BAD EMlGRANTS.
They Engage in a Fatal Row at
Rock Springs.
A Miner Killed and Two Wounded
by a Traveller.
The People Threaten to Lynch the
Desperate Pair.
A TRAGEDY.

A TRAGEDY.
A special dispatch to THE LEAEER
from Rock Springs tells of a very unusual
tragedy which occurred at that place last
evening. In a brawl between a crowd of
miners and two emigrants one of the for
mer was almost instantly killed and two
seriously wounded.
MIGRANTS.
Yesterday two emigrants travelling in a
covered wagon halted at the coal mining
town for the purpose Of replenishing their
larder.
A QUARREL.
Last evening the strangers became in
volved in a row with a number of men on
the street.
THE SHOOTING.
Without any warning whatever n of
the travellers drew a revolver and dis
charged the weapon into the crowd.
DEAD AND DYING.
Dick Davis, an inofensive miner who
was not engaged in the dispute was slot
through the body and died in about ff,
teen minutes.
Philip Shaier, another miner, was Sc
riously wounded in the groin.
Dan Harrison, a third deliver after
black diamonds, received a flesh wound
in the leg.
THEY FLEE.
Ere the reports Of tie murderous six
shooter had died away. and while kind
hands were ministering to the unfortu-
nate victims Of the indiscriminate shootar
the two men jumped into their wagon and
drove out of town at a break neck pace.
PURSUIT.
Constable Pickering and Deputy Sheriff
McAllister followed the murderer and his
companion on foot. The officers overlook
the strangers about one mile from town.
THEY REsIsT-A BATTLE.
The emigrants opened fire upon the re
representatives. Of the law when the latter
approached within range. The officers
responded promptly, and with good eff
feet, w~ounding one of the fleeing pair in
the arm.
CAPTURED AND JAILED.
The pitched battle was terminated
when the officers placed the strangers on
a footing with themselves by shooting
their horses. The emigrants were
marched back to town and jailed with not
a little difficulty. The opinion that they
should be summarily dealt with prevailed,
and the officers were all but relieved of
their charges while en- route to the lock
up.
LYNCHING IMMINENT.
THE LEADERS correspondent, who has
a reputation for conservativeness, con-
cludes his telegram with these words:
THE citizens are thoroughly indignant
and terribly excited. Threats are freely
made that the murderers will be taken
out and hanged before morning.
PERHAPS THEY ARR DEAD.
1t may be that the bloodthirsty pair
have expisted for their crime prior to this
writing, $3.50 this morning. The resi-
dents of Rock Springs are not given to
tolerating this sort of thing. Unprovoked
murder they deem inexcusable, and the
records show that they are determined
when aroused, and extremely violent
when occasion, in their Judgment, de-
mands harsh measures.
Further particulars than given above
cannot be obtained at present. By to-
night the names of the emigrants and the
cause Of the trouble will doubtless be
learned.

You can generally tell by the way a
man advertises whether he means bust
ness. From the appearance of E. D.
Wheeler's new advertisement in the
World, we Judge he does mean business.
Examine it, and see if you don't agree
with us. Mr.. Wheeler is gentleman OF
enterprise and ample means, and we have
no doubt that he will deserve success in
his new business, and achieve it. His
declaration that he will not be undersold
by anybody in neighboring towns has
the right ring.

THE COUNTY PRINTING.

With meat-axe, whose blade is duller
than its back should be, the Republican
attacks the commissioners for giving 70
the World the county printing for 1883.
The commissioners had heard con-
siderable from Mr.. Shepard to the effect
that the Republican, had thelargest circu-
iation of any paper in the county. They
made an examination. of the county eiresAa-
fion, as shown by the books of that office
and the World Office, and ascertained
that the Republican had been claiming
something which it did not own-a thing
which the World clearly possesses
largest circulation of any paper in Trego
county. This settled the case with the
commissioners. They knew we were en-
titled to the printing on the broad ground
which had been preached by Mr.. Shepard.
Knowing that the World had the circu-
lation in the county, and seeing that the
commissioners were likely to be en-
barrassed in doing their plain duty, be-
cause our bid to do the printing was at
living rates, we verbally authorized them
to fix the rates for us. We did not, as the
Republican states we did, duplicate in
this verbal statement the bid Of that paper.
We did not know that shops figures.
The county commissioners did their
duty in this case. Outside of the Retnb-
Hoan Office, there will be no serious ques-
ton as to this.

the satisfaction of the mortgage. Ac-
cording to the aforesaid mad man, he had
mortgaged the same team to another
person for borrowed money, on the sup
position that Pat had released the other
mortgage; and this had raised question
of veracity between the borrower and the
late lender.

committed on the 14th of January last.
The defendant waved examination, and
the case went to the Grand Jury. '

Bronson and George Facer presented
themselves to United States Commits
sioner Wardleigh, and plead guilty to
unlawfully killing game. They were
each assessed in the sum of SIS and
costs. which was duly paid. 80.
Before the same Court, yesterday, the
case of the People VS.. MundY and
Moon, charged with grand larceny, and
arrested by Sheriff Belnap last week,

was sufficient to warrant the detention
of the prisoners, and he accordingly
ordered their release.
Before Judge Thomas d. Dee, yester-
day, two cases of disturbing the peace
were heard. One William Hector was
one of the defendants, and the judge
called upon him to donate S. to the city
funds, which he complied with. James

ing the peace of William Parker, and
the case set for hearing on Thursday

not financially able to furnish books of

to the defraying of the necessary ex-

institution, and a large gathering
should greet the philanthropists who
are engaged in this laudable under
taking In addition to variety pr
gramme. nice substantial lunch will
be provided, for which nominal
charge will be made. We hope the
room will be crowded tonight, and
that financially. as well as socially, the
affair will be q pronounced success.
