A Celd-blooded Murder.

Robert Scott, well known and very
popular merchant of Paradise Valley,
Humboldt County, was killed on
Christmas Eve while closing his store.
1t is not known positively who fred
the fatal shot, but young man named
Clarence Gray, having mysteriously
disappeared, is suspected, and about
twenty vaqueroes are out securing The
country in search Of him. If they
catch HIM it is altogether likely that
the county will be spared the expense
OF 8 trial. The murder is supposed
to have been committed for robbery.
Gray is about twenty-six years of age,
tall and slim, with sharp features and
a scar on one of his cheeks. He wore,
when last seen, large, white hat with
a black band, and blue overalls. He
is well known in Hawthorne, having
bummed here some time a few weeks
ago, He WAS considered bad charac-
Ter, A reward of $500 is offered for
his capture.

New Process.

The plan OF separating the lead from
the speiss, under The rev process at
the Richmond works, at Eureka, is to
bore the big threc-stoly pots at the
bottom, and draw the molten lead
after the iron is chilled. The plan
works well and is provirs to be a
great saving in labor 70 the company.

nay SEED FROM MASON VALLEY.

Most of the Valley schools are now
having holiday vacation and the
children are making it lively for the
old folks at home.
The schoolhouse at Greenfield has
undergone extensive repairs, and it is
now almost a new building; as 1t has
new roof, ceiling, floor, etc. DR..
Lcavitt is entitled to credit for thus
making comfortable house out of
what has long been one of the shsbbiest
school-houses in tine Valley. 1t was
the pioneer.
Mr.. Bunney, our J. p. and peda-
gogue, met with serious accident
while out hunting on the Gath. He
was crawling up on some wild geese
carrying the gun at full cock. BY
some means it was discharged and,
being overloaded, recoiled with great
violence. 1t not only bruised his
shoulder very badly, but struck him in
the face, one Of the hammers tearing
his nose open, cutting his upper lip
entirely through and breaking his
upper jaw. The broken jswbone was
driven down on the tongue, which was
badly cut. The upper teeth on that
side were also knocked out Mr.. Bun.
ney lay lnsensible for some tlme but
finally recovered sufficiently to make
his way to DR.. Leaviit's bouse, where
he arrived in a dazel condition. He
is doing well now, but will have TO
take few weeks vacation from school
and will have plenty of time to decide
which is the most dangerous end of
the gun.
The bal masque given at Smart's
Hall on Christmas light was largely
| attended and was an entire success.
The maskers, with scarcely an excep.
ton, sustained their characters excel
lenlly, and, as usual with balls ut the
Switch, everything passed off very
pleasantly, although IT is to be
regretted that the music was not all
that could be desired. The following
is partial list of maskers as they are
remembered by your Jenkins:
G. Meisner displayed bis fiue form as
one of Uncle Sans boys.
j, G. Smart in rich costume as an
Italian Count was success, but his
fine dancing revealed his identity.
Mrs ]. G. Smart appeared TO advau-
tage as Folly.
Mrs. Littell, as an Oriental lady.
Mrs. Wilton, AS Queen of Dia-
meHds.
Mis-. Bush, as Spanish girl.
Miss Ida Johnson, as Sunrise, and
Miss Litiell, as Winter, were brilliant
and attractive figures.
Miss Delevan. as Fortune Teller.

The New Years attractions at this popular
place of amusement are the best yet presented
there by Messrs. Barton 81 Logan. The olio Is
very strong. Sarsfeld and Allen in songs and
dances and Tyrolese solos were good, Elsie
Deane vindicated her right to the title of
"Sweet Little Violet" Somers and Walters by
their juggling and banjo solos and bone selec-
lions won many encores, and the Vidocqs
kept the house In ftirore of laughter and
cheers. The operetta of cinderella forms a
fitting sequel to performance of such uniform
excellence. In addition to the foregoing,
Rosina, the talented little male impersonator,
gives a most enjoyable performance, consisting
of motto, topical, and character songs. The
house was crowded last night, standing room
being unobtainable when the curtain went up.
