PARTICULARS OF MIR. WIN. Kill
CORES DEATH.

On the l4th day of January the frozen
remains of VIM. Kilgore, an old time
miner and prospector, was found about
four and half miles south of Parkers
station, this county. For month previ-
GUS he had been stopping in cabin near
Patterson Pass, doing assessment work
for Matthewson Bros. On Jan. 9TH,
John st Clair was at the cabin and wan.
ted Kilgore to go down with him to Cave
valley offering him to 'ride and tie.
He declined the offer saying that he was
not ready to go then, but would be in few
days, if st Clair would bring him horse.
On the l4th Mr.. st Clair taking an
extra horse went up to bring him out.
On reaching point one mile north of the
Sunol Mine he struck snow shoe trail,
but believing it to be back track,
pushed on to the cabin, only to find
kilgore gone. AS it was then too late
in the day to follow the trail, Mr.. st.
Clair returned home and the next morn.
ing, accompanied by Martin Kennedy,
took up the trail and soon found the
snow shoes, after abandoning which, his
(kilgore's) progress had evidently been
slow and laborious. A mile further on
his body was found half reclining against
a sage brush. He had laid down to rest
andl overcome by the fatal sleep,
rested forever.
He had made but six miles in all; was
probably overtaken by one of the terri.
BILE billiards., at that time of almost
daily occurrence, had left the main road,
and was aiming for a timbered butte on
the west side of Cave Valley.
Leaving the snow shoes was a fatal
mistake, after which it was only little
way, and the end came.
A few years ago Mr.. Kilgore was a
successful miner near Eureka, Nevada,
having realized some $4,000 as his
share of the proceeds of ore, shipped
from the Fairplay mine, of which he
was the discoverer.
With This rapidly acquired fortune,
came the gambling mania, and almost as
soon as gained his thousands melted
away on the green cloth.
May the Hereafter hold for him other
and richer Fairplays, with the ore
feather-edge up and the "tiger" long
way from his district.

Bound ovER.-Between two and three
o'clock last Saturday morning, Edward
ii. Lang marched into the Italian Saloon
on Meadow Valley ST., armed with a
butcher knife, with which he started to
clean out the place. Agostina Yorda,
who was standing at the bar, nearest the
door, was selected as the first victim.
Hearing shout of warning, Yorda partly
turned around and thus avoided the force
Of blow aimed at his back. As it was,
his clothing was cut through and
wound about an inch in length inflicted
under his left shoulder blade. Lang is a
recent arrival here and has but one arm.
He is addicted to liquor and when
under its influence is quarrelsome and
dangerous. He was in the saloon before
the cutting occurred, when he assaulted
man and was thrown out. He returned
after time, armed with the knife, evil
IDENTIFY bent on wiping out of existence
every man in the saloon. After striking
Yorda, Lang was knocked down by friends
and speedily fired into the street. The
saloon was full Of Italians who with diff
ficulty were restrained from doing him
serious bodily injury. Lang was arrested
and charged with an assault with deadly
weapon with intent to do bodily harm.
At the preliminary examination on
Monday before Justice of the Peace
Young, the defendant was held to await
the action of the Grand Jury with bond
fixed at $500 failing to give which he re.

1t is a decided advantage to mine

eral resources are said to be second to those
of but few counties in the State, but at the
present time the number of patented
mines in the county is comparatively
small. Past experience has shown that
many prospector would have benefited
largely by patenting his claims at the
start while waiting for revival of the
mining industry.

A WOLF FIGHT.

A Mill Creek miner thus winds up the
story of fight between thousand
wolves that beseiged his cabin one night
recently in the mountains of that region
melted to frenzy by the notes of the
aforesaid miners fiddle:
/ fddled and they fit and ate each
other, till the] band began to thin out.
Every time gave an extra:rasp on the e
string they howled the louder and pitched
in afresh. They kept it up for three
hours, when there wasn't more than forty
or fifty left, and they SO blame full that
they could hardly waddle. But l fiddled
and they fit for second wind. When one
threw upzthe sponge, the others bolted
him in twinkling. By and by there
wasn't more than dozen left. But
fiddled and they fit;and Toasted.
"When they got down to three, each
one laid hold of another's tail and
chawed for glory. The ring kept getting
smaller, but l fiddled and they chawed
until there was only bunch of hair left
and that bowed away down hill. Then
we went out to look at things. The
snow was all red with blood and tramped
down ten feet deep. Heads and bones
were strung all the way down to the
canyon, and there was fur enough in
sight to stuff circus tent. 1t was the
dandiest dog fight I ever saw"
