A BLOODY
Four Men Killed Mt Shenandoah,

CHICAGO, Aug. l3.-There was q ian.
culinary conflict late last night at She
nandoah, Iowa, in which three men were
killed outright and several wounded, one
of whom will die. Frank Gallup, q
member Of rather a tough family, began
beating his aged father and a crowd
gathered, when young Gallup fired into

an advance to the house into which
young Gallup had retreated. The young
desperate soon appeared with two re.
~volvers and opened a fusilade with
deadly effect. The first man to fall was
David Campbell, who was shot through
the head fatally wounded. The next
victim was t. o. Rice shot through the
heart and died instantly. F. Frey was
the last man to drop with a bullet
through his leg. In the meantime old
man Gallup was shot through the shoul'
der, but it is not known by whom.
Young Gallup returned to the house and
began making preparations to escape,
when Morrey Fletcher fired q shot from
a rifle, which it was subsequently sscer.
tanned went though the desperado's two
arms and body killing him instantly.
This latter fact was not known to the
crowd until Gsllup's wife cried out to
the crowd to stop firing that her hus-
band was dead. The citizens fearing
treachery called her out and giving her

murderer's body was dragged through
the streets until it was ~fearfully multi

The Nevada state Fair.

The Elko Independent says: The
citizens Of Elko county should not let
political matters absorb their attention
to such an extent as to exclude all in.
terest in the annual exhibition Of the Ne.
vada State Agricultural Society, which
will be held at Reno commencing on the
18th Of September. Every citizen OF the
State has an interest in the success Of
the enterprise. OF it Is conceded that q
friendly rivalry In exhibititg the various
products of the State stimulates the
producer to further efforts in developing
the resorcese Of the various industries,
and thereby enlarging and extending the
resources of every branch Of business
prosecuted by the enterprising people Of
Nevada. Elko' county stands in the
front rank as regards wealth. enterprise
and prosperity. and our people should
take q general. as well as an individual,
pride in making such an exhibition at
the coming Fair as well reflect credit
upon tho county and her citizens, and for
this purpose we counsel them to begin at
once to prepare fora creditable exhibi.
tion at the State Fair OF 1888.

The San Francisco News Letter says:
"Prove all things and hold fast to that
which is true" will be a very difficult
practice to follow during the next two or
three months, but IL is one that will be
very necessary to the average citizen who
would not be fooled out OF his vote and
obfuscated out OF his wits. The present
campaign has so far been happily free
from personal recriminations, but what
IL lacks in that respect il bids fair TO
make up in the Justification Of every fact,
figure and truth under the sun. The city
dailies give up space enough in all con-
science 10 what purports to be a discussion
Of the issues, but TO what in truth and in
fact is . studied, determined and wicked
attempt to obscure everything that is
plain, deny all that I. true, unsettle that
which is settled, render that which is
doubtful more uncertain still, and gene.
rally to bedevil all things. OF course
there is nothing In the issues themselves
which necessarily calls for the labored
discussions and falsiications that are now
taking place. There is not a daily in the
city but knows that the doctrine of free
trade is no more involved in anything
which either political party proposes to
do than is the authenticity Of the book
Of Mormon. Furthermore, they know
that it cannot be involved in any tariff
that the people Of the United States will
have il in their power to adopt for many
long years to come. With q huge debt
that the country is determined upon pay
ing of, an army of pensioners that both
parties are pledged to provide for, a new
navy to build, public works and build
ings to construct, and generally a costly
government to provide for, it will not be
possible for any responsible political party
to adopt a tariff in any sense approaching
free trade during the lifetime Of the pres
emit adult generation. All pretenses that
a revenue tariff will deprive any substan-
tial interest Of protection which it ought
to rave are the veriest howlings Of par.
tissnship run wild. The people who make
them do not believe them. There is in
initely more danger to the industries Of
the country in the surplus locked up in
the treasury than there is in any scaling
down Of the tariff that will be possible in
our day. To the mind that loves the
truth for its own sake, there is something
absolutely sickening in the mental and
moral dishonesty with which the politics
of the day are being discussed. The
question of free trade va. protection is
absolutely irrelevant to anything that Ii
taking place or can take place to-day or
in the neal future. 1t is a condition 1.-THE

DISTINCTION AT A BOUND.

OF all the distinction achieved by poll.
ticians and public men on the Coast, non
have lesped at . single bound into such
glittering prominence as Mike H. De
Young Of the San Francisco Chronicle.
He has gone to the very front rank Of his
party in the brief period Of three months.
Going to the Chicago Convention as the
modest and unpretending editor Of .
great journal, he so impressed his strong
personality on the judgment Of the wise
men OF the East that he came back as the
acknowledged leader Of mis- party on this
Coast. In the party councils at Chicago
he was . conspicuous figure. and although
his advice was not always needed, as in
the case Of the nomination Of General
Harrison, whom he declared could not
carry q single one Of the Pacific States on
account Of his ro-Chinese record, still
he was felt to tower head and shoulders
above any other person in the California
delegation, and the convention with great
magnanimity made him . member Of the
Republican National Committee for Cal
i~fornis. More than this, he was placed
at.the head Of the Special Executive Com.
mittee for the Pacific Coast, and the
whole management Of the campaign eight.
ing in these far western States given to
his care and discretion. In short, he is
to-day the Napoleon of the Republican
army on the western boarder Of the Re.
public. That he will manage the battle
as we'll and as successfully as any Of the
old political hacks who have hitherto
commanded, hardly admits Of q doubt.
He is full Of energy and few will doubt
his capacity. Generals are born not
made. Mr.. De Young is said to be ma.
turing one Of the most brilliant cam.
paigns ever devised on this coast. The
politicians and press. it is believed, will
fall in with great zeal and enthusiasts,
and when he gives the order TO march the
heel-and.toe contest that will ensue will
form one Of the most sublime spectacles
that has ever been witnessed in this coun-
try since the landing Of the Pilgrim Fs.
thers-"or any other man" Nevada
is included in Mr.. De Young's diocese.
Our Nevada Republican politicians must,
therefore, go down to the new leader for
instructions before they begin hostilities.
And when it is all over and the battle
won. q correspondent Of the Examiner
informs us that Mr.. De Young is TO go
into President Harrison's Cabinet as
Postmaster General. This is an induce.
ment for everybody on this Coast to vote
the Republican ticket. Local pride is .
big factor in every election. The assur.
ance of q Cabinet position to this Coast
ought to make things nearly unanimous
for Harrison out this way. And besides,
Mr.. De Young would settle the question
Of the surplus in the Treasury by giving
every settler west Of the Rocky Noun.
tains a mail and a ~postofice at his door.
We don't want to PREJUDICE his chances
by q too pronounced Democratic support,
but we are for the newest Napoleon OF
Pacific Coast policies, IL no can "get
there, all the same"

