Coroner Dreyfuss and George F.
DinsInore returned last evening from
their visit to Mount Airey. in the vicin-
ity of which the body of Frank Moore,
the missing coal-burner was found.
Mr.. Dreyfuss informs us that on their
arrival they found the body lying on
the ground at a point about twenty
miles westerly from this city. 1t was
lying in Lha sagebrush rear the road,
in "A reclining position, on the left side.
In the right hand, which was under
the body, was grasped a cooked six
shooter. There were no wounds visi.
bic on the body, which was in an ad-
vanced state of decomposition. The
Coroner summoned a jury and held
an inquest. and the jury brought III a
verdict of death from causes unknown,
after which the body VAS placed in a
coffin taken from town for the purpose,
ard buried on the spot where it was
found. The sum OF $37 was found in
the pockets of the corpse, which was
taken in charge of by the Coroner, who
was informed by some of the friends Of
deceased hat he had $1,000 buried
"somewheie." Tile CorOner's theory
OF the manner of Moore's death is, that.
feeling unwell, he started to walk from
the coal pit to his own cabin, a distance
OF twelve miles, and that when he
reached the point where his body was
found-distant about ten miles from
the pit and two from his house-he was
suddenly overcome and fell in the
brush and died. He is stated to have
been in bad health and some of his
friends think he was effected with the
heart disease. AS to the pistol, it is
stated that he was his invariable habit
whom walking or the road to carry his
pistol in his hand cooked, and his fin
ger on the trigger, as he was always in
tear OF being robbed. The pistol was
cooked and tightly clenched in the
right hand, with the finger on the trig-
ger when the body was found. De-
ceased was a native of New York State,
but emigrated to Nevada from Michi-
gan, where he has relatives residing,
and was aged about % years.
CHINESE FRACAs.-Last night, about
~ o'clock, a fracas occurred in China
town resulting in a Chinese m
named Die Game being severely
wounded by All iron billet in the
hands of All Beck. The dispute was
caused by a misunderstanding re-
garding financial matters and also
jealousy of the assailant. The woman
was struck over the head with the bill
let and a terrible cash cut on the right
side above the temple. Officer Fred.
German WAS promptly on the spot and
secured All Beck and took him to Jail.
All the parties belong to the same
company, and when the trial comes off
none of the parties will "sabbe'' any
thing concerning the matter.
