An Old Murder Case.

LoNdvIEw, June S.-lSpecial.l-T The
preliminary trial OF Augustus shaw, for
the murder of Bill Hampton, on Sep
tember %, 1876, in Gladewater, was
called to-day and Shaw was admitted to
81, COO bail to appear at the July term Of
tho District Court at this place: As the
particulars OF the killing have passed
out OF tho mind of the public, AZ account
might be interesting. l. appears Shaw
owed Hampton some money after a set
tlement, provided Hampton finished u
certain job of work, amounting to about
$5 in all; but Hampton didn't finish the
work, and Shaw, being Il very timid
man and afraid OF Hampton, got VIM
Thompson to settle with Hampton,
and Thompson decided in favor
OF Shaw. But Hampton, relying upon
ShsW's timidity, tried TO force him to
settle, by thrests of Whipping him,
and some say threats to kill him. Shaw
abseuted himself from the streets some
time, but finally put on his oyercoat
UiCh his pistol in the pocket
and yentured down town, where
upon Hampton asked for g settle
ment and took Shaw by the coat SHAY
drew his pistol and fired, fatally wound
ing Hampton, who started to run, Shaw
firing wildly after him, shooting a ne
gro ia the nip aud Knocking splinters
over bystander, who barely escaped a
shot that must have killed him but for
the timely removal of his body. Public
opinion iavors Shaw, who is described
as q most inoffensive man, but friends
OF Hampton say the trial will go much
harder ageinst him when all the evil
dence is taken. They openly denounce
the allowing him bail.

j. F. Tipplett, Inspector for the Nevada
Cattle Association, returned to Reno last
Saturday from the cattle range Of Kirman
& Hickey in Antelope Valley, where he
went to examine the disease which has
recently proved 30 fatal among their
heards. Mr.. T. says the disease bears no
similarity to pleuro.pneumonia; that some
cattle in apparent good health would drop
dead while chewing their cud. The
strange fatality has now almost disap-
peared, there having been but one new
case in the last 18 OF 40 days. He is also
of 'the opinion that the disease is not
contagious, for q lot Of the infected stock
driven to the mountains among other
cattle. did not impart the sickness in a
single instance. AS q precaution against
any possibility of spreading the disorder
in the State, no STOCK of any kind from
that part Of the country will be at the
State Fair. Mr.. Triplett left Sunday
morning for Winnemucca TO make a full
report Of his observation to the Executive
Committee of the Association.

Russian SuperstitIons.

Two curious cases Of superstition are re-

I'm was seen floating in the Dniester. 1t
was brought ashore and found to contain
the corpse of q man whose feet had boen
cut off. A peasant explained the case as
follows: His uncle having died some
time previously, several peasants claimed
to have seen his ghost walking about. and
an old woman predicted that there would
be no rain while the corpse remained in the
cemetery. SO it was dug up. the feet cut of
to prevent the ghost from walking about,
