FOUL MURDER AT SILVER REEF.

vocation.
A Salt Lake Tribune's special from
Silver Reef, dated Feb. 3D., say;
A cowardly murder was committed
here about half-past eleven last night.
Herbert Steele, a printer, recently con
nected with the Miner, having been
refused a drink at the Capitol saloon,
became quarrelsome, and finally drew
a revolver on Johnny Quillan, the
bartender. Wn. Rafferty,, who wa
near by, told Steele to put up his gum,
~ d remarked that he wouldn't shoot
anybody. Steele replied, 'tThe hill
wouldn't' and pointing the pistol al
Rafferty,, fired. The ball entered in
front ofthe right shoulder, and ranged
toward the heart, causing death In a
few minutes. Quillan would have
shot Steele on the spot, but was pre-
vented by one of the bystanders
grasping the pistol. Steele was i'm
mediately seized and lodged in Jail,
and strongly guarded for the double
purpose of preventing escape and pre-
tectiug him from the fury OF the ex-
cited citizens. Steele is regarded as a
dangerous character, having been the
leading actor, it is said, in other shoot.
ing one of which occurred
not long ago in Cherry Creek, Ne
vada, and resulted in the death OF a
| prominent citizen of that place. Raj
| ferty has been a saloon-keeper here
for years, MAS a peaceable and In
offensive man, and had the respect OF
all who knew him. He leave a wife
| and three children 10 mourn his death.
| The feeling against Steele is very Bit
| ter, and Judging from sentiments ex-
| pressed on all sides, it would not be a
| matter of much wonder if to NOR
rows dawn found him dangling at
the end of a rope.
Steele worked on the News here
just a year ago. and will be remem
bered by many of our people. When
drunk he was Of an irritable and
quarrelsome disposition. Indeed,
when be left here he vas apparently
on the homse stretch to degradation
and ruin, having added the vicious
habit of opium smoking to his other
frailties. The dispatch, however, is
in error in stating that he was con-
cerned in the murder of a citizen of
this place. Jerry Sullivan is perhaps
the party referred too, but Steele had
nothing to do with that affair, further
than to come to his aid after be-
ing shot, while his (~Sullivan's) cow
ardly companions ran away and left
the wounded man 10 die. Steele is
from Alabama, is well educated, a
first-class workman, and when at HIM
self, a man OF good address and gen.
erous impules. Like many others,
evil associates and want OF nerve to
resist his appetites are doubtless the
causes that have led to the commits
sion of this great crime. A private
dispatch from Silver Reef, dated the
9Th, says Steele is in Jail, and no at
tempt at l%ynching has been made.
VIM. Rafferty,, the murdered man,
is we'll known by many of the old
timers on Treasure Hill, where he
| worked as a miner in the early days.

~sherInan,s Howl.

In the Senate last week Sherman
revived his old bugbear about the out
flow of gold, and was promptly cor
rected by Senator Teller, who referred
him to the official financial state
ments. A drain Of gold from the
United States has been a hobby with
Sherman ever since he got it into his
head that he was the great and only
authority on finance in the United
States, but facts, figures and events
have shown his financial theories to
be baseless and nonsensical. He il
as good as defeated on his funding
bill; but to hear him have a real good
cry over the danger of gold leaving
the country we must wait, says the
Stock Report, till Senator FAIR intro
duces his bill for the free coinage of
silver. Then will John give vent to
his best bowls of anguish for the
safety of the country in general and
the interests of the National banks in
particular. II speaks truly,
Sherman is interested in a National
bank in New York and was so inter-
ested during a portion of the time he
held the Treasury portfolio.

What the Surveyor Missed.

