Dick Eiee's Death.

The story of Dick Rice's death is very sad and very peculiar. Until very recently Rice was a resident of White Pine county, Nevada, where he had the reputation of an indus trious, honest, and peaceable man. Some weeks ago Rice left the White Pine district for Arizona, with good team and 5000 of hard-earned cash. En route he fell in with two strangers drifting, like himself, toward the unex- plored wastes of the South. The trio journeyed on together. When near the Village of Blackberry, Arizona, they camped. One of Rice's new found companions went to Blackberry, got into difficulty, killed man, and started for the little camp, pursued by a bowling mob eager to avenge the death of the dead man. Knowing nothing of the cause of the trouble,- for there was no time for eXplana- tion-Rice and the man who remained with him in the camp resolved on general principles to defend their companion. It was a hard fight, but short one. The mob was too strong for the travellers. Rice's companions were killed. Rice was captured. The crowd were enraged ana bloodthirsty. They listened to no explanations. They strung him up as if he had been a dog. Thus a generous, brave, and really noble man was murdered, and the world knows of one innocent victim of mob violence, at least.-St. Louis Republican.

Holland agrees to furnish gratuitously all the water necessary for general use in the town, which isindeed generous on the part or MT. Holland. and we will drink to his health as long as the water holds out.

The water is run through these, and then distributed gener- ally throughout the town. Messrs. Dorsey and Loss were prime movers In this matter, and deserve a vote of thanks for their in- terest in the experimenting and execution Of the work.
