LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Nor TRuE.-Ths Virginia Chronicle
Of the 18th and the Carson Appeal of the
18th publish horribly incorrect versions
Of the difficulty between ]. H. Rice and
the late Earl Hamilton. Scarcely q sim
gle incident as stated by the above papers
is true, except the names of the parties
and the unfortunate termination of the
affair. The story published by the Vir-
ginia Chronicle and the Appeal is as fol-
lows: "Last evening dispatch was re-
ceived by gentleman of this city to the
effect that John Rice had fatally stabbed
Earl Hamilton in Phoebe. The unfort-
innate occurrence is reported to have been
caused by Rice attempting to introduce
aisreputable woman into ballroom, of
which Earl Hamilton was floor manager.
Hamilton elected Rice and his partner,
whereupon Rice pulled out his bowie
knife and stabbed Hamilton to the heart.
He died almost instantly. Hamilton
leaves wife and two children. Rice is
well known in Eastern Nevada. Since
his arrival in this State he has been in
the employment of Wells, Fargo & Co.,
and has been generally liked and re-
spected. His only fault seems to have
been weakness for the opposite sex,
and though ordinarily of very quiet and
inoffensive disposition, be betrayed ter
rible anger, passion and jealousy when a
woman was in any way concerned. He
isa first cousin of the District Judge Of
Lincoln county, and change of venue
will probably be asked by Hamilton s
friends. Hamilton has resided in Phoebe
for many years. He was saloon keeper
there, and possessed many friends. His
disposition was by no means quarrel
some, and his unfortunate death is to be
regretted. At one time the parties
roomed together, and have exhibited the
greatest friendship for each other. If q
woman had not been in question, the af.
Tray never would have occurred.
