The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1882-03-25

lated that the two little boys of A. Nc
Maths, Robbie and Willie, aged seven
and five years, were missing As the
children had been seen at the lower end
of town at o'clock, nothing was thought
about the matter, but couple of men
assisted the mother to search the town
for them, but the boys could not be
found. At o'clock lanterns were gotten
out and citizens turned out in full force
and scattered in various directions in
the hills and valley in search of children.
About 10 o'clock one of the parties got on
their trail, and traced it to shaft out
beyond the old Bowery mine. Here the
trail ended, and it was thought that the
little ones had fallen into it. This shaft
was over 200 feet in depth, and a man re-
turned to town for rope. After much
trouble Little Jack Baxter was lowered
to the bottom of the shaft, and when he
shouted up that their bodies were not
there, the feelings of the crowd was
greatly relieved. Search was kept up by
various parties until o'clock next morn
ing but nothing of the missing boys was
discovered. On Thursday morning men
both on horse and foot started out again
in search of the boys. The Indians were
brought into requisition, and with the
vision of big poker stake before them,
they scattered into the sagebrush. In
dian Wallace struck the the boys trail,
and trailed them to the old Clark Station,
and then out into the fiat for four miles,
about seven miles from town, when the
Oldest boy was seen coming towards the
Indian. Mr.. D. g. Clark, who had been
following the Indian through the brush
with his wagon, picked up the little fell
low. The boy told that his brother was
out in the brush, and after going a half
a mile farther, the youngest boy was dis
covered under sagebush sound asleep
Neither of the boys were frightened, nor
showed any uneasiness whatever, but
the miserable night their poor mother
spent, can well be imagined When the
boys entered town in the wagon, cheer
went up from the crowd. Mr.. Clark
says the Indian moved along in q rapid
walk trailing the the boys, when he him
self was unable to see the least signs of a
track whatever. The Indian received
SIS for his trouble, and considered him
self the wealthiest man in the State
SroRMONT EMBARRASSED. It will no
doubt prove matter of very great sur
prise to many, says the Silver Reef
Miner of the Goth, to learn that the Stor-
mont Company's property, consisting of
their mines and l0-stanp mill, was at
tached this morning, at the instance of
Mccormick & Co., bankers of Salt Lake
City, upon claim for money advanced
to the amount of some $4,000. This
startling announcement fell like wet
blanket upon the $50 employees, as we'll
as the creditors generally, to whom the
company are in arrears for labor and sup.
plies for nearly two months. While it is
generally supposed that every obligation
of the company will be met, in time, it
will, nevertheless, have very injurious
effect upon all business enterprises with
in the district The suits in attachment
by Mccormick & Co. and others are
neither more nor less than strict business
precautions, and seem to be fully justified
by the misrepresentation made of the
company's large product and reserve fund
by the managers in New York. s--1
