tragedies in Esmeralda county.
It is impossible to get details,
but the sum and substance OF
the matter is, that seven men
were killed on Friday last IN
the title towns Of Gold Noun
tain and Silver Peak.
THE GOLD MOUNTAIN TRAG-
EDY.
Gold Mountain is a small
stage station about 30 miles
from Candelaria. 1t contains a
store and three houses. On Sat
urday afternoon a stage going
to Candelaria was intercepted
by man who crawled out TN
the read severely wounded and
told the driver that four men
had been killed at the store. He
stated that some men rushed
into the store and began firing
shots. lie was stuck and rem
dered unconscious. When hs
came to himself he found the
store keeper and CLERK dead and
near the door were two strangers
both sho, through the body.
He thinks that after ne fell the
fight was kept up and that the
store keeper and his clerk re-
ceived their wounds and killed
their assailants before dying.
He left the place as soon as pos
sihle and finally became SO weak
from loss Of blood that he was
obliged to crawl ON the ground.
The stage drove to Gold Noun
tain and found the bodies as de-
scribed and there was every
where the evidence OF q fearful
The men were lying
in pools OF blood ali frozen stir
with their weapons alongside Of
them.
ANOTHER HORROR AT SILVkE

The stage went on 70 Silver
Peak, nearly thirty miles away,

The store was rified Of its coz
snts and the safe Quilted.
These three men We're the only
mes living at the station, the

miners in the vicinity. From
he appearance Of the bodies
hey must have lain there sew

ieved that the Silver Peak rob-

sbbers made across tn"
ountry on horseback and
made their second raid. It

FUNERAL OF JOHN d. Ross

A Large Attendance ut the EpIs
c0pal Church.
Yesterday afternoon the fun
eral Of John Ress, the young
man killed by DANES Coombs OF
last Saturday morning, tcok
place from the Episcopal Church,
There was a large congregation
present, the fact of his popular
ity among his professional asso-
ciates combining with the SYM
pathy felt for his tragic death to
bring a large concourse of peo-
pie together. The usual burial
retail Of the Episcopal Church
was read and q male choir
consisting Of James Chesley, Nat
Dow and the Ovens brothers,
rendered sNearer my God Ito
Thee" "Soft|y now the Light of
Day. with good effect with
organ accompaniment By Mrs.
Dorsey. Gus Owens sang "Flee
as Bird to the Mountains Thou
who art Weary of Sin" sup
ported by the quartette. Rev.
Davis closed the service with
the following remarks:
The Church of Christ has
the same prayers, the same
ritual for all who seek its minis
tration. In this house all who
lie at the altar's.level are equal
in the sight of God and His
ministers. When we receive
this mangfed, bleeding clay at
the door Of the sanctuary We
simply recognize a fellow
traveller along the crowded
of life who yesterday
walked abreast of us, and to-
day has reached the goal of |
eternity a little in advance of |
us. The selfrighteous man and
the evil minded man will tell |
you that the dead lived off the |
gains of the gaming table. The
sweet voice Of Charity will tell
you that this is not the place
Or time to cavil at his calling.
The man was respected and be-
owed by his associates, he met
his tragic death with courage
md fortitude, and there is none
among you who had not rather
De here in this coffin than in
re cell Of the one upon whose
read is the blood of his unof-
brother; and when the
ecrets of all hearts shall be
opened and we east the burden
If our sins before the mercy
eat, this man may stand up
lightly with many who counted
themselves more worthy of the
food Masters forgiveness. And
low we leave him in the hands
# Him who doeth all things
veil.
The coffin was decorated with
vreaths and crosses of white
lowers. The following were
he pail bearers: Al. Phillips,
ack Rails, William Clancy,
'harles Thompson, Lawrence

he grave the quartette sang I

ments of the editor Of the Courant, !

facts with regard to the publication OF

court docket would be made out. /
told him it could not be made out off.

the calender, corrected myself aud
said the 26th. friday ten days before
the sitting of the court; at the same
time remarking that it might be made
out day or two before but not with
entire accuracy. On account of uncer-
tainty in making up the issues in sew
eral cases, Thursday was the earliest
date that the docket could be made to
stand substantially as the official dock
et-too late for publication in the Cour-
ant. acknowledge that if the Cour-
ant man expected me to furnish him
copy by making out the docket several
days before it was due, and when it
would have to be made entirely over
again at the lawful date, then am
lacking in courtesy. He is mistaken
about my predecessors making the
docket out ahead Of time for the papers.
They always made it out OIL the tenth
day before the sitting of the court, and
furnished it to the papers for the first
publication day thereafter.

WE think that the least interesting
and most annoying reading to the pub
lie is the personal squabbles of editors,
aired through the columns of their
papers. We have made plain state
ments in relation to political matters
of the past few weeks, and none but
what we can establish by affldavits OF
responsible parties. We shall reso-
lutely refuse to be drawn into q wran-
gle with II. A. Perkins until he comes
within the pale of the law, when we
will meet him outside the columns OF
newspaper. We maket his statement
ment instead Of devoting column OF
two to replying to the misrepresenta-
tions and vituperation Of the Courant,
believing that it will be more agreeable
to the people and relying upon the
reputation which we think We have
honestly established. II the editor Of
the Courdnt thinks that his abuse of
the "Scott family" is the most enter
tanning reading he can give to the
people of Allen county, he is at liberty
to proceed. We are done with the
matter.

