Ohio Murders.

The recent murders in Ohio were
of such a shockiugly atrOciOus
charter that the cultivated East is
beginning to inquire what kind of
people live in that State, any way.
The Cincinnati Gazette confesses
that the last triple murder was the
monumental crime of the period.
The Gazette has not been able to
find it's parallel south of the Ohio.
Ohio is the State for crimes com

The Lovers of the Double Headed
Woman.

Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle.
Millie Christine, the double. head
ed woman, although not a particu-
ly attractive person, has had five
offers of marriage during her life,
aud all from white persons. Count
Rosebud, one of the midgets, is in
love with the Nightingale Op ac-
count of her winning ways and ac-
complishments, and would marry
her tomorrow if she would consent.
One head is willing, but the other
is not, and, the two heads have been
disputing about this matter for the
last two years. A man who would
marry q woman with two heads
and subject himself to the raking
fire from such q double barreled
gun as that whenever he came
home late at night might elicit ad-
miration tor his valor, but not for
his discretion. -,r turoa

states THAT down to the reign of
Queen Anne he was unable to dis
cover any person bearing more than
one Christian name. William J.,

King of England bore two Chris

In AN editorial on one of the latest
outrages perpetrated by the lackeys of D. 0.
Mills, if not by his own dictation, at his
cheerfuly given consent, the Eureka Lsa<Ier
! concludes as follows
We do not propose to allow the action of
the Eureka and Palisade Railroad Company
to be excused or CLOSED over, even by 50 able
| an advocate as the Enterprise and again
put upon record their infamous action. After
the adjournment Of the Legislature, Mr.. B,
| Reinhart, of the firm of Reinhart Co. ,
| Elko, was interviewed by A. G.. Cleveland,
who came with authority from the President
of the company-so Mr. Reinhart states
and demanded that F. E. Fisk should be dis
charged from their employ, threatening that
if such action not taken rival grain
house would be opened by the Eureka and
Palisade Railroad Company at Eureka. DIR.
Cleveland, still speaking for that corporation,
said they had a man whom they would put IN
his place and give bonds for his honesty. He
| further stated that this was a friend of
! the railroads, hold over Senator from Lin
coin County, and the railroad company were
paving the way for the fight two years hence.
This man was r. P. Dayton, a gentleman
| who fufills all of the conditions that procured
| him the hearty recommendation of A. G.
Cleveland. Inc pressure being TOO great 1Or
Mr.. Reinhart he succumed, Mr.. Fisk was
discharged, and Z. p. Dayton now occupies
the position.

had been interested together in taking rock
out of claim down there. They had dis

and got to calling names, when pistols were
drawn and three shots fired. Neither of the
contestants were in jured, but Theodore Vim

his left arm, near the shoulder. Washbourn

THE FAUST MURDER.-At last the
murderer of Mrs. Faust in New Braun
fels comes TO death bed and confesses
committing one of the most horrible
crimes on record. The Gonzales In
der tells the story as follows: GIVE
years ago, while Mrs. Faust and Miss
Voelker were sleeping alone in a house
at New Braunfels, an assassin stole in
with an axe and killed Miss Vnelker
and dangerously wounded Mrs. Faust.
The husband of the latter lady, who
was absent at the time, was arrested
on suspicion of being the murderer,
and while lying in Jail awaiting the
action of the law was taken out end
brutaily shot by mob. Last week a
man named NJ. p. Deavors died in
Bsndera county, and just before his
death he confessed the murder of Miss
Voelker. He was at this time an itin-
Grant music t :acher, and taught vocal
music in Gonzales for time, hav
ing with him two little girls, little
boy and a nephew. He confesses che
deed was committed with the intention
of robbing the house." The men who
brutality shot poor Faust will now adj
nit that he was better man than they
were, and they should begin the work
of repentance as soon as possible. The
STATE MAN gave q full account of the
murder u day or two after it was COM
mitted.
