HER BROTHERS CRIME.

INSly Liintl Al thO ioe,iOu VI SdfUOu,
Wyoming Territory, is searching for
John Lockett, who is wandering, insane,
in the mountains, after shooting his sis
ter dead. 1t was supposed at first that
the shooting was accidental, but Lock-
ett's rawlings indicate other and more ter
rible details.
Jennie Lockett was the most beautiful,
and at one time the only respectable
young girl in camp. She was is years
old She and her brother and father
lived in neat cabin near the school
house. The other night the father did
not come home for supper and the two
young people were alone at the table. A
passing neighbor heard sounds of quar-
reling. A shot followed. The door was
burst open and the most beautiful girl in
Carbon lay writing on the floor, point
ing to her brother and striving with an
guished earnestness to articulate.
When she was raised up it was discov-
cred that she was shot through the neck.
Her tongue had been cut off at the roots
and all hope of her being able to shed
any light on the mystery of her taking
off were blighted.
In the meantime her brother John had
rushed from the room insane, with fear
and rage. Searching parties were hpr-
riedly organized and lynching was talked
of. Better judgment prevailed, how
ever, and many now incline to the belief
that the shooting was purely accidental.
A FEW of the Pahranagat ladies have.
ing had their suspicious aroused, now on
their husbands visiting town they accom-
pany them, for the purpose of cheering(?)
them on the way, and learning where all
the money goes to. The Pahranagat
women have become tired of having "the
old man" coming to Phoebe loaded with
produce and then returning to the valley
with empty wagons and no money, and
listening to the same old tale, "that they
must have lost the money ON the way
home" The women are determined to
find the spot where so much money has
been lost.
White Pine News: w. J. Townshend,
agent of the Utah, Nevada and Califor-
MIA Stage Company, gave us friendly
call Wednesday. The company has dis.
posed of the line between here and Ely
to Mr.. Stinson. Mr.. Townshend in.
formed us that four-horse coaches and
good stock will be run on the Eureka
and Phoebe line this spring and summer.
Taylor will be taken in on the main line
and Ward will get the "go.by."
The Governor and Lieutenant.G Governor
are at outs. Governor Adams left Lieut.
Gov. Laughton in Carson to sign severa
bills which he wished to become law
! and not wishing to incur the enmity thai
the signing of these laws would brin&
upon him, he departed in hurry for Sar
Francisco and left the Lieutenant Gov
ernor to perform the task, which he de
| clined to do; hence the arrangement.

WHILE taking walk, recently, Mrs
Godbe wandered up the wash near Bull
lionville, and in some way managed t.
\" lose herself" After an absence from
town of several hours search was insti
tuted and the Indians found the old lad,
sitting on a rock in the wash.
GRASS is showing up plentiful both oil

horses in town are turned out to graz
