trouble with the Indians: ''My trouble
with the Indians, and my shooting of one
of them at the time, happened in this
way: l was out hunting ducks in the
neighborhood of Panaca, and while re-
turning to Bullionville from that place
in the afternoon, was met in the lane by
two drunken Indians, one of whom at
tackled me with large bowie-knife, and
the other one with rocks. / tried hard
to get away from them, but the lane be-
] ing so narrow that sound it impossible
to do so, and in self Preservation had to
| shoot one of them. Fortunately for the
Indian my gun was loaded only with
duck-shot, or it might have went hard
with him. Under these circumstances,
anybody else would have done as did.
If had not shot the Indian. the Indian
would have killed me. The Indians that
l had the difficulty with are two of the
worst in the tribe. Only few short
weeks ago one of them" Dead Beat =
stabbed Charles Nash, here at Bullion
vile, and was the recipient Of 1aogging
at the hands of parties in Pioche for stab
bling and brutally beating his squaw,
over year ago. As regards my being a
wild young man, l don't think am any
wilder than, any other law-abiding eiti-
zen in this section" The above may,
possibly, be a correct version of the
ARRAY. ,e-.
OBTAINED PATENT.-We are informed
that Geo. 7. Finagin, who is at present

toothpick, trip-hammer, watch key, saw
set, nut-cracker, screw driver, wise, corn
shelter, tooth-drawer, and any kind of

the instrument to hush scolding wives.

jaws of the wrench and she will even be
unable to groan. No husband should be
