The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1881-03-19

Clark was shot by Hank Parrish at Ell
Dorado Canyon, the lower part Of this
county, and news of the shooting reached
Phoebe Sunday morning, the 9th instant,
and four days after that news reached
Phoebe that Greenwood had died and
Clark was not expected to survive his
wounds, yet not move was made for the
arrest of the supposed murderer Last
Saturday Sheriff Mckee received dis
patch from John c. King, the Sheriff of
San Bernardino county, California, stat
ing that he knew where Parrish was and
could and would arrest him if so ordered.
Sheriff Mckee showed the dispatch to
one of our County Commissioners and
asked him if the county would pay the
expense for the arrest of Parrish and his
transportation; if so he would have the
murderer arrested and go after him and
bring him to Phoebe? The Commissioner
said that he had talked with several in
regard to the matter, that the expense of
trial would be too heavy on the bankrupt
county, that they would have to pay an
attorney $500 for prosecuting the case,
and with the result of the McLane case
before them, it was thought that Parrish
could not be convicted. The other Com
missoners are of the same opinion. We
are unaware of the District Attorney hav-
ing done anything in the matter, and not
withstanding his having received letter
containing the circumstances Of the case,
he never made complaint and had war.

To OPIUM SMoKERs--Governor Kin.
kead has signed Moriarty's bill to amend
the Opium law. The amendment is to
Section l of the Opium Act Of 1877,
which section is made to read as follows:
"From and after the last day of March,
1881, it shall be unlawful for any person
or persons, as principals or agents, to
have in their possession any opium pipe,
or part thereof, or found smoking the
same, or to sell or to give away for such
purpose, Or otherwise dispose of any
opium in this State, except druggists and
apothecaries; and druggists and apothe.
carries shall sell it only on the prescrip-
ton of legally practicing physician. u
| The penalty under the statute for any
violations Of its provisions is fine not to
exceed 1000, or imprisonment not to
exceed two years, or both by fine and i'm
prisonment.
Nor DEAD. Although news wa.
brought to Phoebe last week by the FL
Dorado pony rider to the effect that
| Greenwood had died and that Clark was
not expected to live, fortunately such
proves not to be the case. A letter re-
ceived from the Canyon last Tuesday
night, written by Andy Fife, states that
Greenwood is out of danger and will soor
be all right and that Clark's wound will
soon heal.
