Editor Reflex: The White Pine
News OF the 10th, commenting on the
O'Neil tragedy, says:
at Is doubtful II a Grand Jury can
be found in White Pine county to IN
dict the O'Neil murderers."
Is not this a gratuitous insult to
every tax payer in the county, Has
justice fallen so low in White Pine
county that it may be published
broadcast that a Grand Jury selected
from its tax payers will violate their
oaths? NJ. b. g.
Keep your shirt on, NJ. b. g., and
don't go into any violent spasms of
virtuous indignation. Do you not
remember a little occurrence that
happened at Thirty-Mile Springs
about four years ago? II was in broad
daylight, and there were several wit
nesses to The affair. As in the case
under consideration u human life was
taken, and though Judge Rives held
the KNowN actor In the tragedy before
two successive Grand Juries, they, on
both occasions, failed To indict. And,
il u memory serves us right, NJ. Ii.
e., was on one of the aforesaid Grand
Juries. Does NJ. b. e., also forget
when one Donohue was taken out in
1876 in Ward and hung by a mob?
And did any Grand Jury ever do any,
thing about THAR In expressing our
doubt we simply judge the future by

A party, composed Of Messrs. Will
lam and Evan Harris and A. h. Nc.
Donald, accompanied by Mrs. Harris,
Miss Maggie Lloyd and several
younger members OF the Harris fam
lily went out to Gallagher's ranch at
Duck Creek to spend the Fourth.
They returned Thursday night and re-
port having had n good time, and be.
Ing handsomely entertained at Gala
gher's. The gentlemen took "A hunt in
Tho neighboring hills, where game is
abundant. The senior member OF
the party got lost from his eompan-
ions, and this created some alarm
when the balance of the party re-
turned TO the ranch. The sun was al
ready well down in the western hea-
vens and the dark shadows OF the
high peaks spread far out into the
valley and darkened the deep canons
as the searching party went forth to
look for the lost one. Visions of
bears and perhaps a mangled corpse
rose in the minds OF the searchers as
they called out at the pitcn OF their
voices the name of the lost ore, but
nothing but the empty echoes re-
sponded To their call. Finally, to
the great joy of all, William was
found at tho base Of a limestone
ledge, breaking rock with the butt
OF his gun. Holding up a piece OF
the rock to his astonished gazers,
he coolly asked "What do you
think of THAR" The answer he got
was not such as to induce William to
make a location.

Dense volumes of smoke, the shrilf

yesterday eve and created almost a
panic on the streets, when it was dis

works were ablaze. The fire, which
originated in the boiler-room adjoin-

after the miners on night shift had
been lowered to their respective lev

the boiler room to pump water into
the boilers. During his absence,
which was but momentary, a pile of
sagebrush near the furnaces caught
fire. In a moment the flames spread
and soon the roof of the boiler room
and the west side OF the main build

vouring flame. Two streams of water

blazing pile, but without effect; the
confiagration had gained SO much

peril they were in. The sides and
roof of the huge inflammable frame

the doomed building and a shower of

pouring onto the floor and down the
shaft. Signaling engineer Al. Griffin,
who nobly stood OF his post, all
through the trying ordeal-the flames

to hoist was given and the two started
on their perilous ride upward-their
only way for escape-through q mass
of falling fire and timber. Rapidly
descending through the old shaft, the
foreman notified the men on the other

Murder and LynehIng I'm Butte
Valley.

Information reaches us from Butte
Valley hal the Indians out there have
been taking pattern after their white
brothers. Last week an Indian squaw
named Minnie, we'll known in town,
where she seemed To be a general IA
vorite with the white folks, was killed
by her buck for some cause or other,
most probably the green-eyed mon
ster had taken possession oil the brave
warrior and he slew his dusky spouse.
As soon as the news got out the tribe
held a consultation, ropes were pro-
cured and the murderer was dragged
about till his prosecutors tired of the
amusement. He was then hitched to
a horse and the cruel work of perse-
cution and death was completed.
When they got through pulling the
dead aud mangled body over the
rough hills. 1t WAS torn ina most fear
fnl manner and past recognition.
Minnie, the squaw whom The buck
killed, was raised by Mrs. Gedney in
Butte Valley, and Was quite intelli-
eent and very polite for one Of her
race. No doubt her slayer met his
just deserts.

BREAKING A BALL.
The Futile Efforts Made by an IN
invited Crowd Of ROughs
to Stop a Dance.
Brickbats and other Missiles
Hurled at the HOuse---IBge-
nutty of the hostess.

