q. W. Mardis or Island
Aoaatain.

tDaily Independent OF Wednesday,
4 letter received here from T.. Penrod
Of Island Mountain last evening. con-
tains the following startling Intelligence
OF a probable murder and robbery near
tina, place last Friday. tho facts in re-
lation to which, as given by the writer,
are Substantially as follows:
G.. W. Mardis left Island Mountain
Friday morning for Elko. to purchase a
load of supplies for the Chin5se. Sat.
uriay morning Mr.. Hatch Of Hnreck.
Chris Olsen and others, discovered
Mardis' team. tangled up aud part of
them dosn. about 1--WE miles out. Moe.
casin and pony tracks were plainly yisi-
bic around the wagon. the pony TRACKS
leading in the direction of the camp.
No signs of Mardis were visible, and
after u search for him in the immediate
vicinity. they followed the pony's
trail which led directly to Island Noun.
tain. where they learned that an Indian
called Ground Hog" lad eaten break
fast and departed for Duck Valley only
n few hours before their arrival. The
Indian was we'll acquainted with Mar
dis. and had always proiessed great
friendship for him. His camp is about
n mile from where the team was found.
On his arrival, he was asked II he had
seen anything of NJ ,rdis' outfit, and
replied thar he had not. Hatch with
two or three others went back to the
wagon and commenced a thorough
search for Mardis but wituou. success.
Later IN the day they discovered the
track Of Chinaman. leading awsy from
the wagon, which they followed until
dark and to within one aud q half miles
Of Chinatown. Suspicion points to a
Chinese gambler, called New York
Charley" who left for Mountain City,
Saturday, and action was Immediately
taken for his arrest.
