MINERS WAGES.
IN ElOqupnce of Mr.. POwniDg on
This Important Topic.

The EloquPnce of Mr.. POwniDs ON
This Important Topic.
1t will be remembered that o little less
than two years ago George Daily had a row
with the miners at Bodie, and that he and
Mr.. Yerington, of the V. & T. R. R., had
to skip out Of that camp to save them
selves from lynching by an infuriated
mob. The following notice Of the affair,
taken from the Ruby Hill Mining News,
then edited by James E. Anderson, will be
read at this time with unusual interest. 1t
will show in q very forcible way how mems
opinions OF one another may change radi-
caily in a very short time, etc., etc., etc.
The notice referred to we reproduce with
out further comment:
"Daly has friends, among whom is the
Senator Powning, editor Of the Reno
State Journal. 1t is with regret that We
are called upon to quote language like the
following from q little man, who, by his
unequaled brass, energy and good luck,
has forced himself up from the position Of
a peanut peddler on a small railroad to the
Plouu pOoitiOh v q NONdud othbC oClhtOl
1t is more than probable that this same
Mr.. Powning occupies his seat in the Ne
vada Legislature through the votes Of men
for whose interests he has no concern. If
our Commonwealth exists eight more years
it would not be beyond the cheek Of our
honorable Senator to ask OF it's miners
their support to place in the Gubernatorial
chair his own slight frame, and we now
give them his sentiments:"
"Daiy, 1t sciH be remembered had con-
siderable trouble ,rita the miners at Bodie
a yea, or so ago. DAILY has got the spunk
not to oU0,c his business to be run By out
siders; and he is Just right in the matter.
Fmen are ,ciHinO to sco,h for him for So
per day, no organized mob of outsiders
can step in and prerent his men from
scOrkin0 for less than 81 or So per day"
In order that there may be no %misappre.
hension in this matter, we will add, for
the sake of greater clearness, that the first
paragraph quoted conveys the sentiments
of Mr.. Anderson, and that the second con-
tains the words of Mr.. Powning as repro
duced in the News by Mr.. Anderson from
MI. Powning's paper, the Reno Journal.

The first day Of this festival was OBJ
served yesterday by our Israelitish citi-
Hens with all the ceremonies appropriate
LOT the occasion. Their places Of busi-
ness were all closed, which gave to Main
stFeet a rather melancholy and Sunday
!ook. Nearly the entire block between
bateman and Clark streets on the west is
made up Of their business places, which
we're all closed against the outer world.
;Heiieious services we're held in Odd Fell
lows Hall by Rabbi Fl. Lowenberg. The
evening was given up to social reunions at
.ne Residences of some of our Israelitish
friends, at which time there was feasting

A New PuxxIe for Cranks.

The following 10 claimed a. the latest
puzzle for cranks to break their noodles
over:
III a man out hunting sees a squirrel on
a tree, and, endeavoring to get . shot,
walks in a circle around the tree. follow
ing the squirrel, and keeping opposite to
1t, until both have returned to the points
from which they started, does the man go
around the squirrel ?"
It is said that persons Of quick tsmper-
ament come to a hasty conclusion that tho
hunter goes around the squirrel. while
others think just the re~verse-that he does
not. Many examples are given to show
that the sportsman must circle the squir-
rel, and vice usrsa. Those who are quick
at unraveling mysteries can take the pug
gle in hand.

KILLED In AN Arrn..

hILLED IN AN AFFRAY-On Sat
urday night last, an ARRAY occurred at
barnes grocery, in Missouri, opposite
Hickman, in wich Mr.. VIM. Crasl killed
Mr. j. N. Norvill Our information is
that both parties had been over in Hick-
man Saturday after noon, and both drink
ing to some extent. After crossing the
river on their way home, thew stopped
at Barnes grOcsry, and commenced
drinking again. Words passed and the
fight commenced. Creel states that Nor
will started towards him with . drawn
knife, and that he, (Cresl) struck him
three times with stick over m. head
Norvill was carried to Barnes bou.s. but
was not supposed to be dangerously hurt.
During the night he died. Crsel was in
Hickman Monday morning, and claims
that he struck NorVill is self defence. and
hadent the slightest intention of killing
him. Both parties to the unfortunate af-
fair had the name of being very clever
men, and we can hear Of no previous i'll
feeling between them. From in Information
given us, ,hs ARRAY was clearly traceabls
to too much drink, and should be a warn
ing to all TO beware of the terrible results
that sometimss follow these sprsss.

ture is true to life, not q hair more or less

original tramp native TO this section, and
he is probably known by more people,
men, women and children, on the line OF
his circuit from Tennessee to Arkansas,
than any other living creature. There is
no harm in Bill. lie is purely natural
born idiom and vsgsbond, with no immor-
al habits or inclinaiions. Nothing can

any kind of workout forthe latter he is
not responsible. His rights sad privi-

THE EnRn-,RnYs

Kansas City Special to the Chicago Trtbune.l
The trial of Robert Ford for the killing
of Wood Hite was called in the Criminal
Court of Ray county this morning. Ford,
his brother Charley and Sheriff Timber
lake going to that point by special train.
Bob Ford, since the killing of Jesse James,
has gone heavily armed, and to-day sew
eral friends also armed accompanied him
10 Richmond. There was considerable ex-
element at that point during the morn
ing, but upon the opening of Court Ford s
attorneys asked for a change of venture TO
Clinton county, which was granted. The
Ford boys, accompanied by the officers,
returned to Kansas City tonight via the
Wabash railway, and at n point near Lib
erty, in Clay county. an exciting scene
occurred. Bob and Charley were riding
in the rear ear, when suddenly two rocks
were hurled through the car windows
from the outside, scattering the broken
glass in all directions and wound ing two
passengers, although fortunately the
stones struck no one. In an instant the
Ford Boys and Sheriff Timberlaks had
their revolvers out, thinking probably
Frank James and some of his friends had
the train, knowing that the Ford
boys were on board, but, a. the attack
was not continued, it was concluded that
the stone throwing was the work of
tramp. The train was instantly stopped,
aud several men, including the Ford
boys, ran down the track TO point from
" hich the rocks were thrown, and empt-
led their revolvers into the underbrush
and timber. AS can be imagined, such an
occurrence created the greatest excite
IN ent among the passengers on board the
train, and not until the Union depot in
this city was reached could certain Of
them think that the whole thing was sim
ply false alarm, instead Of boHna Jfds
attack Of the train~robbers.

Some of our citizens have commenced
g correspondence with the engine err Of the
St. Louis water works relative TO the
Praeticability, of building watsr works
on the Sheppard hill, to supply Hickman
with water fer general purposes, aud es-
pecislly to fight ere. There is no parti-
Gle OF question but what the factories,
mills, streets, stores and residences in
the lower part of town, could thus be am
ply Supplied, and there are many who
argue that the natural pressure OF the
fall of water from such location would
threw water ever the highest houses in
the lower part of town without the aid OF
an engine. These are points worthy of
