A Carson dispatch Of the 10th inst.
says: On Wednesday night or Thurs
day morning Mrs. Eggleston, aged 66
years, was horribly murdered in Ante
lope Valley. hall a mile from Coleville,
Mono county, Cal. On Thursday after
noon a lady called to visit Mrs. Eggles-
ton. After knocking at the door OF the
Eggleston redidence and receiving no
answer, she walked in and found that
the lady had been murdered.
She alarmed the neighbors and the
Coroner was summoned, but did not
arrive until "a hours later. He found
the body OF the murdered woman lying
over the edge OF the wood-box, with
her head stuffed in a 5-pound lard
bucket. Her skull vas crushed in and
there we're over a dozen gashes in her
head, neck and face. The room was
spattered with blood and presented q
horrible spectacle.
A bottle half filed with whisky was
found on the table, and as Indians
we're seen around the premises, it is
thought they entered the house and
we're given food, and after getting pos
session OF the whisky became drunk
and committed the deed.
Nothing was stolen from the house,
so that the murder was evidently not
done by robbers. The remains were
brought to Carson by II. NJ. Schooley,
a brother OF the deceased.

The Austin Reveille says that Silver
Star District, in Esmeralda county,
promises to become one OF the best
mining camps in the State in the near
future. The lodges are principally
gold, free milling, from one to six feet
in thickness and will assay from s. to
1904 per ton. There are a number Of
running springs, which furnish sufici-
ent water to run reduction works; and
OF wood, there is an unlimited supply /;
and beyond doubt, one OF the most
favorably situated camps that has been
discovered in this State. Gold was
first found in Silver Star District last
Fall by Dan Bowen, an old resident of
Austin, who has several valuable loca-
tons. Dams many friends in Austin
hope that his new discoveries will de-
velop into a bonanza. There are about
thirty miners in the camp who have
made locations.

The little baby whose advent into the
world at the Arizona Indian village on
Tuesday was followed SO quickly by
the burning OF the hut in which she
was born is reported as doing we'll, and
the mother was able to walk about.
Col. Dobs, the manager of the village,
is in a q~uandary. The Yaqui Indians
are superstitious. They will 60 five
miles around a trail which they know
has been struck by lightning. The
fact that fire followed SO fast upon the
birth Of this baby has been accepted
by them as an evil omen, and they all

best to quiet them, but now he has re-
quested a priest to come and help to
argue them out OF their fears. The In
dams are Catholics.-S. F. Bulletin.

sheep.

There is more inq uiry for sheep by
buyers who are in or contemplate 60
ing into that business than there has
been for the past several years. 1t is
the only industry that the contraction
Of the currency has not fatally crippled
in this State. Although the price OF
wool has been falling for years, the
wool growers are about the only ones
engaged in our varied industries who
have withstood the financial depres-
sion. A very industrious and intelli-
gent gentleman, who has been in the
business in this country only three
years, informs us that if he can get 10
or IL cents a pound for wool for the
next four or five years he will be will
ing to quit the business, go back to the
old country and live like a lord the
balance OF his days. Silver State.

had been dealing with one OF the lead
ing grocers oil that place for the past 10
years, and who has been N Of the
victims Of the prevailing hard times,
but who had always paid his honest
debts and had settled up to date,
walked into the store last Saturday and
ordered a sack Of flour, whereupon the
grocer asked him il he had the money
to pay for it. He replied that he did
not, and the merchant refused him.
The man walked over to the -four
pile, s%houldered a sack and proceeded
home. Immediately the grocer noti-
fled the Sheriff, who at once started
out find his man. In a short time the
Sheriff knocked on the door, and when
it opened he beheld the man mixing
bread and five small children hanging
on to him, crying with hunger, while
beside them stood the open sack.
The Sheriff said nothing but turned
on his heel, made for the store, put his
hand in his pocket and paid for the
stolen -four and walked out.

A great deal of curiosity was mani
tested by citizens OF Austin Thursday
of last week, says the Reveille, as to
the action Of the Grand Jury in the
ase OF the Vaughan brothers and Nick
Rast, charged with the killing of the
Lister boys in December last. When
it was known that the Grand Jury had
reported, the excitement was intense,
but very little was said by any one.
and when verified that two indictments
for murder were found against each Of
the accused, it seemed TO give general
satisfaction.

"Let me give you my dying adj
vice." said Rufus Choate. "Never
cross-examine a woman 1t is OF no
use. They cannot disintegrate the
story they have once told. They can
not eliminate the part that is for you
from that which is against you. They
can neither combine, nor shade nor

Silver is going down, away down,
derry down." SO low that even the
g~old-bugs begin to fear that they nave
overdone the thing. When the limit
is reached, when there is nothing more
left Of which the rich can rob the poor
and the majority OF the laboring men
have been made mendicants and
tramps there will be reaction from one
extreme to the other. A'war just now
with some powerful nation which would
tax all our resources. even if We were
whipped out of our boots, would be a
godsend. The country needs a shak-
ing up, something which will cause the
rich to realize that the poor have rights
which must be respected. Yet, IN
spite Of this, we cannot help saying
that the man who votes to have a ring
placed in his nose has no kick coming.

How IL Cou,a Re Done.

A Catholic paper says that the arch
bishop of Cashel, examining a little
boy on the catechism, asked him f:
What is matrimony ?" The little
fellow couldn't recall the words Of the

beaten, replied 1.-TWO people getting
married, your grace" could two
little boys get married "Yis, your
grace" "How is that?" ITO two

A Religious War.

A Memphis dispatch says; The war
between the Catholics and Protestants
has broken out in Memphis. The Pro-
testant Pastors Association has come
out in a lengthy card defending the
principles of the American Protective
Association in attacking the Catholics,
whom they charge with being engaged
in conspiracy to control all the offices

determination to carry the war into the
