just before going to press yester-
day afternoon A. Wines, Of Pleasant
Valley, brought in the news of the
sudden death Of Truman Young, no.
tice Of which was published in yester-
days issue. The boy has been great
ly afflicted for several years with peri
odical spasms which rendered his life
burden. On Sunday night about
II o'clock he was attacked by one Of
them and after he had partially re-
covered he was left alone, but shortly
after it was discovered that he was
dead. From the position in which
the body was found it is. supposed
that he turned over on his face and
smothered. e.
Mr.. Wines took out q coffin last
evening and the remains were de-
posted in their final resting place to-
day. Cut off in his youth, his suffer
ings over, he rests in peace.

OF Ann Arbor, and is the son of J.L
Wines, prominent attorney of Ne
vada.
Eureka Sentinel:-One Of the Lo
family, aged about 100 years, gave up
the ghost last Thursday in front of
the Methodist Church on Spring
street. He lay like q warrior taking
his rest with his blanket wrapped
around him, and his spirit peacefully
passed away to the happy hunting
grounds.
Silver State:-The warlike Cana
dams are respondent. They expected
the whole British Navy to sail at
once for Behring Sea and blow the
United States revenue cutters out of
the water, and their dependency is
caused by dispatches from the British
Government explicitly declining to
allow the Pacific Squadron to protect
Canadian sealers found in Behring
Sea.
The detachment of two members Of
the Salvation Army, who have been
operating here for a week, went down
to Carlin this morning. They would
appear to better advantage if they
were engaged in some honorable en-
ployment, but evidently being too
lazy to work they are attempting to
fleece q living off the public. The va
grant law should be enforced against
them.
White Pine News:-From parties
in from Cherry Creek we learn that
they had quite food there last Sun
day night. The storm was very
heavy and the water came rushing
down the fiat back Of town with great
velocity. Several Of the houses in the
lower block on the west side of the
street were flooded with water and
mud to depth of several feet. No
serious damage, however, was done.

rleuna valley Items.

Ed. INDEPENDENT:-Our lively lit
tie valley has been dressed it it's holi-
day attire for the past week or more,
the cause was the advent OF Mrs.
Geo. Russell and family, Of Elko, who
have been staying at the 25-Ranch.
The effect was numberless sociable
affairs, such as dinners, dances and
picnics.
On Sunday the 18th instant picnic
was organized by the genial George
Davis, Russell & Bradley's Foreman
of the 25-Ranch, their destination
being Mr.. w. II. Kennedy's canyon
in the Ruby Range. The party con-
sisted Of the families of Messrs. j. r.
Henry, VIM. H. Kennedy, N. Ouder-
kirk, Thomas Suite. Also Mrs.
Geo. Russell, Misses Lou Craighead,
Minnie, Alice, Maud and Lille Miller,
Lille Turner, Ed. johnson, George
Davis, Frank Ouderkirk and L. D.
Alberti. A suitable grove bong
found a splendid lunch was served
after which the younger OF the party
took every available horse and saddle
and took to the mountains in search
Of cherries, berries and rattlesnakes,
one of the latter being found and
scalped.
On the evening of the 23rd the
spacious rooms Of the 25 we're thrown
open and candlelight shown DER as
fine gathering as we ever had the
pleasure of attending in tho valley
and we are sorry we have not the
space to give moro minute details.
Suffice it to say, every ono went homo
in the morning praising the hospi-
talities of Mrs. Russell and her charm
ing daughters.
Geo. II. Davis with Mrs. Russell
and two daughters, two Miss Millers,
j. r. Henry and wife and Miss Lille
Turner took dinner to-day at Mr..
John Clendennings, returning in the
evening to Mr.. Henry's for ice cream.

On available Democratic candidate
for Governor Of Nevada, and in his
behalf makes the following hattering
remarks:
"The Republicans have not a man
in the State, to use u slang, but trite
Ihra q, who can beat one side of him.
We believe we have drifted around to
time when the people of Nevada
will not fail to appreciate intrinsic
merit in candidate for high public

Kelly would be practically invincible
before the people,"
