FATAL sHoorrHe. ABOUT 4 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon ,Samuel@Wi lcoxen
proprietor of the Eagle Brewery, or
Menagerie Saloon, on 3 Street, viz
ginia City, was shot and almost in
stantly killed by a man named
James Glaze, who was tending bar
in the establishment. AS is the case
in affairs of this kind, considerable
diversity exists in the reports of the
occurrence, but it seems to be more
generally believed that, while Sam.
Wilcoxen was sitting in a, room in
the rear of his saloon, conversing
with a woman, Glaze entered the
saloon, and not seeing him, penetra-
ted to the rear room; that, upon
opening the door, Glaze told Will
coxen that he wished to settle that
matter, or words to that effect; that
Wilcoxen replied that he did not
wish to hear a word from him. ad-
ding an opprobrious epithet; where
upon Glaze pulled out his revolver
and shot Wilcoxen, the ball enter
ing about an inch and a-half below
the left nipple, passing obliquely
through the body and lodging above

diatelv arrested and taken to the
County Jail. Wilcoxen died at
about twenty minutes to 5 O'Clock,
having been conscious to the last.
The Coroner was Immediately no
tilted, and the flags over the Engine-
houses were hoisted at half-mast, out
of respect to his memory. Both par
ties engaged in this affair are we'll
known IN Virginia City, having re-
sided there some twelve or fifteen
years. Wilcoxen formerly worked
as blacksmith, but of late years he
has been engaged in the saloon bus
mess. Glaze, who is better known
as " Uncle Jim,t' is abouts70 years
of age, has served in the Mexican
War, and, notwithstanding blood
curdling recitals of adventures in
which he had been engaged, was
considered a quiet, inoffensive man.
The revolver with which the deed
was done belonged to Wilcoxen, and
is an eight-inch six shooter of the
Remington pattern, which has al
ready figured in "a murder ease.
About two years ago Perkins. we'll
known desperate, shot an English
man named Smith in the 1nterna-
tional Saloon, without the least
provocation, with this pistol-a deed
for which Perkins was hung by
g 6Ol;" and it was for this very rea,
son that Wilcoxen, who was fond Of
curiosities, priced the weapon. The
funeral will take place on Sunday
afternoon next, at two o'clock, un-
der the auspices Of Washoe Engine
Company, No. 4, of which deceased
was a member. 43C as

FIGHT WITH INDIANs.-A Chica-


go dispatch of September Sth says
Lieut.. General Sheridan received a
dispatch from General Pope, COM
handing the District of the Mis-
souri,, tonight, with the report of
Colonel Miles from the camp on
Red River, August 3lst, via Fort
Dodge, September sth, of decisive
battle with about five hundred con
federated Bad hostile Indians the
day befor& August 30th. Colonel
Miles command had been in pursuit
of these Indians for ten days over
a terribly rough and almost impas-
sible country before they could be
brought,to q stand. The route was
strewn with their stores, which they
had thrown away to accelerate their
flight. The troops fought splendid
Nv, and the victory was complete.
Some thirty Indians were killed and
many more wounded, while the
casualties to the troops were only
one badly wounded. Colonel Miles
command was, at the date of this
dispatch, 1913 miles -fron their base
ofsupplies, and their supplies would
be exhausted about the 18th, but
General Pope had ordered supply
train sent, which will reach him
before that date.

would have proved most disastrous.
As it was, little damage was done,

our readers in this place will agree

SOME of the constituents of men,
bers of Congress who have been re-
nominated, are writing to Washing
ton to ascertain if they drew their
back-pay. The Treasury Depart
ment, luckily for the salary grabbers,
is unable or unwilling to furnish the
desired information. But means will
doubtless be devised before the close
of the campaign by which the truth
will be known. There are thousands
of honest men throughout the coun-
try who Will not cast their votes for
men who so basely betrayed their
trust as to plumber the people whose
interests they We're sworn to defend.
The salary grabbing iniquity can
not be kept too prominently before
the people, and all who voted for it
will be held responsible.

WORD TO THE WISE Whenever MI attempt
themselves into positive assertions, to cast
false light upon truth, it is sign of unquali-
fed classification. Now it has become truism
acknowledged throughout the community,
that Banner Brothers, the great clothiers, pos
sess such facilities for purchasing of the raw
material, and for the manufacturing of fine
clothing, that competition has become an alb
solute failure and when small concerns insin-
uate that they can sell as good an article of
clothing at low prices as Banner Brothers
do, they simply intend to canvey a meaning
that they dare not assert and cannot suh*ta-
tiate. We throw down the gauntlet of defiance
to these vaunters, and challenge them, one and
all, II benefit the public as We have done, and
are doing, by selling fine clothing at low prices
We can afford to sell clothing much cheaper
than any other house in this State. and we do
it. Having factory and importing house at

We need not pay importers, manufacturers and

albumen will appear, or the color will be of q
thin or milkish hue, again changing to dark
and torpid appearance There are many men
