A late number of the Nashville
World contained the following item,
which illustrates the diversity, if not
uncertainty, OF the judgments men will
render even upon the same facts pre-
scented. IL makes us feel rs if the YER
diets Of juries were mere lUrc,s III
best
Yesterday morning Judge Reid
charged the jury in the Cavcrt Bittiyk
case, and sent them to their room.
About 2:30 p. m. they returned and
announced that they gave judgment tol
$1,000 damages for the plaintiff.
On the first ballot after retiring, th'
vote was much confused, one being il
favor of allowing $4,000, the lul
amount claimed; another only on,
cent, and the others scattered between
the average being SlO,5O0; but tie Il
nal sum agreed upon was that Of TN
verdict. A motion for Il new tlial wil
be entered.

Particulars of the Destruction of
W~atrsw0rth

Particulars n the Destruction of
Wadsw0rth.
The following dispatch gives the psrtio-
ulars Of the disastrous fire at Wadsworth
mentioned in yesterdays SENTINEL:
WADswoRrH, New, April 16.-Wads-
worth is q small town in the center of the
Truckee Division Of the Central Pacific
railroad, about 35 miles east of Reno.
The origin Of the fire, Of which mention
was made yesterday, is not known; but it
is belived to have started under the yard
masters room in the railroad offices at
1890 P. M. The water supply was very
poor, the dependence being entirely on
wells. The fire got under Roadway in 10
minutes and nothing could be done to
save the buildings. The Postofice, Wells,
Fargo d Co.'s, Western Union Telegraph
Office and the Wsdsworth House, all depot
buildings adjoining the @. P. track, were
in flames before the alarm was sounded
from these buildings, but the fire spread
with frightful rapidity across Main street
into the business portion OF the town
sweeping everything in its path. The
wind was blowing a high gaze. The losses,
as near as can be obtained, are as follows:
Edwin Fowler, store and offices, 5000
no insurance; railroad and Western
Union, $1,000; Thomas Carey, Wadsworth
Hotel, Sic, 000-insured; amount not
known; William Nichols, dwelling-house
and personal effects, 3d. 00-no in
surance; Charley Lewis, saloon and
~dwelling-house, So no insurance;
z. Gillespie, store and house and
other real estate, $40, 000-no insurance;
E. Griswold, store loss 49, 000-fully COW
cred by insurance; D. Proctor, butcher
shop, 50, 500-no insurance; Gladding's
Hall, house and cattle corral, 81, 000-no
insurance; George Sawyer, feed stable,
81, 000-no insurance.; T. Dorsey, dwelling
house, 81 ,5O0-no insurance; H. M. john
son, 81, 000-no insurance; Court of JUS
tice, 5000; L. Arnstein, store and real
estate, SIS, 1000 - insured - amount not
known; William Donaldson, Nevada Hotel,
$40, 000-no insurance; John Lee, store,
$13, 000-insurance, $1,000; Mrs. G.. Wat
son. S300-no insurance; school woodshed
and contents, $3.50. The entire loss is
nearly 500, 600. The railroad boys and
citizens are deserving Of the highest
praise for the manner in which
they worked to save property,
and kept the fire from spreading. Even
in our great loss We cannot fail to express
our feelings Of gratitude to those who
worked SO bravely to save the homes of
those who escaped and to help those who
we're in distress. In all probability, the
town will be rebuilt across the Truckee
river, in the vicinity Of the new shops.
Your correspondent has learned of but
two accidents as yet. A machinist, name
unknown, broke a rib and n arm in
jumping from the second floor of the
Wadsworth House. Thomas Brown fell
into a well and broke his left leg above the
ankle. He is getting along as we'll as
could be expected. The town is quiet to-
day. The snow is flying and the homeless
are CHARTERED in the houses Of friends.

CUTTING THE WIRES.
A ssPOtnter'' as to How the Break In
BOdie stock Was Caused.

A ssPOfnter'' as to How the Break I'm
BOdie stock Was Caused.
The Genoa Courier of the 18th has the
following item of interest to operators in
Bodie stock"
j. 7. Longabaugh, general superin-
tendent Of the Nevada Il California Tele-
graph Company, informs us that last
Thursday, some one with malicious inten-
tions, cut the telegraph wire about three
miles this side Of Bodie, and then fixed it
up in such a manner that no one could de-
tect the break, unless they went and exam
ined it closely. The break was not dis
covered until Monday, and then only by
chance. A man who was sent out to find
out what was the matter, happened to
notice that some n on now shoes had
left the road and gone exactly toward one
of the poles and there stopped. On climb
ing the pole he found that the wire had
been cut and then fastened, but in such q
manner that the ends of the wire did not
come together, 80 as to allow the current
to pass through. 1t is thought that the
idea in doing this wa to give the ''bears'
a chance to spread all kinds of reports and
it is also thought that this had a great deal
to do with the recent break in Bodie. So
as 20 stop all such proceedings in the future,
and at the same time try and secure the
arrest and conviction OF the parties, the
compony has offered q reward Of $3.50 for
the guilty person.

Geographic department this morning. 1t
crystallizes in about a half a column the
history OF the United States in its most
important feature for a hundred years. 1t
is plain, clear and truthful. 1t is invul-
nerable in its logic, while the language Of
the text is nearly perfect English. 1t is

and ask himself: els it not true" Til

Constitution" is wholesome reading for
anybody. Other than it the author will

Ex-senator Clapp.

Our venerable old fellow-townsman,
hon. r. s. Clapp, is becoming young in
his old age. He mounted his pony early
n morning and sneaked out Of town. He
went to Salt Lake to call ON Patti. We
sincerely hope he will not lose his senses
and follow that lady around the country,
like Freddy did the Jersey Lily. These
old coons will never do to bet on.--Pioche
Record.
1t is pleasant to hear such news OF the
old gentleman, We remember the faithful
services that Mr.. Clapp rendered in the
State Senate as Chairman OF the Com
mittee on Public Morals. Lincoln county
might yet send many q worse man to the
Legislature than ex-senator Clapp. The
Wilderness OF the old gentleman's locks will
never impair his loyalty to the ladies.
