slaughter.
ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
HAMILTON, Nov. 81. Il. Middleton
was to-day convicted OF m~anslaughter for
the killing Of Hon. George Blair last May,
and was sentenced by the District Court,
Judge Henry Rives presiding. to five years.
confinement in the State Prison. The cir
cumstances Of the fatal r%encontre are
these: There had been bad blood between
the deceased and defendant for some time
on account OF family troubles. Blair was
passing Middleton's house on his way to
work at 6 o'clock on the morning Of the
18th OF May last. Middleton called to him
as he was passing, at the same time having
a large pocket-knife in his hand. Some
angry words passed between them, and an
alteration ensued. Blair struck Middle
ton on the side face with his open hand,
~whereupon Middleton plunged his knife
into Blair's bowels, from the effects OF
which CHASTITY injury he expired next day.
Middleton is a miner and an old man.
Blair was quiet, inoffensive and popular.
The case was managed for tho prosecution
by District Attorney Thackston, assisted
by Hon. G.. w. Merrill; and for the defense
by Messrs. Bishop and Sabin. The ver-
dict OF the jury excites comment, as it was
presumed that Middleton would at least
be convicted of murder in the second de-
gree.

THE BALL TONIGHT.
An Event That Promises to Surprise
the Local Social World.

An Event Inat 10
the Local Social World.
The indications are that the ball tonight
in aid of the Veterans Homo will prove
to be a most gratifying success. The at
tendance will be very large. Sufficient
tickets have been sold to Justify this ex-
pectation. The music will be furnished
by Messrs. Riegelhuth, Plumhof, Come
and Pascoe, who have been rehearsing for
the event for several weeks past, and they
will no doubt do the occasion justice.
Dancing will begin at $3.50, Courthouse
time. The supper will be served at the
Jackson House Restaurant, commencing
at IL o'clock. 1t may be necessary to
spread three rounds, as only 100 persons
can be accommodated at one sitting, but
the last round will be served as sumptu-
ously as the first. The proprietors of the
restaurant have made every preparation
to appease the appetite of all, nc matter
how extensive the crowd. Tickets for the
supper will be drawn by the gentlemen at
the proper time, and the utmost decorum
will be observed and enforced, and no
partially shown. The committees will be
as follows: Floor Director-A. Aulbach;
Floor Managers-R. L. Chase, g. L. Broy,
]. T. Martin and Ed. Davidson; Reception
and Supper Committee-James F. Mason,
]. NJ. OFT, W. B. Tyler, J. II. Riley and
W. E. ~Trowbridge. The hat and cloak
rooms will be in charge OF W. E. Taylor
and wife, respectively. The ladies' room
will be free. The gentlemen will be re-
quired to pay a small fee to cover expenses.
In view of the extraordinary cheapness OF
the tickets the Veterans expect to see the
hat-room patronized by every gentleman
who graces the dancing floor, and they
will not be responsible for overcoats and
hats scattered about on the chairs and in
corners where they are continually in the
way. Bsll-goers should be aware that hat
and cloak-rooms are Indispensable, and 1t
is niggardly economy to avoid them. By
request OF the Commander, members of
Upton Post will wear their badges. Tick
cts may still be procured from the COM
mittee, or at the door during the evening.

