County Recorder Hill has received
a letter from Arthur McCumiskey Of
27l Stevenson St, San Francisco, a"k-
ing for information in regard to his
brother, John McCumiskey. In his
letter the first named states that a
party Of four p]rospectors were sup
posed to have left Winnemucca in the
latter part of 1890 or early in 1891.
The party included three Murphys
and John McCumiskey. Unverified
reports of the expedition stated that
they suffered from cold and two Of the
prospectors died Anyone knowing
anything Of this matter would favor
Mr.. McCumiskey by addressing him
as above, as he is very anxious to
know whether bis brother is alive or
dead.

QUEER CASE
What a Lead Dollar Did in Reno


The case Of J. C Clemons, charged
with passing counterfeit money in
Reno, is abnnt as queer a cast Of the
kind as ever came before the Z. s.
Court. Clemens was charged with
having passed a counterfeit dollar Oh
the Salvation Army barracks 10 Reno
for whict. be got IS cents in change.
His story IN the stand Was that he
was at the barracks one evening
about the first Of the month, where he
went to hear the singing, and being
something Of a singer himself con-
cluded to exercise his vocal organs in
the praises of the Lord. While there
a progressing young lady came
round passing the tamhorine, which
is equivalent to a contribution plate in
other Churches. His companion vas
a one-armed telegraph operator, and
the operator handing him Il dollar
told him to = p it on the plate and de-
maud rs CT - change.
He did 6 90 the q armed man
said he COZ tht four-bits of it for
his troubI' A. le other party owed
him none {" night the four-bits
was a liqui !, Of a portion Of the
debt. After wing the change the
one-armed man said:
"Hell will pop here in a minute, let's
get out of this
Fearing the Internal explosion
prognosticated he 'ducked his nut
out The TIVE then ran down into
Chinatown fearing the wrath to come.
Defendant said he did not know the
character Of the bogus dollar when he
gave it to the angel of salvation in
the barracks.
The one-armed man took the stand
and said that he got the dollar at a
faro game. He passed in a five, got
two dollars worth Of white chips and
was paid 50 90 in change. He found
one was bogus, and charged the
dealer with passing it on him, but was
bluffed out with threats and BULLDOG
ing.
Some Of the testimony was riddled
with such strong slang that it had to
be translated to the jury.
The jury seemed puzzled to know
which story to believe and after being
out all night disagreed.

RENO ri SOME.
The Staid Old Town Wants a
FistIc Festival.

The staid old Riverside town, which
made such a fight against CaTson's
glove contests, now wants some OF the
pie herself. The following is from
the Call:
The fstic festival held at Carson In
March will not touch in point of
variety OF sport a tournament which
will be given by the sporting frater-
nifty Of Reno in July.
P. J. DoDohoe, the architect who
constructed the arena in Carson, says
that the Reno pc Jple are determined to
out rival their neighbOrs. and with
that object in view have negotiated
with him to cor struct a rand hotel
connecting with the arena in which
games of all kinds will b. held.
Il have no hesitation i'll saying
that Reno will be The Monte Carlo Of
the Pacific Coast" said Mr., DonOhoe
in a manner that signiiied that he
meant every word he uttered OF the
subject

which will be Incorporated in a few

commencing on July J, which will at
tract lovers Of different varieties of
sport from ell parts OF the country.
In July there are thousands OF
pleasure-seekers rusticatiGg at the
lakes and mountain resorts, and of
curse a grand carnival Of sport
which the Reno people contemplate
giving cannot fail to induce those
seekers Of health and pleasure to visit
Reno, which is within easy reach of
Lakes Bonner, Independence, Web
Der and GahOe.
Besides the lovers OF good sport
will journey from all parts OF the
coast, as railroad travel will be low,
and the attraction will be Of such a
nature as to induce sporting men to
visit the Monte Carlo Of the far
West.
Now I understand that negotiations
will be Immediately entered into be-
tween the managers of the most prom
inent pugilists OF America and the
Reno CLUB with a view of having the
best possible attractiOns-that is, Of
course, pugilistically speakinE-at
Reno in July. If possible Joe God
dard and Peter Maher, Jeffries and
Sharsey, Lavigne and Cans and
Green and Ryan will be matched to
box to a finish.
There will be a grand tug-of-wsr
tournament between teams represent
ing some Of the large cities Of the
West. A day Of wrestling matches,
including catch-as-catch can, Greco
Roman, Cornish and collar-and-elbow
styles, mounted broadsword contests,
and possibly a live-bird pigeon con.
test.
well. in fact. all varities Of sport
that will attract public attention will
be Introduced during the first week in
July.
Il will leave for Reno in a few days
to look after the construction Of the
hotel and the arena, which will be
built within the ground that is now
surrounded by the old walls of the un-
finished State prison.
you a rest assured that the Reno
people are determined to be in the
swim, and I have every reason to be-
lIeye tina the CHM will srare NO ey-
pense in procuring the best attract
ions that can be got for the July car

Faster Day.

Why the anniversary Of a birth
should fall OF different days is a puz-
zle to most people. Easter Day has a
sort OF sliding scale Of appearances
and is governed by the noon.
The rule that Easter Day is always
the first day after the paschal full
moon, i. e., the full that hap
pens upon or the next day after the
21st of March, and il a full moon hap
pens upon a Sunday. Easter Day is
the Sunday after.
The most characteristic rite of this
season is the use Of eggs, which no
doubt originally smybolized the re-
v%ivication Of nature, the springing
forth OF life in spring. Tomorrow
will be Easter Day.

CHAPTER V.

Tete-chauve, when he found that his
young master was brooding the thought
of renewing the feud, grew melancholy
and silent. He had no more stories to
tell, no more songs to sing. True, he
did not abandon his "quills," ;" but the
notes he piped from that rude syrinx
were as doleful as the tremulous voice
of the swamp screech owl His whole
soul had become absorbed in his young
master, and the thought of any harm be-
falling him was the most distressing
that could come to Tete-chauve.
Toulme de Blieu was woefully tor
mented by the predicament in which he
now found himself. He very much de-
sired, in pursuance of the family habit,
to kill this last remaining male Coup
court, but he well knew that to do it
was to lose Anais forever. He found
that his mother was very anxious that
he should abandon the feud and aban-
don Anais as we'll. In his distress he
went to old Tete-chauve for advice.
Poor old negro! He did not know what
to say. For once in his life he was
without an expedient in the face Of an
exigency. He stood with his head-that
smooth old head with its halo of white
wool-bowed in perplexity and silence.
Toulme turned away.
