VALENTINE FRANK.
The Body OF h Missing Ma Found
in SawmIll Canyon.

Our Hamilton correspondent sends
US the following particulars OF tho
finding OF the skeleton of Valentine
Frank, who was lost in the snowstorm
last winter at the base of White Pine
Mountain:
The mystery connected with the
disappearance of Valentine Frank, a
shoemaker of this place, last January,
and who vas supposed TO have per-
ished in the fearful storm, which i'm
medialely followed his departure
from this place for the mines of the
late John Spiker, and which he never
reached, has now been unravelled,
and the many different stories ICON
corning HIM, which have loated
about, can now be relegated TO the
prolific imaginations ofthose who are
often (unintentlonally) toe willing
and hasty in forming conclusions.
We sincerely hope that in due time
other mysteries, which have occurred
in our midst may find an equally
plain solution and the truth be made
known.
The remains OF Valentine Frank
were found in Sawmill Ca1on, White
Pine Mountain, last Thursday, by
Jos. Ghirardelli, who vas packing
wood down the Gallon, who immedi-
ately reported the fact to Justice Bush,
who. in company with Commission
er Halstead aud others brought what
was left Of the remains i'll. An in
quest was held, and it was shown
that the remains were those OF the
missing man. On the 2lst all that re-
manned OF Valentine Frank was con-
signed to mother earth in our
terry.
The body had not been molested by
animals; his clothes were intact; his
beard had not changed, a ring was
upon his finger; and his knife in his
pocket. lie had no pipe and was des-
titute OF matches, and being an habit
ual smoker. this leads TO the coneln-
sion that he must have exhausted his
matches i'm a vain effort to light a fire.
The papers he MAS carrying to John
Spiker were found still firmly grasped
In his skeleton hand. The deceased
was a native of Germany, aged 81
years. lie leaves a wife and three
children, who left Hamilton for CAL
ifornia about n month ago.

BILLY PAUL AND HIS LITTLE GUN.
He TAX es . shot at = Night Watch-

ton.
The HALEY Times of the Goth, just
to hand, gives the following particu-
lars of a shooting scrape at that place
in which Billy Paul, a young man not
unknown to fame in this section, fig
ured as principal. Billy left here for
the northern country and 1t was re-
ported here some time since that he
had been killed up in Oregon. But
this proves untrue, forthe young nan
seems more anxious to kill some one
else than to be laid away under the
cold sod himself. He is altogether
too handy with his gun, and unless he
stops short off in his career of reck-
lessness he is destined 10 sooner or
later meet the doom of all that class
of young men who throw off all re-
straint and walk in dark and crooked
ways. The Times says:
William Paul, a sport who deals
faro in Oldham & Co.'S saloon, walked
out to the middle of Main street, In
front OF the Nevada Chop House, and
discharged two barrels of his revolver.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Connolly, who
was in a saloon about 200 feet away,
ran up and asked;
"Billy, WHAT'S the trouble here?"
"Keep away from me-" Paul IN
swered, ''or I'll shoot you"
"Why, Billy" said Connolly, APP
preaching all the time, ssyou amt
u.watp1 - akaot 49,. la xynt.Dji
"Yes, l WILL" retorted Paul, who
suited the action 10 the word, aud dis
charged shot from his revolver.
The bullet cut through Connolly's
coat, vest and two flannel shirts, and
graZed the flesh about one inch below
the right nipple. Half an inch higher
and closer and Connolly would have
been a dead man. The bullet was
afterward found to have knocked Il
piece of the lower sash OF the south
window of Riley & Tracy's drugstore,
perforating and SCATTERING The glass,
and bringing up against the metal
reservoir Of "A student lamp. From
there il fell To the floor, where it was
found this morning.
Connolly thereupon exclaimed,
"Bllly, you've hit mel" and took out
his gun. AT the same time Iaul re-
placed his gun in his pocket and be-
gan walking toward the restaurant.
Connolly, not wishing TO kill a man
when not absolutely necessary, did
not shoot, but followed him into the
restaurant and arrested him.
Jack Campbell, Jailer OF the County,
OPPORTUNITY came up about this time.
A-woman of the town who was sitting
at the same table with Paul was also
arrested, and the TWO were taken 10
Jail, where the woman deposited $40
Tor her appearance as a witness when
wanted.
This morning Paul was taken be-

upon two charges-the one, of resist

intent to murder. He was required

the bail bond.
Paul formerly lived in White Pine,
Nevada, where Connolly first became
acquainted with him ten or twelve
years ago. He came here from Cher
ry Creek about two years ago.

ruin as our citizens never beheld. Ii
struck the Methodist Church, first
dashing it TO splinters, jumping oyet a

then rose in its fury, and passed on to
distance of 400 yards, next striking the
