The Reno Gazette of Saturday has
the following: AS Horace Green and
Chas. Ferret, a horse-shoer for Billy
Caughlin, were out for a ride yester-
day on the Virginia road they fell
from their buggy, and Ferrel was
picked up unconscious shortly after the
accident. He was brought to town
and Drs. Mullen and Lewis were
called. The doctors examined him
carefully and pronounced his neck dis
located and proceeded to pull it into
place. After it was Strengthened out he
began to show signs of being a power
full young man, and it took five or six
men to hold him down. He had
several spasms, but in about three
hours got up and dressed himself and
came out on the street. He complained
last night of having a very sore neck,
but to-day is apparently as well as
ever he was.

PRACTICE WHAT WE PREA CH

The Carson Appeal directs attention
to the fact that the people of Nevada
are somewhat inconsistent on the
silver question. 1t says:
In several places in our statute
books is found the expression pay
able in U. S. gold coin,' but nowhere
else do we find the expression, pay
able in U. s. gold or silver coin.'
Many Of our leading merchants
rampant silver men-print on their
bill heads all bills payable in U. S.
gold coin.' We have been dealing in
this gold coin business for years, and
now that the silver agitation is taking
precedence over everything, it would
be a good idea to show the world what
we think of silver in commercial deal
ing in Nevada.
Let every individual print on his
bill heads that he takes pay for goods
in gold or silver coin, and then when
an Eastern gold bug gets such a bill
he cannot go about waving it in the
faces of people to show how insincere
w are in the Silver State.
"Practicing what we preach is o
good way to convince the world of u
sincerity. Let the next Legislature
wipe out the gold coin expression
from the Statute books"

Terrible Tragedy.

An Indian informs the Elko In
dependent Of the I'd inst, hal a ter
rible tragedy was enacted near Ruby
Hill a few days since. According to
his statement two boys, the son OF T..
b. Bruffey who keeps the Hot Springs
near Ruby Hill, aged about ~ and 10
years respectively. went out hunting
one day last week, and after a time
the younger M returned alone and
went to bed in such mental distress that
nothing could be learned from him as
to the whereabouts OF his brother. A
search was instituted and the missing
boy was found shot through the heart.
1t is supposed that the young mar was
shot and killed accidently by his
brother. This is the substance OF the
report brought by the Indian, for the
truth of which we, of course, cannot
vouch.
Nothing has been learned here Of
the shooting.-ED. SENTINEL.

The question of whether the line will
build here or not is not aAirmatively
settled and two graders camps are
now located and at work this side OF

finished on the other end men will be
transferred to this end and the neces-
sary twenty-five OIL thirty miles OF road
bed will go up in short order, most Of

railroad company has secured terminal
facilities, in the fiat north Of town, by
original entries in the State Land
Office, all the land there being vacant.

Nevada's War Paint,

This is how the San Francisco Post
regards the Carson Silver Convention F.:
Nevada wants it clearly under
stood by Congress and the President
that the silver question must be set
tied to suit her, or she will
set up as a ~free-lance with a-grudge in
politics and disturb the peace of the
Union. Astride of a porphyry horse,
her face red streaked with cinnabar,
and a waving branch of sagebrush
pinned in her wildly flowing hair,
Nevada would be calculated to scare
folks. She has the sympathy of the
whole West in her silver views, too"

BIGELOw FOR U. 8. JUDGE.

The subjoined endorsement Of Judge
Bigelow appears as a communication
in the Austin Reveille, Of the 23d ult /:
The petition to the President of the
United States, asking for the appoint
ment Of Judge r. r. Bigelow, one OF the
District Judges of this State, to the
United States District Judgeship Of
Nevada, is a striking compliment to
him, in that it is the sentiment alike
Of both Republicans and Democrats.
Three years and a half ago, when
Judge Bigelow was elected by the
whole State TO the District JudgeshIp
which he now holds, he was com
paratively little known throughout
this State, yet he has been a resident
for many years. Since that election
he has become very generally known,
and the united sentiment is to-day,
" Bigelow would be an honor to any
position in the United States, espe-
cially n OF a judicial character"
The strongest sentiment uttered
against him here at Austin is: We
want to keep him on the bench Of the
State District Court, or elect him
Supreme Judge this Fall" The
Democrats are equally anxious with
the Republicans to do something
handsome for him. and if Lander
county had the appointment OF Judge
Sabln's successor Judge Bigelow would
be the man.
We truly hope that Senator'S Jones
and sart and Congressman Bartine
will sec 10 it that President Harrison
is made 70 know the special quaiifca-
tions Of Judge Bigelow for the u. s..
District ~Judgeship, and then We have
great hopes that the President will do
the proper thing and give Judge Bige-
low the appointment.
We are entitled to ) nan who is
fea,iess, = nest, capable and industri-
Gus Auch a man Is Judge Bigelow.
We therefore ask President Harrison
10 lend a helping bAns the power
il with him, and In xug this APP
pointment, help the p r. Of Nevada
to disfgure the sign thag has 50 long
hung over us-"The hcten Bor-
II is not the peoples fault that this
sign was painted: it was the bosses
who did It. Now we ask give the
people their choice, and that choice is

The people Of Nevada in convention

The Carson Tribune says; To show
why a convention is an absolute
necessity it is only necessary to state
q conversation which took place this

tain amendment, when one asked OF
the other had he ever read the con-
stitution and the answer was "No,
but l know the id thing wants
amending" OF such are our Legis-
latures principally composed.
