THAT PARADISE ROW.
An Officer Explains why mo Arrests
were Made.

WINNEMUcCA, New, Sept. 25, 1879.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: In yester-
days paper you mentioned that you had
received a note from Paradise, which
purported to give a true version of the
shooting ARRAY between Joe Pirgue and
Tom Burns. The note also states that
the law is dead letter ON account of
the officers not doing their duty. As l
am directly interested, being Deputy
Sheriff of Paradise, l wish to state few
facts III regard to the case.
When the shooting took place / was at
George Gillilans house, and about pre-
pairing to retire for the night. When
| heard the shots fired l went to my
saloon, where ] found several persons as
sembled. l asked them what the
trouble was, and they said that Pirgue
and Burns had little difficulty, and
Pirgue had struck Burns, and Burns
started to run when Pirgue shot his
pistol off, but they thought more to
scare Burns than anything else. l
looked around to find Burns, but he
had gone. Pirgue was in the saloon,
but as l did not see the difficulty, nor
have warrant, l could not make an
arrest. As l was witness in the
Hymer trial, got ready the next
morning to start for Winnemucca. As
was in my buggy all ready to leave,
Burns came up to me and said that he
was going to have Pirgue arrested, I
told him he would have to go to John
Byrnes, j. p, and swear out warrant,
but as l was obliged to 60 to Winnie
| mucca, the Justice would have to depu-
| tie some one to serve the warrant in
my place. In the future am in hopes
that the citizens will be little more
| particular in their statements in regard
to officers, for an officer is not supposed
to take The law into his own hands,
but to fulill it. L. III. MORSE,
Deputy Sheriff.

There is no medicine prescribed by
physicians, or, SOLD by druggists, that
carries such evidence of its success and
superior virtue as Boschees German
Syrup for severe coughs, colds settled
on the breast, consumption or any dis
ease of the throat and lungs. A proof
of that fact is that any person afflicted,
can get sample bottle for 10 cents and
try its superior effect before, buying the
regular size at Is cents. 1t has lately
been introduced in, this country from
Germany, and it's wonderful cures are
astonishing everyone that uses it. Three
doses will relieve any case. Try it.

The deadheads, who came through
from the east in a sealed and bonded
car. and, almost dying of thirst, begged
to be let out at this station, were re-
leased yesterday from the county Jail.
An examination of the contents of the
car by the Custom. House officers at San
Francisco showed that no packages had
been stolen or broken open, and, as it is
no crime to steal ride, they were set
at liberty.

what's the Matter with Paradise I:

Paradise Valley stock went down to
81 60 per share last evening. Who can
explain the cause of this The mine is
said. to be looking well, and the CON-
pany's mill is running steadily on good
ore, of which there is said to be enough
GA the dump to run.the mill for months.
There is evidently movement to bear
the stock, and the bears are pretty sue
cessful. We believe the first annual
meeting of the stockholders was held
in San Francisco yesterday, which pos
sibly may have had something TODD
with the break in the price of the stock.

Flies are always on hand early in the
morning.
You have all seen a kite fly.

Longfellow speaks of a fly as a bird,
when he says: Fly, proud bird of free
DOM"
Some people employ the blind to keep
the flies from the room.
You can draw a fly with a drop of
molasses better than with a crayon.
I have often seen flies hand-cuffed.
The spider is the only creature which
invites the fly to his parlOr.
The only popular fly" ShoO-fy."

The privation in Glasgow, Scotland
this winter promises to be something
terrible. The Glasgow papers are 1utl Of
devices for mitigating the hardship that
already exists there. Here is the plan
which the Glasgow News presents for the
help of the families of the 80, 600 work
men who have nothing to DO and no pros
pect of having work for months to come.
The News says: 'fOpen shops, some for
receipt and others for the sale of articles
for the benefit of the unemployed. At
each center let it be advertised that goods
can there be deposited-cOals, tcod,
clothes, in fact, aught usable accepted
with thanks. Shops are too easily got
as so many are, UnhapPily, without ocs
cupants. These would be centers OF
industry and compassion, preventers OF
suicide and starvation. In addition to
central cepots for the more rough, ready
and needful articles, let there be a
special department at which ladies'
work is received and sold. Paint ever
the shops, Depot for Unemployed or
Unemployed Saleshop' This wonld
not injure ordinary sslesshOps to purchase
materials to be made up for ours. Such
action would guarantee a four month";
humanity bazar."

Hunting for a Word.

An anecdote of Moore, the Irish poet,
shows how much pains writer who does
GOOD work will take to put the right
word in the right place. Moore was on
a visit to a literary friend in France,
and, while there, wrote short poem. :,
One day, while the guest was engaged
In his literary labor, the two took stroA
into an adjacent wood, and the host soon
perceived that his companion was gwen
up to his own thoughts; he was silent
and distracted, noticing neither ms
friend and entertainer, nor the surround
ing beauties of the landscape.
By-and-by he began to gnaw the fin
ger-tips of his glove, pulling and twitch-
ing spasmodically, and when this had
gone on for a long time, his friend ven
tured to ask him what was the. trouble.
"Tll tell you," said Moore; " have
left at home, on my table, poem In
which is word do not like. The line
is perfect save that one word; and that
word is perfect save its infection. Thus
it is: and he repeated the line, and
asked his friend if he could help him.
1t was delicate point. The friend
saw the need, saw where and how the
present word Jared just the slightest
posi- lble bit the exquisite harmony Ol Ine
cadence; but he could not supply the
want.
The twain cudgeled their bIAias until
they reached the house on thej" return
| without avail.
The rest of the day was spent as usual
save that ever and anon Moore would
sink into silent fits in pursuit of the alb
sent word. And so came on the night
and the poet went to bed in deeI
study.
The following morning was bright anc
| beautiful, and Moore came down from
his chamber with bounding step, witt
8 scrap of paper in his hand, and GLOW
Gus light in his genial countenance.
The word had come to him! He haC
awoke during the night, and the kint
genius of inspiration had visited hi
pillow, and he had got up and torn I
scrap from his notebook, and at the win
! dow, by the light of the moon, had mad,
l the thought secure.
"There," he said, when he had incor
porated it into the text, there it is
only a simple, single word, a word a
common as a, b, C, and yet it cost M
twelve hours of unfagging labor to fnC
it and put it where it is; who could be
