EDITOR NEWS: A murder was com-
United here this morning at half past
ten. Patrick Greene, brother of Hon.
lChas. Greene was shot and instantly
killed by p. T. Dolan.
From present information obtained
lit appears that Dolan and Greene met
yesterday and had some very hot words
lover some school matter, but were
seperated by friends. All though it
was merely awar of words and so passed
it. But not SO with Dolan he went
home some miles, on the 9th, and
returned here this morning on the 9TH
with shot gun, meeting Greene on
L the street in front of Geo. Kennedy's
store, told him that he had come for
him, raised his gun to fire but VIM.
sGriswold and John Shay who were
were standing by rushed in and Crap
Piled with Dolan, an the first shot went
off in, the air, but Dolan being very
powerful man freed himself from the
peace makers and deliberately raised
his weapon, fired and Instantly killed
Greene. The brains and blood of the
dead man were scattered about the
place where he fell presenting grue-
some and sickening spectacle. The fact
that Dolan went home to his family
and looked upon his home and Preside
and thought upon his neighbor Green
with his home and family, and the
sorrow he would cause by the crime,
and then to return and take the life
of Greene, it is barbarous and dam
nable in the right of God and man,
and calls loudly for justice.
The feeling here in town after the
killing was none of the best towards
Dolan and he was hurriedly moved to
Ely for safe keeping. The misery
and torture of his mind while he waits
for his deserts will be most horrible
If he be made of penetratrable stuff.
To the sorrowing and afflicted
familys we hope and trust that the
Great Comforter will send Balm for
their pain.

Election day in White Pine found
the leaders o. the Party that two years
ago was irristible making desperate
efforts to sustain itself and repeat in
j '94 what it accomplished in '92, but
all to no purpose. It was plainly ev-
ident long before the 9th, day Of Nov.
that disorganization was rapidly di-
minishing the ranks of the Peoples
party in this county. The Republi-
cans the true and loyal friends of Sill
yer, have again taken the field in the
interest of the people and good gov
eminent, and the result of the election
in this county shows plainly that the
so-called Silver party has spent It's force
as political entity and that with the
Republican party, rests the burden of
relieving the people from the clutches
of monopoly, and restoring silver to
it's rightful place as money metal.

made to the mornings work" during