A Pleasant Remfniseence of the
Late Lamented 50 Broadhorns.o
L. R. Bradley, q California pioneer, and
Governor Of Nevada for eight years. who
died at his home in Elko in the Spring Of
1879, wa widely known on the Pacific
Coast. He got his nickname, Broad
HORNS" from the fact that he was a.cattle
raiser. He was an old virginian and pre-
served the rich dialect Of that section. in
his talk, in all its originality. He was an
honest man in the full sense Of the word;
and, though seemingly IN unsophisticated
rancher, he had seen q great deal Of the
world, was an excellent judge Of men, and
in politics he was q veritable fox. 1t is
universally admitted that he was the most
successful man to e~lectioneer that ever
made a campaign in the State. His per-
sonal appearance and manners made him
conspicuous and attractive. His portly
figure and long iron-gray beard, reaching
to the waist, gave hinfa venerable, fatherly
look, which, added to his always CHEEKY
humor, conferred on him o peculiar advan-
tage among acquaintane es n utter stran-
gers as well. This advantage he was cum
ming enough 10 utilize for all it was worth.
He called everybody, never mind how old,
my son." which, in him, never seemed
strange or offensive. This greeting, in
fact, seemed just the thing to look for from
"Old B%roadhorns." He would meet
you on the street, maybe, for
the first time in his life
and stopping your shake hands with you
and say: "Well. my son, how. de do to-
day?" You could not be affronted by
such an advance; and it is ten to one you
would feel complimented. especially if you
happened to be engaged in some very
humble calling and did not look for any
attention from the Governor Of the State,
who is usually regarded as q parsonage Of
extraordinary dignity. Apropos of this. a
gentleman, we'll known in public life in
Nevada, tells the following Oh the old
man." The two were crossing the main
street in Carson. going over to the State
House, but were detained midway by q big
team that had halted in the road. While
waiting for the team to pull out, Broad
horns" seized the opportunity to have a
chat with the teamster. "How de do, my
son ?" the old man started in. pretty
we'll, Governor; how are you 2" replied
the teamster. pretty fair, my son;
how's teamin'?" Every bad, Governor;
low rates and terrible bad weather." was
the drivers response. "Now, I'm mighty
sorry for that, my SOM; l like to see the
boys all doin' we'll, specially in teamin'."
Just after this the team began to move on,
the driver said good-by, and "Broadhorns"
gave him parting shot. "Good-by, my SON.;
hope you Won't have any more bad weather
pretty soon /" Bradley's companion, who
had listened to all this and had presumed
that the bull-whacker was some old-time
ranch friend Of the Governor. asked him:
Governor, who is that MANI" The old
fellow, chuckling with merriment, summed
up the situation thus Dam 4 I know"

Albert has been getting into some trouble
some notoriety. George W. Tompkins,
cashier in the banking house of Hatch Il
Peters, IS Pine street, confessed to his
employers three weeks ago that he had be-
come q victim to faro playing, and thus
had parted with about $50, 900 OF their
money. He made a full confession, giving
addresses and names Of the gamblers, the
dates on which he played, and the sums
lost on each occasion. His story was that
he had taken to gambling only two
months previously, and had been inveigled
into the habit by AL. Smith, the sporting
man, who has been conspicuous In the
great walking matches OF the past few
years.
Mr.. Hatch has brought suit before
Judge Truax in the Superior Court against
Charles B. Ransom and Alfred F. Smith,
and has included his cashier, George W.
Tompkins, as defendant. He obtained or
ders of arrest and they were served from
the Sheriff's Office. The defendants were
bailed in $500 each. Cashier Tompkins
has also brought a civil suit against Smith,
George Middleton. George Morgan and
Lewis d. Eaton. The bail in this suit is
$50, 900 for each defendant. These are
persons alleged to be interested in faro
games in which he lost his money.

The Tame Crow.

Once upon time there lived d crow.
He had been taken from q nest when
Young, and had been brought .upi on q
farm. so that he was quite tame. Now
this crow was very fond of eggs, and he
would sometimes visit the hens nests
and steal their eggs; and fly away with
them to the meadow behind the barn,
where he would break the. eggs and eat
them. He found that. a nice way to
break an egg was to take one in his
claws and fly up in the air and let it
fall on the ground. He would then fly
down and dine on the nice white and
yellow egg, as it ran, out of the, broken
shell. Sometimes the egg would fall on
the grass, or on the soft earth, and
would not break. Then he; would pick
it up again andcflya higher in. the air,
and letit fall from q greater height. II
it did not break then, he would take it
up again and fly even higher, and the
third time It would break, and down he
would drop to- feast. upon the broken
egg. y, ,O4-s 20 ilt,fs s.ffii sssi' :
