CLARENCE BucK,snlErrER.
ne DENIES That ne Made n
Statement A~ttrfbufed IN rrsm-

S"snent to Him.
A gentleman Of this place, SAYS the
IN Tuscarora Times Review, received
a private letter from Clarence Buck
under date Of the 18th instant, from
which We make the following extracts
Dear Friend-I am writing this let
ter in the office Of the Elko Jail. /
met the detective, George sherman,
on h street last evening; he told me
II would come up | could see and
read what evidence | had given him
and correct 1t If | saw any errors, but
he failed to produce it, but on the con-
trary- told Price and George Baker
that | had admitted TO him that | had
eight sticks OF giant powder and two
fuses that l took six sticks Of powder
and put them under Peltier's house,
while Harry Clark took the remaining
two, and n fuse and put them under
Prices and that we fired them. I'm
agine my feelings the blood curdled
in my veins. i never made any such
statement. Baker then interviewed
me and said the detective had made
an affidavit to that effect, so there
must be determined action taken
against it. So you see what kind Of a
~predicament they are trying to place
Harry Clark as well as myself. /
would not acknowledge any such base
outrage, so Natter served a warrant
on me. | supposed | was to be locked
up in Jail, but when l stepped out OF
the office there was a wagon ready
and i was showed in it and rushed off
TO Elko, arriving at the dinner station
about 3 O'Clock this morning and left
at noon.
l saw Mr.. Harrington, who told me
to write to some Of my friends imme-
diately, and if necessary have Mr..
Clarke speak TO Harry Clarke about
it. Mr.. Harrington wished you to see
some witnesses for me, Jack McFed-
derman or Three-Fingered Jack, Frank
Winter (they know where | was at the
time of the e~xplosion) /; also Hillman
and Ed. Conforth. They heard Jacks
story after the detective had inter
viewed him in front of Todd's, that l
vas at home at the time and that he
had me down the shaft after supper
until We went home, and also that
they would not take his testimony,
and that they also offered him money,
or told him there was money in it for
him. This was the statement he
made after coming out from the office.
They made the excuse for taking me
to Elko that they were afraid l would
be lynched. One thing | have to on
graduate myself upon is that | Am in
nocent. You can use your own pleas
ure about showing this, but please tell
Jim Daugherty, foreman, Charley
Malthe and any of the boys whom
you think it will interest, also, Tom
Shaughnessy. l expect l will have TO
have more witnesses than those / have
mentioned, and if 50 will let you
know. Imagine my feelings; perhaps
you can give me a little advice. Yours
respectfully, G. Buck.

Hrs. Calvert Publicly Chastises an
ALLEGED slsnderer.

The Carson Appeal says: Yester-
day afternoon. just before the arrival
Of the evening train. the crowd about
the depot was entertained by q lively
horse-whipping scene in front Of
Circe's Exchange. A nan named
Parquette was standing on the side
walk in front Of the hotel when Mrs.
Calvert drove up in a buggy, and halt
ing the horse in front OF Parquette
drew the long buggy whip from the
socket, and springing lightly to the
walk, stepped up in front Of Parquette
and began laying the whip Owe the
mans head. She was a strong, well
built woman, and she did not mince
matters. The lash swished through
the air at the rate of about two blows
to a second, and every blow told.
She finally took both hands to the
work, and the man, holding up his
arm to ward the blows, kept crying
out, " Hold onl What for 2" etc.
She piled the whip until she was
weary, and then jumping into the
buggy again, remarked, "IU teach
you to SANDER me-" and rode of, the
crowd applauding.
Parquette is the man who was
thrashed 30 badly July A, last year,
for some trouble about a woman.
Mrs. Calvert is a married lady whose
husband works in the Round House.

mineral Collection.

DIR. Biber, the Commissioner for
Nevada to the Paris Exposition, pro-
nounces the collection Of minerals
owned by j. H. Job of this place to be
the finest in the State. He says it is
the largest and best classified he has
seen, and he is decidedly in favor OF
having it taken to the Exposition for
exhibition. He desires Mr.. Job to ac-
company him as assistant, and it is
possible that he may arrange the
matter so that he will get Mr.. Job to
take a couple OF tons of specimens to
Paris.-Silyer State.

The Girl She wanted.

