FATAL ACCIDENT AT PIOCHE.

The Phoebe Journal, of the 9Th Inst,
gives the subjoined account of "a fatal
accident at hat place. We believe the
gentleman whose untimely death is
chronicled was formerly 8. resident of
Treasure City, White Pine county.
Says the Journal:
Yesterday morning an event of a
more than ordinary melancholy nature
occurred. Col. Il. Lane, was driving
the team of Clark Bros, on Lower
Main street, when the horses took
fright and ran away, colliding with an
other team, %upsetting the wagon, and
Col. Lane was thrown heavily to the
ground, his head striking a rock, and
received a fatal wound ove thetemple.
He was taken up and taken to Mrs.
Grambs' clearinghouse. Medical aid
was summoned at once, but despite
that and all the are that kind hands
could bestow, the unfortunate lnan
died oon after. His mortal remains
were taken charge of by his brethren
of the Masonic fraternity, and at 5
O'Clock this afternoon the funeral will
take place. Col. Lane was well known
in this community and his melancholy
death is a source OF poignant grief to
his many friends. Deceased was a ma
tive of New Hampshire, a California
Pioneer, aud in his SD year. An au-

PROMPT ACTION DEMANDED.

We never yet heard of a Supreme
Court that was moi tardy in rendering
it's decisions. Cases are submitted and
months may intervene before opin-
ions are promulgated. We are led to
these reflections by a very simple
little case that has engaged the at
tention of our Supreme Court for some
weeks. We allude to the gambling
law, about the validity of which a con-
~troversy has grown up. 1t is a case
in which every county in the State
is interested. AS matters now stand,
the proper officers are entirely at fault
as to whether they should collect I'M
der the old or new law or make no
collections at all. In a word, the off,
GERS are in a middle all oyer the State
as t the proper Interpretation OF
the statute. This state of affairs
should not be permitted to exist a
day longer than is absolutely neces-
sary. The Supreme Court ought to
be able t 0 settle the vexed question
in an hour, if disposed to do so. 1t
is not a matter requiring a great deal
Of research, and the tribunal in ques-
ton owes it to the people to act
promptly in the premises. We don't
like to find fault with any public off,
cial, or any number of them, but we
do insist that this gambling law shall
be passed upon without further delay.
Several Of the eastern counties, to our
certain knowledge, are losing money
every day through the inability of
the officers to collect the gaming
license. Gentlemen of the Supreme
Bench, let us have your decision.

& ELY.

We are pleased to hear favorable
reports from this representative Phoebe
mine. In conversation yesterday with
a gentleman who passed west on the
stage, we learned that the prospects q
the Raymond a. Ely are daily grow
ing brighter. The Record also has an
encouraging article on the same subject,
which we reproduce, as follows:
In spite of accidents and setbacks
there Is no reasonable cause to doubt
that our mining prospects are daily
becoming brighter and more reliable.
We say this, not so much from any
particular development that has been
made during the last few days, but be-
cause the general tone of all concerned
in the welfare Of mines is more hope
full and steadfast. The western ground
of the Raymond d Ely looks as we'll

explorations show conclusively that

that at a very great depth it becomes

pACMECO

The California Republicans hold
their State Convention in Sacramento
the present week. So far as VIZ are
able to Judge there will be no great
rivalry for the various nominations.
Mr.. Dennis has agreed to stop over
at the capital of our neighboring State,
and we shall probably be furnished
with full particulars of the doings of
the convention as early as is practical
BILE. At this distance, it looks very
much like Pacheco is the coming man
for the gubernatorial nomination. We
opine that he has but little show of
winning the race, and yet he APP
pears to be the most available candi-
date in the Republican ranks. The
Sacramento Herald, a Democratic
print, has the following to say of him:
There appears to be no doubt that
Governor Pacheco has determined to
make a vigorous push for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor.
All OF his acts of late point straight in
that direction, and the party appears
to have no more available candidate
for that position. 1t is fitting, also,
that a native of California, who has
given so many proofs OF honesty and
capacity in public life as has Gov
ernor Pacheco, should be made the
standard bearer of the party of which
he has been so long a prominent and
active member.

WHAT SHALL BE THE VERDICT ?

