The MURDERFRs eF NoYEs Play


Bold AND HIGH-HANDED CANE
The Bellevue Ne,Cs says that Frank
Ayres, after emptying the contents of
a donble-barreled shotgun into Bill
Noyes' side, week or two ago, forty
miles beyond Bellevue, said to Joe
Green, who rode down with him from
Arco to Noyes' place: "Now, damn
you, shoot him once for luck, or I'll
cook J our gooscw Green then gave
Noyes pistol ball in the side, and
the pair rode back to Arco, told every
body there what they had done, helped
themselves to such as they desired,
then rode down to Lost river, mile
and half, went through tile house
and took 500, all they could find, and
forced Mrs. Smith to cook them a hot
supper. Monday morning they rode
up past Arco to Antelope creek and
changed horses, getting two pretty
good ones-the property of Mr..
Marsh. Thursday morning early they
were at the Fish Creek station, 80
miles from Bellevue, but turned back
towards Champagne's, and shortly met
freighter on Cottonwood creek) J.
They just told him to trade horses, or
one at least, and helped him to unhar-
ness the one they wanted. About s
O'Clock that evening they met the stage
between Lava creek and Arco, and
changed one of their plugs for horse
which Ayres knew to be good one.
After the transfer the stage was allow
ed to move on. At Arco they fingered
again until morning "wednesday,
wh4n they took in more supplies, and
moved up into the lava beds two miles
and half above. A freighter or ped
lar, who happened to be hunting his
horses in that vicinity, ran across them
as they rested, and they forced him to
"hold up" while they went through his
clothes for $l4 or $15-all he had.
LoCKwooDs M1IL.-The mill is a one
stamp, revolving battery. The stem
weighs 1000 pounds; drops 10 inches,
and runs ITO drops per minute. The
stem is raised with a half-cam, and is
revolved by gear, in a natural man
ner. 1t revolves as it raises on the
cam, the same as that of any other
stem. By so doing, there is but little
friction, and less wear on the cam and
tappet than with the old style battery
The stem drops in rolling
manner, comes down on the
rock and turns once around
while down. The principle is
to grind as we'll as to break or crush
the rock, which adds to the capacity
of work easily one-half. Another very
important point-it does not break its
shoes and dies. By the revolving man
ner in which it drops, the shoes are
kept smooth and level, and is not
as eXtrayagant on shoes and
dies as the old style bat
terry. Another advantage it
has over the other battery: The old
style where the stem drops straight
up and down, in falling it strikes the
rock, partly breaks it, and leaves a
lot of loose matter on the die, and the
next blow it lights into this soft lot Of
stuff and does not give itself a chance
to crush, while this battery is so operat-
ed as to first break the rock and then
grind the matter from under the shoe
and leave the die clear and ready fol
the next blow. This machine is sc
constructed as to be taken to pieces
and packed and taken through the
mountains, and does not cost much to
put it up; it is simple and durable
only requiring a FIVE horse power to
