An Important Matter.

1t is rumored that the contract re-
Gently let for cutting holes in the ice
and keeping cisterns clear of snow
and ready for use in case of fire, is not
being fulfilled satisfactorily. This is
something " hich should he looked af-
ter very carefully, as in case of negli-
gence, when a fire occurs. the city
would be without the necessary pro-
lection. AS was printed before in these
columns, the council should appropri-
ate to the fire department sum of
money sufficient for the york required
and allow the fire department the
privilege Of selecting one of its mem
bers to do the same. Then the city
could be reasonably sure that the work
would be performed.

AN EXCITING EPISODE.
A Young Man Made the Target for
Revolver Bullets


Revolver Bullets.
The residents of North Second street
were startled by shooting affray a t
Meyer Bros meat market Yesterday
noon, when Leonard Buth, we'll
known yonng man empl,ved there,
was made the target for bullets from a
revolver in the hands of August Kaer-
cher. The latter is laborer who as
lately employed at Charles Fuermann's 8
horse barns. He has been a freQuenter
of Meyer Bros place Of business and
was there yesterday just previous to
the trouble While there he got into
a sort OF friendly alteration with MIR.
Buth, winch afteruard grew more seri-
Gus and it became necessary to eject
him from the market through the rear
door. At this Kaercher, who is said to
have been in a half maudin condition,
became irritated, it appears. and draw
ing a revolver fred two shots at Buth
through a window. Neither of these
reached the mark, although small
piece of glass struck the intended vic
tim under the eve. Kaercher then en-
tered the market by the front door and
continued his evil intent, but Mr.. Buth,
seeing the revolver again aimed his
way, fearlesslv seized his assaiIant
and overpowered him, the gun, how
ever, being discharged and the bullet
just grazing Buth's ieft leg near the
thigh. The wound was not serious
kaercher was at once arrested and
conrined in the lookup. A complaint
was sworn out against him for assault,
and he will have chance to answert to
1t this morning before Justice Hence.
The miscreant is a married man and
has several children.

An Imposition.

The water was turned out of the
Douglas ditch last Friday night, a
week ago, and remained out until
Tuesday morning. This was done
so that the ditch could be cleaned
out. The three days that the water
was turned off were about the hottest
of the season, and gardens, orchards
and lawns suffered greatly for want
of moisture. Notice was given that
the water would be turned off, of
course, but it ought not to have
taken more than day and night
to clean the ditch with a sufficient
number of men. 1t was great in
convenience, to say nothing about
the risk taken of fire starting and
burning the town up.

school Picnic.

The Dayton school picnic was
held at Horseshoe Lake last Mon
day, and pretty fair kind of a
time had. About noon fire was
started in the brush close to the
grounds and the picnicers were
stampeded. The fire burned up a
few large trees before it subsidized,
but did no considerable damage.
The smoke made it unpleasant on
the grounds and the people who at
tended came home early. That
evening a dance was given at the
Odeon Hall, which many attended,
and a jolly time was had.

BE Prepared for fire.

The Fire Company should not
fail to see that the engine and hose
cart are in good working order, so
that should a fire start anywhere
on the Fourth from firecrackers,
bombs, ETC., it could be squelched
Immediately. There has been no
rain for several months; everything
about the town is as dry as finder,
and should fire get any Roadway
it would sweep the town. Many
people will be out of town on the
Fourth, and the machi mes should
be in condition to do active work
should fire start, or it might get
beyond the control of few persons.

Word reached Reno Saturday
morning that two children, sup
posed to have been abandoned by
their parents, were found on a pas
senger train in the eastern part of
the State. The particulars of the
affair could not be learned further
than that they were two little girls
aged about five and seven years.
The youngest one was well dressed
in black, while the elder looked
somewhat shabby. Twenty dollars
in coin was found in their clothing.

Probably a Fraud.

The young fellow who was
around Dayton last week soliciting
orders to enlarge pictures for one
dollar, and furnish frame, got in
to trouble in Virginia City because
he did not pay his livery stable
bill. He is said to be an opium
fiend, and insulted ladies and girls
in Carson and Virginia. He re-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
deceased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness and that is by con-

an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the inaam-
nation can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition. hearing will be de-

There has been considerable rag
chewing about arranging for a
baseball game to be played in Car
son on the Fourth of July. AS
yet there are no definite arrange
ments made, but in all probability
a $50 purse will be hung up for the
Carson and Dayton nines-not the
Carson and Silver City nines-to
play for, and side purse of $50
more. The Virginia nine can stay
at home on the Fourth if it wants
to and play the Reno nine, or
mumbletypeg. 1t is evident the
Comstockers can't play ball much,
anyway, but for the purpose of
Strengthening things out little we
will say that the Dayton nine is
willing to play the Virginia team
in Carson on the Fourth, or at
Dayton on any other date, for a
wager of anything from keg of
beer to 500.
Yesterday word was received
that the purse for the Carson and
Dayton teams to play at Carson
had been fixed at $25, and our boys
will not play for that. The COM
mittee probably figures that Carson
would not have much show to win
and don't want to give away a $50
purse.
