THO Fourth.

Daytoniteg spent their Fourth o.
July very quietly. A few young
people left town, but the great ma
jority stayed right at home. There
was no quarreling or drunkenness
in the town, and i'll the evening a
collection was taken up and all the
fireworks that could be found in
Flaws store were purchased and set
off. The crowd then moved to low
er Pike street to witness the beauti-
full Examinations that took place at
J. E. Gignoux's residence. The
Dayton Quartette Club, composed
of Rogers, Keieh, Newman and Ben
nett, rendered some music here, and
the DETECTION in some of the airs
changed the course of a skyrocket
or two. After the celebration was
all over care was taken to see that
all fires around the town were out,
and everybody went to bed sober,
or nearly SO.

Last Saturday Sam Elston met
with quite an accident in Silver
City. He was returning from Vir-
ginia and stepped into the Postoiiice
at Silver to deliver the mail when
some hoodlum boys without any
brains threw "a lot of frecrackers
under the horses, The animals were
frightened and ran away. When
they reached the turn in the road
this side of Silver they ran into the
ruins of the old stone house and
made almost complete wreck of
the bus. One horse was somewhat
skinned up, but not seriously hurt,
The damage done will amount to
about 800. 1t is a pity he cannot
find who the young scrpegraces are
who deliberately caused the accident
and make them pay the damages.

struck IL Rich.

Lew Burt, who most Daytonites
will remember lived here a few
years ago, is now residing in Car
son, and is soon bound to have
more money than he will know
what to do with. He has dis
covered compound of chemicals
that is sure death to flies, gnats
bedbugs, lice, etc, and he can't fill
the orders he is receiving for the
stuff fast enough. The pow der will
not injure the finest fabri cs and
can be used to destroy moths. Lew
thinks he will be over this way
soon to place some of his powder
with our merchants for sale. We
know the stuff will kill flies for we
have tried it.

IL Made Him Crazy.

The McDermit correspondent of
the Sitter State says: "Our little
community was startled the other
day by the news of the second at
tempt at suicide by C. T. Coborn, a
newly married man. We haven't
learned all the particulars, but it
seems that a week ago he tried to
shoot himself in the heart, the ball
passing through the front part of the
left wrist leaving a bad cash; he
made another attempt yesterd day,
this time aiming at his head. The
gun being 22-caliber, the ball
failed to penetrate the skull, and
was picked out with a pen knife,
The wound is not dangerous"

Mrs. L. Owen, of California, who
was here to lecture two years ago,
returned and gave two lectures here
last Sunday and Monday evenings.
She was gladly welcomed by her ac-
quaintances here, and her talks

the young people. She left Tues
day to lecturein Empire, Carson and
Genoa. Miss Gray, who was with

ern California where she is stopping
for her health, which she injured in

Minor Accident,

Last Saturday evening quite a
number of young folks of this
place went to Empire to attend the
dance. When returning a rock
away full of boys and girls from
this place was driven off the end of
the little bridge at this side OF
Empire, and the pants thrown
out. The carriage was the only
thing injured, and that was a very
slight affair,

The Eour,h as piren switch.


The glorious Fourth was cele-
brated on a large scale by the peo-
pie of the valley. The great pre-
parations that had been made drew
a large crowd to Pizen early in the
morning. The procession was
formed on main street at II
o'clock by Marshals A. T. Brann,
Carol and Muldsky. The pro
cessioa was headed by wagon Of
ancient style tastefully decorated
with flags and bunting containing
Miss Isabel Nichol as the Goddess
Of Liberty, Miss Mary Rymers as
Nevada, and thirteen girls repre-
senting the thirteen colonies, fol
lowed by about one hundred car
riages marched to the Hernleben
grove, where the picnic was held.
Upon arriving at the grove the
following programme was given.
Hail Colombia, by the Glee Club;
reading the Declaration of indie
pendence, E. A. Dryer; Liberty
Bells, Glee Club; Poem, Miss Belle
Barrett; Grafton, G.. /. Leavitt;
America, Glee Club. The various
stands, consisting of fruit, ice
cream and lunch counters and the
bar, where the choicest varieties of
liquid refreshments and cigars
were sold, were presided over by
members of the NJ. E.. Church,
doing rushing business. Owing to
the neglect Of the managers to pro-
vide cards or dice considerable
amusement was furnished by
ISLANDERS by the boys tossing dimes
for the drinks. After dinner the
sports commenced. The different
races for small boys and girls were
closely contested. The young
ladies' race of 40 yards was won by
Miss Sylvia Hilburn, with Miss
Mary Alum a close second. The
young mems race of 100 yards was
won by Edward Whiting in the re-
markable time of 81 seconds. Mel
vile Leavitt and Victor Bernard
tied on the three-legged race, di-
viding the prize of a bottle of beer.
The tug-o'- war between twelve
married and twelve single men,
after desperate struggle, was
awarded to the single men, the
losers treating the victors to two
cases of beer, which disappeared
in short order The tug-o'-war be-
tween married and single ladies
rusulted in a walk-over for the mar
ried ladies, concluding the sports of
the day.

far as the Eureka mill tomorrow,
where about 5000 cords will be
taken out, or about two years wood.
This looks as though the Eureka
was expected to run right along.
No wood viii reach Dayton this year

last year to supply the demand.

The Board of County Commits
sioners held its regular quarterly
meeting last Monday; present Theo.
Vinson, Chairman; w. H. Spragg
and Geo. E. Jaqua, Commissioners;
Henry Wood, Clerk.
The minutes of previous meeting
were read and approved.
The bills allowed will be found
in another column.
Board made an order transferring
1895. 81 from General to Officers Sal
airy Fund.
The reports of the several county
officers were received, examined
and ordered filed.
W. L. F. Deal, Of Virginia city,
appeared before the Board to give
his opinion on the constitutionality
of the law passed at the last session
of the Legislature creating a State
Board of Assessors. He cited in
stances where other States were
working under similar laws, and
stated that it was his opinion that
the Act was constitutional. 1t was
his opinion, however, that the AS
SCISSOR of the county ought to. assess
all the railroad property so as to
be sure that Lyon would get her
railroad assessment provided that
the constitutionality of the law is
tested and it is found unconstitu-
tional, and the Board requested
that Assessor Brann so do.
L. Davis, ST., of Sutro, filed his
bond in the sum of $1,000 as JUS
tice of the Peace of Sutro town
ship, with J. l.. Campbell and j. R.
Shaw as sureties. Bond accepted
The Board, in company with the
Auditor and Treasurer, counted the
money in the treasury and found
the same to be correct-$10,S94 0S.
The Board made an order for
the Clerk to insert an advertise
ment in the TINES for four weeks
calling for plans for a pile bridge
across the Walker river in Mason
Valley.
The Chairman Of the Board was
instructed to see about buying
another safe for the Treasurer, as
the one now in use is probably not
considered large enough or stout
enough to hold the coin that will
be rolling into the treasury soon
under the new assessment regime.
The Board visited the Jail and
found that it needed several re-
repairs. Commissioner Jaqua was
delegated to have such changes
made as were necessary for the safe
keeping of Jail birds.
There being no further business
the Board adjourned to meet
August 9th, 1891.

The party sent out by the South
ern Pacific last week to find the
source of the desert lake at Salton
has returned and reports that the
water leaves the Colorado river
eight miles from FL Rio and flows
through several channels to Arroyo
Euncho Station, where they join,
making stream $50 yards wide
and having a velocity of four miles
an hour. The water was too deep
to be measured. At Almo Muncho,
50 miles from the river, the stream
enters the desert for Salton, This
settles conclusively the source OF
the water.
