NOT DE ABLY.

The extraordinary plea OF Gen.
Clarke made before Commissioner
Waldo at Rem. that steel knucnles
could O b. ~,laS~r! rs a dead .,
weapon because IN Y were no. innum-
Grated as such in the list of deadly
wea ons laid DOVE in the statues Of
Nevada, has been sustained by tie
Commissioner. This being good law,
any inStrument-ou side of a gun,
pistol or kuife-can be used with i'm
punity in this State, so long as it is
not specifically named in the statute
books, and if TIE victim Of the assault
lives the weapon is not deadly. and it
is only a case Of simple assault and
battery.
The reason the brass and steel
knuckles was not Enumerated in the
list was probably owing to the fact
hal when the statute was drawn,
Nevada was free from the class of
people h use these sort of weapons
They were first brought to Cal fornia
with the advent of the Sydney ducks,
and soon became a popular weapon
along the Barbery coast and the city
front, but the general sense of manli-
ness and fair play prevalent 10 Ne

duced by an ofhcer of the Uuited

Prospectors Wanted.

The one thing that impressed Mr..
Loder more than ANYTHING else in hia
recent visit to T~uscarora was the alb
OF p%rospectors. He save that in
his travels Of about $50 miles along
the belt he met one lone prospectnr.
b the country needed, ne declared
was 500 Colorado prospectols turned
loose 10 this field to show the people
what they have. For indications of
mineral wealth he says that he has
never seen anything before in all bis
experience to equal this diatrict. Mr..
Loder was enthuse1 with the pros
poets at Tuscarora, and from his
study OF the formation he believes
that it is one belt all the way to Gold
creek. He Dol a number of samples
from claims over there and the re-
turns, some times an ounce in gold
n several hundred ounces in silver
make him think that Tuscarora. even
with its record Of thirty millions still
has a great future before it. But
Prospactors are certainly needed all
along the belt to open up the lodges
before capital will take hold. Mining
men are already here and their one
complaint is that there is not even a
ten-foot hole for them to look az. TT
must be borne in mind that the old
mining law Was against the develop.
ment OF the claims aud that grouI d
was held for years without any work,
his tended to keep prospectors out.
But the new law has changed matters.
Colorado prospectors are on their wav
here and before another year the fame
OF Elko county as a gold producer
will spread all over the world-Go,d

SENSATION At CHURCH.

Mosushiner Captured While Leaving the
Bulldog
WINSTON, N. c., Aug. 2-There WAS
q lively sensation at Oak Ridge church,
Stokes County, about l o'clock yester-
day. The annual session of the Pilot
Mountain Baptist Association had just
closed and the delegates and members
of the congregation were leaving for
their respective homes. when Mr..
George Freddy, the new Deputy Mar
shall for Stokes, arrested Jim Taylor
q celebrated bl0ckader.
The deputy had two officers with
him, and when he called upon the
blockader to surrender, Taylor rolled
out of his buggy in an instant and
drew pistol. Before he had time to
use it, hewever, Marshall Freddy fired
upon Taylor, the ball going throug
the hand in which the blockader held
his shooting iron. This caused Taylor
to drop his pistol. In an instant the
officer and his assistants were on top
of Tay lOr, and lively tussle followed
for about ten minutes. There were
many pistols flying in the air, women
and children were screaming, and the
situation was anything but pleasant
even for spectators.
The officers finally tied Taylor and
he was placed in q buggy and carried
to jail at Danbury. A report was
brought here today that some of Tay-
lor's friends made an attack on the Of
ficers while they were en- route to jail
and that several men on both sides Y ere
wounded

the WORDS OF CHRIST

Found Recorded on Papyri Eound on the
borders OF the Libvan Desert,
A correspondent of the New York
Sun sends the following cablegram
from London:
Several weeks ago l cabled the
news of the wonderful discoveries
made in January last by Messrs.
Grendell and Hunt on the borders of
the Libyan Desert, of the oldest pap
yri known bearing tho words Of
Christ. The value of this find in
the interest it arouse in the whole
Christian world proves inestimable.
1t comprises q dozen leaves, each 81
by 81 inches in size, remarkably
we'll preserved, and clearly written
in unical characters of the ancient
Greek. It dates about sixty years
after the crucifixion.
1t has easily been translated, and
is found to consist Of detached say
ings of Christ, without context, each
beginning with the words, Jesus
saith" The translation will soon be
published by the Egypt exploration
fund. An immense edition at q few
pence per copy will be provided, SO
as to reach everybody.
Professor Petrie's winter explora-
tons in Egypt have also been won
derfully fruitful. The bulk of his
collection is in two groups, separated
by gap of more than thirty centu-
ries, the later documents being an
enormous mass or papyrl from the
Roman CITY of Behnesa, west of the
Nile, about 100 miles south of Cairo,
and the earlier a great variety of OBJ
! jscts which throw q food of light
upon the habits of a people, evidently
in a high state of civilization, who
occupied lower Egypt centuries be
fore Abraham and almost as far back
as the date assigned by Archbishop
Usher to the creating of the world
The papyri comprise 600 docu-
ments. They were not found in a
secret chamber or q cave, but were
mixed up with the soil. Evidently
they represented the clearing out OF
a library, whether by the hands oi
some reformer or q barbarian who
hated knowledge. The rolls repre-.
sent a wide range of literature, his
tory, law and ethics. Besides, there
are a number of earlier Christian
documents among them, logia and
anecdotes which were current in the
churches at a very early date, and
in some cases may have been con
suited by the authors or the fou,
gospels.
The contents of this library prob
ably range from the first to the sixth
century. 1t has furnished to the lit
erary archaeologist at least as many
papyri as have hitherto existed il
the whole of Europe. The discov
erer expects that ten to twenty years
will be occupied before the papyr
are fully deciphered.
