Geo. G. Blair, who was stabbed at
osceola by j. r. Middleton, on the
morning of the 9th instant, died at
6 P. N. the following day. DIR. Tuf-
ford reached Osceola the morning be-
fore his death and found the wound to
be fatal and the patient sinking rap
idly. The quarrel which provoked
the fatal ARRAY was trivial in its
nature, and it is to be regretted
that 1t led to so terrible a result. It
seems the lie passed between the par
ties, when Blair slapped Middleton
on the side of the head. The latter
was using a common jack-knife, cut
ting a cord at the time, and, turning
round quickly, struck Blair with it in
the abdomen, the blade penetrating
the in~testines. Middleton then gave
himself up to the authorizes and was
taken to Hamilton. Both men are
old and well known residents of this
county, and general regret Is felt over
the sad occurrence.

The swindling Scheme OF h ''Emi-
nently Respectable Gentlemen -
Sat Down ON.
Following is q summary of the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the Ne
vada lottery Ease :
The State of Nevada ex rel NJ. A. Murphy,
Attorney General. ~relator, We. j. b. Overton,
r. ?. Heating. and Mercer 0tey, respondents.
Articles of Association Of the Nevada Ben
evolent Association were filed In the Office Of
the County Clerk Of Storey county on Feb. 10,
1881. The object of the corporation being to
establish and carry on the business of provid-
ing for and giving public entertainments in
the State of Nevada, to sell tickets of admis-
sion to such entertainment and to distribute
among ticket holders certain prizes, $4,000,
from each establishment to be given to the
State for charitable purposes. The Act to
aid the Nevada Benevolent Association Was
passed by the last Legislature and approved
March Q, 1881. The Attorney General alleges
that respondents, as trustees of said Associa-
ton are without warrant of law in going on
Are the acts of respondents without warrant
OF law, and Is the act approved March D, 1881,
unconstitutional
First is tho scheme q lottery This ques-
ton is answered in the affirmative by the de-
cision Of this Court in ex parte Blanchard, 9
New, l04. Is that decision correct 7 1t cerS
tainly u.s.. 1t Is sustained by every decision
that has been rendered by the various courts
in the United States upon this question. Not
withstanding this fact, we are now asked to
declare that the proposed entertainment is
not a lottery. Why not? What is a lottery +?
Every scheme for the distribution Of prizes
by chance is n lottery. Then follow a num-
bsr Of decisions of various courts in like
cases. The character of the scheme Is in no
way changed by the. charitable purpose ex-
pressed in the title, nor by calling II drawing
entertainment or gift concerts. Then follow
reasons why il Is a lottery. Is the Act Con-
stituti0nal ? The language OF the Constitu-
ton is susceptible but Of one meaning:
M lottery scheme shall be authorized by
this State, nor shall the sale of lottery tickets
be allowed" Art ". See. p.
Ii would be a perversion Of the Language OF
the Constitution TO say that the Act Is valid.
The argument that the words by the State"
were inherited for the purpose of preventing
the Legislature from authorizing public lot
teries as n means of raising revenue, and
that the permission was not intended to pre-
vent the Legislature from authorizing private
lotteries Is wholly u~ntenable. No authority
has been produced In its support, and we are
satisfied that none can be found.
The judgment of this Court Is that the re-
spondents have no right. liberty or franchise,
BY virtue OF any law, to advertise, prist. cir
culate or sell any tickets in the scheme or
enterprise Of the Nevada Benevolent Associa-
ton within this State, or to do any OF the acts
specified In the statute to aid the Nevada Be-
n~evolent Association, and that the costs Of
this proceeding be taxed against the respond
