Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-09-28
eureka Dailp Sentinel.
WEDNESDAY. !. SEPTEMBER IS. 1881


The late President Garfield was laid
away to his final rest on Monday. Ac-
cording to the telegraphic accounts the
day was everywhere observed by dem
onstrat;ons of the deepest sorrow. Nor
were these manifestations Of grief con-
fined to our own land. In the older
countries beyond the Atlantic tokens
of respect to the memory of the dis
tipguished dead and evidences of sin
cercst sympathy for his afflicted family
and friends were efusively displayed.
On this side, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, all, without respect to party or
creed, were bowed in profoundest sorrow.
Eureka's observance was as sincere and
general as that of any other city or town
in the land. Our people joined in the
proprieties of the melancholy occasion
with the utmost unanimity. The town
wore a mournful appearance throughout
the day, every description of business
being wholly suspended. The process
sion was the largest ever witnessed in
Eastern Nevada, showing how deeply
the great national sorrow had affected
all classes of our people. The eulogies
pronounced were of a fair order and met
the hearty appreciation of the assembled
multitude. The literary exercises in
full will be found in our local columns.
Sept. 26, 1881, was a day long to be
remembered in the annals of Eureka.

men and wounded 20. Out Of $50 tele-
phones only one was left in WOO king order.
The same storm struck the village OF Cam
den, containing 200 inhabitants. Only
two houses escaped injury. Mrs. DIT.
Watts was instantly killed. The loss in
the village is $40, 900, and adjacent farms
$50. 900.
Gen. Hancock Recognized.
CLEVELAND, Sept. 27.-All along the
route Of the funeral train form Pittsburg
General Hancock was recognized and
asked to show himself, but regarding the
proprieties Of the occasion he renamed as
secluded as possible. At only two stops
did he appear on the platform to shake
hands with the people, without further
demonstration.
Cannot Break q Quorum.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator john
son of Virginia says every Democrat
expects the Democrats to organize the
Senate, and there will be no means OF
preventing this as the Democrats have
enough votes, even if the Republicans
refuse to vote, as the latter cannot break a
quorum. The Committees will be or
ganized on a basis of equality. There is
no probability Of any great excitement.
Starting n New Fund.
New YORK, Sept. 27.-Capt. Ben. Rich
ardson has sent his check for $50 to the
Herald. to start q fund for President Gar
fields mother.

A Grand Shooting ARRAY at a
Stockholders Meeting.

obOtk4 hi0HatES uAcCtlh
Special to the sEsrINEL.l
RENO, Sept. PA serious shooting
ARRAY occurred to-day at the stockholders
meeting of the Nevada and Oregon Rail
road. The meeting was called by an ad-
vertisement in the Gazette, signed by Thos.
Moore and f. F. Fowler, for the purpose
of BUSTING some of the Board OF Directors.
When the meeting was called to order
Frank F. Fowler stated that it was a
stockholders' meeting, and requested all
others to retire. No one moved. He
pointed to ex-Judge E. D. Wheeler. and
James McMeachan of San Francisco and
Treasurer Coffin Of Carson, and told them
that if they did not go out they would be
put out. No one went. A rush was made,
pistols were drawn and fired rapidly, and
s. @. Scoville, the Secretary, and d. W.
Balch of San Francisco, were badly
wounded. Drs. Dawson and Wagner
think both are fatally wounded.
More of h Reno Shooting Affair.
RENO, Sept. 27.-At the stockholders
meeting of the Nevada & Oregon Railroad
Company to-day the following Directors
were ousted G. l.. Woods, E. D. Wheeler,
J.. McMeachan, T. Coffin, @. A. Bragg, J.
Sunderland and G. A. King. The follow
ing were elected to fill the Board @. A.
Bragg, G. L. Woods, D. W.. Batch, S. G.
Scoville, F. F. Fowler, A. H. Manning
and J. McMurray. The contest which re-
suited in the shooting arose from a dis
agreement between Thomas Moore of New
| .JaraQu tho annfrontnr o.I 49,. -1u L
form a majority Of the Board, namely J.
McMeachan, Judge E. d. Wheeler, Tren-
NOR Coffin and John Sunderland. Two
members Of the Board have sided with
Moore in the disputes-C. A.. Bragg and
G. A. King. G. L. Woods was counted
one OF Wheeler's party, but lately Joined
Moore. By the contract Moore was to
build the road and take a mortgage on il
and three-quarters Of the stock in pay
ment. He got the money in New York to
build, and some of the stock was taken
here and in San Francisco. He has built
10 miles OF the road and graded 20 more.
After calling a meeting of the stockholders
the four Directors met and voted them
selves so, 900 shares of the stock, but
paid no money for it. Moore got an
injunction against their voting. Wheeler
claims he had papers dissolving the in
junction to present at the meeting. When
the meeting was called to order Moore's
party attempted to put Wheeler, Sunder-
land, McMeachan and Coffin out of office,
and the shooting occurred. There are SO
many conflicting statements that one can
not tell who fred first. Scoville has made
a dying statement. He says Coffin fired
the first shot, and thinks it hit him (Sco-
ville). Balch has made a dying statement,
and says that Wheeler shot him. Scoville
is shot through the body. Balch is shot
through the right lung, and another ball
went through the left wrist and left shout
der. Wheeler, McMeachan, Fowler, Cof-
fin, Moore. Sunderland and Cogan have
been arrested and released on SIS, 900 bail.

C~heyenne,s Time.

There was a good crowd assembled at the
Willows course on Sunday to witness
Cheyenne's run against time. The bet was
that he could not beat 1.59. the time made
by him at the meeting three weeks age.
In the pools the odds were in favor Of him
winning the wager At the appointed time
the horse was brought IN the course. He
looked as bright as a dollar and seemed to
understand instinctiyely what was required
81 him. Other horses were stationed
around the track to brush him for a quart
err each. These quarter nags could not
mold 8 candle to him. He gave the specta-
tors q splendid view Of the mettle that is in
him, and passed under the wire amid loud
applause in 1855 1-5, winning the purse by
nearly four seconds. Cheyenne is a good
horse, and as kind and faithful as
he is good. There is now some
talk OF taking him over to the Cherry
Greek races. He ran his mile on Sunday
almost without drawing a long breath.
There we're some other short races. but the
srSrrSEL's reporter did not remain to see
them.

Il: is affirmed by the collectors of sta

Add, also. the fact that there are no

cost. Can there be any doubt, us mat