A surveyor who was running township
lines in new county in this State last fall
was engaged by farmer to survey the line
between his farm and that of neighbor. They
had line once, but had engaged in several
disputes as to whether it was on the divide
The surveyor was making preparations when
the owner of the other farm approached and
inquired
"What are you going to do now?"
"Find the exact line" was the reply
At this the man wheeled and went off on
the gallop, and he was seen no more until
the line had been run. The surveyor and
the first named farmer had just completed
the work when the other came up to within
about ten feet of them and asked:
"Well, have you got through ?"
eyes all through"
"And is the fence foot on his farm p
mo, he has two feet of yours, and the
fence must be moved so that you can have
it,"
The man sprang upon stump, faced a
thicket about five rods away, and yelled out
"You, there-Reuben and James and SAM

right? You kin shoulder them shot.guns and

The Hickory Nut Dodge.

A certain laborer attending plasterer who
was first coating" on the third story of a
house found that he had much to do; for,
work as hard as he could, the plaster board
was always empty and the plasterer waiting
when he got up. AT last he hit upon novel
way of frightening his labor. He purchased
three cents worth of hickory nuts, and, put
ting a few among the mortar in the hod, he
emptied it on the board. The plasterer, see
ing nut among the lime as he was laying it
on the wall, picked it out, and, cleaning it
with his apron, cracked the shell and ate the
kernel. Repetition of this several times took
up so much of his time that when the hod-
man came up the next time, very little of
the former mortar had been used The hod-
man put in few more whenever he was fall
ing behind, and at night told his boss if he
would add quarter day to his wages he
would keep any two plasterers going

Bill Nye on Oscar Wilde.

We went down to the overland train
Thursday evening to see the great aesthetic
We picked him out without any trouble and
tackled him for quiet little talk all by our
selves
Mr.. Wilde is very tall, with a face like
broadaxe. We told him that our name was
Nye, the great Wyoming aesthetic. He
smiled like rolling mill and shook hands.
He wore a soft hat and a kind of steel col
ored velvet sack coat. He also were his
hands in his pockets clear up to his elbow
joints. He wears kind of Byron collar and
n necktie the color of diseased liver. His
pants were of a gray material and held in
place with pale pink gum suspenders. These
| were shown as he stopped over, his coat
being cut just below the shoulder blades
His shoulder blades are high and intellectual.
He wears his hair long, with hay and little
mementoes from the sleeping-car in it. His
face is thin, and when buried in a piece of pie
must be CHASTITY sight.
He spoke of various topics with a seduc-
tive drawl wiggling his timber, angle worm
legs as he spoke, and posing like giraffe

'Tis the part of a coward to brood
Ger tho past. that is withered and dead
What though the heart roses are ashes and dust
What though the hearts music be fed?
Still shine the grand heavens oerhead.
Whence the voice of an angel thrills clear on the

"GIrd about thee thine armor, press on to the

II the faults or the crimes of thy youth
Are burden too heavy to bear,
What hope can rcbloom on the desolate waste
OF q jealous and craven despair
Down. down with the letters of fear
In the strength of thy yalor and manhood arise,
With the faith that ilumes and the will that de-
fies.
TOO late!" through God S infinite world,
From His throne to llfe's nethermost fires;
TOO late!" is phantom that flies at the dawn
OF a soul that repents and aspires.
If pure thou hast made thy DESIRES
There's no height the strong wings of immortals
may gain,
Which in striving to reach, thou shalt strive for
in vain !!
Then up to the contest with fate,
Unbound by the past, which is dead!

What though the hearts music be fled?
Still shine the fair heavens oerhead
And sublime as the angel who rules in the sun
Beams the promise of peace when the conflict is

agreed to call the child Thomas.

The personal organ of Bloomfield
and Daniels, most Familiarity known
as the Cancer, makes complaint that
this paper is INDUCING in personali-
ties when protesting against the ma
chine rule of these would-be bosses of
the republican party in Clarke county.
So it is a personal matter, of vital per-
sonal importance to every voter in
Clarke county. By what right, moral
or political, do these men presume to
dictate who shall run and who shall
not run on the republican ticket? By
machine management they have for
years dictated who shall be the re-
publican candidates, giving away the
county offices as though they carried
them in their breeches pockets. That
is proceeding entirely too personal,
and the republican voters who object
to being led by the nose by these men
have determined to protest against
the machine, and will be heard from
loudly on the seventh of November.
