The PINE NUT HOMICIDE. The
Carson Valley News makes the fol-
lowing statement Of the facts con-
corning the late homicide in Pine
Nut Valley: The killing Of John
Emery by "Yank" Boswell, in Pine
Nut on the 18th inst. and the verdict
of the Coroner's jury that "the kill
ing was done under circumstances
not excusable or justidable in law"
and that Presney Organ was found
to be ian accessory before the fact, !"
caused no little excitement at the
time. The subsequent report OF the
Grand Jury. however, seems to have
relieved the public mind, and none
more than it did Yank. The evil
dence before the Coroner's jury was
so contradictory on many of the most
material points, that it is impossible
to reconcile the different statements,
and the public is left almost as much
in the dark as though no testimony
had been taken. From what We have
heard of the evidence we arrive at
these conclusions: That Boswell and
Emery previously had some alterca.
ton about triding sum of money
which Boswell owed him for work
and was unable to pay. That Emery
came to Buswell's on the day of the
killing. bringing demijohn of whis-
ky, and he. johnson and Organ got
drunk. After drinking, quarreling,
fighting and making friends alter
nately for several hours, the spree
ended with the death of Emery. No
two OF the witnesses agree just how
or under what circumstances the
shooting took place, and probably
they we're all too drunk to know.
Buswell says Emery was the man
who shot at him about three weeks
since, and that he went to his house
on the day mentioned with the deter
mination of killing Emery, and that
ne was ODllSeu 10 10 80 III Sci1'uc
Tense. This seems to be the Grand
Jury's view of the affair, while the
Corone-'s jury took very different
view. DIS. Black and Luce made a
post mortem examination, which re-
vealed the fact that death was caused
by two pistol wounds. One bullet
entered between the first and second
ribs, left side, near the articulation
with the sternum. passed downwards |
and out, lodging just inside the skin,
between the fifth and sixth ribs, near
their intersection with the spinal |
column. The other bullet entered
behind the left ear, passed through
the brain, and lodged in its outer
coating, over the left eye. Boswell !
SAYS the wound in the breast was first |
made, and that he and Emery were |
facing each other when the shot was
fred. He says Emery fell at the first
shot, and he then stepped up to him
and fired the second shot in tho back /
Of the head. !.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT BURaLARY.-A bold
attempt was made to burglarize the resi-
dence Of Pryor Boyd, Esq, on South
Front street, Island, at an early hour yea.
terday morning. Mr.. Boyd was aroused
from his sleep by hearing footsteps on the
board walk which approaches the house
from the street, and on looking from n
window he observed two men coming up
the walk. The two men carefully tried
several shutters, after which they re-
turned to the street, where a light spring
wagon, in charge OF a confederate, await
ed them, which had probably brought
them to the spot. Mr.. Boyd heard one
of the men who had been inspect
ing the shutters ask the man in
the wagon for chest Of tools, and upon Sc
curing the articles be desiredhe returned
with the evident intention OF commencing
operations upon the house. The man in
the wagon drove of, and his two COM
panions proceeded 10 their work in a
business like way. Mr.. Boyd thought it
about time, however, to stop the little
game, and he accordingly hailed the burg
lars from window. The midnight ma
rauders stood not upon the order OF go.
ing, but went Immediately, jumping over
the fence and taking to the river, where
they entered a skiff and escaped.
