The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1882-02-18


The quadrilles danced by the Nor
mons are altogether different from those
danced in other sections. They are much
longer, twice as many figures in them as
| any we have ever saw, and are much
nicer than we have ever INDUCED in be-
fore. The quadrilles danced in Phoebe
are much different. Our quadrilles have
no life in them. The music our musicians
play on such occasions is dirge, some
thing like that on which the old COW
died, the lady goes through the figure
with snail-like rapidity, as though she
feared if she moved any faster her corset
| strings would snap to pieces. Such is
not the case with the Mormon dance.
The music is lively, the calls rapid, and
the dancers are on the 60 from the time
they stand up until they sit down. To
stranger, at first, the dances are little
| awkward At first we succeeded in
| bungling up a number of sets, much to
the discontinue of the dancers, and
notwithstanding the diminutiveness of
our feet, they would become entangled.
Toward the end of the dance We got so
that we could execute the promenade
all" figure just as good as any other
Mormon.
SILVER REEF, Utah, Feb. ia
shooting ARRAY occurred here about s
o'clock last evening As VIM. Wyatt
was approaching the entrance of dance
house of which he is proprietor, he was
accosted by Henry Mix, professional
jockey, and after a brief squabble in re-
gard to money difficulty which existed
between them, Wyatt drew a revolver
and hit Mix on the head, knocking him
down and inhicting severe but not fatal
scalp wound. A third party named
Isaac Van Zant, friend of Mix, then
took hand in the melee. Six or seven
shots were exchanged between him and
Wyatt. One of the balls struck the lat
ter, penetrating the groin about three
inches to the right of the navel
We learn from Chas. Hubert, who ar
rived here from the Reef Friday morning,
that Wyatt had died the day that he
left. Wyatt was the individual who ac-
companied the Chinese sport that paid a
visit to Phoebe about a year ago, who,
it will be remembered, used the snap
ping andy" with effect, to the sorrow of
those who played with him.
