A Spring street lad, whose unruly
conduct had been punished by a depri-
walton of the necessary coin to enable
him to go to the circus, purloined one
of his mothers feather beds and dis
posed of it for a respectable sum, and
as a consequence was flush during its
stay. He attended all the perform
ances, treated his companions to pea
nuts and lemonade, bought apples
for the elephant, and rounded off the
spare time by INDUCING in a few
dances with the hurdy girls. In an
interview with his father, in the wood

vinced that the canuon-ball mans

JAIL DELIVERY.

John Hamilton and John Burton,
two prisoners confined in the County
Jail, effected their escape from that in
stltution Tuesday evening, and are
probably at the present writing in that
mythical region where the woodbine
lwineth." The Sheriff had his suspi.
cions aroused on a former occasion,
and last Sunday made a thorough
search Of the premises, sounding the
walls of the cell-which he found at
That time intact-and removing a straw
mattress, the only article the place con-
tanned. In emptying the bed, there
was found concealed in the straw, two
case knives, with notcEed edges, a
meat saw blade and a shoemaker's
hammer. The man Hamilton was re-
turned to the cell and kept alone until
Tuesday afternoon, when the influx of
a number of fighters compelled the
Sheriff to put Burton in with him. On
opening the cell yesterday morning it
was found to be empty, both birds
having flown. An examination of the
premises disclosed a hole ska inches
leading from the cell to the Sherlff's
sleeping apartment. After gaining ac.
cess to this room, escape was very
easy, as nothing interviewed but a com
mon sash window, which, on being
opened, let the prisoners out on Bate,
man street. a search of the cell yes
terday resulted in the finding of a very
large pocket knife, one small knife, an
iron rod a foot long, one end bent into
a handle and the other sharpened to a
point, a pair of shears and a common
fire shovel. The cell walls are built OF
ks scantling, closely spiked together,
but really offering very little obstacle
to a prisoner determined on escaping.
The large knife was procured from the
Spanlard recently incarceraied for
horse stealing, and was the instrument
by which the mos of the work was
done. Sheriff Sias, who sleeps at the
Jail, was out until about IL O'Clock
looking after the numerous DRINKS
who infested the streets Tuesday even
ing, and the prisoners must have
escaped before his return. This is their
second bold stroke for liberty. they

Sheriff on a former occasion, and made

A Sheep.Iierder Killed by n Ranch.
er Named Nelson.
(From the Silver State.o 2sth.1
Last Saturday an ARRAY occurred at
Nelson's ranch, on the Humboldt,
three miles from the Stone House, in
which a German known as Charley,
who was employed as a sheep.herder
by Thomas Nelson, was shot dead by
his employer. Immediately after the
killing Nelson went to Battle Mount
ain and telegraphed for Coroner Bell
to go to his ranch and hold an in.
quest on the remains. Yesterday a
jury was sworn by Coroner Bell to
inquire into the cause of the death of
the deceased. Eight witnesses, includ-
ing Mrs. Nelson and a girl aged ten
years, who were both present at the time
the fatal shot was fired, and the SUBJ
stanc of their testimony Is as follows:
Saturday Nelson told Charley, who
had been in his employ since last
April, to fix a bridge across a slough,
that the sheep might cross it.. Char
ley replied that he was hired to herd
sheep, not to build bridges. Nelson
made nc replyand both went to a corral
where men were engaged shearing
sheep. Charley said he wanted his
money and Nelson said come into the
house and you shall have it. Between
the corral and the house Charley
picked up a piece of board and swung
it around. TO avoid trouble Nelson
went to another of his men, named
Cardell, asked him to take some nails
and fix the bridge. Fearing that
Charley would abuse his wife, Mel |
son then went to his house and
settled with him, giving him an
order on j.. w. McWilIiams for the
amount due him. They had no diff
Guilty in settling, but after Charley
took the order be abused Nelson and
his wife shamefully, and took the
three-legged stool on which he was
sitting and attacked Nelson, who ward
ed off his blows and retreated until he
was cornered, when he saw no alterna-
tive but to die or to shoot. His wife
screamed for help and Nelson fired his
pistol at Charley, who then ran out of
the house and fell about twenty-five
feet from the door. Nelson then went |
to the corral where his men were
shearing sheep, and got them to ex-
anime Charley, who was found t. be
shot in the breast about two inches
from the right nipple. He was taken
into the house, where he expired in
fifteen minutes.
The jury found that the deceased
was a German called Charley, whose
full name was unknown; that he was
about As years of age; that he came to
his death from a shot fired from a pis-
tol in the hands of Thomas Nelson,
and that from the evidence adduced,
they deemed it a justitiable homicide.

Pistol

Half a dozen pistol shots rang out
on the night air, on North Main street,
at about l o'clock yesterday morning,
and a general rush took place to the
vicinity OF the supposed tragedy, but
nothing OF that nature could be dis.
covered. An individual put in an APP

whom he claimed had shot at him the

Secretary of the company, figured.

aud Gorham came to the Office and
asked to see the certificate book. This
was shown them by Kaplan, who then
left the office. Some time after his de-
parture the party started to leave the
office, taking the book with them.
Pinkus sprang over the counter to re.
gain possession of the book, telling
them that without Kaplan's orders he
could not allow any books to be taken.
He, according to his version, was
caught by VIM. NJ. Stewart, to
prevent him from getting the
book. An attempt was made by
$. ID. r. Stewart to strike Pinkus, but
William Nj. prevented him from so
doing. A brother of Pinkus came to
the rescue, but before he could do
anything he was siezed and held by
Foote and Herrin. Then followed a
struggle for the book, during which
Henry Pinkus received a blow on the
side of the head and gave one to s. ID.
II. Stewart in return. The upshot of
the whole matter was that the Stewart
party got away with the book"

that Montgomery Queen Melted from

This sum was of course contributed

amount from visitors drawn here to
