Murder Near wickahony.

As was briefly announced, last week
another great crime has been commit
ted in, Owyhee. Wickahoney is small
lonesome settlement lying southwest
of Little Valley and Bruneau. Only
two or three ranches are in the settle
ment, and the surrounding country is
principally occupied as asummer range
by sheep and cattle men. Only occa-
sioually traveller passes through that
section on his way to or from quite as
lonesome country in Nevada. A fort
night ago, two men, riding white horses,
passed and stopped at the ranches
there, going toward Mountain Home.
About the same date, man from Snake
river went into the settlement with a
load of fruit which he disposed of. In
the early part Of last week one of the
two travellers was found with bullet
hole in the back of his head, and later
the fruitman's body was, found. Both
had been murdered and their bodies
p TALLY concealed. From the tracks
the inference is plain that one of the
travellers had murdered his companion
and that the fruit man coming upon
him before the body was disposed of
had been murdered, probably because
dead men tell no tales. The supposed
murderer was traced to Mountain
Home, from whence no trace of him
has as yet beeu found.

Hlaine as a Repndiatar.

In his speech of Feb. 7, 1878, James

81 say, Mr.. President, that the speci-
fc demand for the payment of our
bonds in gold coin, and in nothing else,
comes with an i'll grace from certain
quarters. European criticism is leveled
against us, and hard names are hurled
at us across the ocean for simply dar-
ing to state that the letter of our law
declares the bonds. to. be payable in
standard coin. The law of July 18th,
1870, explicitly declared so, and de
clared SO il the interest of the public
creditor, and The declaration inserted
in the very body of its eight hundred
millions of bonds that have been issued
since that date. Beyond all doubt the
silver dollar was included in the stand
ard coins of that public.ac

&c slate Treas ur.yship,


The Silver Republican Convention
nominee for the State Treasuryship,
Mr.. Tim Regan, is perhaps known to a
greater per cent of Owyhee voters fhan
to those of the county where he now
makes his home. Mr.. Regan came to
Owyhee county, young man. during
the days when the great mines on War
Eagle we're enjoying their greatest
prosperity, and by industry and good
management acquired a comfortable
fortune here. He is a gentleman whose
integrity goes without question in
Owyhee, and while he has always been
a strong democratic partizan, his pres
ent position in endorsing Senator Du-
bois for return to the Senate proves
that he is loyal to silver in the present
contest: and in the proper place upon
a ticket made up Of the friends of the
white metal regardless of former polit-
ical Civilizations. 0wyhee will honor it
self by giving a rousing majority to
former citizen whose integrity all who
knew him during his long residence
here, viii endorse.

Bryan's Chances.
Startling Admission From One of the
Leading Goldbug organss

Sta7tEpg Admission From One OF the
Leading Goldbug Organss
The New York Herald OF Sunday,
published some figures on the probable
Presidential result that have filled the
Mckinley supporters with alarm. The
Herald has strongly opposed Bryan,
and would certainly not accord to him
more than the indications warranted.
While the figures indicate McKinley's
election by a narrow margin, the re-
suit is reached by giving the Canton
man states that he has little or no
chance of carrying. Really, it is a con
fession that Bryan's election is not on
ly probable, but almost sure. In other
words, Mckinley, according to the Her
aid, is gone if he loses Indiana or Hi
nois, and even granting him liberal
concessions, besides these two states,
he will have to win in Kentucky to
have more than one majority. To
reach this result, the Herald also ac-
cords Mckinley the votes of Connecti-
cut, Deleware, Iowa, Maryland, Mime
sofa, New Jersey, New York and Wis
consip, either one of which may give
the Republicans an unpleasant S ur-
prise and prove fatal to their expecta-
tions. Those on the inside of Bryan's
campaign have no doubt whatever OF
carrying California, Colorado, Idaho,
Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska,
Nevada, North Dakota, Ooegon, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington, West Vir
ginia and Wyoming, and the Herald's
canvass shows that these claims are
well based. Here is the table and what
the Herald says. Coming from pro
nounced gold organ, the admission is
certainly remarkable and very encour-
ing to the Democrats
The Heralds canvass, SO far as made,
in all the states has yielded the inter
esting result subjoineu. Upon these
figures it may safely be said, that if
the election were to be held tomorrow,
137 votes in tAe electoral college would
oe designated for Major Mckinley
This is 13 more than are necessary to a
