A TRAGEDY At CEDAR PASS.
TWO MEN HEVE DOWN.
WITH AE AK.

The lo o'clock train from the East
last night. brought down 10 this place
from Cedar Pass, a wood station about
twelve mules East of Wells, two men
who had been ;earfully wounded by mn
ak in the hands of a third party, n, n
cabin in the timber, q short distance
south from the railroad il one OF the
wood choppers camps, several of which
arc established in that immediate Vi.
cinity. One Of the wounded men,
John Dempsey by name. was taken
from the train n corpse, having died Of
his injuries while en- route for this
place, and the other. Allen Bickford,
has no yet spoken, and will also pro.
badly succumb TO uniimely death.
Both are young men and Americans,
Bicktord being a native Of Boston, and
20 yearsof age. Dempsey is evidently
not moro than twenty-tbree or twenty
four, but We could obtain no p~articu.
lars as to his age, or place Of nativity;
neither could We learn any of the facts
leading to tho preparation Of the
bloody affair, beyond the following:
A workman at one of the camps men.
toned arrived ut Wells on foot, oarly
yesterday morning and gave himself up
to the Deputy Sheriff, stating that he
had seriously wounded n couple OF men
Whn had nnHn an y,p-l -
upon him at his cabin. n short time be-
fore. His statement so far as We can
learn, is that the men came to the
house armed, one with a gun and the
other with n pistol, and in the attack
upon him, fired three shots. Upon
the discharge Of the weapons, he drop
ped to the floor, feigning to be shot, and
upon the near approach of his assail-
ants he sprang to his feet, seized an NJ
that lay convenient, and used it SO
effectively thGt they were unable 10 re-
new the attack. He Is now In Gus
tody at Wells, and an examination
into the facts was to have been
$1,000 P'uSt to'uhg Inc weapon
that killed Dempsy, cut his cheek open
from the left eye downward. and buried
Itself in the brssst. Bicknell's skull
on the left side, towards the top, Is.
cloven' about the size OF the bit of an ax
from which tho brain is affected, pro-
ducing partial paralysis and total loss
of speech. Bicknell is an old resident Of
this section having worked upon tho
water ditch here, at one time, and last
summer worked upon the ranch of Mr..
Crawford, in Huntington Valley. Hel
has papers showing that he has been
i'll the United States Naval service, ut
one time. or Dempsey, who was
buried here this evening, We have thus
far been unable to learn any particu-
lHrs beyond the fact that he had provi-
ously been in Elko.

A FlsRDiSR ACT.

Another Switch Opened And q
Train Thrown From the Track.
The east bound passenger train which
let here on time las: evening. ran of
the track at the switch Just above
town. and dashed ahead upon the
ties across the narrow bridge which
spans a deep rGvine about twenty yards
from the switch. cutting aud tearing the
timbers. enough of which remained,
however, 10 proven: q fearful loss Of
life md property, which must have in
eyi,ably occurred By the oips;zing OF
tho casiue into the deep ditch over
which It and two cars-the express and
mail car-sniely passed. The engineer
James Esss!quc, who took in the situs-
ton at once, remained ut his post and
tho train Was brought to q Init before
any q! the passenger coaches were en-
dnngc.ed; the engine being at the time
cHreened TO tho verge Of upsvtting in c
shallow ditch beside ihe track, with the
OF Wheels inst within side ihs near track.
An examination showed that ihc pin
which connects the svitch-bor with the
lover end OF the lever, had been taken
out< by which means the switch Ind
boon opened without changing the posi-
ton Of the target, thus causing no np-
preEcnsiUn Of danger. Most fortunately
no person was Injured, and the damsgc
70 the train and track WAS q nero tribe.
A dispatch wns at once sent to Division
agent CoddiEgton at CarIin, who or
rived here shortly Af:er with the
"wrecker" and q gang OF workmen.
4 vigorous use Of all of the approved
appliances in such cases, during the
night, brought everything ont in good
shape about Gao this morning, when
the blockade was sfr~ectually raised and
the obstructcd trains pursued the even
tenor OF their several Ways. The night.
though clear and bright was intensely
cold. and the work of e1tricaiing the
ditched engine and cars was q most dis
agreeable job, but oil hands worked
with a will deserving OF credit.
As ihe iendish nc, of opening a
switch, ny which the lives Of Inen aud
womon arc almost certain TO DO sncri-
fcsd-pot to mention the destruction Of
property-has twice, before. within the
past few weeks, been perPetrsted in he
town limits. II is suspected that those
engaged in this horrible practice are
stationed somewhere in. this vicinity;
hut We believe that such exhibitions Of
total d'yra'i'y as thos. instauccs afford
could not be furnished in anything hu-
man oNccp, through tho medium Of some
worthless and wholly irresponsible
tramp" who. to avenge some .ancisd
wrong from the company. might be too
fa:-wItted or TOO d-yilish, 10 care for
the terrible consequences likely to fol-
low his infamous acts.
Whoever the scoundrels may be, how.
ever. they are playing a most hazard.
ous game, for if once caught in the act
the balance Of their earthly pilgrimage
will be too brief eyen to ask a favor Of
their particular friend. the devil.

Of pnper-lace, wild vines aud little
