Demise Of the "DemOcrat."

The last number OF the Austin
Democrat reached this office Wed.
nesdsy, says the Carson Appeal. The
vaIedictory states that the publisher
is satisfied that there is not sufficient
room for two papers in Austin. 1t
would have been money in the pub
lisher's pocket If he had ascertained
that fact about a year ago. A man
can make no greater mistake than
attempting to nil a field already &C
cupied. The Democrat was a good
paper and its real sphere of useful
ness was in town which needed a
newspaper and had none. Austin
had one newspaper and had 20 ress
on Ia want another. No experienced
journalist would think of starting
found, however, who have a wild
itching 10 start a newspaper aud will
never rest contented until they have
sunk few thousand dollars running
opposition to some paper already
we'll established. The failure of the
Democrat, however, will not serve as
guide to somebody else who thinks
Austin can support two papers. In
less than six months meoue will
Jump into Austin with few pounds
Of type and a Washington hand press

that heaven has specially qualified

Cutting AT ay.

At Bullionville, the wickedest town
in Lincoln county, cutting ARRAY
occurred OF last Thursday evening.
It appears to have been a drunken
row, and the principals, J. w. But
Ter, and Jensen, who had been on the
quarrel with one another for couple
of days, finally came together on the
evening stated, aud during the melee
Butler cuJJensen in the muscle of the
arm with n knife. After the trouble
Butler started off, but an officer at
Bullionville went after him, and cap
turing Butler about a mile on the
other side of Psnscs brought MIN
back. The wound in Jensen's arm
is deep and quite serious, and may
probably forever destroy the use of
the arm. Jensen was brought to Pr
oche the same evening and placed
under the charge of DR.. Mathews.

likely to take very sharp look at any tariff
