A Description or tho Town and Its
Prospective Future.
EDITOR INDEPENDENT:-Fr per-
sonal observations covering a period
Of six months, the alleged fact of the
standing Of Deeth as to every point
claimed for it is no longer a matter
of doubt with your correspondent. 1
Settlers of the early Seventies" IN
this section OF the country will re-
member all apte-diluvian freight car
stuck up on stills near the f. f.
track, which served as store receiver
for shippers. Little they dreamed
at the time that this car would be-
come the ancestor Of a modern
village, numbering a hundred souls.
There was no station agent to tell
people that the train was on time or
80 many hours late. The neighbor-
ing rancher, on travel bent, had to
be there on schedule time. In this
connection it may be mentioned that
shipments of stock and other farm
produce had to be effected through
Halleck or Wells. the nearest tele-
grab stations, each a distance of
about twenty miles east and west of
STAR Valley. ......,....s,
Indeed, Deeth today ID not only a
tirst-tlass trading post, meeting all
the requirements OF the surrounding
country, but 1t has also risen to the
dignity Of one Of the principal stock
ishlpping places in Nevada. 1t is
ss1fprising that such small places as
Peso and Osino should appear in
the, monthly Railway Guide" as
regular stations, while Deeth does
not.
With the prospective development
Of the Northern gold mining districts,
this place will be sure to grow into
quite a respectable little town. AS
market place for the North Fork
valleys, Island Mountain, Mardis and
the Bruneau country it has the adj
vantage Of Elko, by reason of a

"When our differences are forgotten

CONTINUES TO FOOL THEM
sIaceo Is Altogether Too Many for the
Stupid Spantards.

New York, Oct. GA dispatch to the
Herald from Key West, Fla, says: Well
informed passengers who arrived from
Havana last night confirm advices that
Maceo has crossed the trocha at Arte-
m:sa and joined other insurgent forces
in Havana province. They declare that
the report circulated by Maceo OF his en-
campment at Carcarajacara and a con-
tenplated attack on that town, was
merely feint OF the rebel leader TO con-
centrate the Spanish troop at that point.
Upon their arrival al Carcera jacara the
Spaniards found nothing but a deserted
camp.
Maceo's followers under forced mar
ches. suddenly appeared at Artemisa,
the central post on the line OF the trocha.
The insurgent cfif sent word 70 the COM
mandant that he intended TO lombard
the town. giving the inhahitant five
hours TO leave the city. Not needing
Maceo's threat, the Spanisrds would per-
NIT no one 10 leave.
Thirty shots from the rebel dynamite
guns were thrown into the city. Many
buildings. it is said, have been leveIled.
while the slaughter OF non-combatants
was appalling During the carnage. Ma
Geo and HIS followers crossed the lines OF
the trocha into Havana privince. where
they joined the forces OF General Asu-

whichever version OF the massacre
at Egin is true, there is no doubt that
the effect of the slaughter, plundering
and burning Is very serious. 1t is claim
ed in certain quarters that when the
heavy sonws are on the ground and the
escape of the unfortunate Armenians Is
almost impossible, when the telegraph
wires are down and the roads impassa-
bic the Turks will resume butcherinG,
with the knowledge that the news viii
not reach Europe or America until the
n7assacres are practically things of the
past to be denied and eventually con-
doned by lapse OF time.
The reports from Egin also say that
a number of Christians have been mur-
dered in adjacent villages since the mas
sacre in the city.
TIE events of the past years have Sc
riously weakened the authority of the
Turkish government over its Mahomme-
dan subjects. Very little confidence can
be placed in the soldiers and gen d
armes, as the latter have received no
pay for many months and have no i'm
mediate prospect of getting any.

ATROCITIES or THE sPANIARDs
What Denver Man has to Say of Weyler's
Tender Mercies

