Some apprehension 10 now expressed
In regard to the vote Of Indiana, in case
the election Of President should 60 to
the House Representatives, irrespective
of the balance Of power held by the
Hon. and Rev. DR.. De La Matyr. At
the Congressional election last year

crat were the opposing candida Is, and
the vote q returned stood: Orth, 49,
COS; McCahe, 1880. On this majority
of 90 the former received the certificate.
1t was alleged at the time that this ma
jo.ity was procured by fraud, and an
immediate investigation showed that a
number Of voters had been imported ;
that about forty students, who were nom

l
paid the penalty of death on the
gallows, for the murder OF Marion
Hulsey in Oil Trough bottom, Inde-
pendence county, committed ten
years ago, The particulars of the
difficulty which lead to the murder
have never been published by us,
and according to Kemp's statement
less than two hours previous to his
execution, there were important
facts connected with the matter that
were not brought out in his trial,
and one person equally as guilty OF
the crime as himself, whose name
had not been mentioned in connec-
ton herewith, and whom he did
not desire to imphcate. Suffice 1t
to say, that having taken change
OF venue to Sharp county, he was
tried at the recent August term OF
the circuit court in this place, found
guilty of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to be hanged.
At 81 minutes after II o'clock the
prisoner was taken from bis cell by
Deputy Sheriff Bristow, and assist
ed to a seat in the wagon which had
been driven as near as possible to
the door of the jail, and which was
to convey him to the place Of his
execution. Rev. Mr.. Ramsey, Of the
Episcopal church, who had passed
tho greater portion OF the forenoon
in the cell with Kemp, took a seat
in the wagon beside him, and at
1926 the wagon moved off in the
direct on Of the gallows, accompa-
MED by about 80 g9gFds, most OF
whom were armed 'ah. shot gu2s'

up for publication whatever might
transpire that would be of interest
to the public. About 500 people
followed Immediately IN the rear,
but were kept at respectable dis
tance by the guards, and the pro-
cession moved quietly on, arriving
at the galIows at Sc minutes after u
o'clock. The prisoner, arm in arm
with Parson Ramsey, assembled the
scaffold with a steady step. After
a brief conversation with Parsons
Johnson and Ramsey, the pris-
onor turned to the congregation,
which numbered between thr6e
and four thousand people, and said
he was about TO die for a crime for
which he justly deserved punish
ment. Ho warned young men and
boys to beware of doing wrong, say
ing, "Honor your fathers and moth
ers, that you may have long life,
and that it may be well with you in
the life to come. May the Lord
have mercy on my soul"
Parson Ramsey then read the
Apostles Greed and the Lords
Prayer, which were repeated, word
for word, by the prisoner. Another
prayer or ritual was then read by
Parson Ramsey, during which the
prisoner, knseling and with eyes
closed, was engaged in silent prayer.
At 7 minutes of the death war
rant was read by Sheriff Huddleston,
the prisoner listening attentively'
The rope was then adjusted by
Sheriff Case, of Independence coun-
ty, the prisoner shook hands with
those who were on the scafold, the
black cap was drawn over his face,
and at l o'clock and l minute the
trap door tell from under him, and
the body of Joe Kemp was hanging
in the air. There was q slight con-
vulsion and struggle, and a noise
that seemed to indicate that death
was being produced by choking. At

That Column bia Freight

The fact that a car load of freight
for Columbia, in Northern Elko, has
been shipped to it's destination from
this place helps the Elko papers to a
cheap of hurtin." The independent
pretends to account for it in this wise
''1he freight referred to by the SILVER
STATE, was delivered at Winnemucca by
mistake, and upon the arrival of the
first load from that place in Columbia,
the parties to whom it was consigned.
addressed letter to Rinehart & Co.
here, at once, inquiring into the matter
and instructing them to have the re-
mairder forwarded to Elko, imlnedi-
ately. In compliance with the order,
the freight was sent here from Winnie
mucca, and has been regularly forward
ed to its destination, as all the freight
for that camp has been heretofore. !"
That story may appease the anger of
the Elkoites, but, as the freight referred
to was not shipped from here to Column
bia until last Tuesday, the day on
which the Independent, which contains
the above extract, was printed, it could
not possibly have reached its destina-
ton, as stated by the Independent
The fact is the roads are better from
Wmnemucca to Cornucopia and Column
bia than from Elko to those points. and
merchants in those towns save railroad
freights from here to Elko by having
their goods shipped from this place.
This is understood at Cornucopia, and
nearly all the freight for that place is
shipped from Winnemucca.

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives up grandeur OF
mountains, glens and oceans, and thous-
ands OF means for enjoyment. We can
desire no better when in perfect health;
but how often do the majority of people
feel like giving it up disheartened, dis
couraged aud worried ont with disease,
when there is no,oceasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof that Green's August
Flower will make them as free from
disease as when born. Dyspepsia and
liver complaint is the direct cause OF
seventy-five per cent of such maladies
as bilousness, indigestion, sick head
ache, costlveness. nervous prostration,
dizziness OF the head, palpitation of the
heart, and other distressing symptoms.
Three doses of August Flower will
prove its wonderful effect. Sample
bottles, 10 cents. Try it.

4 Twelve-Year Old Roy Kills His
sleeping Father.

The Silver Reef "Miner' states that
about week ago John Pickering, a
sheep-herder living near Circleville,
Piute county, gave a whipping tosone
of his sons, boy aged about II years.
The boy turned upon his father and
told him that that was the last time he
would submit to chastisement, and
that he would leave home never to re-
turn. Next morning the boy got up
and sent his younger brothers to the
pasture to get the calves. His father
was yet in bed, asleep. The youth
slipped on his fathers shoes, walked
out into the road through the dust, so
as to make mans tracks, then went
back to, the house, took his fathers
pistol and, making rest of the back of
chair, shot him through the heart.
TIE old man turned over on the bed
and looked at his son, but did not speak
word. The parricide then went to
Jim Marshall's ranch, about five miles
distant, and told Marshall that John I.
Matthias, the stage-drive, had shot and
killed his father. Marshall and George
Perkins Immediately took horses and
started after the stage, overhauling it
and bringing back the driver. The lat
ter protested his innocence, and the
passengers on the stage declared that
no stop had been made at Pickering's
that morning. The boy, however, per-
sistently asserted that Matthias was the
perpetrator of the deed and showed the
mans tracks in the dusty road. To
obtain clew by which the murderer
might be traced, all the shoes to be
found in the neighborhood were meas
ured by the tracks, but none, would
fit them till Pickering's were tried.
At this juncture the boy became fright
ened, and inquired if they would hang
him if he told the whole truth about
the affair. On being assured that they
weuld not, he made full statement of
what he had done, being in substance
the foregoing.

Holders of stock in the Leopard mine
at Cornucopia, will rejoice at the fol-
lowing which we copy from the Times.
Review: From NJ. r. +. Coffin, who
came down from Cornucopia yesterday,
we learn that last Saturday the west
cross-cut on the S00-foot level of the
Leopard struck the main ore body or
ledge 1913 feet south OF the shaft and
fifty feet south of what is known as the
north ore body. Where the cross cut
first struck the vein it was only four
inches in width but in running ten feet
south it increased to fully two feet of
solid ore. Assays from the pulp sara-
pies from all of the rock taken out in
running that distance average Sl02. 90
in silver 1t is expected that the main
drift will reach the ledge to-day. The
indications are regarded as most favor
able for the development in the 500, of
the finest and largest body of ore that
has ever been discovered in the mine.
