RUN AND JEALOUSY.
Two Causes that Led to n Deadly
Assault.

At an early hour yesterday morning the
sharp crack of q revolver, the shouts Of
men and trampling of feet in the hurdy-
house next to the SENTINEL Office, indicated
that a deadly fight was going on inside. 1t
appears that Deputy Sheriff Simpson had
stopped for a few moments, as is his usual
custom, and was watching the dancers,
among whom were two Italians, named
Milito Batista and Billy Joseph, between
whom a jealousy existed, on account Of one
Of the girls. Some words passed between
the parties, when Joseph drew a sharp in
strumcnt with which he assaulted Batista,
who had been INDUCING to such an extent
as to be unable to defend himself. Simp-
son and M~iddsugh endeavored to prevent
a disturbance and were attacked by Joseph.
He was seized by Simpson, who evaded his
efforts to stab him, aud finally threw him
against the door. Fearing an attack from
the rear, the officer started back and draw
ing his revolver called to Joseph to drop
his knife. This the latter did, but imme-
diately drew a revolver and endeavored to
shoot the deputy. Simpson realized the
desperate character of the man with whom
he was dealing, and instantly opened fire,
n of his three shots entering Joseph's
breast, just above the nipple, and passing
through his lungs. When the melee COM
monced, Batista sought refuge behind the
bar, throwing himself on the floor, and
was struck in the cheek by one Of Simp-
sons bullets. which made an ugly wound.
Joseph was conveyed to the Jail, and his
wound dressed by DR.. LIB. Joseph, whopro-
nounced it fatal. He was subsequently
taken to tho Hosnital where he was at
tended by Drs. Rockman and Bazet. Simp-
son surrendered himself, and was yester-
day admitted to bail by Justice Cromer in
the sum of So. 900. Many citizens volun-
tered to go on his bond, and Messrs. o.
Dunkel. W.. II. Clark, Clay Simms and
James Morris were accepted as sureties,
and he was discharged. 1t is conceded that
the officer acted in self-defense. Joseph's
condition was unchanged at a late hour last
night. and it is not thought possible that
he can recover.

A wedding at diamond Springs.

Rev. Mr.. Kicker was called to Diamond
Springs on Tuesday evening to perform the
ceremony by which Mr.. William F. Cox,
Of that place, and Miss Lila c. Dix, Of
Iowa City, Iowa, united their fortunes for
life. Mr.. Cox has been the telegraph OPP
orator at the Springs for the past eight
years. He is not only an exemplary but a
handsome young man, and successfully
withstood the power of Cupid's darts until
some six weeks since, when Miss Dix APP
peared on the scene on a visit to some
friends, when he surrendered at discretion.
Mr.. Crofut acted as master of ceremonies,
and the affair is said to have been one of
the most pleasant that ever occurred in
that locality. The happy couple have the
best wishes of the SENTINEL. and may their
future prove always as bright as the present.

A Nice Point I'm Law.

Recently, says the ''Silver State" a cred
itor, whom we shall call A, brought suit
by attachment against a debtor in the
country. The papers were given to the
Sheriff on Saturday and he left town to
levy on the property of the defendant. B,
another creditor, ascertained ON the Sun
day following that the suit had been
brought and his attorney had the necessary
papers made ont and ready to be signed
and sealed by tho Clerk of the Court at /
o'clock on Monday morning. Meantime C,
a third creditor, who also learned of the
affair on Sunday, had the necessary papers
made out that night and placed in the
hands of q Deputy Sheriff. The defendant
proposed to test the legality Of this pro-
ceeding, and by his attorney brought it be-
fore the District Judge in Chambers. Yes
tcrday, upon a hearing of the matter and
argument of counsel, the Judge decided
that by reason of the suit having been
brought on Sunday, the writ was void.
This, the lawyers say, is the first opinion i n
a case Of this kind ever given by a District
Judge in the State of Nevada.

The Reno Gazette learns that the Poo
pies Ice Co. has made every effort with
the other ice companies and with persons
owning ice on the Truckee for an arrange
ment by which only a part of the ice now
stored should be put on the market, but
without avail. Attempts have also been
made for a consolidation of ice interest,
but these have also failed. An ice war is
about being i~naugurated. 1t is reported
that the company in San Francisco owning
the Beath patent and the ice machine
working under the patent, propose to fur
nish ice at wholesale in San Francisco at
five dollars per on. As this is about two
and half dollars less than the freight on
the railroad from Truckee or Reno to San
Francisco, it seems impossible that our
people can long compete for this business
in that market. We much regret this, as
large amounts of money have been expend-
ed this winter in cutting and storing Ice on
the Truckee river.