Denver. Oct. 26-Charles Lochte Of
this city, who Joined the Cuban army
last spring. and was taken prisoner by
the Spaniards, and after three weeks i'm
prisonment in Moro castle was released
through the, intercession Of Consul Cen
eral Lee, has just arrived home.
The sentiment among the Cubans," he
said. sis that Cuba will be free within
four or five months. 1t is estimated by
well Informed officers of the Cuban army
that the Spaniards have lost s., 900 men
since the war opened. The atrocities
practiced by the Spaniards. who are ex-
asperated beyond endurance by the per.
sistence OF the Cubans, can hardly be
credited I have seen defenseless Wo-
men and girls outraged, and I saw an
American citizen, Dan Erb, formerly a
fireman on the Denver and Rio Grande
railway at Leadville, shot down in cold
blood by Spanish officer. Erb was tax
en- prisoner at the same time as myself.
We were held as prisoners on the side
Of the railroad track, awaiting the train
to carry us to Havana. A Spanish Of
hcer entered into conversation with Erb,
who exclaimed defiantly that he was an
American citizen and expected to be
treated like man. The officer drew a
six-shooter and killed Erb on the spot.
While confined in the castle, wit
messed many startling scenes. Every
morning the prisoners were required to
go to the seashore to battle. They were
sent out in gangs of twenty men under
heavy guard. noticed that some never
returned. The missing men were eaten
by sharks. Hundreds and perhaps
thousands Of men have been disposed o.
through the agency of the sharks.
The doors of the Enclosure surround
Ing the castle are left open as if to in
vite escape, but no man who has made
the attempt has ever been heard OF
again. Those who attempt to leave are
shot down like rats.
I'm the castle 1 was fed on tortilias
and water. The tortillas had evidently
been doctored for they tasted unlike any
l had ever eaten before. The water was
salt and brought on dysentery. In u
room eight by ten feet in size twelve
prisoners were packed like sardines. At
night We wereo bliged to sleep in tiers,
the upper tier reaching to the ceiling. OF
course there was no ventilation and ev-
erybody in the room was sick. Accord
ing 10 the best estimate could get, over
5000 men were confined in the castle un-
der the conditions have named"

was brought here on a SPECIAL train
from Atlanta When the train arriV>
ed at Americas, the entire population
of the city had gathered at the station.
The vast assemblage stood in silence
with uncovered heads to show their re-
spect for the dead. All the bells in the
city were tolled and added to the solm-
enty of the occasion. The casket was
conveyed from the special car TO the
hearse, which was drawn by four black
horses, each led by sable groom The
Americas light infantry and delega-
ton of forty citizens preceded the
hearse and the procession started to
the Methodist church. The buildings
along the line were draped in mourn
ing. AT the church one hour was de-
voted by Mr.. Crisp's friends to viewing

the funeral Grafton at the church, at
the conclusion Of the services there, the
remains being conveyed to the ceme-
terry.
All the houses along the route were
draped. The procession passed by the
house the Crisp family dwelt in years
ago. Friends had placed a large arch
over the gateway on which were the
words: His Old Home" People lined
the sidewalks from the church to the
cemetery. Arriving at Oak Grove, the
military opened ranks and stood at
present arms" The remains were car
ried to the family burial plot and after

LoGUE AND ADJOURNED THE
HOUSE.
Washington Letter 10 New YORK SIM.

Washington Letter to New York sun.
Congressman Dingley, OF Maine is a
man who abstaius absolutely from the
use OF intoxicants. and lie does not
use tobacco in any form. lie cannot
see a joke, nevcr tells one, and APP
pears to look only on the serious side
OF life. Mr.. Dingley never attempts
to tell other people how they should
live. what they should wear, or where
they should not go. lie will attend
dinners where the wine flows, and
does not stay away because lie himself
is a cold water man. Speaker Reed,
who is Il temperance man without be-
ing a total abstainer, likes TO say
things calculated to provoke a laugh
at the expense of his sober-minded,
earnest colleague. 1t is related that
they both attended in Washington a
dinner at which wine and other in
MIGRATING fluids were to be had In
such abundance that there was danger
OF IN inexperienced man falling by
the wayside. Shortly after the coffee
and cigars Gov. Dinghy excused him
self to the host, and, without being
observed by the guests, slipped quiet
ly out Of the room for his hotel. In
a little while Mr.. Reed pushed his
chair back. lifted the tablecloth and
looked under the table in such a way
that every n present had his atten-
tion attra tied. Before they could dc.
eide In their minds what prompted
this exhibition on the part OF the big
man from Maine, the Speaker drawled
out in his Characteristic tone OF voice:
Excuse me, gentlemen, l was try
ing to find out what had become of
Dingley."
In an exciting debate in the House,
which was started by Mr.. Talbert, OF
South Carolina and Mr.. Pearson, OF
North Carolina, other members be.
came involved, and as time was being
wasted, Mr.. Dingley thought it his
duty to interjcct q motion to adjourn.
Hc made his motion just as some way
Of a member had gotten of that an
cient chestnut, "What did the gentle
man from North Carolina say to the
gentleman from South Carolina% In
chorus came from a number OF mem
bers, "It's "a long time between
drinks" Not knowing the applica'
ton, Gov. Dingley jumped to his feet
and said: "Mr. Speaker, then l move
