WILL HOKE'S DEATH.

Louis papers about how William F.
Hoke met his death are no doubt
highly colored, consequently we
will give only short sketch of the
occurrence as we CLEAN ii from the
Post. Dispatch:
"Hokc had lived in st. Louis for
three years. His home was in Bax-
ter Springs, Kan. Several months
ago he was laid off by the Wagner
Electric Supply Company, owing
to dull times, and lie only secure l
work again last Monday.
"nlouday evening there arrived
from Joplin an old boyhood friend
of Hoke, in the person of Dick NJ.
Wright. He is n travelling man out
of work. He came here looking for
n position and stopped temporarily
at Hursts Junior Hotel, Sixth and
Lucas avenue.
"wednesday night IIoke met
Wright at the hotel aud they de-
cidcd to look over the town. Wright
had the money and Hoke the expe-
rience.
About 1880 o'clock the two went
east on Chestnut street and when
they reached Jefferson avenue be.
came involved in quarrel with
some parties. Wrigh, was fright
cncd and hid until the trouble was
over. Hoke aud Wright then start.

somebody behind them. They ran
a short distance when Ilolic said:
Dick, am shot.
'"No, you're not replied Wright.
taking hold of him. Then he saw
that something was wrong aud led
him into No. los engine house at
Jefferson avcuucand Walnut street.
"Iokc immediately began failing
rapidly. The police came in and
summoned an ambulance. by tie
time the wounded man reached the
hospital he was unconscious.
DIR. Suffer found that he had rot
been shot. He had three stab
wounds on the right side.
Then the police began their
roundup TO find out who the
wounded mans ASSISTANTS were.
Mystery developed everything.
John Koran. night bartender for
Ransom, near whose place the
trouble occurred, was taken to the
Four Courts and examined by Chief
Kelly. Nothing-was obtained fro III
him. He had never seen the par.
ties before, nor had he heard any
fight. He heard the shots, but did
not 20 ont to see what they were.
He was released. Detectives Cock.
ing and keely were trying Ia find
him again Thursday forenoon.
they were also trying to locate
Proprietor Ransom. but he was not
To be found.
Several other parties were ar
rested, but after examination were
released"
Later news is to the effect that
Frank Williams, mulatto musi-
clan in saloon near by. committed
the crime. lie has confessed. Ac-
cording 10 his story, Hoke was
sirug gling with fellow named
Hogan and was getting the best of
him. At this juncture Williams
ran up behind Hoke and grabbing
him by the collar stabbed him in
the right side three times.
The trouble was witnessed by
James Il. McDonnough, Il police
sergeant, but for some reason he
made no attempt to interfere with
or arrest the murderer, and in fact
said nothing about the matter until
after the confession. McDonnough
has been suspended from duty aud
may be held as an accessory.

w. A. Braman, trustee of Spring.
valley township, was in town Tues
day and said the material had been
ordered to make some badly needed
repairs on the Spring river bridge
at Baxter. A portion of the eastern
half of the bridge timbers are so
badly rotted that Mr.. Braman says
Il would be unsafe to pull a very
heavy load over them. The repair
work will probably begin in about
two weeks and as Il will be necessa-
ry to stop travel over the bridge
for several days there will doubt
less be some loud kicking done by
bicyclists aud others who may wish
to travel over the river.

The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1897-09-01

Two years ago an element in the
southern part Of the county favored
a geographical division and went
so far as to prepare a bill for intro
duction in the legislature to secure
it.
The matter was new then and the
the was not ripe for action of that
character and a little preliminary
inquiry resulted in pocketing the
bill altogether. 1t was not intro
duced, but instead an Act was pass
ed to test the sentiment of the peo-
pie Of the county on the subject, to
be voted on at the general election
which will be held next November.
The full text of the bill so passed
is as follows.
Section l. The County Clerk of
the County Of Lincoln, in this State,
in preparing the ballots in said
county TO be voted at the general
election to be held A. ID. 1898, shall
place thereon the following question
to be submitted to the electors
of said Lincoln County at the said
general election towit: "Shall the
County of Lincoln be divided.
Sec. 2. Said question shall be
submitted to the electors of said
Lincoln County at the general cleo
ton to be held A. ID. 1898 in man
ner and form complying with the
requirements and the provisions of
an Act relating to elections and to
more fully secure the secrecy of the
ballot, approved March 18th. 1891, |
and of the various Acts supplement
tary there to and amendatory there
Of.
Sec. 3. The vote upon the said
question shall be canvassed by the
same authority and in the said man
ner as the vote for State officers is
'anvassed, and the Secretary of State
shall, within five days after the con-
1ening OF the Nineteenth Session of
he Legislature of the State of Neva-
la, certify and transmit to each
branch thereof the result of the
'fficial canvass of the vote upon the
laid question.
Thus far we have heard no men
ion of the matter but it will need
o be disposed of. Those who favor
ID the matter two years ago have
aid nothing about it since. Per-
laps the building of the Utah &
Pacific in this direction will create
enewed interest in the subject.

cURLED HORsEHAIR.
The Greatest Amount of 1t Is oh.
tanned from south
America.

South America furnishes the greatest
amount and best quality of curled horse
hair, used for filing mattresses and
stuffing furniture. On the wide pampa
many thousands of horses are bred es-
pecially for the hair of their names and
tails. These, between the round-ups.
which sometimes do not occur in three
or four seasons, grow to great length,
but owing TO the lack of care and the
state of the ''camps," as the open coun-
try is called, the hair is usually tangled
in what seems an ineXtricable mass. All
over the camps grow many kinds of
burrs and thistles, and the animals as
they Craze or roll themselves about be-
come covered with them. Their coats
are naturally rough, the hair growing
in an uneven, shaggy way. Stuck all
over with burrs and with name and tail
matted into nearly unwieldy masses,
the poor creatures present a comical
appearance. After they are shorn they
seem to delight in the freedom of
cropped necks and short tails.
The hair when cut off is freed from
dirt and roughness of all kinds and
wound into ropes, by which means it is
made curly. 1t sells for 3s or 4s cents a
pound. The longest strands are kept
separated, and used for horse hair fur
niture, cloths, etc.