COUNTY EXHIBITS.

The Reno Journal renews the sugges-
tion of the great desirability Of having a
proper display by the various counties at
the State Fair. Nevada at the present
time is commanding a fair share of the
attention Of homeseekers, and were her
resources properly displayed and sdver.
tised, the tourist passing through our
State would be tempted to remain awhile
and investigate. One Of the best medi-
ums for thus advertising is the State
Fair, as the exhibits there displayed will
be accepted as indicative of what our
State is capable of producing. Every
county should proceed at once to BUSH
ness, and by organizing committees and
enlisting enterprising citizens a display
can be made which would astonish all not
conversant with the resources Of this re.
markable, but much maligned State.
Nevada is looked upon by many as q
barren and sterile region, where mining
is the only occupation Of the people and
the plowshare and threshing machine
objects of curiosity. The opportunities
presented to the farmer, breeder, mer.
chant, manufacturer and artisan by the
State Fair to refute all such damaging
statements, should be recognized and
embraced with avidity.
In California the interest manifested
in the system of county exhibits has de-
monstrated the necessity and usefulness
Of properly massing the products of locali-
ties, that their variety and qualities might
be examined, and the same conclusion
will be arrived at here if the people Of
the various counties but do their duty.
Nevada is large enough, great enough
and rich enough in resources to make q
display of magnificent proportions; and
one, too, that will prove that the boasts
made by her citizens are not idle vapor.

STRANGE ovERsrsHrs.

Making a last will may be regarded as
one Of the most important acts Of q mans
life, and yet it is a matter which seems
10 disclose some Of the most remarkable
instances Of carelessness or oversight.
The case Of the late Lord Chancellor st.
Leonards is . striking one. He had writ
ten and lectured much or the Importance
Of giving such care to the preparation
and preservation Of Wills as to render
litigation impossible. Yet after his death
the will which il was known he had left
could nowhere be found, and the courts
had to determine whether its contents
could be proved by the evidence Of his
daughter, who declared her ability to
repeat it from memory. Another strik'
ing case is that Of Mr.. Tilden. Though
an able lawyer himself, and doubtless
advised by first class counsel, his will
was drawn in such q manner a. almost
to invite a contest. The latest instance
Of this strange oversight is disclosed by
the death of Mr.. CORTLAND Palmer. He
was regarded as a careful and methodical
man, yet he left two wills and two codi'
ellis that cannot be reconciled, and which
one must stand is a problem for the Sur
rogate to solve. Had this fact occurred
to the testator during his life the diff
Guilty would doubtless have been at once
removed. 1t is satisfactory to note, how
ever, that the function Of the Court will
be simply to determine the testator's in
tent, and hence that it is not likely to b.
another case Of unseemly wrsngle and
scandalous contest.

O MUCH IN 1T.

The story telegraphed from Washing.
ton that the Richmond and Eureka Con.
solidated Mining Companies are to be
sued for ten million dollars for cutting
Government timber is no~nsensical in the
extreme. There is no ground for any
such suit. II anybody at Washington
imagines there is any Democratic politics
in this sort of thing they are to be pit
led for their stupidity. We incline to
believe that the Department has been
misled from this end of the line. The
Agent who came here lanother importa.
tion from Iowa) knew nothing about the
condition Of Government timber nor any.
thing else in Nevada. He seems not
even to have had q decent conception
OF the provisions OF the law under which
he was supposed to be acting. The cut.
ting of timber for mining and domestic
purposes is especially permitted by the
statute in the mining regions. The cut
ting OF timber and the conversion of II
into charcoal with which to smelt the
minerals out of the ores is as much q use
for thinning purposes" within the
spirit Of the Act, as is the appropriation
by the miner of sticks to cook his pork
and beans a use for domestic purposes"
One is as much q violation of the law as
the other. both being especially allow.
able under the law. This has always
been the doctrine held by everybody in
the mines for twenty-five years, and it is
ridiculous to place any other construction
On the law. Nothing will come Of the
proposed suits. No jury in the State
could be found who would not kick these
cases higher than q kite in three
minutes. No sane man believes that
there has been any violation Of the true
spirit Of the law. It looks q little like
the Iowa Agent may have been inspired
in his report of this trespass
by some one who hoped to gain by har.
assing these companies with litigation.
We wo uid not give the Government ten
cents for its ten million suit.
