Runaway.

Ike Kaufman, a farmer living north
of the city. had an exciting time Tues.
day as he was coming to town with a
load OF oats drawn by four horses.
To keep warm he walked behind the
wagon. The horses became frightened
and ran away from him. Thos. Perry
and 4. F. Hart were half mile or sc
ahead and they were overtaken and
passed in ravine near w. l.. NixOn's.
a moment after, the team veered from
the road and overturned the wagon,
when the gentlemen caught the horses.
No particular damage was done except
the splitting of some grain and the
breaking of wagon tongue.

International series. Lesson for
Feb. "a, 1889, 1.-The Great Teacher and
the Twelve" Mark 6-1:13. Questions
on the lesson to be answered and sug-
gestions discussed primarily by the
members of the Bible class in the Luth-
eran Sabbath school of Abilene and by
all others who desire,
/. Is there any danger arising from famil-
iarity with the TRUTH
3. Are there people gospel hardened?
8. Did the disciples use human means of
treatment to cure the sick?
4. What is the fate of the people of Abilene
compared with those of Nazareth?
). What is the greatest wonder In the uni
verse!
Lesson suggestions: Unbelief on our part
defeats Gods work in our own souls and in the
world Restlessness destroys ones usefulness
We cannot receive salvation except by per
sonal faith. The call of Christ is DAILY and
the invitation comes with every sunrise
Christ is always sending out his messengers
God does as much as he can for US while We
are as we are. tits not what we HAVE but
What we ARE that is the measure of our posi-
bilities in Christian work. No man Is so hard

Mrs. Mary Wink, of Banner City

last week and adjudged insane, wa:
taken to the asylum at Topeka by
Sheriff NALL today. The permission
for admission arrived last night and
the earliest possible moment for com.

The new cruiser Charleston has &C.
complished feat which has prob
ably never been equalled by any
other man-of-war of any navy of the
world. She made an official trial run
of six consecutive hours, under forced
draft, yesterday, and developed an
average Of 1875 knots per hour. Her
machinery worked to the entire salts
faction Of her builders, and also the
Government representatives aboard,

able acquisition to the new American

BOARDER.

A Detroit drummer, who lately
made trip TO Indiana, put up in a
hotel at a small town one night to
find the fare the very poorest, the
beds the worst he ever saw, and the
house run in such way as to amaze
him. After breakfast which he
scarcely tasted, he entered the office
and said to the landlord: "What
kind of caravansary do you call
this?" ,.......
"a first-class hotel, sir"
"You must be crazyl Show me one
single first-class point about it."
"The price, sir. You have had sup
per, lodging and breakfast. Three
dollars, if you please, and if you want
to ride down in the bus that will be a
quarter more."-[Detroit Free Press.

Saturday evening the residents of
Wadsworth were considerably exer-
cised over tho report that man had
been tarred and feathered in or near
that burg. From what could be
learned, it appears that brakeman
named Rickor, who has been employed
on the road:eor some time, has been
playing the "spotter" act, the conse-
quence OF which was the discharge of
a conductor and one of his brakeman,
the other brakeman on the crew being
the informer himself. Ricker's act
caused much indignation among the
railroad men, and about 7:30 Saturday
evening, as he was playing q game of
whist, he. was surrounded by d crowd
OF men, who, with drawn revolvers,,
ordered him to accompany them.
They took him out, and after giving
him = liberal dose of "dope" accom-
panied by q few feathers as ornaments
turned him loose, with the injunction
to make himself scarce. It is said he
went out to Desert Station, where he
hired couple Of Italians to scrub
him of. He then "Aagged" No. at
that place and came to Reno. It
won't do to come any underhand
work on the railroad boys, for they
won't stand it. Reno Gazette.

Bullion Stems.

EDITOR INDEPENDENT will try
to give you few items as I have q
little spare time.
; The furnace started tho 18th and
will have four or five weeks run.
Bullion is lively at present, there be-
ing two boarding houses, ono store
and one saloon running, and all seem
to be making little. I think the
saloon is doing the most business for
there as always a crowd there, but
the crowd sometimes consists of but
one man. Tho furnace started the
18th since then there have been u
Z, show, a dance and one man came very
near committing suicide. He was
running tho ore car in the furnace
and became SO much attached to his
work, that no forgot to stop the roller
when the car came to the top, SO the
car came near catching him. The
hands that were at work at that time
made SO much fun Of him that he
. quit next morning.
Mr.. Robert, tho Superintendent, is a
fine man to work under. I have
never heard him speak an angry word
since have been here.
The dance Friday night was at
tended by most all the young folks
Of Bullion and Highland. The supper
was served by Mrs. f. j. Franks, who
did justice to all. There were several
persons from Elko, among whom
were our County Sheriff, Mr.. Bar
nard, Mr.. Stoker. and a number of
young people who seemed to enjoy
themselves to their hearts content.
But please do not forget that there
are several young gentlemen and
ladies in Bullion. .*..ES.-.;.-.'~~.

A FOUL MURDER.
Otto Huge % LamoiIIe slain shis
mOrninH.

Brad. Waller came in from Lamoille
this morning bringing the news that
Otto Hugo was brutally murdered in
tho field near his residence this morn
ing between 8 and 9 o'clock. The
murderer is supposed to bo E. S. Ken
drick, "a son-in-law of Mrs. Hugo,
formerly Mrs. Labriska), who was
sssn going toward the Hugo ranch
this morning with Winchester rifle.
Deceased lived about five or ten
minutes after being shot, but whether
anyone saw the shooting we could not
learn. It is said that Thomas
Robinson was there when Hugo
breathed his last, and tho fact that
Kendrick has made threats against
the life Of Hugo leaves no doubt in
the minds Of the public as to the
identity of the murderer.
Kendrick, who finished term in
the penitentiary and returned to
Elko in April, was tho husband of
Frances -Labriska+ who obtained a
divorce from him last Spring. He
served term in tho State Prison for
attempting tho life of his wife's sister,
and there have been hard feelings be-
tween Kendrick and the Hugo family
ever since the formers return from
Carson. -.. ..-.
Sheriff Barnard and II. J. Keith
left this afternoon for Lamoille for
the purpose OF arresting Kendrick,
provided he can be found, but there
are fears that he will attempt to muir
der his former wife, who is at Scott &
Cos ranch near Hallock. A telegram
was sent to Halleck requesting mes
senger to go Immediately to the Scott
ranch and warn Mrs. Kendrick Of her
danger, as Kendrick has threatened,
to .".cut her heart out, chew it up and
spit it in her face" This brutal
threat was made to Brad. Waller last
Sunday. 1t is hoped that prompt
measures will be taken in time to
prevent the desperate from injuring
the poor woman against, whom he
seems to have entertained mortal
hatred ever since she succeeded in OBJ
tanning a divorce from him.
We shall await further. particul ars
with much anxiety, and we trust that
the murderer, who seems lost to every
feeling of humanity, will be placed
under arrest before he succeeds in
committing another crime.
