POUNDED ON FACT.
Richness of the Pine Nut Gold Discovery
Not Exaggerated.

NOt 4A0&BoI6t0Os
CARSON, New, July 26.--The excite-
ment over the Pine Nut gold discoveries
is growing daily. Between twelve and
fifteen prospectors arrive at once. All
go armed to protect their claims, and
bloodshed may follow over some lodges.
The entire country, covering space ten
miles square, is full of quartz leCges,
many showing free gold on the surface.
Heb Holman, foreman of the Best and
Belcher and Gould and Curry, of Vir-
ginia City, returned tonight. In an in
terview he says:
II have made thorough investigation
and regard the excitement based on
q good foundation. These discoveries are
as good as those made on the Comstock,
and if the surface indications amount to
anything, the result will be heavy
influx Of mining men within the coming
week. Several lsvryeyors are now on the
ground surveying over fifty claims.
There seems at some time to have been
a general upheaval, which pushed tie
lodges through the surface. William
Zirn, the discoverer, panned out $50, in
one pan before me yesterday, and says
he has taken out $4O0 in small sack.
A town site is already laid out and
named Zirnville. A stage line will be
put on from Carson, twenty-five miles
distant. Teams will take out building
material as soon as possible"

A BLOODTHlRSTY TRAMP,
HIS MURDERoUS ASSAULT ,ON A
SOUTHERN FAMILY.
Three Persons Killed and the Fourth Ter
ribly Wounded-The Fiend's Victims
Horribly Hacked With Knife.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 26.-This morn
ing, near Paris, tramp attacked the
family of Nathan S. Conway and wife,
each about 81 years old, and their sons,
Charles and William, aged 33 and 28. They
were sitting on the veranda in company
with Williams wife and three children
and two nieces, Misses Florence and
Lucy Leaguor, when negro named
Craig came up and asked for
drink Of water, which
was given him. He thereupon
lifted rusty scythe blade and asked if
twas notsa good knife. Charley Con-
way nodded, and the negro throwing
down the cup Of water, struck him with
the knife, splitting the skull. rhe rest
Of the family ran into the house. Craig
continued to hack the young man till he
thought him dead. He then attacked
the father who had returned and killed
him. Then the mother coming up, had
her head split open and instantly died.
After the negro had insanely hacked
her body in dozen places, he attacked
William Conway, cutting him In the
head and body as he ran. He had just
struck Conway to the ground when G..
w. Barly, neighbor, attracted by the
screams, came up and shot Craig
twice with buckshot. This seemed
to have no effect, but other neighbors
came up and a young man shot Craig
with pistol. Craig ran, falling beside
a haystack, and died in few minutes
from the effects OF the buckshot wounds.
The pistol ball had glanced around his
head.
The Conways came to Bourbon eight
cen months ago, from q farm near
Cynthiana. They were orderly citizens
and held in the highest esteem. Craig
said he had killed seven persons, and
intended to kill that whole family. He
is known to have killed his mother-in-
law. He had always been known as a
desperate fellow and was a brother Of
Charlie Craig, now under sentence of
death in Cincinnati.
