School Election.

A school election will be held to-day
at the school house for the purpose oil
eleeting board Of trustees, as required
by the new law. Everybody seems to
be satisfied with the present board, and
this being the case the gentlemen will
no doubt be elected again. There is
nothing in the Office OF school trastee,
and as these gentlemen went to some
trouble last Fall to secure their positions
1t would hardly seem just to elect snothr
board. AgaIa it is doubtful if the new
law is constitutional. The following
is the ticket that everybody should vote.
For term OF three years,
JAMES SCOTT.

Malicious Mischief.

Last Tuesday night some person with
little sense and a desire to show his
mean and contemplate disposition, up
set two OF Chaley Gruber's finest hives
OF bees at his lot on Shady Avenue.
This is small, mean way to try and
get even if you have a grudge against
a man, and the party if caught should
be strictly dealt with. Mr.. Gruber is
willing to pay reward Of $40 for in
formation that will lead to the arrest
and conviction of the party or parties.

Gertie, the three. year.old daughter
of H. F. Swasey, of Wabuska, was
thrown from hay wagon last week

of the vehicle passed over her chest,

next is from dlsinterested third parties.
Wiley, the overland stage driver, came
into Carson that night and said that he
met Sam about half way between that
place and Genoa chasing lot of Wash
oe Indians. He did not seem to want
to hurt them but only to frighlen them.
He arrived at Vansickle's just before
dark and rode up to the water trough
at the corner of the house and not more
than ten feet from the door of the bar
room. Van came to the door and very
politely-everybody was polite to Sam
invited him to dismount and come in.
No, said Sam, you d. - | have
come to kill you, and went for his pis-
toll. Van did not stand on the order Of
going, but went at once for his shot
gun which he always kept loaded for
just such an emergency. Sam followed
him to the dining room door where he
saw some eight or ten Of Vans cow
boys eating supper. Sam took in the
situation at glance and knew that it
was not a good time to kill his twelfth
man, and was on his mare and away
like a well.trained pony rider. Van
was now fully awakened TO the fact
that something had to be done, and that
it must not be put of. Gathering his
cowboys and few outside volunteers
and mounting them, he started on the
trail. 1t was now dark, and as soon as
they caught glimpse of the grey mare
they opened fire but did no damage ex-
cept slightly wounding the mare. Sam
turned off the road and stopped at
Motifs ranch, nightly thinking his pur.
suers would 60 on to Lutte Olds. Mott,
however, knowing his customer refused
to keep him or even open the door, and
Sam was obliged 10 60 on to Olds' place
and rely on his proves and former good
luck. For once luck was against him.
Vans party reached Odds Station and
learning that Sam had not arrived Sc
creted themselves advantageously and
waited. They had not long to wait be-
fore the game arrived. Sam rode up
very cautiously and accommodated the
premises, when Van stepped from be-
hind the barn door and literally filled
his breast with buckshot. That was
the last of one of the most noted des-
perados OF modern times. His last
words were, "Van, you -, you've
got me-" The next day the remains
were brought 10 Genoa and an inquest
was held the result of which was that
"Sam Browns body had been filled
with lead by Henry Vansickle, and that
it served him right"
A few words about Sans antecedents
and am done. The next day after the
killing the writer was talking with J.
Nicely Johnson at the Frisbie House in
Carson City. Johnson knew Sam in
California, and knew his parents in
Ohio. His father was a respectable
country tavern keeper in the State Of
Ohio. Sam had served a term of two
years and half in San Quentin for
killing his first man, and his time was
out while Johnson was Governor, and
he (Johnson) wrote to Sans father to
know what he should do with him at
the expiration of his term. The old
gentleman replied that he should give
him a ticket for home with money for
expenses. The Governor told Sam that
he was ready to do as his father request
ed; but Sam would have none of it.
He had gone 100 far and liked the
country too well to return to Ohio.

G0rdOn's Fate Uncertain.

teleerapts again tr-day from Korti
TO the government that no reliable
particulars about the fate of General
GordoA has yet been received. He
assured the ministry that the press
reports have teen based on rumors,
and states that these rumors were
collected by Col. Wilson'S party
upon their return down the Nile
from their futile attempt to reach
Khartoum. In addition TO these
statements Lord Wolseley informs
the government that Mudlr Dongola
and all natives thereabou's persist in
the belief that kharroum has hot yet
fallen. Col. Wiiso,, however, pos
lively states there is no doubt on this
point. Lo,d Wois+lry himself hnpes
to receive in a few days specific and
reliable Information concerning the
situation at Khartoum and the late
of Gordon from trusty spies, whom
he dispatched up the Nile for the pur.

GENERAL SWAIN.

When General Swain gets through
his second court martial he will be a
pretty we'll tried man. He Is now
arralgned upon charges preferred
against him ty Lieut.. Coloner Batch
elor. depot quartermaster, stationed
in Washington. These new charges
were preferred against General
Swain a month ago, but were not
made public at that time to avoid
prejudicing the case then on trial.
General Swain was privately noti-
fled that he would be tried on these
charges, but the members of the court
were not informed that such had
been preferred until they had
concluded the case on trial. The new
charges are brought under the Goth
and 9th articles of war, and allege
fraud and conduct unbecOming an
officer and gentleman. The specifi-
cations upon which the charges are
based set forth that General Swain
who is entitled to forage for three
horses, providing that he actually
owns and keeps such horses, did
draw such forage f,r several months
upon the sworn certificates by him
that he owned and kept three horses
when he neither owned ard kept
them, and actually sold the forage
thus drawn to other persona. The
findings of the court Is to the charges
upon which General Swain has Just
been tried will not be made public
until the findings OF this new charge
have been made and reviewed. It
will probably tall to the lot of Mr..
Cleveland to review them.
