Local. INTELLIGENCE.

a cutting ARRAY occurred i'll the Panaca
saloon. A little after l. o'clock on the
night mentioned man by the name of
John Bumister, one of those kind of
WORTHLESS, DRINKS so common in mining
camps, walked into the Panaca saloon
and stood by the stove, then commenced
growing at Chas. Stem, the proprietor,
who was engaged in playing cards with
several other persons. Stein ordered
Bumister out of the saloon several times
and told him that he wished no disturb
ance made in the house, but Bumister
continued standing by the stove growing.
Stein finally got up and went to put
Bumister ont OF the house, when the lat
ter drew knife, cutting Stein in the right
breast the blade of the knife penetrating
the lung. Bumister was about to plunge
the knife into Stein again, but Stein
grabbed the blade with his right hand,
when bystander stepped up and caught
Bumister, who broke away, and holding
up his knife said he would not be arrest
ed, whereupon the bystander drew his
gun. hit Bumister over the head with it,
took the knife away, and made him sit in
chair till the Sheriff came and took HIM
to Jail. Fortunately STEMS wounds, it
is thought, will not prove fatal. His
right hand is severely cut. 1t is to be
hoped that the proper officials will see to
Bumister receiving the punishment that
the law prescribes in such cases, notwlth-
standing that Stein recommends turning
Bumister loose and ordering him out of
town.

THERE is more vigorous prospecting
now being done throughout this section Of
country than has been done for years,
owing to the large number OF idle men,
who are now devoting their time search
ing for the hidden treasure, and num-
bel. of very promising lodges have been
discovered at different points, and though
little or no work of development has been
done on these claims as yet, the big as
says obtained from the top leads us tC
believe that they will prove valuable a:
development progresses. 1T Is an III
wind that blows no body some good,
and it looks as though the dull time:
would be the means of opening up the
vast fields of rich mineral that abound'
throughout this section of the county.
A BILL has been passed in the Assem-
bly, at Carson compelling all boards o
County Commissioners to advertise thei
expenditure in newspaper published ii
the county, thus showing the tax
PAYERS lust how fast their money is be
ing spent The law now requires tn
boards of County Commissioners to pub
lish the quarterly reports of Treasurers
Auditors, yet the Commissioners of Lin
coin county have not done so for NOR
than two years, Notwithstanding that
Grand Jury requested them to obey tn
law. The tax payers should be kept il
darkness, pay their burdensome taxes
and ask no questions. We see no sens
in passing laws of this character if the
are not obeyed.
