Al, Indians Suicide.

A Piute Indian committed suicide
last Sunday by eating wild parsnip
at the Indian camp near Wellington
station. He was a young man and
a general favorite with the tribe,
but married against the wishes of
his parents, who showed their dis
pleasure by doing all in their
power to make his life miserable.
The Indian was at Mr.. Rogers place
in the morning, and was asked
what he wanted, and replied that
he wanted to die. A short time
afterward his death was reported
from the camp. He was well liked
by the whites in the vicinity and
was considered very bright for an
Indian.-Courier.

The APPEAL hopes to see a good
crowd go down to Powning's real
estate sale in Reno.
Powning has been the first to in
augurate auction sales of town lots
in the State and deserves to be we'll
patronized for his enterprise.
The whole State ough. to be in
terested in this scheme because if
the lots bring high prices it will
call attention 10 the real estate mar
ket of Nevada all over the Coast.
# the sale does not go with vim,
it will advertise Nevada as a dead
State and give us all black eve.
No one will lose anything by in
vesting in town lots in Reno OF any
other growing town in Nevada.