A young woman in Toronto recently
answered an advertisement for a
house-maid and the lady Of the house
seemed pleased with her. But before
engaging her there was some questions
to be asked. Suppose" said the
lady, NOW only suppose, understand.
that you were carrying a piece of steak
from the kitchen, and by accident
should let it slip from the plate to the
floor; what would you do in such q
case ?" The girl looked the lady
square in the eye before asking, Is it
a private family or a boarding house :"
" Boarding." answered the lady.
=" Pick it up and put it back on the
plate" firmly replied the girl. She
was engaged.

It is reported that Charles W. Ladd

after he has made restitution to
the company?-Eureka SENTINEL.
As we understand it. Ladd acknowl-

the above squib intimates that his ac-
acknowledgement included restitution "
to the company but the jury which
tried the ease decided that the de-

There is romance in the announce
ment that the four leading Edison
companies are to consolidate into one
general company, with a capital Of
$12, 000, 900. What a proof this gives
Of the value of f~irst-class human
brains. Here is a business aggrega-
ton that springs from the ingenious
wits Of one man. A few years ago
Thomas Edison vas a poor and OBJ
scure telegraph operator. To-day, by
devising machinery Of advantage to
the human race, he is a millionire and
the means by which others acquire
immense wealth. Yet no one is in
jured. The new fortunes come from
traits of observation and mechanical
wit that lay hid in the brain of one
poor, wise man. There are mines oil
the mind that are richer than any
which the geologist finds in the mount
ains.-Dover Democrat.

1t Speaks Public Opinion.

The Iowa State Register hits the nail
squarely on the head in the following item
at is pleasure to the Register to recon-,
mend an article of merit, and this is the
case with Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
DiarrhGa Remedy, as it has proven to be
all that is claimed for it in many instances
that have come under the writer's imme-
date notice, and the Register believes that
every family should have bottle of this
sterling remedy at all times at their homes,
as it may be necessary when least eX-
pected. Messrs. Chamberlain & Company
present testimonials as to the virtue of the
life-saving preparation, from nearly all of
the states in the union, and many instances
ar given where death has been averted by
its timely use Three different cpidemics
are noted, in which this standard medicine
has come out victorious, and this was the
most successful of all the remedies en-
ployed. Too much care cannot be eXer-
cised to preserve the health of the children
as well as the heads of the house, and it is
always best to be prepared at all times.

JOBS AND STEALS.

The Tribune returns to its charges that
the purchase of the Church canal, the
purchase of Parley's canon water, and the
purchase of an interest in Jordan river
were jobs. 1t says nothing about steals
and stealing in its reply, which is partial
though clumsy recession from its first po-
sition.
The "church" canal was bought at an
expenditure of five or six thousand dollars.
1t would have cost the city thirty or forty
thousand dollars to have put its canal
through to the city. This does not look
very much like job or steal. 1t is per
haps true that the purchased canal does
not run as high as the city canal will yet be
made to run, yet we believe that every
candid person in the municipality will
agree that the outlay of a few
thousand dollars to save seven or
eight times as much indicates good
management rather than job, even though
certain disadvantages result. 1t is quite
certain that though the canal cut through
the city as low as it did, it has been taxed
to the extent of its capacity.
Inasmuch as the pipes have consumed
practically the whole flow of City Greek
and but little water reaches our limits from
Red Butte or Emigration, the great value
of the canal, upon which the vegetation of
a large part of the city has been entirely
dependent, is obvious.
As to the purchase of Parley's Canon
water, it is to be said that the water rights
and properties connected Herewith can be
sold to-day for more than their cost. With
the exception of Mr.. Roberts, the purchase
received the support and votes of the entire
city council. Though the usefulness of the
purchase is somewhat impaired by the
extreme. dryness of the season and perhaps
through the use of the water by unauthor-
lied persons, yet the wisdom of the pur-
chase will be more than sustained, in
other seasons when water from every
available source will be necessary to
beautify our city and sustain vegetation.
The city did purchase at the cost of nine
or ten thousand dollars the prior rights of
the Hydraulic Canal company to one sixth
of the county dam and the same proportion
of its storage capacity. When the Tribune
intimates that the company, had expended
no money in connection with the appropria-
ton of the water, it speaks unadvisedly.
The amount paid for the interest was the
precise amount that the members of the
company had expended in filing upon and
purchasing desert lands, the value of which
is substantially destroyed by the diversion
of the water.
But after all, how all of these 'iobs"
sink into insignifcance compared with the
recent action of the Ogden Liberal city
council in appropriating 100000 to induce
a railroad to come there
