Mrs. McGincy, his wife and stepson,

Jose Tuesday night. was still as large

The officers are in hot search for
Durham. They believed at noor that
they are on his trail. No facts will
be gwen out for publication, but they
say IiAat they have struck the tran for
certain. The horse he rode has not
been found. At least, If it has. the
matter has been kept secret. No
new developments have come to light
but the theory is now advanced that
Durham committed the deed to So
cure the McGlincy property. This is
why the child, his infant, was left, as
it becomes the sole heir.
He did not intend be kill the hired
man. He killed the women in the
house with an ak. There was no
noise. He attacked McGlincy with
an ak but the blow was glancing.
Wells came in and grappled with him,
and ne had to shoot. This made a
noise and Durham shot the hired man
to prevent him from being witness,
There was rumor at l o'clock that
Dunham had been captured, but the
Sheriff's office denies this.

A Bank clerk Missing.

Harry Brown, Clerk at the Bull
lion Bank, Carson, for many years is
missing. The Appeal says that Brown
lost his place at the Bank about two
weeks ago and left the same night
for San Francisco with his wife. Mrs.
Brown returned in few days and
was unable TO say where her husband
was. His accounts SO far as examin-
ed by the Bank officials have been
found all right. The reason given for
Browns discharge was his riotous
mode of living and the vast expenses
he incurred. Judge Belknap, Browns
father-in law, stated to the Appeal
that the reasons given him for Browns
discharge were merely personal. and
not on account Of any financial diff
culties with the bank people. The
Judge also said that neither he nor
Mrs. Brown knew Browns where
abouts. The last heard from Brown
he Yves at the Lane & Hobart mine
Tucson, Arizona, looking for work.
Browns property in Carson has been
attached by Abe COIN, one of his
creditors.

OF Mississippi valley and Eastern
states.
OF late there has been no demand
for horses on the Pacific coast, and it
was generally believed that steam
and electricity, which have supplant-
horsehesh 10 the cities, would also
take it's place in the country, as there
was very little demand for it any
where. AS a result it is estimated
that the decrease in the number of
horses in the United States last year
was about 225,OQO.
Now horse dealers in the East are
getting alarmed at the outlook. There
is yet and always will be demand
for horses and it Is believed that the
demand within year or two will be
greater than tie supply. Buyers from
Denver and other places are purchas-
ing horses IN the eastern part of the
state, and it is. within the range of
probability that Nevada horses will
be In demand at fair prices within
year.-Reno Journal.

a brighton Calamity.

A terrible cyclone struck st. LOUIS
about $50 Wednesday afternoon de-
stroying a vast amount of property
and killing nearly 300 people. The
afternoon had been one of intense
heat with now and then puffs of wind
coming by turns from all points of the
compass. Late in the afternoon
shifting wind blew and storm cen
ter de veloped, and the fury of the ele-
ments was borne within the city linn
its. In the west thunder storm de-
veloped, but the early mutterings Inc
Dictated nothing more alarming than
a downp"nr with electrical displays.
This rain cloud came up slowly at
first from the west, beyond Forest
Park. $3.50 E ~
As the black cloud grew higher its
arch embraced more territory to the
north and south. A strong wind from
the east began to blow right in the
face Of the storm. 1t was the lower
current. Suddenly the wind stopped
blowing from the east and there
swept from the northwest terrific
gale, which made the best built
structures tremble. With the hur-
ricane, for that was the first form the
storm took when it broke over
the western part Of the city, came

and the currents shifted In The
southwest there came into existence
a storm cloud. with the essential feat

This second storm burst upon the city
from the southwest. 1t came in on
South Lafayette Park, struck the city
and tore way through the town to
the river by a northern course. 1t
wrought such havoc that it will leave
traces in that part Of the city which
lies east Of Seventh street to Eads
bridge. Boats we're ground to pieces
or capsized. The tornado crossed the
river, demolished the upper work at
the east end of the bridge, and then
wreaked it's fury on East st. Louis.
Shortly after 6 o'clock, with tile sun
more than an hour above the WESTERN
horizon, there fell upon the city
clouds so densely black that it gave
place to the darkness Of midnight.
That was the precursor of d tornado
from the southwest. The hurricane
from the northwest gave the western
portion of the city severe shaking
