The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1880-01-31


by George McLsne, Jr., against the life
of Fred Wallbaum, and once where Nc
Lane, Jr., and u man named Smith,
drove lot of Wallbaum's cattle down to
Wallbaum's ranch for the purpose OF
catching Wallbaum out and 'fxing' him.
Wallbauw. however, did not appear and
the scheme failed. Persons testimony
was very damaging to the entire Nc
Lane outfit.
Jack Almey was next sworn and says:
had a conversation with Geo. w. Mo-
Lane, Jr., in October. 1879. and he asked
me if Wallbsum's cattle troubled Pier
sons ranch, and said some little. He
said that they had been bothering him
for the last five years and that be was
going to put stop to it, as "hs No
Lans) would ct Fred wallbaum, or
Fred would get him." Had no other
conversation with McLane. At the time
l had the conversation With McLane be
wss coming from Phoebe in his wagon,
the conversation occurring between But.
lsr's and Chaffse's place, in Pahrsnagat
Vslley'
This closed the evidence for the prose-
oution. ...,...
The first witness for the defense who
took ths stand was George w. MoLane,
ST., the father OF one of the young men
ON trial. OF course the old man, in CIV
ing his testimony, tried to make it ap.
pear that his son WAS innocent OF and in
no way connected with tho crime with
which he is charge, and saddled the muir
der OF Wallbaum upon the shoulders OF
Mcintyre, the same as most any father
would have done under similar circum-
stances, no matter how good or how
bad men both father and son might be.
Old man McLsne testified to the where
abouts of Geo. W. MoLane, Dr., from
the afternoon Of December 18th, 1879, to
December 18th, which testimony showed
that Mcintyre aud McLane, Jr., were to-
gether during that time. This witness
was crossed examined by the prosecution
at considerable length and bis answers
were contrary TO much of the testimony
ELECTED from him by the defense on i'm
portant points.
The case may be given to the jury this
evening, then again it may be carried
over into next week.
| THROWING DIRT An individual oil
one of our nsighboring districts has
written a number of items to the Tybo
Sun, on which occasion he awaited him
self of the opportunity to throw dirt at ,
mine in another district. In speaking Of
the Day, the writer, who is connected
with a mine in Bristol District, casts {
shot at the management of the Day Com
pany OF Jsckrabbit District and says
1.-THE Day mine. which has lately rur
into a large body of high grade ore
would, if under proper management, IL
. short time develop as paying pro
position" The Day mine is at the pres
emit time under the proper management
and we do not hesitate to say is unds,
the only proper management 1t has svel
been under. The mine is full of ore
and strange as it may appear, everything
about the mine is run to the best advant
ago OF the stock holders at large. Their
is no swindling connected with the min,
even if is a rich one, which, to say th
least, is very strange in this epoch
Those who live in glass houses ought no
to throw stones.
