ARREST OF A CHINESE MrRDEREI

We find the following account of murder
and the arrest OF the suspected party in the
!SiJver State of Wednesday.
Last January Chinanan known as Charley
Lung was murdered in front of the store OF
Sam Wa Lung by his countrymen Evidence
introduced at the Coroners inquest indicated
that Charley had been sentenced to death by
a Chinese tribunal for furnishing evidence
which convicted two or three of his country
men of violating the Act prohibiting the sale
of opium, except by druggists A white man
named George White saw the row which re-
suited in the death of Charley and saw two
Cinnamon, who undoubtedly were the MUIR
derers, run through the sagebrush back of
Chinatown and escape AS the crime was
committed in the night he was unable to
identity the murderers, and as the Chinese
preferred no complaint against them no effort
was made to arrest them. 1t appears, how
ever, that the company of which Charley was
a member have taken the matter in hand with
the determination of bringing the murderers
to justice Last week a Chinaman named
Chin Chin, probably detective, arrived here
from San Francisco, and went quietly to
work to learn all the particulars Of the muir
der. He ascertained from the Chinese who
fired the fatal shot, and arrested the indiyid-
ual at Battle Mountain and delivered him
over to the Sheriff, who has locked him in
jail to await examination.

SAVED HIS SCALP.
The Reno Journal tells the following:

The Reno Journal tells the following
The story has reached US that Charley Davis,
the handsome drummer, had an adventure
with the Indians up in the hostile country.
He was anxious to get to another town few
miles further on, and thinking he could reach
it without losing his scalp. hs took compan-
ion, and with fine team and buggy they
star ted out They had not gone great way
before they discovered half dozen mounted
Indians making for them, Full OF alarm at
their dangerous situation, Charley gave the
horses a tremendous blow, intent on escaping
if possible. The horses, startled at the fierce
ness of the blow, made sudden spring and
broke the double tree short off. Away went
the horses, leaving our heroes on the hurrl-
cane deck of the buggy. Conprehending the
situation in an instant, over the side they
went and legged it for the woods, where they
kept close to the thickest of the undergrow with.
The hostiles, thinking they could catch the
men at their leisure, rushed after the horses.
Charley and his friend had urgent business in
town they had just left, and started back to
attend to it. The time they made ID not on
record, fortunately for Rarus and Goldsmith
Maid. When they got to town the found the
horses waiting for them, they having also es-
capped and reached home. Charley will be
here in day or two to tell what became of
the buggy.

A rancher in one of the valleys in this vi

He wanted the mule stabbed, but fearing that
the Indian might not find the particular
stable in which he wished the animal placed,
he gave him note to friend whom he knew
the Indian to be acquainted The contents of
the note were as follows: "Take this mule
to the Cestone stable" The recipient of the
note puzzled over it for some time, but at last
light broke in on him, and he calculated:

FAILURE OF CRops.-Says the Tuscarora
Times of August s:
This years crops at the Indian reservation
at Duck Valley, are total failure. The pota-
toes, peas, wheat and barley will not pay for
harvesting even with Indian labor The fail
ure is attributed in the main to the Indian
troubles in the north, which so demoralized
the reservation Piutes and Shosho1nes and dis
tracted their attention that they failed to de-
vote the time necessary for the proper cult
walton of the crops. One hundred and fifty
acres of wheat will be planted this fall, which
it is hoped will yield a handsome return.
