a Dispute I'm % Poker Game he'
suits In an Aitem pit TO Murder.

The Esmeralda News give, the fol-
lowing account of an affair among
gamblers at Hawthorne: Quite a
rumpus occurred in the card-room OF
the Barnum saloon last Wednesday
morning, the particulars OF which, as
a as can be a~scertained, are as fol-
lows: Aleck Van, a man known as
Dutchy and an Italian who has been
at work chopping wood for Pesci x
Co. were indulging in a little game OF
{" stud" Some $40 OF $50 was in the
pot when the fifth card was dealt.
The Italian had a pair of Fights in
sight, and thinking to make his hand
stronger grabbed an eight that was in
Alexis hand, thus making him three
Fights. Without further ado he began
to rake in the pot, which was objected
to by Dutchy, who could beat the
Italians hand before he stole the
eight. A few words passed between
the two men, whenthe Italian pulled
a pistol from his pocket, pointed it at
Dutehy's head and pulled the trigger
twice, but luckily the cartridge failed
to explode. Dutchy was not armed,
and therefore ran out OF the room,
down the street, procured a gun, re-
turned to the saloon, but was unable
to find the Italian, he having skipped
out the back door and gone TO his
lodgings. About an hour aiterward
the two men met again, when the
Italian gave up the greater portion Of
the money he had won with the aid
Of his pistol. No arrests.

s. L. Tribune: There was to be no rae.
ing between the "Umbria" and the
"City of New York" and yet somehow
they ran neck and neck across the pond.
The Umbria" pulled out two hours in
advance OF her new rival, and when she
reported on the ether side the other ship
was sighted low down on the horizon.
Their actual sailing time could not have
been an hour in favor Of either ship.
which shows that all hands ON both ships
were on the alert, and that no trick was
lost by either. But is it not wonderful
that two such monsters can be put under
such training by human minds and hands!

In his speech in relation to the timber
depredations In Nevada, made in the SEN
ate on the 22d ult., Senator Stewart used
the following pertinent and forcible Lam
guage: 81 submit that there are not ten
men in Nevada who would not feel out
ragged by this prosecution, and if any
man has written here for the purpose OF
advocating il. it is because he is either an
enemy Of mankind or expects to be en-
ployed as a lawyer or q spy to prosecute
these people," This language has the
universal endorsement Of our people.

SENATOR STEWART RAMPANT
He Replies 10 serious Charges.

He Replies TO Serious Charges.
Senator Stewart some time ago offered
an amendment to the Sundry Civil Appro.
priation bill to the effect that no part Of
the money appropriated by the actshould
be used in the prosecution of any person
for cutting, for mining or domestic pur-
poses, dwarfed or scrubby timber, unfit
to be sawed or hewed for commercial
purposes. A special dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle dated Washington
Aug. 81 says:
Yesterday al attack was made upon
Senator Stewart in the New York Her.
aid on the authority of Mr.. Stockslager,
the Commissioner Of the General Land
Office. in which it was represented that
Senator Stewards amendment was in
the interest Of foreign corporations, tim.
Der thieves and rascals generally, and
that Senator Stewart offered it for the
purpose of enabling criminals to escape
just punishment, and for the purpose Of
supersediDg prosecutions against the rich
corporations OF Eureka, New, known az
the Richmond and Eureka Consolidated
Mining Companies, who it is alleged rob.
bed the Government of many millions.
Senator Stewart had these articles in the
Herald read at the clerks desk in the
Senate to-day, and denounced them as
false in every particular.
"Senator Stewart also had read ex-
tracts from three Of the leading Demo.
cratic newspapers Of the State, viz: The
Silver State the Elko Independent and
the Eureka SENTINEL. These journals
commented with the greatest severity
upon the persecution Of the people Of
Nevada in dragging miners hundreds Of
miles from their homes and subjecting
them to all the expenses Of yexatious pro
seeutions. Senator Stewart also had a
letter read from George w. Cassidy, the
present Democratic nominee for Congress
in Nevada and Bank Commissioner under
the present administration, and who has
served two terms in Congress as Rep
r~esentative Of Nevada, and who resides
at Eureka. and is thoroughly familiar
with all the facts and circumstances on
nected with the whole subject. This
letter fully indorced the amendment OF
Senator Stewart, condemned unreserv.
eddy the attempt Of special agents TO
drive the department, and contended
that the law as il exists fully authorized
the cutting OF this timber"

alton made by Senator Stewart yester-
day. II the Senator will examine the
interview referred to by him and my let
ter to Burns be will find that no retiee-
tion was cast upon him in either one oil
them. Senator Stewards name is not
mentioned by me except incidentally,
the same as any other members. The
Senator Is pleased to charge, however,

it might not be amiss to say that II he
will recall the fact he will remember
that two gentlemen representing some o.
these corporations called at the Land OF

short time ago. These offered to pay
large sum to compromise trespass az com

recollect that | refused to do so, upon the

writes that he WAS the author of all the scurril-

statement. While he was engaged in annoying
the families he employed boy named Burkett
