A Sida ShnR.

During the greater part of the
evening. the performance OF Widow
Bedott ct the Theatre had q rival in
sort OF side show which was or

young man ard a young woman
occupied front seats on the west sids
oil the Theatre and we're SO unpfece-
dentedly attached TO each other that
they could not contain themselves
she would lean over and rest her
head on his shoulder and leok lovingly
into his eyes, which tender gsZss be
would return with interest. A good
natured rival was On the other side,
and kept talking to her freely, but as

resting partially Gu mis- shoulder, one
OF his arms lost to view, her whole
shoulder braced up fondly sgainst bis
and gave him witching smile. His
face came near to hers and at this
moment the fan IN her hand spread
out and hid both heads from the
vulgar gaze. The show was too
much for the greater portion of the
young men present, who suffered
from spasmodic but severe attack
OF sour grapes. The happy twain
seemed oblivious of the many pruoish
looks cast in their direction and were
conscious only of the presence of
each other. and occasionally of the
good natured rival on the right.

The GraneYine Murder.

Our readers will remember the
publication OF an item about week
ago, Of 8 murder near Silver Rect,
but thu correspondent failed TO give
any minute details. The following
is taken from the last Silver Reef
Miner:
On Sunday evening last, about 6
O'clock news was brought into town
that 8 man named William Hillburn
had been shot and killed at or near
Grapevine Springs, about two miles east
of Silver Reef. Officers imm edistely
started for the scene of the tragedy,
where they f und the dead body of Hill
burn and also placed under arrest James
Pollard and J. B. Stephens, both resi-
dents of the Reef, as the alleged per-
petrators of the deed.
as near as we can learn without
having sworn testimony before US, the
leading to the unfortunate
affair are about as follows: Decesse
Wss miner, and for Two or three months
past had been working in the Buckeye
Mine. Some time last week he ordered
stephens TO make him q pair of boots,
promising TO pay for them ss soon as he
drew his money at the mine. In the
meantime, it is said that Pollard
went .HilIburn's security to Stephens
or SIS. the price of the boots.
Soon afterward Hillburn drew
ais money from the Stormont Company
md left town without settling the bill !
bearing that the delinquent was at
grapevine Springs, Pollard and Stephens
vent out there on Sunday evening and |
ound him. A quarrel ensued, and Hill !
'urn was shot through the head, being |
llIled almost on the instant. The body |
vas brought to town, and an inquest
leld on the following day, The verdict
endered being to the effect that deceased
aid shot being fired out Of weapon a
be hands of J. B. Stephens.
In view of the fact that the accused,
n the following day, waived their right
D an examination before the local magi-
tTate, it would st this particular time be
nfsir to give publicity to any unsworn
statements as to the circumstances at
ending the killing, and for that reason
o such statements are printed Pollard
,as held in 81, 900 bonds and Stephens
-as committed to the county jail to await
10 action of the grand jury, which
ody meets on Monday next.
Hillburn was a native Of the United
tstes, aged about So years, and un-
larried.

A Would-be Murderer.

| On Wednesday night a private
party went over the Utah Western
to spend the evening. Two indi'
viduals named Bill Clays aud Gus
Renig, we're on the train; neither
seems very particular about his repu'
tation for on several previous occa,
sions they have had difficulties and
there has been pretty bad blood
between them. Il appears that on
the return Renig and girl with him
went into one OF the cars to get some
thing to eat, and while there, Clsys
came in and remarked loudly that he
was hunting for an Individual, ueing
one of the vilest expressions that any
one could do. Re1ig understood it
was meant for him, bat SAID nothing
and walked with the girl iuto another
car. Clays followed them in, and
repeated the expressions, with others,
until Reipg said he thought as there
we're ladies present he would stand it
no longer. Immediately Gays drew
his pistol, cooked it and placed it
against Renig's stomach. The latter
grabbed it and fortunately for him
placed mis- thumb under the cock,
when the hammer came down, and
the pistol was wrested from Clays.
Had Renig not placed his thumb
we're he did tae chances are that
Clsys would have been held to answer
a charge OF murder. Clsys was
arrested and his examination post
poned at his instance, bonis being
L. appears, though nothing
positively accurate Can be given, that
IN this instance, Renig is blameless.
The story here given is perhaps
but the examination,
which ls set Tor III O'CLOCK this morn
Dg. will show. and the facts then be
obtained. Clsys bonds were fixed at
5000.