10 THE VOTERS OF THE sEYFNTH
JUDICIAL DISTRICT,

JUDICIAL DISTRICT.
Believing that the Office Of Judge 10
and ought to be non-politicai IN every
sense Of the term, and remembering
that In this district You had always, by
your votes expressed the same senti-
ment, announced myself AS an indie
pendent candidate for reelection.
Since then an effort has been made by
prominent members of the two domi-
nant parties to make the election de-
pend upon the issue between them;
and with sufficient success to have
brought to the front two other candi.
dates who depend more or less upon
the members Of their respective parties
for support. Inasmuch therefore as it
seems desirable on the part of many
that the Office shall be made political,
and inasmuch as my official duties
have kept me 80 continually employ
ed during the last two months that 1t
was impossible for me to visit you in
the capacity Of a candidate, / have de-
termined to withdraw from the can
vass. In doing so wish to return my
heartfelt thanks for the former favors
heretofore extended. Democrats, Re
publicans and Greenbackers have
each been very kind to me during for
mer elections, and have given me
hearty encouragement with reference
to the coming one. To all such feel
under special obligations and shall be
glad to express my gratitude in some
appreciable and proper manner. With
these words of explanation / now an
nounce that I am no longer candidate
for reelection.
Very Respectfully Yours,
HI. w. TALCOTT.

THE IUDGESHIP.

The following letter to the Erie Rec
ord of last week, speaks louder ia IA
vor of the Republican candidate for
Judge than anything we could say,
and wequote it entire leaving each one
to make his own comments:
Editor Record IL see by pernsing
the Journal that the editor thereof,
makes sBndry attacks .on our fellow
citizen, J.. Stillwell. He discourses
SCRAPS of bis history and sneers at Mr..
Stliwell's poverty. Well if history is
worth repeating, / too have some to
relate and it may throw little light
on the question. Why is Mr.. Still
we'll poor man? In 1877 a certain
Mrs. Dillon married Peter Gahsngan,
In q few months, as our people well
know they were both drowned. Mrs.
Gahangan, formerly Mrs. Dillon left
six little children by her first husband,
the oldest boy being but six years of
age. Her first husbands property, the
sole dependence Of the orphans was
badly encountered. 1 was appointed
guardian of Thomas Dilion's children.
On investigation 1 found that all the
personal property was insufficient to
satisfy creditors and must be sold. /
found thatStillwell had mortgage for
500 OH part of it, which | afterwards
sold for more than the claim. WAITED
on Mr.. Stillwell to obtain his consent
to the sale.
After told him the condition of the
estate he took the note and mortgage
from the safe and wrote on the hack of
them Satisfied, l.. Stillwell," and
handed them back to me. / read the
same and asked him what it meant.
! always believed that while an hon
est imam was the nOblest work Of God,
an honest lawyer was the rarest. He
said that he meant to give those Or
phans that as they needed it more than
he did. Here to my astOnishmentwas
not only honesty. but unexampled
charity.
/ was amazed. and looked for some
reason: thought L. those children have
not single relative tiist is voter or
person of influence. Not being well
acquainted with Mr.. Stiltweil I made
,ome inquiries to satisfy my curiosity
as to his motive, and sOOn learned
hat this was nut the only case In
which he had acted the partof charity,
Ind think that Yhen we get such .
nan for Judge we need not ask bis pol |
tics. We want him not for his sake |
put for the good Of the people II the
district. DICK BRoqfN. !

THE WORST FIX YET.

After our campaign notes were IN
type, Mr.. Worst comes round and in
forms US that he is off the track.
The notes will apply just as well, but
we feel constrained to leave out a COL
umn or two of reasons why Worst
should be elected. They were mighty
good reasons, too, and it is a great dis
appointment to us to leave them out
perhaps the Worst disappointment we
ever had. AS the matter stands we
have no candidate and you may vote
as you please. We shall summer
our vote on sheriff.

WE do not wish to do our Demo
cratic friends injustice, but IL we may
trust numerous reports from the meet.
ing at Humboldt the other night, Il
was little less than Pandemonium lei
loose. Some Of the most respectable
and prominent Democrats, advertised
to be on hand, evidently anticipating
the character Of the meeting, sent
their regrets. Sentiments that looked
directly 70 the subversion Of law and
order and good government were ap'
plauded to the echo. Are Republicans
q law abiding people, by withholding
their vote, or voting wrong, going to
countenance party that sanctions
such sentiments?

raised by parties who charged that

flee by deputy. Mr.. Ridey specifically
and in terms denies the charge. On
the other hand every body admits that
If Mr.. Hayward is ELECTED be will

this wrath turned loose on Mr.. Risley?
Oh, it is said, Hayward n not compe-

pected to employ a deputy. But does
that help the case? We think not.
