TOMMY KELLEY KILLS A MAJ
IN RENO.

EAI1sEY KILLS. n MAN
IN RENO.
Full Particulars OF the Homicide.
Last Friday night Tommy Kelley, a
former resident of Eureka, killed a
man by the name of Pagan in Reno.
Kelley was an early settler in Eureka.
and at one time oficiated here as a
deputy constable or policeman. He
was of q quarrelsome disposition and
engaged in n or more shooting
scrapes while residing In this place.
He left here about eight months ago,
ty order, as he claimed at the time, Of
the Vigilance Committee. The follow.
ing account Of the difficulty ut Reno is
from the Journal of last Saturday:
Last night, at 10 o'clock, j.. w. Fa-
gan was killed by Tom Kelly while
q%uarreling with him. As near as we
could learn from the numerous JUNIORS
ahOat in the crowd which gathered,
the particulars Of the afrav are as fol-
lows: Some years ago Pagan had a
valuable pup in Salt Lake CITY, which
he thought q good deal OF. This pup
was suddenly missing, and he had not
US6u dOIO w iJuu IL INV 1AOII.Ns ~
lived in Salt Lake at the time Pagan
say the least. looks much like the
missing animal. He was very proud
of it and claims that he bought him.
Pagan asserted that it was his and in.
sisted on taking him. Both men had
been drinking and quarreling together
pretty much all afternoon and ven
ing, until at last they got more than
usually vehement in the Interna.
tional Hotel, and from high words
they proceeded to blows and Pagan
slapped Kelly's face. The latter drew
his pistol and struck him over the
head. cutting q deep cash and knock
ing him down on his knees. He then
fired two shots, one Of which struck
him in the groin, completely severing
The femoral artery. Pagan was un-
armed, and after the shooting COM
menced attempted to dodge behind a
post. He fell when shot the last time
and did not speak a word after, but
gasled for breath for some fifteen
minutes and then died. Kelly was ar
rested by Under Sheriff Kinkead and
lodged in the county Jail. Pagan re
ceived all the medical and surgical at
tention possible, hut to no avail. His
body was taken charge Of by under
taker Sanders. at whose rooms an in
quest was held this morning. He had
only arrived in Reno, having come in
on the emigrant train yesterday AFTER
noon. He had his baggage checked
preparatory to going away on the v.
and T. express train. He was going
to Empire City, where a former part
ner assured him was a good Openi ng
for his buSiness-a shoema ker. He
leaves a wife and two children at Salt
Lake.

A Mountain Of Saw Logs.

In the log pocket of the Boom Com
pany, about two miles above this village,
may be seen a sight which, to the prac-
tical man, is worth travelling many miles
to gaze upon. There are more than one
hundred million feet of saw logs piled
in one immense mass, an eighth of a
mile in width, ten to thirty feet in
depth, and three miles IN length. The
high water has kept crowding them
down until they are piled fifteen feet
high above the waters edge, and as much
below it in many places. They are
sticking up in every conceivable direc-
ton and shape, some of them on end.
with the lower part several feet above
the level of the water, and within few
feet of these you will step on the end of
another which, standing straight, !jnst
protrudes over the current. 1t seems as
if they had been piled together much
as the glaciers are formed, layer upon
la, er and log upon log, until they have
reached their present position. One can
imagine the tremendous force with which
this immense mass wonlh precipitate it,
self down the river if anything should
give way; but fortunately everything is
firm. Something of an idea of the value
of the mass may be formed when it is
known that the logs are worth an aver.

81 Spy -

Mr.. Edward Bellamy thus describes a
familiar phase of village life The-ev-
ening was moonless and rather cool:
There is something in such evenings
that rouses the imp of mischief in the
Juvenile bosom. Boys, not having any
sentimental nature, feel the thrill and
stimulus of spring exclusively in an &C.
cession of activity, and zest for out-of-
door life, which boils over in every sort
OF mischief againat in door folks.
On such evenings as this, bands of
nrchins race about the streets, playing
i spy" and "Bankallilla," while Others
tie strings across the sidewalk in shady
spots, and from behind trees watch with
ecstacy and irrepressible laughter, which
too often betrays them, the tri pa and falls
of unwary pedestrians. Still others are
ringing door bells and gloating from Sc
cure coverts over the evaporation of the
householder, whose company smile can
be seen by the light Of his lamp sudden
ly changing to an expression of disgust,
as he finds himself the victim of ia.
miliar trick. Some more cautious lads
tie string to the knob and thus ring the
bell from across the street. The chances
are that the one who answers the bell
will not detect the string. and the con
trivance can be worked till the family il
half distracted This is rare night fol
mischief, and there will be bells pulled
before bedtime
This little chap in roundahouts, fol
instance, is evidently brimful Of impi,h
ness.
See him stealing along the dusk,
street like an Indian scout, his brigh
eyes peering on every side for opportun
tiles for pranks. Now, just for the sen
sation of it, he hides behind bush as
pedestrian passes, and then, pretending
glides stealthily along behind the un
conscious object of his espionage, witt
an immense afectation of caution, til
the latter turns in at some gate. No,
he sees another lad approaching, and
tingling with excitement, puts himsel
in ambush. See him quivering like
cat about to spring. Now he jumps ou
there is little scrimmage. and shortl
the two fall to comparing notes as t
their exploits of the evening, and plot
ting new ones. Oh, it is rare fun to be

A Turret-Ship's Armament.

