Was 1t Murder?

An old resident Of Pzen Switch,
named Had Raymond, who was miss
ing since the 18th. was found drowned
yesterday in The Walker river at Wises
place, above the Switch. About thirty
pounds of iron had been tied to his
body, and an ugly wound on his fore
head showed that he had been struck
by hard and heavy instrument. 1t is
believed that the bloody tragedy &C.
Cured about three-quarters OF a mile
above where the body was found.
Raymond had been stopping at the
house of Mrs. Osborne, in charge of
her children, while she was away.
Upon his disappearance the children
did not make any alarm, but as he had
been expected 10 visit neighbor on
certain day, his failure to do 30 excited
comment, and as soon as it became
evident that there was something
wrong search was instituted, but he
could not DO found.
Yesterday two Piute children went
into the river to swim, and they found
the body as above described, and told
their mother about their discovery
who subsequently informed the whites
1t is believed that Mr.. Raymond was
killed by certain Piutes, whom he had
forbidden 10 come around the house.
and who have been heard to threaten
to kill him. Parties are now out after
the suspected Piutes, one OF whom
killed Chinaman in Mason Valley
few years ago.

A RossER.
The Troubles Caused by a Mid
night Alarm.

tuAtth
A citizen of Hawthorne was rudely
awakened out of a sound sleep the
other night by his good wife, who ex
claimed in a stage whisper: John
John! there is robber in the house p
John (who has been nursing a
sprained arm for the past week. sprang
ont of bed and colided with the bed
post, throwing his sore arm again out
of joint. He remarked; al. K Rystm
with emphasis, but dashed brayely in
pursuit of the robber, who was sup
posed TO be helping himself to bank
notes and jewels in the next room. AT
the threshold of the next room, the
suffering husband stabbed his big toe
with an ipgrowing naiD against the
rosewood piano leg, and he SAID
"GEEsIs" Then he reached an open
door, through which the robber had
flown. With one hand in the door
jamb and the other one caressing the
injured toe, the husband looked into
the darkness and inquired in high c.;
Whonells there?'
Come in! Don't go outin said the
trembling wife, at the SINE time slam
ming the door shut and catching
Johns fingers tight.
HELENBLAZEs open the door !"
screamed the tortured husband.
AT this stage the family cat jumped
from the clock shelf and brought down
the brand new clock on Johns head.
This noise awakened the three children,
who all began to yell together. The
clocks alarm was let loose, the dog
began to bark and yell, and the
chickens in the back yard cacllled with
fright. The husband looked at his
bleeding toe and jammed finger. Then
he looked at his fearful spouse Then
he stuffed cotton in his ears to deaden
the dreadful din. Then he said, my
dear if there WAS a robber about the
place, it is safe to say that he will not
return to night. Let us pray"

Consolidating Counties

The new constitution proposed by
the Board of Trade will reduce the
number of counties in the Stats from
fourteen to eight, Lander. Churchill,
Nye, White Pine, Lyon and Douglas
being consolidated with Esmeralda.
The other counties Will be Elko,
Eureka, Humboldt, Lincoln, Ormsby,
Storey and Washoe. AS now defined,
Humboldt will lose a strip mile or
SO wide, on the east side, from the
Oregon line to the railroad, near Battle
Mountain, from which place it will
gain territory south to point near
Kingston, a jog being made in the
eastern line to leave Austin out. From
near Kingston the line runs west, TAX
ing in neatly all of Churchill county,
including Saltwater and the sinks OF
the Carson, TO a point near Cleaver
peak, from which place 1t runs north
to the Oregon line, giving Washoe a
strip of what is now Humboldt terri
tory, including u part of Camp Nc
Garry Reservation. Humboldt gets
about twenty miles of railroad now
owned by Churchill and loses mile
and half more of road on the east
side.
Esmeralda is pretty big county
now, bat under the new order she will
be so big that 1t will take a week to 60
from one end to the other.

A Strike Threatened.

A gentleman from Candeiaria in
forms us that town was greatly excited
last Monday. The cause of the excite
ment was a threatened strike of the
miners employed in the Dablo and
Holmes mines. Our informant re-
ports that three miners circulated peti
tons among their fellow workmen ask
ing that their pay be raised from So 10
$3.50 per day. Nearly all the miners
signed it. The next day when the
three miners above mentioned weot to
work they were told that they were no
longer wanted. Then miners meet
ing was called, and 175 men resolved
that unless the three men were put TO
work they would all strike. To avoid
immediate trouble the Superlnten-
dents put the men to work again, and
peace prevails in the camp. As above
stated, the petition asks for an increase
10 SO so per day, and the Superinten-
dents are given until the 7th Of Seq
TENDER TO decide, after which il is said
the men will refuse 10 work unless
their demand is acceded to.

and periodicals will be kept on file.
