Special Agent Furay has temporarily
in his possession the saddle and bride
which Curley, the outlaw who was shot
in the Black Hills by Llewellyn and
May, had on his horse. Curley was
shot in attempting to escape. He was
lying along the side of his horse holding
by its name and n heel wedged into
The saddle. The shot riddled him. and
the saddle shows marks of the terrible
fire that rained on him and his horse.
The cantel of the saddle is perforated
by a dozen shots from the heavy mail
guards guns, the holes being as large
as the end of a lead pencil.-Omahd

Having examined the statement pub

that we deem it but just that it should
be contradicted very positively.
Herewith we send you a statement
complied by practical stockmen, taking
Major NaslI's capital as basis, and de-
Quoting 3 per cent. per n for
losses on cows, and % per cent. on stock
raised on the range, 20 per cent on

of through Texas cattle and sales in the
Chicago market. Neither have we
computed interest on cattle or debts

One of the Suns afidavits is attested
as follows:
Subscribed and sworn to before j. A.
Bean, justice of the peace of Laramie
county, Wyoming territory, on or
about January LIST, 1880.
Anybody who knows aught about
law is aware that that is no attestation
at all. Justice Bean informs us that
he nerer attested any o6idarit in such
ambiguous language. In all his attes-
tations he always writes the exact day
and year.
: Now what are we to conclude? Why,
that this infamous scoundrel Slack, in
pursuance of his v~illainy has forged an
affidavit. He does not possess the orig
inal Of the Hildreth affidavit as publish
ed in the Sun, because it has M eris-
tence.
But then a man who will commit
perjury will commit anything.

Why We Israg.

This is time when, as Americans, we feel
like doing little Boosting. One hundred and
four years ago when we declared ourselves TO
be free independent people, our population
was less than three millions. To-day, accord
ing to- Gen. Walkers rough estimate, 1t -
100000. Boston was then an insignificant
village, so far as population was concerned,
and New England had but a few scattering
schools and two colleges. The entire country
had but thirty seven newspapers, and the best
of them we're not equal to the worst weeklles
printed today in the mushroom towns OF the
Rocky mountain region. In 1880 we had but
,seventy-five postoflces, and the mails were car.
RED on horseback over 800 miles OF road at
an expense of $4,000 per year. To-day we
have $4,000 t-otiices-and new ones are be-
ing established daily-and the mails are car.
ried over 265 900 miles of post roads, at an an
nual expense of S29,000000. Wehave nearly a
quarter of million miles Of telegraph wire.
We have 141 500 school houses, G30S2 church
es, 1902 daily newspaper, and over 1000 period
icals of all kinds. Our farms are valued at
not less than 80 262 800, Sol, our farming nipple
ments at $685., S7S, 423, and our livestock at
81 ,525, 216 ,437. Our farm products in single
year have brought us $2,441 ,53S,65S, and in
the same time we have paid IN farm wages
1910, 2S6,2S5. Our crops bountful- yes, enor-
nous and our exports have reached nearly
| $474 100000 in twelve-mOnth. Our manu-
factories are prosperous In cotton goods we
mills turned out cloth enough to encircle the
earth twenty times if made into one piece,
with still enough left to make every human a
suit of clothes and furnish each with pieces
for patching.-B0ston Post.

Of Supervisors:
Your committee on complaints and abate-

release from the assessment of 8 45-1OO acres
of the S.W.llI Sec A. town 33, range east,
being the amount of land taken up by the

ton.
Upon the petition OF II. NJ. Hamilton,
relative to the assessment of the stock OF the

deliberate consideration Of the matter refer
red to them, and having little knowledge of
the market value of the various bank stocks
of the county, and the complaint furnishing
no satisfactory evidence of such values, and

of such stocks throughout the county, we
find no conclusive evidence of injustice to

to warrant or justify them IN making any
abatement as prayed tor In the petition.

