TINE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Wind and Patriotism COntending
for Supremacy.

for supremacy.
Arrangements were made for celee
bratinp the one hundred and third an
niversary of the Declaration of Ameri-
can Independence in grand style in
Winnemucca. Judge Leonard had
been iyited to come here from Carson
to deliver the grafton, the Brass Band
was engaged for the occasion, hundred
of flags had been purchased for the
procession, the object being to give all
the boys and girls who joined the grand
promenade a star-spangled banner.
Grand Marshal Jurgens employed sew
eral men to sprinkle the streets through
which the procession was to march, and
everything was in readiness for grand
gala day. Yesterday morning the sun
rose bright and clear in cloudless sky,
and gave promise of beautiful day.
About o'clock stiff breeze blew from
the west, and the weather-wis shook
their heads ominously. An hour or
two later the wind increased to a gale,
and the Firemen, who assembled at
their hose house in uniform, decided
that it would be folly to parade, par
ticularly as the members of the band
declared that it would be impossible
for them to play in the open air, in con-
sequence of the wind and dust, so the
Marshal reluctantly abandoned the
idea of forming procession. A large
crowd, however, assembled at Centen-
NAL Hall, where the literary exercises
were held, the programme having been
carried out as announced. Judge Berry,
President Of the Day, called the assem-
blage to order; Rev. Mr.. Trousdale,
Chaplain, made an impressive prayer;
I'd. S. Bonnitield read the Immortal
Declaration, and Mrs. g. W. Clarke
recited brakes Apostrophe to the
American Flag. The Glee Club sang
appropriate airs; the Brass Band dis
coursed soul-stirring music, and last,
though not least, Juog, o. r. Leonard
delivered an eloquent and patriotic
grafton, which the audience appre-
ciated and applauded. Late in the
afternoon the wind subsidized, and in
the evening music by the band and the
firing of a national salute was the
signal for the fireworks, of which there
was brilliant display from the hill
northeast from the Gas Works. About
9 o'clock Centennial Hall was brilliant
ly lighted, and the devotees of Terpsi-
chore gathered there and chased the
feeting hours with flying feet until the
"wee sma hours" The dance was well
attended, many ladies grazing the scene
with their presence, and was one OF the
most pleasant affairs of the kind ever
given in Winnemucca The music was
good, and the supper, served at the
Central Hotel, all that the most fastidi--
Gus epicure could desire

There is scarcely whole flag of any
considerable size in town. They were
flung to the breeze early yesterday
morning ere the gale arose, and as no
one liked to haul down the Stars and
Stripes on the Fourth of July many
flags were torn to shreds during the
day.

will also contend that if any dampness was

The OldtONvn Murder.


The Wing Of yesterday has the following
additional particulars
The Oldtown murder is still the one great
theme Of all conversation in that place and
great excitement still prevails. That so bold
an affair should have occurred in the very
heart Of the town causes the livcicst appre-
hcnsion on the part of the citizens, for if IA
man is not safe in his own house, he is not
safe anywhere.
After the adjournment of the Jury Monday
afternoon from the house of the murdered
man to the Office of the foreman, David Nor
ton, Esq. they ascertained facts which cast
suspicious upon Wallace Riggs and Alonz0
Patten, and both of them were arrested 1t
seems that Pattcn left his vi life about wear
and half ago and that since that time Riggs
has been boarding with her. Lately she has
been doing Gowen's washing and a portion of
the work around his house. and AS he is sup
posed TO have been on too intimate terms
with her. and as Pattcn is known to be n jeal-
Gus, passionate man, il il supposed by some
that he and Riggs committed the fearful crime
together.
1t was at first reported that blood was
found on Riggs boots and mittcns and that
the bloody axe was the property Of Paten ::
but we learn that there is no foundation for
any such story and that the men were arrest
ed on the suspicion stated above. Patten is
a drunken fellow. and we were informed YES
