Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1894-08-28

The Republicans denounced the
Silver men for passing a resolution
at the last session relative to funding
tbs debt of the Southern Pacific,
then voted down by decisive major
ity plank asking the U. S. Govern
ment to forclose the mortgage
They then settled dswn and drafted
u plank as near as possible like the
resolution they score the Silver men
for passing. The platform has My
been out few days and alrea t,e
candidates are asking which ?. I'd
lar plank they must mako their .aiA-
paign on and which, hey must IA re.
The Reno platform conmends the
action of Governor Coicurd III refus-
in. to sign Senate Resolution No. 4,
relative to refunding the railroad
debt. If the trainers of the platform
had examined the statutes they
would have found that resolutions
and memorials to Congress do not re-
quire the Governors signature and
his signing or refusing to sign does
not effect such document bit more
than if he had blown his breath on
it.
1t is hard matter at present to
tell where this county Is politically.
Some claim that it leans strongly to-
wards the silver party, while others
say 1t is heading for the Republican
camp to stay, Many seem to be of
the opinion that it is frst-rate time
to say nothing and saw wood.-Ge-

AN ARTIST OF FAME.
Dawson Captures One of Alabama's Most
Accomplished Young Ladies.

Dawson Captures One of Alabama's Most
Accomplished Young Ladies.
Miss Pearl Foster is to teach an art
class in Dawson, and our people are
to be congratulated upon having this ac'
complished younglady al resident of the
city.
The following, from the Clayton, Ala,
Courier, Ite]ls of the esteem in which
Miss Foster is held at her own home, and
how the people there regret her depart
ure for Dawson:
cit is with feeling of regret we learn
that Miss Pearl Foster leaves us in few
days to accept position as art teacher
at Dawson, Ga; but the feeling is self
ish one and we waive it for one of regard
for her welfare as she, herself, may
view the matter.
"In common with sc ores of other
friends we follow this noble little woman
with best wishes, and in the full conf
dence that she will achieve success in
the highest and best sense of the word.
"Having already won wide and
widening fame we do not think our
young friend cares one iota for the smiles
of the tickle goddess; she Yields the
brush for love of it's mystic power to
touch with life tho dream of the artists
inmoSt soul.
In the State Capitol at Montgomery,
in the life-s!ze portrait of her;father, the
late Chancellor, John A. Foster, there
hangs a product of her genius which
would do credit to many whose locks
have whitened with lifelong efforts for
success.
HHpr own home Orthat of her moi her
at this place, is galaxy of beautiful gems
of art, in the midst of which the observer
finds himself lingering land lettering as
thoughIhis feet did press the shores of an
enchanted world.
"They say that. whatever lis, is right
and we must adopt the sentiment, but
all the same, if we had our wayi Dawson
would have for the next twelve months
one little brown eyed charmer less than
it seems destined now to possess"

showed the total value of property as
returned by the owners to be SS9O,231, a
decrease since last year, when it was ST.
1926, 900, of 1926, 900. The council was not
satisfied with this showing, and decided
to return to the old method of having
property valued by three assessors:
Messrs. S. r. Christie, J. A. Horsley and
N. w. Dozier were appointed assessors,
with instructions 10 begin the duties of
that position at once. When these gen.

ter With g Desperate Negro. His
Wounds Are Serious.
News reached Dawson on Saturday af
| ternoon of terrible encounter that oc
CURED that morning on the John r. Lee
plantation, in Dougherty county, be-
tween Mr.. Ben Hill Johnston and ne.
gro by the name of Lawrence Moore.
! Mr.. Johnston, who was reared neal
Dawson and has number of relatives
and many friends here, was badly cut in
eight places, while the negro received
three pistol balls in his body.
THE WOUNDS OF BOTH MEN.
DR.. Gillespie, of Albany, dressed Mr..
JohnSton's wounds, and reported them as
follows to the Albany Herald:
An eight inch stab and slash cut down
the right side, which required thirteen
stitches. This is themost serious wound,
as the stab penetrated the lung tissues
Cut on left de of face, from mouth
to ear. An ugly wound on which eleven
stitches were taken.
Cut over right eye two inches long,
four stitches.
SlasL on forehead one and half inch
es long
Cut across throat four inches long, not
very deep. Four stitches.
Three wounds near left shoulder in
the Dack-made by hoe or some other
blunt weapon.
Painful bruises ON left shoulder.
Slight cut three inches long on left
side of abdomen. Not deep-no stitch
ing.
From the above it is sho vn that Mr. i.
Johnston was pretty badly carved.
DR.. Gillespie reports his condition Sc
rious-fearing bad results from the long
wound in the right breast.
Lawrence Moore was carried to Alba
ny for attention, and his wounds were
dressed by DR.. Strother. 1t was found
that he had been shot three times. One
bullet entered the right leg above the
knee and came out near the knee cap.
Another bullet struck Moore on the same
leg and embedded itself in the flesh.
The third wound was in the left thigh,
the bullet coming out ON the opposite
side. They are flesh wounds, and no Sc
Flous results are expected.
BOTH SITES OF TILE DIFFICULTY.
Mr. JOhnston's side of the difficulty is
reported to be as follows: 1t appears
that Johnston went to Moore, who is a
cropper on the Lee place, to borrow a
mule, and that the two quarreled. 1t is
said that Moore's wife knocked johnson
down with hoe while the men were
quarrelng, and that Moore then jumped
on Johnson and began emitting him. AS
soon as Johnston could free himself he
drew his pistol and commenced firing
upon Moore as he ran. This was all that
could be Learned, as all the witnesses to
the affray were decidedly reticent.
Moore stated his side the difficulty
himself. He said that Mr.. Johnston
came to his house to borrow his mule;
that during the conversation Johnston
cursed and attacked him, whereupon he
threw Johnston down and gvt on top of
him. Johnston said if he was allowed