RATES TO BE RAIsED.-Since the expiration
of the contract between the Pacific Railroads
and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. the
rates % fare between San Francisco and New
York, by rail or water, have been reduced
nearly one half This reduction was caused
by competition between the Railroad and
Steamship Companies, and while it reduced
the profits of both, it was of immense benefit
to the public, who on the days that steamers
left San Francisco or New York, could pur-
chase through tickets at low rates. Accord
ing to dispatch from New York, new ar,
rangement, to run for five years, has been
made by the competing lines. By the terms
of this agreement, the railroads are to pay the
steamship line S11O, 600 per month, in consid-
Grafton of the privilege of fixing the rates for
California passengers and freight. In addition
to this the roads are to purchase two steamers
on the China line for 81 100000 The roads
can therefore fix their own rates for passen-
gers and freight to and from California, with
no fear of competition for at least five years

Mr. SHAkos-Mr. William Sharon has
been a miserable failure as United States
Senator He has been of no use to the nation,
Nevada or himself Since his lncumbency he
has neglected the interests of his party, and
his own private duty. 1t was a mistake on
his part that he did not tender his resi- gnatlon
three years ago. He could have done SO with
good grace; but for reasons best known to him
self he persisted in retaining the title, until
his constituents are thoroughly ashamed of
him, and so completely disguised with the
manner in which he has represented them
that they are sorry he was ever exalted to the
high station If Mr. Sharon has one iota of
common sense he will not dare to again pre-
sent himself for the suffrages of the Re
puolicans. With all his own money, and the
backing his monied friends can give him, 1t is
apostolic to believe that he can be re elected.
If it be true, as alleged, that money will re-
elect him, the State of Nevada will htly de-
serve the appellation of ''rotten borough. If
the people show that they have fallen SO low,
they are not deserving of anything better;
and everything worth having in the State
should be sold to the highest bidder.-Sutro

THE DOUBLE EXODUS.

Il is pleasant to know that the Pacific coast
is about to lose two prime nuisances, the
wild cat stock manipulators and the Chinese.
The former have been nursed in the larzar-
houses of commerce for years and the removal
Of their rotten carcas.es to New York will pur-
ify the atmosphere of trade. How long 1otn-
am will tolerate them is a question for our At
lantic sea- board friends to settle. 1t IS quite
certain that this coast can spare them and all
their belongings. 1t is meet and proper that
tbeexodus of this tribe should be coupled with
the going forth of the Chinese. New York is
quite welcome to the leprosy and fifth OF the
latter. Every car load which goes over land
is an invoice of desease and degradation, YET
the New Workers who have been fully warned
Of these facts, welcome them with open arms
1t seems strange that the sad experiences OF
San Francisco should fail to serve as lesson
for New York. The coming of the Chinese to
this coast has brought hard times, divided
industries, discomfort among the laboring
classes. Kearneyism and riot. Their reasons
for gaining footholdin New York are already
apparent to any one who reads the dispatches
They are desirable tenants ; when the rent
day comes round their money Is ready and
many of them settle in advance. They pay
high rates and never haggle over the matter
White people occupying the same class of ten
ement houses aud fully as well able to pay,
make it point to beat the landlord If they
can. dispute the rates and keep the collector
most of one month collecting the last month
rent. 1t is not to be wondered at that New
York landlords are anxious to have their
white tenants make room for the more deslr-
able Chinese Coin talks everywhere, no mat
ter from what colored palm it comes and PEG,
pie who pay promptly are bound to get the
first chance. 1t is the policy of the Chinese to
do this and keep doing it until they secure
foot hold, which will cause the property they
occupy to fall 20 per cent in value. But even
then the promptness with which the Celestial
settles his rent is the mantle which covers all
his sins, of filth, disease and miserly accu-
mutation. There are some redeeming traits
of character in the Chinaman, but there are
none IN the guerrilla stock dealers.

BRACING THE CLERGY Nearly every day
the telesraphic dispatches bring tidinss Of
some clerical gentleman who has chosen the
broad highway to destruction rather than the
narrow path which leadeth unto light. All
this happens in the East, The APPEAL calls
attention to the fact that Nevada has been sin
sularly free from ministerial scandals. This
is 40 doubt owing to the fact that the Sunday
APPEAL teaches them proper conduct of life
and braces their moral backbo to such an
