HANGING OF JOHNNY STEWART.

Johnny Stewart, convicted and sen
fenced to death for killing Frank Du-
rand at Columbus about year ago, was
hung at Aurora, Nevada, at P. NJ. on
Friday last. Sheriff Helm acting as exc
cutionsr. The hanging was witnessed
by about fifty spectators. The prisoner
on leaving his cell stated to the officers
that he had bat one request to make,
namely, that he be allowed a free indulg-
ence III alcoholic beverages until the mo-
ment of dissolution. Our informant,
who witnessed the execution, states that
his request was complied with, the bot
tlsholder standing by him and giving
him drink whenever he desired it. Be
fore ascending the scafold he gave utter-
ance to the following aphorisms, being
evidently under the influence OF liquor:
If you take the mountain road you

DEATH After his eyes had been ban
daged and the hangman's moose had
been adjusted about his neck. he vas
asked if he had anything else to say,
whereupon, he spoke briefly as follows:
Il never knowingly have wronged any
man. 1 love my friends and hate my
enemies. never yet followed up an en-
envy without overhauling him. Turn
ing to an acquaintance he handed him
half consumed paper of tobacco, saying:
Give this to Larry Murphy of Genoa
and tell him that the last man who took
, chew from that paper of tobacco was
Johnny Stewart. When the moment
for the execution to take place arrived
The trap-door was let fall and the doomed
man was launched into eternity with
scarcely struggle. 1t is commonly re-
ported that Stewart had murdered two
men prior to the killing of Durand. He

,eration at Aurora, but was subsequent |

night the Odd Fellows of Carson had q
quiet, pleasant little dance at the hall Of
Lodge No. 4. About twenty couples
were present, and q large amount of
dancing was done in few hours, as all
could dance at once, and yet there was
room; so at about half past twelve the
party broke up, the participants retiring
well pleased with themselves and the
world at large. The music was furnished
by Flanders band, and consisted of four
pieces. Good as usual-and Bob does
not furnish any but the best.

In TowN.--We always take pleasure
in notifying our readers when any no.
torious person comes to town. Some
tins ago We had tho pleasure of noting
the arrival of Patsey Hogan, that great
and good man. bnt yesterday we had the
honor of meeting on the street the editor
Of the Daily Reno Crescent. The editor
has grown stout STAGE he commenced
publishing daily, and is getting young
as well as beautiful. We think he is
here on business, for he was very active
and had just time to give us one Of those
mild grips of the hand, when he disap-
peared in the crowd and was gone.
