THE HYmER CASE.
Notion Tor arrest OF judgment and
New Trial.

At 10 o'clock this morning, the time
set for pronouncing sentence and judg-
ment on Charles w. Hymer, found
guilty of murder in the first degree, for
killing Thomas X. West at Paradise
last May, the Courtroom was filled with
spectators, among whom were several
ladies. The defendant Hymer was
taken into Court by che Sheriff and,
placed in front of the Judges stand.
The Court read the indictment and,
the verdict of the Jury and in
formed defendant of the nature
of the offense of which he had been
found guilty, and the penalty prescribed
by the law. During all this time the
defendant stood motionless as q statue,
and exhibited no visible sign of emo
ton. The Court then asked defendant
if he had anything to say why sentence
Should not be pronounced on him ac-
cording to law. NJ S. Bonnifeld of
defendants counsel then moved for an
arrest Of judgment until next Wednes-
day, and for y new trial upon the
grounds that certain members of the
jury had expressed an unqualified
opinion as to the guilt of the defendant
before they had been empaneled tostry
the case. The affidavit was subscribed
and sworn to by George Hymer, de-
PENDANTS father, who further alleged,
that John Parker, one of the jurors,
expressed an unqualified opinion as to
the guilt or innocencs Of the defendant
the evening before he was-accepted as
Juror S. S. Grass, of counsel for the
State objected to the motion as being
| frivolous and not made in good faith,
after which counsel for defendant sub
nitted another affidavit in support of
his motion, which was. to thes OBJECT
that j. W.. Antrim, another juror, had
in the presence of Ed. Rinkle, now alb
sent in Carson, expressed the opinion
that defendant deserved hanging. The
Court granted the motion for an arrest
of judgment. next Wednesday. at
| 10 o'clock A. NJ.

The. Elko independent has the fol-
lowing:
Through secret channel, it reached
the ears of the officers yesterday, that a
plot was Matching to fire the town. A
close watch was kept of the suspected
party and some suspicious maneuvering
was discovered, but the matter of the
suspicion having leaked out, arrests
were made before the project had come
to head, and the sworn statement of a
party, who claims to have been offered
reward for the commission of the
crime, is about all that can be relied on
for conviction; at least, if further evil
dence has been secured, it has not been
developed.

MORE HUMAN BLOOD.
Beginning of a Fsud in Mississippi.
Ous Man Killed and Several More to
Hear From.

Several weeks ago a couple Of jolly
fellows, always warm friends before
that time, got on a hilarious spree,
and, while under the influence of
cheap whisky, fell out. 1t all hap
pened at Vaughn's Station, down tho
railroad, fifty miles or so below
Grenada, and the friendly Quarrelers
we're named Bell and Strickland.
While the pair were growing at each
other they conceived an idea that it
would be a good thing to finish off
with a iesh-earving match, Each
thcreupOn went for their pocket
knives, locked horns aud be-
gan the whacking process Wig
OrOusly, When they had exhausted
themselves by this beautiful
exercise, one was minus an ear and
several other pieces of supcrfuous
flesh, besides a few gallons of blood,
while the other was also slashed into
strips on various parts of his body. 1t
was one of those ld-fashioned swamp
fights Of the Kilkenny-eat order, where
whisky aided in infaming the blood
and e~nraging the minds of the com
batantS, and the pair we're so nearly
used up when the affair terminated
that nobody had any idea that either
could possibly recover.
1t appears, however, that both got
over it, and on Wednesday last each
was able to get about so as to appear
in court for a preliminary examination.
The trial drew a crowd, and among
others came several other Bells, Strick-
lands, brothers, cousins and uncles of
the parties to the first row. They
we're all armed to the teeth and ready
for any emergency. Their tempers
were also rife for a fuss, and a quarrel
between two elder members of the
Bell and Strickland families, brothers
to the original combatants. resulted in
a Bell being knocked down three
times in quick succession. As soon as
the knocked Bell could regain his
senses and his feet he opened a fusil-
ade with his revolver, aiming straight
at his mark and killing Strickland
dead in his tracks. Several other
Bells and Stricklands are to be heard
though each separase member
at present is reported resting quietly
on his arms.

What PnnI BoYton Isl At.

GSA 80 hAA
Nautical Gazette.l
Thousands have wondered why Paul
Boyton is swimming or padding from
placeto place, irstin the British Chan
mel, then on continental streams. and
now on our Western rivers, s"training
every nerve, running needless risks,
apparently for his own amusement, for
he pays his way, refusing to exhibit
himself or dress for money. We think
we have the solution of the so-called
mystery. Paul Boyton is simply the
agent or exhibitor of Merriman's life
saving dress. Possibly he may have a
%pecuniary interest in the sale of the
dress. So far, so good. Now Mr..
Merriman has a bill before congress
in which it is proposed to compel
every ship-owner to purchase one of
these suits at about $50 each for each
vessel of 80 tons, and one for each ad-
ditional 200 tons, until seven suits are
put on board of vessels of a tonnage
specified by Mr.. Merriman, the inven-
tor, who is a great philanthropist as
far as his dress" is concerned. "A
man can afford to be very humane in
his feelings when he can count ON a
revenue Of $50 to $3.50 on every vessel
built and sailing on the waters of the
United States, and no wonder Paul
Boyton is willing to dare alligators
and the chances OF being run down by
steamers if he can be an interested
partner In this proposed wholesale
forcing OF a life-saving suit upon the
vessels Of the country. If we were
sure of such a revenue as Mr.. Merri-
mans bill before congress proposes,
we should at once proceed to Pitts
burg and paddle down to New Or.
