The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1877-12-15

from the Muddy, that man by the
name Of Rice, better known around this
section by the name of "Shorty," and
we believe is one OF the men who were
engaged in driving off Andy Flies sheep
about year ago, was recently hung at
blackberry, Arizona. 1t appears. that q
stranger came into the camp where
Shorty and his partner were engaged in
prospecting, and Shortys partner, who
was under the influence of liquor, began
to abuse him, although they were perfect
strangers to each other. The new conner,
wishing to avoid having any trouble,
went down into the settlement, which
was near by, but, however, he shortly
returned up at the mines in search OF
work, when Shorty's partner renewed
the attack. The unknown man becom-
ing exasperated, turned in and gave his
annoyer q sound whipping. and then
returned to the settlement. He was soon
followed by Shorty and his partner, who
attacked and killed him in the town.
The citizens turned out in full force and
captured Shorty, but his partner started
to run, and had proceeded about twenty
yards from the murder when his body
was pierced by four bullets. Shorty was
then taken and hung.
DAY MINE.-Are taking ore out of the
Discovery cut, which is opening up very
we'll indeed, there being nice face of
ore Is or 20 feet up and down. The
tunnel had made connection with the
upper shaft and ore of fair quality 10

drifting south from the shaft in very
good ore. Have about rs tons Of ore in
the ore-house. Teams are engaged in
hauling ore to the 30-stamp mill, which

LEAK1NG.-The plug standing at the
corner of Main and Meadow Valley
streets was found to be in such bad
order and leaky that it had to be re-
moved and a new one placed in position.
AS this was very important plug in
case of fire it was well to see that 1t
would stand the test. The water pipe
connecting with the main pipe in front
of the Raymond & Ely Office bursted
from some cause on Wednesday last
sending water up through the ground
pretty rapidly. 1t was repaired on
Thursday.

San Francisco restaurant, exhibited tt
US on Wednesday small egg, abou
the size OF pigeons egg, which hi
stated he had taken from the yelk OF
hens egg. 1t was perfectly formed ant
looked as natural as possible. We hav
often heard of similar freaks OF hens II
respect to their eggs, but this ID the mrs
time we have had the satisfaction OF gaz
ing on such hen fruit.
