Charged with Murder in Nevada.

Preliminary Examination of Man
Charged with Murder in Nevada.
Wells New, November 18th. - The
murderer Morris hSi a preliminary ex-
animation to-day, and was held over for
action Of The Grand Jury He exhibited
considerable nervousness when the evil
dence was being taken, and particularly Sc
when John Reed, a tramp, testified that he
gave him s5 BILL with the remark that he
had Just killed man. The clothes that
Morris wore when arrested were stained
with blood, which he had been trying 10
wash ont on the cars.
An autopsy was held on Loscsster's body,
which showed that the windpipe, iugular
vein and carotid artery were completely
severed, and that he had been horribly
beaten on the head with a blunt instrn-
ment, presumably stone, but sufficiently
sharp to cut the scalp.
The testimony at the inquest tends TO
prove that John Reed is an accessory before
and after, if not a participant in the muir
der. Reed came here q few days prior to
the murder from California. He is an in
veteIate drinker, and was held under 81 600
bonds to appear as witness, in default OF
which he is in Jail at Elko.

Congressmen Arriving at the Capital.

:.
WASHINGTON, November 2Sth-Members
of Congress are coming in lively to-day.
Between 80 and 100 have arrived, and the
Capital begins to show the busy signs Of
the opening of Congress. The Democrats
are coming in with joyous smiles spread
over their faces, and the Republicans hold
their heads very we'll, considering. The
result of the elections has got TO be an old
story but one which the Democrats do not
tire of repeating. Every member newly
elected has some experience to relate. The
subjects talked of with much interest, and
occasionally with some indication OF
anxiety, are the policy of the opening ses-
sion, the Farmers Alliance movement and
the ever-present topic of 1892.

Nessrs Editors:
viii you please find room in Your
valuable paper in reply to Farmer
on the subject of County Roads, He
says owing to the condition of our coun-
ty roads and the expense of maintain
ing them, even in their misera bic condi-
ton, he thinks the farmers of Augusta
county should look to their interest by
having the present road law 50 amended
as to get better results for the money
expended. He suggests plan-all sub
Ject to work two or three days OF each
year, and he says there is no man, how
ever poor he may be, who could honestly
refuse to work three days for his county's
benefit
Now, | say, the poor down-trodden
workingmen have to work two days in
each year and pay a head tax besides,
and if they work any days over that
they have to work for the poor ptful
sum OF Is cents per day, when they
ought to have $3.50 and give no days at
all. | wonder if the farmers will ever
be satisfied with what the poor working
man does for them? They work on the
farms for them at starvation wages
they have kept up the roads for them to
ride over in their fine coaches and bug
gies, and the poor man travels on foot,
and often when the poor man is called
out to work on the road he l. as to either
go pay a fine or get somebody in his
place whether he has any bread for his
poor little children or not. Will the
Legislature ever have any pity on the
poor miserable. down trodden working
men? Who gets the most benefits of
the roads? Don't the farmer make his
money on the roads when he is hauling
with his teams and driving his stock to
market? If the poor workingman gets
a little hauling done he has to pay dear
for it. May God have mercy on the poor
worllingmen and give them justice

Not Guilty,

was the verdict of the jury in the case
of Jos n CARRIER, of Piedmont tried
last week in the County Court for set
ting fire to the hay ricks of Col Jno. H.
Crawford the 27th of December last.
Col. Crawford was very positive that
CARRIER was the man he saw running
from the hay ricks the night of the fire;
but the defendant proved an alibi so
conclusively that the jury was out only
a few minutes, just long enough to shape
up their verdict. During the trial Mrs.
CARRIER, the wife of the defendant, and
her two little children, were constantly
at the side of the husband and father
The counsel for the accused was so deep
ly interested in the case, that when the
jury brought in their verdict, their
sympathies We're manifested in open eX-
pressions and signs of joy. The verdict
met with general approval, and the I'M
fortunate man was released and returned
to his family and friends.
