.RATTLEkE KE DICK
KILLED:

Removal OF . Noted Desperate.
Yesterday the news was received
that Richard Darling. alias Rattle
snake Dick" had been killed in
Hawthorne by James Fresh. Dick
was we'll known in this section and
the verdict was general that it was
not a particularly frigid day for
the State when he expired. The
Chronicle Of last night has the fol
lowing account:
Richard Darling, alias "Ratt e.
snake Dick" was shot and killed
at Hawthorne at half past s o'clock
this morning Ivy man named
Jimmy Fresh. Dick and Fresh had
q row in a dance-house last night
over a blonde" The dispute re-
shifted in "Rattlespake" threatening
to shoot Fresh. The men then
separated, Fresh went out and got
drunk, and this morning entered u
saloon at Haw horne and WAS boast
ing of what he w"uld 40 to BIS adj
versary should they again meet. At
that instant "Ratilesnake" entered
the saloon, when Fresh exclaimed.
lyon - -, yon threatened
to shoot me last n ght take thatF'
and drawing his revolver shot tue
other vice in the head. Dick fell
to the door aad died instantly.
Fresh was arrested and lodged in
Jail. Withor. passing judgement
npon the method of R.tslesnahe
Dicks removal" the people of
Nevada generally will pot go into
mourning for his loss. Fresh. the
man who did the taking Off OF
the Rattlespake, has been working
as brakeman an the G. j. 9. road:
The man has been severa. years
in the State Prison, and in 1889
murdered fellow prisoner named
Chamberlain by beating him with a
pick handle. He called himself
"Rattlesnske Dick" and he very
much resembled the reptile afore,
said.

Indians ~ Poker.

When a crowd of Indians are en-
gagged in q game Of draw poker
nothing on earth ever disturbs him.
Day before yesterday when row
started and a sqnaw was knocked
senseless with rock she lay down
alonside the game, bleeding pr.
fusely, and not the slightest ntten
ton was paid to the matter. There
was not over three dollrrs in the
crowd of six players, yet they went
right ahead wrestling for the money
as if their Fall watermelon crop
was involved. We firmly believe
that if . hostile tribe were to attack
crowd of Washoe Indians ut a
poker game they would all be shot
down where they sat before they
attempted q defense, and every last
one would wing his way to ever
lasting glory with full hand OF
something.

Yesterday afternoon Herald re-
porter called at the county Jail and
asked to see Robbins. He came
without hesitation. The reporter
recognized him IS man he had
met in Carson, Nevada. in the Win
ter Of 1881 during session Of the

was a chance to the United Sta'es

brought Robbins in bis train az an
adviser and manipulation. Sutro's
advent scared Uncle Jimmy into
spending a few thousand dollars.
but Mr.. Robbins manipulations
were nos successful. His principal
didn't get single vote for the Sen
atorship.
Robbins is tall, rather portly
and fine-looking. well-preserved
man of about 60 years Of age. His
gray hair is cropped close, but his
white beard flows down over his
broad chest. He was dressed re-
specially in . drab business suit.
Robbins manner was timid and
nervous. He sat down uneasi'y
and picked at his finger-nails as he
spoke. Notwithstanding his size
and really imposing appearance he
is a MN of weak character and not
remarkable intelligence. His
small gray eyes shifted constantly
while he conversed with the repor-
ter. He smiled osely while talk

The fact that the South is being reused
up to appreciate the value of their timber
lands is certainly very encouraging. The
lumber interests of the United States, and
in fact of the whole world" saws the
Southern Lumberman. ''have assumed
such important proportions that it is due
to the people that our State governments
should establish series of surveys and
investigations, with view of determining
the exact amount of their forest wealth.
and that in time the general government.
through its proper department, should
publish in statistical form the result of
each States timber resources. While
this authentic report would be of great
value to commerce, the presence of the
bOtanists and their assistants in every por-
ton of the States and Territories would
arouse the people to sense of the wealth
contained in their forest possessions, and
would perhaps stimulate them to more
economical use of the timber. and make
them more careful about preserving it; at
any rate, the timber, its extent. variety
and value, should be made known at as
early a date as possible"
