the street
was not wide enough, and that he was
trying to walk on both sidewalks at
once. A sailor remarked that he ought
to steer smaller, and not make such by
yaws in his course; while another thought
his compasses were affected by local at
traction, and we think they were, for
when he got below Lacour street he took
an accurate measure of his length on the
roadway. However he soon got to his
feet again, and like Rosin the Beau 8
pail bearers, went staggering along to his
home.
RETIRED.-We regret to announce that
L. p. Lehman has retired from the Pho
neer Stables. From his urbane and ac-
commodating manners he made many
friends during the few months that he
conducted the business. We hope that
LIE will soon establish himself in this
town, where he is SO favorably known
and respected.
Mrs. HICKox, the well-known modiste,

ment of the latest styles of ladies' hats

sey and others-besides an elegant as
sortment of millinery. She invites the

new styles.
