The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1883-04-07

CORRECTION. In last weeks issue O.
the RECORD we stated that the property
proposed to purchase for school house
by the school trustees had not a good
title, and being aware that no deed had
every passed from Miss Aguayo to Henry
Eilers for this property, when the County
Superintendent of Public Instruction in
formed us that no deed had ever passed
from the several parties who had owned
this property from one to the other and
beliynS at the time the County Superin.
tendent OF Public Instruction was fully
aware OF the facts as he stated to us, and
had the best interests of the public good
in view, We published the facts as given
us, and are sorry to state were totally in
correct in every respect. We had been
misinformed. The vote of the people
OF Phoebe, and by nearly, we may say, a
unanimous vote, decided for the trustee.
to purchase this property for school pur.
poses, but the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, who IS opposed to the meas
ure, is acting like mad boy. By an ex.
animation of the books in the Recorders
office, the several deeds in relation to the
transfer of this property can be seen,
to wit: M Fuller to NJ. II. Lichen-
stein, dated October IL, 1875; book A,
j. 202. NJ H. Lichenstein and wife to
Mrs. Julia Clark, May IL, 1876; book n,
p. 592. Mrs. Julia Clark, who after
wards married James McFadden, trans
iers the property to Mrs. Ellen Drew, the
deed dated April Q, 1877; book o, p. l2S.
James Drew and wife ELLEN Drew to
Dorofelia Aguago. Henry Eilers, who
attained the property from Miss Aguayo,
but receiving no deed for the same, has
sent to that lady for deed, which will
be here shortly. 1t is thus shown that
the title to the property is perfect, not
outstanding statements made to the con.
trary.
The man who so strangely and sud.
denly died while going down Oh the cage
at the Horn Silver mine of Frisco, we
learn was johnson, the man who eloped
with Mrs. Sharp, and who was so un.
mercifully beaten at Bennett's Spring by
the Sharp girls and two men. Mrs.
Sharp says that johnson had his skull
cracked by club in the hands of one of
the men, and that after they left Ben.
nett's Spring they proceeded to Salt Lake,
where johnson was placed in charge of
physician. johnson got much better,
but he was never completely cured, his
mind being somewhat affected at times
and he had running sore on the head.
Mrs. Sharp, after arriving in Utah, mar
RED johnson, yet she had never been
divorced from Sharp. You are able to
do anything out in Utah in the marrying
line.
The BABES IN THE WOODS. Last Fri.
day evening Seph. Willett and Jimmy
Clark left Comet Mining District for
Phoebe. They took Short cut" over
the mountains and got lost, and after
walking over the hills all night they came
stumbling into Phoebe about 3 o'clock
Saturday morning. Little boys should
be careful how they go running over the
hills In the dark. The whole population
of Phoebe turning out every short while
hunting for lost children causes our resi-.
dents much trouble.

White Company will close down in few
days and wait for ore to Accumulate.
