Rev. (?) John A. Gray passed down
the road last evening accompanied by
his wife. He was appointed pastor of
the church at Austin by the M. T..
Conference, aud was considered one of
the a6les. aud most eloquent members
of that body. Two weeks ago he un.
tremendously abandoned his flock and
his family and went to- Battle Noun
tain, where be has been on prolonged
spree. His departure from Austin
created quite sensation. and, the
papers say. was tho subject of much
gossip. The Parsons excuse for leay.
ing bis flock and family aud seeking
consolation in the bottle, is said to be
domestic troubles. He wrote to bis
wife from Battle Mountain and in
formed her that he was going to Wash
ington Territory AS she was left en-.
trely destitute of means, her friends
raised purse of $3.50 to enable her to
go to Kansas, where her relatives re-
side. She left Austin few days ago,
with the intention. it is said, of going
east. AT Battle Mountain she met her
husband, who prevailed on her to
change her destination and accom-.
paDy him west. With the money
raised for her at Austin she paid her
husband faie, and both went west on
the express train yesterday. Gray is
represented as being an able and
foreible speaker. bat his love for in
toxicating drink is beyond his control.
and the eloquent preacher of few

pointed to that position by showing he
had suitable education to grace the

shown to us, wherein he demands
some money due him, be says, Send

rough weather lately, but this is the
worst "spell" that we remember of.
Lincoln county need not think that we
have any reference to our Superiutend-
ent,. for he is in every way the man Ii :.
ted for the position. and We will leave
the people to guess who is the man in

leave the identity of that model School
Superintendent in doubt. By all means
publish his name and locality. that he
may not have an opportunity to 'sriug
