A FOUL MURDER.

Last Sunday afternoon the body of
Little Maggie, " well-known Indian
woman, was found lying near the M. f.
Church. Her clothing was found satu.
rated with blood, and large pool had
formed about her head. The poor crea-
lures throat had been cut from ear to
ear, completely severing all the arteries.
1t is supposed that the fiendish crime
was committed early Saturday evening.
Maggie was a woman of far brighter in.
telligence than the average of her race.
She spoke English huently, the result of
constant intercourse among whites. She
was aged about 30 years and had worked
in the various households at Indepen.
dence since childhood. The Coroner's
jury met on Monday and adjourned until
Tuesday. The object Of the adjournment
was to await the arrival of Manuel Leon,
who was arrested on suspicion. An In.
dian known as "Bill" was examined at
length and his testimony was very clear.
A number of other witnesses were called
on the stand and their evidence taken.
After retiring to deliberate short time
the jury returned verdict that the de.
ceased came to her death from knife OF
some sharp instrument in the hands OIL

The Efficacy OF Prayer.

Nelson (B. CT miner: A pretty good
story is told by a man who spent the
Summer Of 1855 on the top of noun
tain not many miles to the south Of Mel
son. The Summer was noted for no one
thing more than the number and extent
of the forest fires raging in June and
July. Valuable mining property was
threatened on the top of the mountain,
and an employee who had been on pay
roll just long enough to get one square
meal was put on the night shift to fight
the ire.
He was an I.ishman and reputed a
good miner, but did not know anything
about fighting forest fires and naturally
asked his employer how he should 60
about the work, The employer replied
rather CURLY; Blank it, pray to the AL
mighty for rain" The Irishman, who
had probably uttered a million oaths for
every prayer, simply said; "All right"
Before morning slight shower fell. At
breakfast the employer good-naturedly
remarked: "Weil, John, your prayers
had good effect. repeat them again to.
night" The Irishman simply said;
"All right"
That night a rainstorm set in which
lasted several hours, and at breakfast
the employer was more than pleasant
because Of his property being beyond all
danger. He joked the Irishman on the
efficacy of prayer and got for reply
at has always been my BANKED luck tc
work myself out of soft job" The
Irishman was given a job that lasted
long enough for him to earn sufficient t.

Nearly SOlil Antim Ony.

Austin Revillee: We were shown
last week specimen of anthony ore
taken from the mine at Big Creek, this
county, and operated by few business
men residing in our midst. The piece
was about fourteen inches long, nine
inches deep and FIVE inches thick and
weighed sixty-two pounds. 1t is nearly
the pure stuff, working seventy per cent.
This mine is working half dozen men,
and from what we can learn it will not
be long before the investors will realize
handsome profits from their investment.
As guarantee of promising prospect
thirty.six tons of this ore was loaded on
the Nevada Central cars at Austin June.

A reporter of the Chicago Tr ibune,
who was sent to Carrolton, Mississippi, to
investigate the assassination of the Re-
publican Postmaster Mathews, was not
allowed to perfect his work of inquiry.
As soon as his mission became known,
a criminal charge was trumped up against
him and he was released on giving bonds,
and promise to at once leave that sec.
tion, which, owing to the public senti-
ment he did; but by judicious inquiry he
had already learned that the killing of
postmaster Mathews was a murder by
the shot gun policy Democrats. Math.
ews was the first Republican postmaster
appointed at Carrolton, and it was fire..
quently said there. no Republican should
ever hold that Office. He was threatened
with assassination, but refused to leave.
and while on the street was killed with q
shot gun fired by druggist from his
place Of business. This is one feature of
politics in the south at this time.

On 2nd inst Judge Rising in the Dis.
trict Court at Dayton sustained the de.
murrer in the Lyon county contested
election cases. This decision gives the
Offices to the persons who were declared
elected by the County Commissioners
who countedl the vote. The Court ruled
that the illegal marking of ballots must
be traced to the person whose Office was
contested to render it effective, and the
same also in the matter of bribery. In
other words, ii a candidate for Governor
was instrumental in bribng man to
vote for him, his action could not affect
the standing of any other person on the
ticket that was voted by the man that
was bribed. 1t is likely that the cases
will be appealed to the Supreme Court.

A TWO.HEAD ED PIG
The singular Product Brought From
Sacramento Ranch.

The Sacramento Bee tells this: There
was born on the Plummer ranch four.
teen miles from this city, few days ago,
pig which had two heads. The heads
were closely joined, and while there were
only two ears there were three eyes
one on each side and one in the center
and two well defined ''snouts" and
mouths. The pig survived only twenty.
four hours, but, during its brief career,
evinced monopolistc tendency, as it
would, when feeding, taking teat in
in each mouth. The mother may have
despaired OF so many mouths to fill, and
she ended the monstrosity's life by
crushing it. The remains were
brought to Sacramento to-day and were
viewed by many with interest.

Two of our representatives, before
leaving for Carson, were asked to secure
the passage of some bill under which a
respectable condition Of our main streets
at least, could be enforced. They looked
into the matter somewhat and found
that they would be able to do practi.
cally .|nothing. Laws already exist
which, if taken advantage of will enable
us to abate the dirty street nuisance, and
other nuisances also which have existed
long time and which are alike injurious
to health, and Objectionable from
standpoint of decency. 1t will make
slight addition to our taxes necessary,
but the amount per capita will be so
small as to be unworthy of notice.

THE DISTRICT JUDGES.

We have said little or nothing during
all Che talk which has recently been going
on throughout the State, as to what re.
arrangements the newly elected District
judges might make of the Counties in
the State, for Judicial purposes, or where
they would severally reside; believing that
under the law by which the fourth judge
was appointed, one of the four would re-
side at Phoebe it being the most favora-
BILE point Of the three places mentioned.
But now it is mooted that the Legislature
may be asked to amend the law relating
to the residence of the fourth judge, SO
as to avoid residing at either of the
places mentionedin the amending statute,
and we object. The law providing for
the fourth judge, was introduced and
urged through the Legislature by Lin.
coins representative in the Senate, to re.
lieve us from the great judicial inconve.
nience-not to say hardships-.into which
the one Judicial Districtsystemhad thrown
us, Under the new system we have had
practically no District Court at all, and
are not likely to have unless we secure a
resident Judge; and we need Court more
than any other County in the State.
One Of the Judges under the law as it
now stands is required to reside either
at Phoebe, Belmont or Ely, and of the
three places Phoebe is most preferable.
1t is no farther from railroad line than
either Of the others, has telegraphic com.
munication, and within year will have
