TRAGEDY We learned
that quite tragedy had occurred at Ell
noraao Canyon, in this county. 1t ap-
,oars that some difficulty occurred be-
.oor two men named Jones and Pyatt.
Ate, some hard words passed, weapons
uors drawn, and several shots inter
'sauoed Both men were wounded. but
I Innas if is supposed thought that Pyatt
49, ;n;nred more severely than actually
m"s ,he case. At any rate. he retreated,
"" o3 sntrenched himself among some
" "noi,s and deied all attempts to subdue
i h;on Finding that Pyatt was not hurt
mn, ,roh as was at first believed, a man
.omad King went to Jones' retreat to
."m Rim So and to ask him to come out.
The result of the attempt was that King
was killed. The citizens tnen rose, sur
rounded Jones and killed him.
AMUSED we were yesterday after
noon, and were strongly reminded of
Toodles trying to catch the fly. A man
who had far to big load of benzine to
mack at one time, was trying to go up
Meadow Valley street, but the many
steps on the sidewalk were too much for
him. He would either step too high or
TOO low, but the result WAS the same,
down he came, and then he would make
another attempt, but with no better sue
cess. So at last disguised at the traps
and pitfalls, he took the road, and after
caroming Oh q milk wagon and doing his
best to get along he staggeringly disap-
peared from our view.
A New CoMER.-Yesterday Mr.. Alex
ander, the well.known druggist of this
town, showed US letter by which We
learned that he had become the father of
bouncing healthy boy. We were very
glad to find that Mrs Alexander, who is
a most e.timable lady and wins the re.
gard of all who know her. is rapidly re-
covering, and that mother and child are
doing well. They are now in Lexington,
Mo-, and probably will not return to
Phoebe until the Summer is far nd
yauced.
A BRANcH,-Sutterley & Hudnell, the
well.known photographers, are about to
open branch Of their establish ment at
Bullionville. The folks in that burgh,
Panaca and the surrounding country
will have an opportunity to get pictures
taken in the finest style Of the art. Mr..
Sutterley we have known for years as a
proficient in his business, and he always
succeeds in predicting as pleasing like
ness as the appearance of the subject
will permit. .
BASE BALL.-A grand contest is to
take place on Sunday OF Bullionville be-
tween the Base Ball Clubs OF Phoebe and
Bullionville. The boys are eager to
show their skill, and no doubt there will
be some excellent playing. In another
column will be found the time of the
train leaving and returning to Phoebe,
which on this occasion will be altered to
suit the convenience of the pleasure
seekers.
GALvIN.-The condition of this un.
fortunate man is much improved, and we
are glad to say that there is every pros.
pect of his early and complete recovery.
The wound, though quite severe, has not
brought on any dangerous symptoms.
and 1t is most probable that he will
shortly be convalescent.
YESTERDAY there was slight rumpus
on Main street. A couple of ranchmen
had wordy war but did not come to
blows. One wouldn't and probably the
other didn't want to, so all was quiet,
which is very sensible way of ending
an alteration.
EXAMINATION. - Mr.. Sultan, County
Superintendent Of Public Schools, gives
notice that the examination of those
who offer themselves as school teachers
will take place on Wednesday, the goth
instant.
DRY1NG.-Though the weather during
the last few days has been very change
able, still the condition of our roads and
streets has much improved, for which
We are certainly very thankful.
RETuRSED,-We were glad to welcome
our Trend James Finley, who has jus,
returned from a trip to Arizona.
FLORAL NlLL,-We find that this mill
mas oeen thoroughly overhauled and will
probably soon be in motion.
