RI>el q .9rrER.

The following manly letter received a
few days ago by the editor of The
Rec RID, speaks for itself and will be
read with interest by our citizens:
HAwTHoRNE, Nevada,
October oath, 1892.
To the Editor ofthe Record, Phoebe, Men,:
My DEAR SIR: Will you please ex-
press to the people of Lincoln county my
great regret that / am unable to visit
them during the campaign. The fact
that the citizens of Lincoln county are
almost unanimous in favor Of the Silver
ticket, makes me all the more DESTROYS OF
becoming acquainted with SO many I'm.
known friends.
We are bound to carry the State by
large majority, but it is the general i'm.
preston that we should concentrate our
efforts in the western part of the State,
where the opposition to our movement is
centralized.
The Silver movement of this State
should be emphatic as a protest. but we
will accomplish more than that with the
aid of the Weaver vote which will be
secured from the other States. General
Weaver has given public assurance that
if he has not enough votes to secure
majority in the electoral college, but has
enough to hold the balance of power be-
| tween the old parties, he will allow his
votes to be used in the interest of Silver
regardless of his personal candidacy. l
am positive that this balance of power
will be secured, and in that event there
| will be fusion between the Weaver men
and one of the old parties, upon the con-
dition that free coinage is secured. The
balance of power in the electoral college
will, in my judgment, accomplish as
much for the cause of silver as major
ity, and it behooves every patriotic citi-
zen Of Nevada to devote his energy to
the support of General Weaver, in the
hope that under his name sufficient
number of votes will be secured to hold
that desirable position.
II is also essential that Senator Stew
art, who stands pre.eminent as the rest
less and resistless agitator of the Silve
cause, should be returned to the Senate
no greater misfortune could befall tina
cause than his defeat.
With many thanks for the kind consi
Iteration with which my candidacy ha
been received by the people of Lincoll
county, I remain,
Very sincerely yours,
, FRANCIS G. NEwLANDs

THE TAX QUESTION.

For the benefit of many inquirers we
state that the tax for this year is as fol-
lows:
State tax, rs cents on 500; county
tax, $3.50 on the 500; and fire tax.
Phoebe, 10 cents on the 500, making a
total of So. 35 for Phoebe, and 1926 for
county on the 500. The horizontal
raise is upon the valuation Of the prop
erty which increases this valuation one
tenth. For instance, property which il
valued at $1,000 on the Assessors roll
is increased to $l,lo0 by this raise and
the taxes upon propertye of this value
would be 1865 for Phoebe, and fol
the county 1857. Or take it this way
The rate is 1895 for Phoebe and 1925
for county; the 10 per cent. raise viii
make it SO. 6Si for Phoebe, and So. 57a fo
county, using tho old valuation. The
result is the same in either case.

A HEAVY BOND.

The defendants in the case of M. w.
Fox vs.. the Hale & Norcross Silver Min
ing Company have filed
an appeal bond in the sum of ST.
100000. The bond was furnished by the
Western Surety & Guarantee Company
and is said to be the largest ever filed in
judicial proceedings in the United States.
The defendants were convicted of mis-
appropriating certain proceeds OF the
mine and reduction works, and judg-
ment on the sum of $l,0l5,000 was rem
dered by Judge Hubbard in favor of Fox
and the other stockholders, from which
decision the appeal was taken. Major
Charles H. Egan, one of the directors Of
the mining company, was exempt
ed from the operation at his dissertation
as it was shown that he was in New
York during the trial and was not served
| with summons.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

A week ago Tuesday young man
named M. P. Jorgenson, who was well
and favorably known in this section, lost
his life in somewhat singular manner.
1t appears that he and some companions
left Helene on hunting trip to Pahran-
agat Lake and were returning when the
accident occurred. Jorgenson told the
driver of the wagon in which he was
riding that he would lay down in the
bottom of the vehicle, and in changing
position his pistol dropped and exploded,
the ball entering his body above the
navel and ranging upward, entered the
heart. He never spoke, death being in
Simultaneous.
The remains were inferred at Hike,
Messrs. Ed. +. Prudential and W. R.
McFadden of Phoebe, who were in Hike
vt .he time, taking charge Of the body
Young Jorgenaon had many friends il
Phoebe, who were shocked to learn OF his
untimely end, He was about twenty-foul
years of age. He had no known relatives
in this country, his parents living il
Denmark.

Found Dead In the Brush with His
Throat Cut from Far to Ear.
Albert Beebe was found dead in the
brush about quarter of mile from the
dwelling of M. W. Gibson, at st. Thomas,
this county, last Sunday morning, Octo.
Der 30th.
When found he lay straight upon the
ground, face downward. bloody razor
by his side, cash across his throat elev-
en- inches in length and which completely
severed the windpipe and jugular vein,
and which must have resulted in speedy
death.
A coroner's jury consisting of Horace
Holt, Edward Syphus, Dudley Leavitt,
U. V. Perkins, Jos. 8. Huntsman and
VIM. M. Sprouse, was impanneled before
Justice Of the Peace Robert Logan, who
returned verdict of suicide. 1t was
developed that deceased arose in the
morning and went about his daily chores
without showing the least disturbance of
mind. After finishing his chores he went
directly to his sleeping-room. took razor
from table there and walked directly to
where his body was found.
The last seen of him alive was as he
entered his room. His tracks, plainly
shown through the soft earth Of the
garden to the spot where his body was
found showed him to have been alone
and firm and deliberate in all his actions
No paper of any kind was found about
or in his room to indicate why he com
mitted the rash act

1t VIII BE Necessary to Have Recoupt in
Some Districts.
DR.. O'Donnell, who was defeated for mayor
Of San Francisco by a close vote. has secured
evidence which shows gross fraud in the regis
trar's Office and may land Registrar Brown in
the penitentiary. He obtained ailidavits from
four witnesses who saw the registrar break open
a sealed package from one of the precincts and
throw the contents behind the counter Among
the returns an empty envelope was found, and
part of the votes from one precinct were miss
ing. The breaking of this package, whether
the result of malice or ignorance. is a penal
offense. and O'Donnell swears he will prosecute
the registrar.
III cleaning up the election books many bal
lot books were found partly filled with tickets
which should have been turned over to the
registrar. In one book were found thirty DEM
ocratic tickets, all prepared, which some one
did not vote as was intended. The mass Of the
material collected shows that gross frauds were
commit3d In many precincts and that the reg
istrar made no effort to enforce the provisions
of the law.
Registrar Brown was appointed by the re-
publican governor Markham, to ill n vacancy,
but he knitted his own party and aided the nom
partisans. The result OF these disclosures will
be an Official recount on several closely con-
tested Offices.
