The Knife at Deeth

John Hill and John overstoek, says the
Elko Independent, we're parties to a game
Of cards at Deeth, night before last, and
the latter having lost what money he had,
asked Hill for a loan, and on being refused
drew a pocket-knife and began carving Hill
as he sat at the table. Before the latter
could gain his feet overstock stabbed him
in the small Of the back and cut 9 long
cash in his shoulder. In warding of an
other blow Hill also received a cut in the
hand. Hill then dealt Overstock a blow
with a chair he seized, whereupon the latter
ran from the saloon where a saddle horse
belonging to II. II. Coryelle OF Star Valley
wss hitched. mounted the animal and rode
away. Hills wounds, though severe, are
said to be not dangerous.
overstock had been working for Coryelle
on his ranch.

AN EXCITING Nav
A Paradise Vaquero Performs n
Daring Feat.


Daring Feat.
A correspondent of the Silver State
writes /: 1.-THE team of w. H. Holt. 8
lively span Of young horses. while hitched
to q carriage in from, OF Billy Twists sa-
loon In Paradise, became frightened, broke
the straps by which they were tied, and
started down the valley at full speed, as
only runaway horses can 60. Everybody
stood amazed save one, Joe O'Neal, q
splendid rider. who, seeing a chance for a
lively race, mounted q mustang and
started after the team, which WAS then
fully half q mile from town, and going at
full speed. The writer also mounted and
started third in the race, but before he had
ridden two miles from town, he saw Joe
In the carriage, away out in the sagebrush,
herding his saddle horse and endeavoring
TO get him back to town. Joe had over
taken he team, and riding up beside it,
jumped of his saddle horse into the car
rage, grabbed the lines, and in a Few
minutes had the team under full control.
This is q feat which only experienced
riders should attempt, and which even
they do not always succeed in accomplish
ing. No sooner was Joe comfortably
seated In the wagon than the horse which
he had been riding broke for the noun
tains, so he whipped up the team and sue
ceeded in heading him of, and got him
and the team and wagon to town in good
shape, where he was pronounced "a brick"
by the spectators, and all hands adjourned
10 i'smile" over his success.

ASSAULT.
A Young Man Knocked Down ON
Ruby Avenue.


Ruby Avenue.
A dastardly attempt at robbery or muir
der was perpetrated last evening about
half-past z O'Clock upon the person OF
young Leon Haskell. The fact Of its be-
ing q bright moonlight night, and on a
much-trayeled thoroughfare, makes the
act a bold and daring one such an one
as has never been equaled in this commu-
nifty before. Haskell was just returning
from dinner, and his way led him into
Ruby Avenue, about 100 yards west Of the
SENTINEL Office, when he perceived o man
behind him, evidently coming towards
town. He paid no particular attention to
him, when suddenly he received a blow on
the head which felled him to the ground.
He was stunned for q moment, but imme-
diately arose and, facing the man, asked
him what he wanted. The latter made no
reply, but hastily walked away, going up
the gulch. Haskell, not being armed, did
not think fit to follow him, but came down
town and called on q physician, who
dressed the wound, a deep cut, about two
inches long o the crown Of his head. He
cannot understand for what motive he was
assaulted, as no attempt was made to rob
him; If there was such a design, the fact OF
his Immediately rising from the ground
and facing him, made the man weaken and
walk off. He describes his assailant as
being rather large, wearing a coat with a
high collar, which concealed his form so
that he was not able to identify him. Mr..
Haskell claims to have no enemies, and
knows no reason why he should be thus
attacked, unless he was mistaken for some
other man. However, it is a serious mat
ter, and fully demonstrates that we still
have in our community some bad men,
who will not stop at anything to accom-
plish their purpose. even though the life
Of some innocent citizen lie at stake.

WARD ITEMS.


From the Reflex of last Tuesday.
The railroad surveying party with which
Mr.. McGill was connected has not stopped
work for the Winter, as was reported.
There ia nc demand in Ward for miners
nor working men Of any description.
All reports to the contrary are without
foundation.
A rumor has reached Ward that the Star
mine at Cherry Greek has or Is about to
shut down. The statement is made that
an attempt was made to sink below the
lowest level, and that the water came in
too strong for the pump.
A strike, claimed to be OF considerable
importance, is reported to have been made
a few days ago in the Madre funnel. A
specimen was left at Poujade q Garaghan's
for our inspection. but was taken away be-
fore we had q chance to see 1t.

Hon. George W. Cassidy writes pleas
sntly to friend in Reno Of his new life at

greater amount of work to be gotten
through with than he had any idea Of. He

was partial to him on that account. He
says:

There are several important measures be-
fore the former, but it is the latter that
oyerwhelms q fellow. The Chairman Of
the District Committee was also partial to
me. He assigned me to the subcommittee
on street improvements, education and
public charities. One-half' of the people
OF the District want things done one way
and the other half want them lone ON
other way. And 30 it goes; but you are
never free from those who favor or oppose.
Then there are the school people and the
charity folks. They imagine that Nevada
