ACEALINGS.

The Elko INDEPENDENT has the follow
ing: Our old Mountain City friend, jill.
Bacon, in company with Vance, of the
mill at that place, came down from
the mountains on Wednesday. From
Mr.. Bacon we learn of an occurrence
which has cast a gloom over that entire
section of country, the particulars of
which are as follows: A we'll known
resident of Mountain CITY named Mat.
Hurt, started across the O ain for
Bruno, on the first instant, and alter
several days had passed, it was discov-
cred that he had failed to reach his des-
tination. Soon as the facts in the case
became known, parties from both
camps started Immediately to search
for the missing man, but notwithstand-
ing their dilige at and prolonged efforts
no trace of him has yet been discOv-
cred. Snow was fa ling at the time he
| set out on his perilous Journey, and
friends tried to dissuade him from at
tempting the trip, but being naturally
a fearless ma he apprehended no dam
ger. and his temerity has, beyond all
doubt, cost him his life. Mr.. Hurt
was a pioneer of that section, having
located at Mountain City in 1869. He
was in the prime Of life, and was uni
versally beloved and respected by all
who knew him, for his many sterling
qualities and genial disposition.
Two Sclavonians, named Theodore
Giurgevich and n. ~Ivancoyich, had an
alteration in Virginia recently, which
ended by the former being seriously
and perhaps fatally stabbed by the lat
ter. The ARRAY occurred in a cabin on
Sodth q street, near the Hale and Nor
cross dump. The two men above
named, and a man named John Vuco-
vich, lived together in a cabin. The
two first named had a quarrel about
the possession Of $l25, which was held
| by the former. Giurgevich says that
Ivancovlch tried to take the money
from him 10y force, and did succeed in
getting about 81 5 away from him, and
hat during the struggle ~Ivancovich
stabbed him.
On last Saturday morning, says the
Borar Miner, the outgoing Stage was
robbed of two bars OF Tile Sweetapple
bullion at Belleville. The stage ar
| rives there before day-break, and it is
moi positively known whether the bull
lion was stolen while the driver was
watering his team at the tank, or while
he vas loading on the Northern Belle
bullion at the express office.