There is a deal of responsibility rest
ing upon those twelve men acting as
jurors in the great Beecher scandal
case. What will their verdict be ?
That is the question agitating the
public mind. We believe that Beecher
will be acquitted by the jury if not by
the great public. We do not arrive at
this conclusion from the testimony or
the merits Of the case, but from the
supposition that a great pressure will
be brought to bear upon the members
of the jury, individually and collect
lively, by Plymouth Church. Some of
our Eastern exchanges are already
limiting that the grossest corruption
has been practiced in the interest of
the defendant. A correspondent of the
Buffalo Courier thus gives his impress
sions of the final wind-up of the re-
ncwned case:
Everybody says the jury will disa-
gree, and there are some who hint that
It would disagree anyhow. "Do you
SUPPOSE" 1 heard a lawyer ask yes
terday, "that Plymouth Church is GO
ing to let this thing take its own course
with the jury? Not a bit of it. The
Plymouth people paid particular atten-
ton to the jurors all through, and they
are not going to stop now. | don't
mean to say that any of the jury can
be bought, but / do say that ii money
can prevent a verdict against Mr..
Beecher, no such verdict will be found.
If Beach and Fullerton do not watch
the Jurors and the Plymouth people
very closely, they are greater fools
than / take them to be-" Beach aud
Fullerton, and their associates, Nor
ris and Pryor, are watching things
pretty closely, and not, it seems, with
out good reason. There are whisper
jngs of startling disclosures to be made
when the jury shall be heard from, but
as they may be mere gossip of which
the trial has given us an abundant
crop, I will NOT repeat them. The only
thing in connection with the result that
it would be perfectly safe to swear by
is this: The women of Plymouth
Church will stick to Mr.. Beecher all
the closer if the jury impugns his true
~inwardness in the slightest degree.

Ike Brokaw is well known to many
people In Nevada. He used to live in
Virginia City in the early days, and
during the flush times in Meadow
Lake he was Marshal of that flourish
ing but short-lived city. He afterward
went to San Francisco, where he got
into q difficulty which resulted in the
killing of his man. He was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to sixteen years
imprisonment in San Quentin. The
other day Governor Pacheco pardoned
him, as the annexed, from a Califor-
exchange, will more clearly show:
A pardon was yesterday issued by
Governor Pacheco to Isaac Il. Brokaw,
who was convicted at the January
term, 1872, of the Fifteenth District
Court, San Francisco, Of murder in the
second degree, for killing "White
Headed Bob," and sentenced to six
teen yearsimprisonment. The pardon
recites that the prisoner has been pun
ished nearly four years, during which
time his conduct has been unexcep-
tiopal; his pardon has been petitioned
for by q large number of prominent
citizens of California and Nevada, in
Guiding the District Attorney who
prosecuted him and a majority of the
Jury who found him guilty; the Judge
who sentenced him informs the Gov
ornor s'there were mitigating circum-
stances connected with the preparation
Of the homicide, to which my attention
was not directed, which would have
compelled me-. in justice to the prison
or, to have imposed the least penalty

EyLARGEMENTOrTHE SENTINEL

We take occasion to announce b a
the SENTINEL will be enlarged to its
proportions of last yer in about two
weeks from date. During Mr.. Dennis
absence he will send up some needed
supplies, and just as soon as the same
are received the enlargement will take
place. Eastern Nevada, and Eureka
in particular, never promised better
than now, and we are determined that
the SENTINEL shall keep pace with the
improved order of things around us.
1t has always been the aim of the pro-
prietors to publish just as good a paper
as the patronage extended to it would
Justify. With the greatly improved
prospects now dawning upon this
section of the State, we feel able to doa
little better than in the past, and we in
tend to do it regardless of cost. 1t is
not necessary in this article to men,
ton in detail the many Improvements
contemplated, but we assure our pa
irons that we shall at all times strenu-
ously endeavor to publish a paper
commensurate with the progress and
growing wants Of the district.

The Tribune's Washington special
says: Secretary Bristow called on
General Spinner yesterday and with
him visited the Bureaus of the Treas
urer's office. The Secretary expressed
great sympathy with General Spinner
in his misfortune. One of the results
of the visit has been that the Secretary
has issued a general order forbidding
visitors from seeing the vaults or bond
room, or any room where money is
kept. For many years these places
have been among the notable sights in
Washington. The practice has grown
up in the Treasury Department ofissu-
ing almost unlimited permits to visit
them.

A duel took place yesterday between

co merchant of Havana and New

mate friends for many years and lived
together i'll New York. Curtis arrived
here two weeks ago and was stopping
at Cortreala's house. He states that
yesterday morning he was awakened
by Cortreala slapping his face and &C
accusing him of Illicit connection with
his wife. This Curtis denied and not
words ensued, which resulted in a
challenge to fight a duel and its accept
ance. That afternoon both men pro-
ceeded in carriages to Mariana without
witnesses, and on arriving dismissed
the carriages. Five shots were fired
by each, beginning at a distance OF
twenty feet and firing as they advanced.
At the fifth discharge Curtis was seri-
ously wounded in the hip and fell to
the ground, fainting from pain and
the loss of blood. Upon recovering
Consciousness he says he saw Ccrtreala
reload his revolver, place it at his
