AN NARROW ESCAPE.

Sheriff Scott had very narrow es-
cape from death or serious injury at
the jail last Saturday evening. He had
taken some supper to +. b. Allen. who
is confined there, awaiting examination
before the Court for insanity, and was
putting things In shape TO lock up his
prisoner for the night. They were
both in the storeroom which is at the
entrance TO the jail, when Allen sud-
denly Rrasped an ak standing In one
corner with some other tools, and ad-
vanced upon Scott, with murderous In
tent. Tho latter, however, was too
close and rs the ak fell its handle struck
him on the shoulder and fell to the floor
behind him. lie caught the crazy man
by the throat, quickly overpowered
him ana lodged him in one of the iron
cells, whore no car neither harm him
self or any one else, That the man is
insane, there Ia not shadow OF a doubt
as the confinement of the past week has
made the evidences OF his unbalanced
condition much more apparent than
they were before he was taken into
custody.

OBITUARY
Robt. Stead Released from SUI
ferinp.

After lingering nearly four months
since the amputation OF his leg, Robt.
Stead passed away here about 5o'clock
last Tuesday morning. He had been
continually growing more feeble and
his demise was not a surprise to any one
familiar with his case.
Mr.. Stead was about 66 years OF age
and has been, since the early days, a
resident of the eastern part of this
county, where he was highly respected.
He was brought here about the 1st of
last January to suffer the amputation
OF his right leg, in which there was a
bad running sore, the result OF gun
shot wound, received 26 years ago. At
first It was thought that his wonderful
vitality would pull him through, but
the leg failed to heal properly and he
has slowly wasted away. We UNDER
stand that he has brothers living in In.
diana and Dakota, but none of them
came to his aid and all of the expenses,
except a small subscription from Snake
valley and vicinity, have been betrayed
by the County. Death came to him as a
relief from suffering peaceful slumber
after troubled dream. The funeral
took place from Munro's hotel at |
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, and not
withstanding the inclemency of the
weather. was well attended

First finding the child lying on the road
uninjured; then some so yards of the
road, the lifeless mangled corpse of Mrs.
Thomas. Dixie took the child to A
Young's where it was tenderly cared
for. George Young rode to Ruby to
inform the husband, and Dixie came on
to Cherry Creek to inform the citizens.
Immediately DR.. Ascher, Constable
Pierce and several others went to the
scene OF the accident. 1t was a sight
never to be forgotten young hand
some woman had been dragged to her
death through the sagebrush at the
heels of an infuriated horse. Her body
was literally denuded of its clothing:one
of her limbs torn from its socket, and
the whole body so torn that it had to
be sewed. But with a motherly instinct
she had saved her child.
The citizens were satisfied II was ae-
cidental death. The body was convey
ed to Mr.. Young's and later removed
to Ruby valley for burial.
Mrs. Thomas is the daughter of Jas.
McDougall of Newark valley, about q
years of age, and by all who knew her
esteemed most highly.
No inquest could be held on the re-
mains. For reasons ask our legislators.

Wednesday evening: A. r. Wammack,
VIM. Bruce Chas. A. Walker, Howard
X. Bane, Julius johnson. Jerome p.
Cooper, VIM. Sexton, Geo. Wilson and
A. A. Marshall. This is fine showing
for little place like this and shows
that patriotism is not all talk here after
all.
The petition which was circulated
here two weeks ago for the purpose of
securing a daily stage service between
Ely, Cherry Creek and the Wells has
met with nearly unanimous support all
along the line. At Wells there were
9s slgners; at Cherry Creek, liz; at Ely
ll6, making a total of 3s6 signatures.
This service is not only desirable, but
Is fast becoming a necessity 10 the rap
idly growing population of this section
of the county. We hope the depart
ment will act favoraby and grant our
petition.

phenomena. The lecture was highly
instructive and entertaining and met
with rounds of applause.
