The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1880-10-16
local INTELLIGENCE.

Patchen sent dispatches to California,
Arizona, ETC., summoning witnesses in
the McLane case to appear. We doubt
very much of some of the principal wit
nesses appearing to testify in the case.
Those men are hundreds of miles away
from Phoebe and have employment, and
it is very probable they will do every
thing in their power to avoid coming
here, and they certainly cannot be
blamed, for it is still fresh in their men,
ory that the witnesses who were taken
from Lincoln county to Carson City as
witnesses in the reservation murders, all
had to walk home from the Capital,
distance of over one thousand miles, and
beg their provision along the route. 1t
is not likely that they desire to go and
do likewise.
A BAD JoB.--A. B. Hunt writes Dis
tricss.Attorney Patchen that Andy Las
well, who resided in Phoebe for a long
time and is well-known hereabouts, and
man named Jack Reilly, charged with
numbering man in cold blood at Ivan
pah, that the former has been acquitted
and the latter convicted of manslaughter
by the District Court of San Bernardino
county. 1t will be remembered by our
readers that Laswell and Reilly murdered
man at Ivanpah for no cause whatever
and that they narrowly escaped lynching.
Owing to DIR. Bidwell's influence, who
cautioned the citizens not to act hastily,
the murderers lives were spared and they
were taken to San Bernardino for trial,
and as this item shows, Justice was
again robbed of her dues.
SILVER SANDsToNE.-On Saturday last
Henry Raymond returned from visit of
inspection around Hike. In addition to
lot of fine specimens from the Green
Monster and other mines near Silver
Canyon, he brought with him specimen
of sandstone, of similar character as that
at Silver Reef, and had it assayed, and it
went 1858 per ton. Mr. Raymond says
there is large body of this sandstone
ore in the rear of the Green Monster
mine; he cannot say that it is mine,
but is an immense deposit that could be
utilized to produce silver if mill was in
operation anywhere near that place. Mr..
will be doing well before long.
SENTENCED TO BE HUNG.-The District
Court met Wednesday, October 18th, and
the demurrer in the case Of McLane and
McIntire having arrived from the Su-
preme Court, the new trial of George w.
McLane, Jr., was set for Monday, Octo-
Der 25th, and venire of fifty trial jurors
was ordered issued at once, returnable
October 25th Frank McIntire was then
ordered to stand up and receive sentence.
The Judge sentenced him to be hung on
Friday, the 10Th day of November, be-
tween the hours of 8 a. m. and p. m. of
that day. Court adjourned to the Goth
inst.
BULLIoNvILLE. We rk is being pushed
on the reduction works at Bullionville
The stone warehouse is about completed
Godbe & Hampton have purchased the
Magnet tailings from John p. Kelley
These tailings are very high, assaying $25
per ton. There are between 5000 and
10000 tons, and S., 900 was the price of
them; very low price. Mr. Montgomery
will go to Salt Lake, if he has not done so
already, to take charge of the firms re-
duction works in that city, and Ben
Hampton will take charge of the works
at Bullionville.
PoKER.-A large sized poker game was
running in town the fore part of the
week. During the game amounts vary
ing from $1,000 to $1,000 was on the
table. Pots ranged as high as ST, 600.
Outsiders think that Piochers have not
got any money. This is mistaken idea,
for there are more $20-pieces laying
around Phoebe than the people know
what to do with. 1t is the small change
that is troubling the natives. The Nor
mon hucksters pack that all off into Zion
and "sink" it.
The REMITT1TUR.-It was fully expect.
ed that the remittitur from the Supreme
Court in the case of the State of Nevada
vs. McLane and McIntire would arrive
previous to the opening of Court by Judge
Klves but 1T not coming up to Monday
evening last, Judge Rives telegraphed tc
discover why it was delayed by the
Supreme Court officials for no reason. Ar
answer was sent by Clerk Bicknell saying
the remittitur had been sent. 1t arrived
Wednesday morning; charges $40.
REuIsTRATIoN.--A 200 voters hav,

numbers of voters around here who hav,
neglected to register. Wednesday next
the Goth, at o'clock in the evening, tn
registration books throughout the count,
will be closed and there will be no othe
chance to register. All those who hav
not registered had better do SO at once,