The harbor of New York was guarded
by the Roanoke, which has four turrets
and eight gums; but most of the other
turret-ships have only two turrets each.
The turrets are armored with solid iron
plates, eleven inches thick, backed with
wadding; and the guns which they con.
tain weigh twenty-five tons. A twenty
two tons gun, You may be sure, is ter
rible instrument Of destruction; but /
don't suppose you can guess the immense
weight of the shot which it will throw.
hundred pounds, seems great, but the
actual weight of each shot fired by the
Roanoke ia fonr hundred and forty
pounds, and thus the eight guns fired at
once would pour three thousand FIVE

Think for moment of the effect of

And some of ;he British turret-ships
like the Glatton and the Thunderer,
even carry guns which throw shots
weighing six hundred pounds eachl

The Fitch Diamonds.

1t is expected that General Sherman
will remove the Fitch diamonds, made
free Of duty by act of Congress, from
the Sub Treasury, where they are now
locked up, within couple of days. The
diamonds in question are the famous
gift of the Khedive of Egypt to General
Sherman's daughter. Mrs. Fitch. They
have been in this city for little over
a year, awaiting the action of Congress.
Their value has been estimated from
$75, 900 to 100000. The necklace and
earrings are superb. The Turkish Min
lister, who might by the prerogative OF
his Office have received them without
paying duty, has not shown any interest
in the matter, as the present was from
the Khedive, who is q mere vassal Of
the Sultan of Turkey.-[New York

In front of the St. Nicholas Hotel he

seemed to turn into gold az if by magic.
Some years ago he purchased the Park

The Tallest Man i'm America-LOng

The papers are speaking of a tall man
named Thruston, who now lives on
White Oak Creek, Titus county, Texas
We happen to be well acquainted with
Henry Thruston. He is half brother
to DR.. Thruston, of Versailles, Missouri.
Mr.. Thruston went to California some
years before the war, and his compan-
ions had great deal of fun with him.
When they saw train of wagons CONF
ing meeting them, they would carefully
conceal Henry in wagon, and when the
train came up they would manage to in
troduce the subject of tall men. They
would propose to bet any sum that they
had the taliest man in the crowd. 1t 80
happened that most of Henry's com
panions were of medium statue, and j.
was not hard TO get up bet. When the
money would be staked they would
bring Henry out of the wagon, ard pro,
pose TO have the measurement take
place right away. The beaten party
never failed TO enjoy the joke. and al

A Boston Relic.

OF the public buildings standing in
Boston hundred years ago but four
remain, and In order of age these are,
Christ Church, the Old South, the Old
State Honse, and the Stone Chapel The
first and last named remains essentially
unchanged Christ Chnr. h lost its stee-
pie in the gale of 1904, and il was re-
built in 1907. Stone Chapel remains
jnst as it was a century ago, without and
within. In 1859 the Queens Chapel,
the first Episcopal church in New Eng
land, was erected on the site of the
present Stone Chapel, on the corner of
School and fremont streets. 1t was
named Queens Chapel in honor of
Queen Anne; then Kings Chapel, for
her successor; and on the termination of
the Colonial Government the present
edi6ce took the name of Stone Chapel.
although the preceding name was, and is
still, sometimes, used. The original
chapel, small wooden structure, re-
mained till 1910, when it was enlarged
to nearly double it's original size. In
1749 the cornerstone of the present
Stone Chapel was laid by Governor
Shirley. In 1856, new organ was
purchased, bnilt by Adam Smith. of
London, In 1880, the rector. allnding
to this organ, said:-"The tradition that
i, was selected by Handle himself should
he accepted as founded in truth. Handl-
died in 1858; and, although blind eight
years before, his ears most probably
indged of its tones and powers, and his
own hands have rested on the keys."-
This organ was in use from 1856 to 1860
The only Centennial clocks remaining in
Boston are in Christ Church and the
Stone Chapel. The Stone Chapel clock
was presented by Ebenezer Oliver, Esq.
1t is said to be 100 years old, and curI-
ously constructed. The tnlv existing
bells that were rung in Boston hundred
years ago are the Christ Church chime,
cast in England in 1744, and the Chapel
bell, placed in the tower some 125 years
ago. 1t ia a fine old English bell, and
WAS afterwards cracked, but was repair
ed. The same accident again happen
ing, it.was recast by the Revere Comp
any in 1916, the original metal only be-
ing used.
