The two men arrested for shooting
nj Marion Renshaw in Huntington wall
ley last week, were examined before a
Justice of the Peace in Elko last Tues
day The Independent says they gave
the names of john Waldo and George
Davis, The first named pleaded inno-
csnce of any intent to kill, aud the lat
ter confessed his guilt. We suppose
they were held to answer before the
Graud Jury. though the Independent
does not say so. 1t appears that the
shooting was done without provocation
or motive.