One of the most recherche (2) affairs
OF the season, and, in fact, in the
whole history OF Memphis, was given
on - street last night, The novel
and interesting ball had its origin in
the fertile brain of a young lady, and
she, without the aid or advice of any
masculine, thoroughly organized her
corps Of able assistants, and carried
out every detail calculated to cause
the hearts oil the few favored with in
vitations to glow with pride and pleas
ure. To her mind it was necessary
that some one should stand at the
door to inspect the invitations and
see that no one entered without the
required papers. For this purpose she
selected man of herculean frame, as
it was clear that crowd of jealous
neighbors would attempt to interrupt
and break up her pet scheme; and
events proved that she was not mista-
ken. The invited guests assembled
in the spacious parlors on the lower
floor, the music, comprising one fiddle
and French harp. struck up lively
waltz, the gentlemen seized their fair
partners and led them out on the floor
and commenced to keep step with the
sOulStirring strains, when the crowd
of Invited to, the-outside guests also
became interested. and having no
other way to manifest their interest,
began to hurl bricks, dirt and anything
else they could find, into the midst of
the merry makers on the inside. This
was entirely unlocked for, and for
awhile created quite a panic, and it
looked as if the dance was about to
succumb to the general disorder. Oc-
casionally some of the missile hurlers
would miss their aim and a cry of pain
and anger would be heard from one or
more Of their own party, but as it was
impossible to tell who threw the last
brick first, general fight was avert>
ed. While all this was going on, the
brain of the genial and busy hostess was
not idle. She knew she must devise
some plan by which to escape the fusi-
lade, or else her fond and cherished
hopes would not be realized. At last
she struck an idea, and she immedi-
ately booked" it. She and her
guests would repair to the garrett
There were no windows through which
they could be gently reminded of the
presence of bricks, and there they
could enjoy to their hearts content
the amusements which had been so
carefully prepared. Thither they
went. When the attacking party dis,
covered that the enemy had evacuated
their fortified position, spiked their
guns and left nothing behind, howl
of rage went up from about one hun
dred and fifty threats. and after send
ing parting shower ofmissiles against
the windows and sides of the house,
they silently stole away. The hostess,
always on the alert, noticed the omi
nous silence on the outside, notified
the garrett crowd, relit the lamps be
low, and the dance proceeded to an
early hour this morning.

Unanimous In Their Praise of
the Treatment Received
in Iowa.
From our regular correspondent.

CHICAGO, August g. 1888.
The celebrated Porter Guards, of
Memphis, are back in Chicago, alter
visiting Dubuque and spending joy.
Gus time as the guests OF the military
boys of Cedar Falls, Iowa. The Guards
and their guests are unanimous in
their praise OF the kind Offices PERI
formed for their comfort by the people
OF Iowa whom they had the pleasure
Of meeting. To day the Guards and
their guests will have an opportunity
Of seeing ChiCago's many attractions.
They are all quertered at the palatial
Palmer House, under the
special care of Potter Palmer,
the owner of the hotel. which ranks
amoug the most magnificent hostel
ries in the world. Mr.. Palmer is
never happier than when pointing
out to strangers the wonders OF our
grand young city. Under his guidance.
and the escort of several of his most
courteous lieutenants, the military of
Memphis and their friends will be
plotted over the most attractive ground
and have opened up to their view the
splendors of the great western city OF
enchantment. On the return of Maj.
e. Whitmore, the LEDGER's com
mander in chief, and his estimable
wife, / know his gallantry and enthu.
siasm will cause him to give to the
readers Of his able journal descrip.
tive narrative of his visit north
that will fully demonstrate what
joyous voyage his party had, and
how hearttul of gratitude the
Guards and their guests are
for the warm and hearty welcome
extended them wherever they roamed.
This happy commingling of Northern
and Southern people is the best evil
dence that this glorious country of
ours is thoroughly united once more,
Notwithstanding the mouthings OF
characterless politicians and feather
bed warriors who remained at home
when they had good chance to graft
iy their thirst for gore. This element
existed during the war in the South
as well as in the North. However,
thanks to death, this vindichve and
vensl element is fast dropping into
unhonored oblivion. The war OF the
rebellion was terrible lesson, but the
intelligence Of this glorious country
will profit immensely by it. NAYR.

MINNIE, THE MINK.
The Career Of Minnie Daily, the
Wickedest Girl in Chicago.
Beautiful as a HOurI, but the
Most Expert Thief In
tue City.
Chicago Telegram, rs.

A beautiful form, a lovely face
wherein the lilies and roses blend to
form, with an expression Of angelic
innocence, an intoxicating vision Of
loveliness, such is Minnie DAILY, a
sweet young thing" Of nineteen sum
mers. The mingled graces of form,
feature and expression are such that
one would be willing to stake their
reputation that here at least was a
temple over which all the feminine
virtues hold undisputed sway. But,
alas, for human sagacity, the fact is
that the fair face and luscious form
belongs to one Of the worst women,
and most accomplished piekpockets.
Her particular forte lies in catching
the attention of some gentleman on
the street, and, under pretext of
telling him of some woe that recently
befell her, to pick his pocket
or make off with the diamond in his
shirt front. She has been locked up
in all the principal station houses in
the city for thefts committed ia this
way, and the boldness and skill with
which she operates are common talk
among the detectives. She first be-
came prominent in police circles
about two years ago at the shooting of
Officer Dan Crowley, of the Desplaines
street station. Crowley had her under
arrest, and, with her mother, was on
the way to the station At the corner
Of Clinton and Madison streets the
girls lover, Ed Kelly, interfered, and
in the struggle that ensued shot and
MORALLY wounded Crowley. Kelly
was sentenced to four years in Joliet,
and since that time Minnie DAILY has
been a we'll known character in Chi
cago police annals.
Some time ago she robbed a man
near the Wells street bridge of
fine gold watch and chain. She was
arrested, but the man received a
magnificent timepiece from some
anonymous source, accompanied by
note. and when her case came up it
was dismissed for want Of prosecution.
A few weeks ago she robbed man on
the North side and fed to her old
haunts on the south tide of the river
She was arrested, however, and locked
up at the Chicago avenue station.
Pending hearing Of her case she was
released on bail, and at the time set
for hearing she was wanting. JUS
tice Kersten fined her 500 and added
an old fine OF $40 TO the sum. The
police were instructed to look'for her,
and last evening she was arrested at
No. ll6 Locust street, and locked up
at the Chicago avenue station on the
old execution against her. Some time
after her Incarceration we'll dressed
young man called at the station aud
put up $40 to pay her fines, where.
upon she was released.
