died q lew hours Afterwards. Lyle
Donahue and some other persons were
in VIM. Morse's saloon, when some
words passed between the former two
shortly afterwards Lyle stepped Out
ofthe~ saloon, followed by Donahue, who
kneeled down on the ground and, TAX.
ing deliberate aim with his pistol, fired.
He gave no intimation that he was go.
ing to shoot. and, although they had
had some difficulty q short time previ-
icably settled. The greatest excite
ment was created by the murder.
Donahue was taken by the citizens.
Deputy Constable WinslOw shortly az
forwards rescued the prisoner from his
captors, but only held him a short
time before he was retaken by the citi-
zens. He was allowed to pick his own
jury, with the agreement, II the propo-
sition received eight votes out of twelve
that he was TO be turned over to the
officers. We presume that number of
votes was obtained, as he was after
wards placed in the custody of Con-
stable Stone, by whom he was being
taken to Hamilton in the stage when
the vehicle was stopped and the pris-
oEer taken by number Of armed men,
as stated in Sundays issue. George
Stone, the driver of the Hamilton
stage, informs US that he was told by
the driver who runs to Ward, that
Donahue was hanged by his cap
tors. The execution took place neal
the spot where he was taken from
the stage, and when the driver
passed there on Saturday on his way
to Hamilton, he saw the body of
the murderer suspended from an i'm.
provised gallows near the roadside.
MINING AT CoRrEz.-From County
Assessor Powell, who recently re-
turned from q trip to Cortez district,
we learn that 8. Wenban's mill is In
full blast. working ore from the Gar
rison mine. The Buckner furnace,
which has been recently erected at the
mill, works like a charm and Is a
complete success in every particular.
The ore now being worked contains q
considerable quantity of base metal
and will average but about $50 per ton.
The streak of low grade ore i'm the
mine, however, has disappeared aud a
fine rein OF chloride struck, which will
work from $500 to 800 per ton. The
entire properly Is owned by Mr.. Win
ban, b has worked it for many
years. and whose perseverance, and in
dustry entitle him TO the success which
he Is evidently upon the eve Of at
tanning. He has by his own efforts de-
veloped the finest property owned by
a single individual in the State, and
we hope 1t will yield him an ample
fortune.

SURGICAL OPERATION. - About a
week ago Drs. Bishop and Cram per-
formed a skillful surgical operation
upon George Hopkins, extracting an
entire half of the lower jawbone from
the joint to the chin. The patient had
for several months been suffering
ing from phosphorus necrosis, or luci-
fer match disease, contracted from
poisonous fumes from the furnaces
where he had been working. The ex-
tracted bone was considerably decayed,
and h causes which brought 1t to
that condition IN have been pro-
ductive OF the severest pain to the pa.
tent. Since the operation a cartilagin-
Gus substance has taken the place of
the removed bone and the face of
the patient is not perceptibly disfg-
ured. ID
NEWS FROM DEADwooD.-Jack Fer
ry has received 4 letter from Luke
Voorhees,, agent for Gilmer and Sails
bury's line of stages from Cheyenne to
Deadwood. The writer states that q
coach leaves Fort Laramie every Sat
urday morning for Deadwood, but on
account OF the Indians, which are very
bad, they are running with as little
stock as possible, only changing twice
between the two places. AS soon,
however, as the Indian troubles are
over the road will be fully stocked,
when the fare will be raised to $50, in
the place of $35, as at present. The
news from the mines is encouraging,
the redskins appearing to be- the only
drawback to the prosperity of the
country. 4r ann vsrff
