loon for some two months past, was
most inhunhanly attacked by her

her statements and by letters found

he had followed Dolly from San Fran
cisco with the intention of numbering
her. Cosgrove arrived in Elko some
ten days ago; since which time he
compelled Dolly to live with him, and
most Of the time kept her locked up
in her room, carrying the key in his
pocket. On Saturday he received
$40 from his mother in San
Francisco, to enable him to
return home, which was accompan-
led with All affectionate. letter from
one of his family. During that day
and night he was engaged in gamb
ling, until he lost his money when he
became morose and ugly, and finally
endeavored to steal money from the
dice board, until some one, becoming
aggravated with him, slapped HIM
across the face with his open hand:
when G. M. Banks, a police man, who
happened to be at hand, took him
away and escorted HIM up Fourth
Street, toward his room When about
halfway home the man (caIled by the
name. of Barney, thanked the officer
and said he could find the place with
out difficulty. Banks sauDtered round
for fow moments, when he heard
the cry OF murder and piercing shrieks
from the direction of the room occ u
pied by the parties. He Immediately
went to thu house, where he found
the door locked, and was obliged to
break it open. On entering the room
which was in darkness. he lit match,
when he saw Cosgrove leaning over
the woman, who was in bed, and
pounding her, as he supposed, with
his fist. Getting the position of the
man by the momentary light furnish
ed by the match, he grappled with
him and received stab in the left
arm. While striking at him with a
heavy mahogany cane, he hitthe brick
wall of the room and broke it. Banks
received a second cut in his left side
