THE PISTOL.
Charles Heath Fires Three shots at
II. H. Ferguson.


About IL o'clock on The night of
the 4th a row occurred on Main
street, between Dosher's and Mike
Corcoran's saloon, between Charles
Heath and r. H. Ferguson, when the
former pulled his pistol and fired
three shots at the latter, one of
which took effect, going in at the left
of the mouth, carrying away three of
the upper teeth, passing through the
palate and coming out on the opposite
side The wound, though painful
does not prove to be a serious me-.
Both parties were under the influence
of liquor at the time, and we could
learn of no real cause for the shoot
ing. The actions of Heath, before and
since the shooting, lead to the belief
that he is deranged, and a dangerous
man to be at large. A large crowd
gathered around the wounded man
and violent threats were made against
Heath-some going SO far as to talk
of lynching, before the real injuries
to Ferguson were ascertained. The
officers, however, were promptly on
hand and took charge of the prisoner,
whose every action denotes more of
the maniac than a cold blooded muir
derer. Wednesday afternoon Heath
was brought before Judge Lander on
a charge of attempted murder. He
waived examination and was held in
$1,000 bonds to await the action of
the Grand Jury at the November term
of Court. Being unable to secure
bondsmen in the required amount,
he will be taken TO Hamilton by Dis
trict Attorney Thackston to-day and
lodged in the county Jail. Many
here are of the opinion that he is a
filter subject for an insane aaylum
than a prison.

A STORY.

Frank 1. Kendall Finds Himself At
ter Four Months Loss OF Memory in
= New Orleans Hospital.
Our readers will remember that last Feb
ruary we published al account of the myste-
rious disappearance of Frank ]. Kendall. son
Jennie A. mine. near Hamilton. Young Ken
dali was at the time on q return trip from the
East to San Francisco, and his sudden and
unaccountable disappearance was the subject
of much speculation by the press Of the Coast
at that time. Here in White Pine, where the
young mans father is we'll known and highly
respected. great sympathy was felt for him,
as 1t was the general belief that the young
mar had been foully dealt with. But now ne
turns up in San Francisco and gives this
strange and somewhat vague account Of his
movements !:
a. left San Francisco in December last on
a business trip to the Eastern States, and
after visiting several of he principal cities l
went to st. Louis arriving there early in Feb
ruary, where 1 remained until the 14th of
that month, on which date l bought a ticket
to Kansas City and checked my baggage to
that point, also telegraphing my partner, Mr..
Hughes. in this city, of my intended depart
ure from st. Louis. After that | remember
nothing. except starting for the Union depot
to get aboard the train. / must nave made a
mistake and gone on the train for New Or
leans, as the next thing 1 remember is re-
gaining consciousness in the City Hospital at
New Orleans some four weeks since, or abont
three months after l left St Louis. The at
pendants in the hospital told me that / was
brought there about the middle of February,
~coatlcss and hatless, suffering from brain
fever. l Immediately wrote to my father,
who forwarded me money to return and met
me at Ogden. as | have already stated"
Mr.. Kendall cannot account for the loss Of
his coat and hat, but thinks he probably
threw them away while in a delirious state,
a fact he IN UGH regrets, as the coat contained
papers that would have served to identify
him, and saved his parents and friends much
worry and anxiety. He does not believe that
he was robbed, as his watch and jewelry were
found on him when he entered the hospital,
and he did not have a large amount of money
with him. This Is all the light young Ken
dali can throw on his sudden on the mys-
terry Of his sudden dropping out of existence.
as II were, for a period OF over four months.

suicide In Newark Valley.

from the Eureka Leader. July lst.]
Pietro Robert informs us that last evening
two Italians arrived from Newark Valley
and reported the suicide of Vim. Lamb, a
man we'll known in that section. They say
that yesterday morning about 10 o'clock they
passed Lambs cabin, about thirty miles from
Eureka, on the Eastern side Of the valley,
and getting no response to their knock, OPEN
ed the door of the cabin and found Lamb sit
ting on a chair with a double-barreled shot
gun between his legs and his head nearly
blown off. His feet were bare and the great
toe of one foot was resting on the trigger OF
the gun. The shot had taken effect under the
right ear. From other parties we learn that
Lamb was a hunter and trapper by profess
sion, and came from Oregon TO Newark VAL
ley about seven or eight years ago. He had
worked for several ranchers in the valley,
Jim Wemple among the rest, and at the time
was engaged in raising a small crop of grain
and potatoes. The Italians. who lived near
by, say that Lamb has been in very destitute
circumstances for some time past and was in
the habit of visiting their ranch to procure
-four and other provisions. He had visited
them the day previous to the killing. Doc.
Wheeler, who has known him from Oregon
and Idaho. says that it is his opinion that the
man was partially demented. and suicided
from this cause. Another party says that he
was a man generally respected ; that he had
good credit at the stores in Eureka, but would
not purchase enough to keep him, on time,
and it is his opinion that he suicided from
dependency and financial difficulties still
another whom we met is of the opinion
that he was foully dealt with. The Italians
who discovered him we're deferred from re-
porting the facts for fear of being called to
the county scat of White Pin as witnesses.
and not having the necessary funds to pay
still lies where he was found by them.
