CENTRAL PACIFIC DISCRIMINA-
TONS.

| In his recent explanations made to a re-
porter of the Sacramento Record Union rela-
tive to the question of determinations against
Nevada merchants, shippers and miners, Mr..
A. N. Towne expressed himself in the follow
ing terms;
| would first enter an emphatic denial i'll
general and in particular, that there is any
oppression or unjust discrimination practiced
by the Central Pacific road against the peo-
pie of Nevada, or any locality thereof
Replying to this, the Elko independent of
Thursday last says:
The regular rate on grain from San Fran
cisco to Palisade is and always has been 50 4S
per hundred. Now, as this country never
has produced as much grain as is consumed
here, of course the freight operated as pro-
tectlye tariff to the farmers here, and under
this condition of affairs money was invested
in the business of raising grain and our
farmers made their calculations not antici-
pating any change in that tariff.
When the Eureka and Palisade Railroad
was completed the Central Pacific Company
without any previous warning to any person,
gave that company special rate grain of
IS cents per hundred, thus at once making a
reduction In the price of grain III our markets
of 81 70 per hundred. 1t is easy to imagine
what an effect this would have upon produc-
ers the value of whose grain was thus cut
down and upon merchants who had been paid
III grain at the former prices for merchan
disc furnished the producers The result
was that hundreds of our farmers and mer
chants were ruined for the benefit of D. o.
Mills and the Eureka aud Palisade Railroad
Company, to whom this special rate
given
The Railroad company was petitioned by
the people of this county to discontinue this
discrimination, but their answer that
they wanted to favor the Eureka and Palisade
road i'll that way for the purpose of enabling
them to extend their road southwark as to
control the business of Southern Nevada.
They have finally, however, conceded SO
much as to require that the Eureka and Pal
isade Company shall not sell any grain III
Eureka, but shall contine themselves to i'm
porting what they use themselves and what
they can sell i'll Typo.
The extraordinary favoritism shown to the
Eureka and Palisade Railroad Company may
be due to the fact Off it be fact) that Mr..
Mills, the chief owner in the Eureka and Pal
isade Railroad, Is also one of the larger own
ers in the Central Pacific Railroad. At all

4 Man Fn,is FROM Tree and Breaks sis
Neck.

a sad accident, resulting in instant death,
occurred at the farm Of John lartins, near
Brownsville, on Monday Of last week. 4
young man named WIN. Iaman has been
working for Alr. LArkins for some tire, and
the day in question he went out some dis-
tance from the housc TO fell some timber. A.
noon hs dill not return aud after dinner Mr.
Larkins took lunch with him and started
out to where he had told Che hired man to
commence work Arriving there he found
where the man hal cut down one tree, and
at the foot OF another he found his lifelcss
body. Upon examination it was ascertAined
that he had wanted the tree to fall in n par
ticHlar direction, aud TO cause it to do so he
had to climb it and cut off some large limbs
on the opposite side. He had cut or one or
two and then lost his footing and fell to the
ground, and alighting on his head his neck
was broken, which would cause instant
death His head struck on a stone and the
wound thus produced would also have
caused death. A jury was cmpanelled con-
| sisting of G. i. Colbert, Il. Robe, G.. L. Syl-
vester, J. S. Wilson, VIM. w. Robe and
JAS G. Galloway, and after the circumstances
were inquired into verdict was returned in
accordance with the facts we have statcd.
WRE LAman came to this State in 1871, and
all that is known about him is that he was
from Maryland. He was about % years oi
age, feet and inches high, of light com.
plexion, and had brown hair and gray eyes.
He never mentioned to anyone that he had
any relatives Or particular friends on thii
Coast, and no one ever learned what part oI
the State Of Mary land'he came from. His
history will probably never be known, and
some family circle in lis native State will
