KILLING OF JENkS.-Charley jerks, |
tho insane man who has been running |
,,;lJ for several weeks down at Pahrana- |
cat Valley, was killed on the 9th ult.
bv A number OF the settlers in that valley.
We were unable to get any particulars
A. TO the killing OF the insane man. IL.
Sharp. who was in town on Tuesday from
tbe valley. when he first arrived. APP
reared to know hardly anything about
The killing. although he was in charge of
the men seeking to take the life of jerks.
During the day old Sharp, as usual, got
prettv well "ginhed up" and began to
talk little. He claimed the honor (?) Of
killing jerks. and talked of some trash
which was lie from beginning to end.
Sharp says other persons in the valley
claim the glory Of killing jerks. Sharp
said nothing about endeavoring to cap
ture jerks. We do not suppose a trial
to capture him was ever made. The
next Grand Jury ought to inve ,tigate
.his matter. There are many more dan
esrous men running loose in Pahranagat
Valley than jerks was.
CUTTING AFfRAY. At Bullionyille,
the wickedest town in Lincoln county,
cutting ARRAY occurred on Thursday
evening. 1t appears to have been a
drunken row, and the principals, J. w.
Butler, and Jensen. who had been on
the quarrel with one another for a couple
OF days, finally came together on the
evening stated, and during the melee
Bitler cut Jensen in the muscle OF the
arm with knife. After the trouble
Butler started off, but an officer at Bull
Iionville went after him, and capturing
Butler about mile on the other side Of
Panaca brought him back. The wound
10 Jensen's arm Is deep and quite serious,
and may probably forever destroy the
use of the arm. Jensen was brought to
Phoebe the same evening and placed
under the charge OF DIR. Mathews.
LEXINGTON DIsTRIcT.-Mining matters
in this old district, located in the south
east corner Of White Pine county, are
beginning to mend. The turn OF the tide
appears to have struck that place. Several
men have been placed at work On the
gold ledge, on which shaft fifty feet in
depth has been sunk, and the ore assays
from go to so, there being large guam
titles Of it, and no dead work required In
extracting it. There were a couple Of
men from Cincinnati there the other day
day looking at the property, and they
decided to erect gold mill at once. The
district is well supplied with water.
MARX JARVIS, who has been very sick
for long time, died at about O'Clock
on last Sunday evening, from heart dis
ease. Jarvis had been resident OF
Phoebe for about twelve years, was in the
81 year Of his age, and was a native OF
England. He was sober, industriou,
and upright man and respected by all
who knew him. He has a wealthy
brother residing in New York, but upon
application to him for assistance, the
aid was refused.
THERE were about thirty persons who
visited Panaca on the Fourth. Most Of
them first went to Condor Canyon, where
they ate lunch, after which they pro
ceeded on to Panaca, all putting up al
Mts. Wedges Hotel. On this occasion
ali elegant dinner was served to thu
guests during the afternoon. The table
was covered with delicious green veg
etables, which was served up to tn
green Piochers.