In our style of climate, with i,s sudden
changes of temperature-rain, wind and sun
shine often intermingled in a single day-it is
no wonder that our children, friends and rela-
tives are so frequently taken from us by neg
lected colds, half the deaths resulting directly
from this cause. A bottle of Boshee's German
Syrup kept about your home for immediate
use, will prevent serious sickness, a large doc

three or four doses. Fer curing consumption,
he.norrhages, pneumonia, severe coughs, Group

THE DOMINO FESTIVAL.
some False Impressions Concerning
IL Corrected.

1t Corrected.
The Methodist Church in Eureka was for
q long time without a pastor, and when
Mr.. Kicker assumed charge some weeks
since he figuratively commenced at the
foot Of the ladder, and was obliged to build
up his church. By hard and unremitting
labor he has succeeded beyond his most
sanguine expectations. and to-day his con-
gregation and Sunday School are second to
none in the town. He has been assisted in
his laudable undertaking by many persons
who are members of other churches, and
by many who make no profession Of re-
ligion, but who are always willing. to ex-
tend a helping hand to those who make an
effort to help themselves. The greatest
want Of the church at present is the need
Of more and better seats for its fast in
creasing membership. and this want sew
eral ladies, not members Of the church,
have undertaken to supply, and have an
nounced that they will give a Domino Fes-
tival at the Opera House on the 14th, st.
Valentines dav. There seems to be a false
impression abroad concerning this festi-
val, which we shall correct. As before
remarked, the church has nothing what
ever to do with the festival, but it is en-
tirely in the hands Of outsiders, who are
simply endeavoring to aid a worthy man
in a noble undertaking. The amount that
will be secured by means Of the festival
will be handed to Mr.. Kicker, who is not
so bigoted or foolish as to ask or to care
whether it was raised by means Of q festi-
val at which dancing formed one of the
chief attractions or not. There will be
dancing, by the way, and such other amuse-
ments as the ladies who have charge Of the
affair may deem best. Every person will
be obliged to unmask before a committee
ere entering the room, and no improper
characters will be admitted. Let each and
all of our citizens aid in this commendable
undertaking, and remember that bread
cast upon the waters will return before
many days.

The Change In the Postoaice.

The universal topic, for the past two
days. has been the appointment Of a new
postmaster, and various surmises have
been INDUCED in as to whether the Office
would be moved from its present location.
Mr.. Smith has wisely concluded not to
bother his head about such matters until
after his confirmation, and he becomes
postmaster in reality. 1t is not likely he
will remove it to any obscure locality, or
to such place as would prove ~inconvenient
to our citizens, and SO long as this is not
done, there will exist no jus. cause for
complaint.

PUBLIC OPINION.
As shown by Editorials in the Ne
VaAa Press.

d A FEW DEcIMALs.
From the Elko Independent.
A bill has been introduced in the Legis-
lature making 2,740, T5-100O cubic inches
of charcoal a legal bushel of that article.
For the sake of convenience n few more
decimals should have been put on.
A o A DOG TAX.
From the Reno Gazette.
Give us the dog tax. As Nevada towns
grow the evil increases and it is becoming
an absolute nuisance. Dogs have no bust
ness to roam at large in the streets where
they may attack passers by, children on
their way to school or women out shopping.
There is hardly a day when fights do not
occur between these unkept brutes, which
renders their vicinity unsafe.
THE UND BILL.
From the Silver State.
We will give Mr.. Crawford the credit Of
introducing this bill for the purpose of
%suppressing Chinese wash-houses, but it is
almost certain to have the opposite effect.
Under the provisions of the bill every white
woman now struggling to make q living by
washing will have to pay a license OF $50 a
month, a thing she cannot do. 1t is there
fore plain to be seen that the effect of the
law will be to get the Chinese to establish
large laundries and have a monopoly Of the
washing business, as the white women can
not pay the license or compete with them.
Some other method than that contem-
plated in Mr.. Crawford's bill will have to
be devised to suppress Chinese wash
houses.
OPPOSED TO H BUILDING OF AN INSANE
ASYLUM.
From the Virginia Chronicle.
The proposition of building an Insane
Asylum in this State we are emphatically
opposed to, for two reasons that seem to us
good and sufficient. First, we are opposed
to it on the ground of humanity. We have
not in this State the mild climate nor the
bountiful vegetation which lend the princi-
pal charm to Stockton, and these require
ments, more than doctors or medicines,
are demanded by the mind diseased.
In the second place, we are opposed to
the new scheme on the ground of economy.
1t will cost from 5000, 900 to $500, 600 to
erect a suitable building; and after the
treasury has been thus Quilted, we believe
1T will cost fifty per cent. more to properly
maintain the patients in this State than it
now costs to maintain them at Stockton.
