Two Indians Frozen to Death.

Last Sunday afternoon young Char
lie, Ddck Greek Charles boy, and an
other young Indian were going up the
trail through Sam Browns canyon,
when they noticed two horses tied to .
tree at point about = mile above the
flndaugo grounds. The boys mado q
search and soon found one OF the own
ers lying in heap, stiff and cold, about
100 yards from the horses, and little
ways further lay tho other on his face,
also frozen stifY. Investigation proved
that they we're two osceola indians,
-Shoshone Bill and his son. In their
pockets we're found two whiskey bottles
one. full and the other half full OF ''fre-
water" II is supposed that they were
on their way TO the iandango but got
drunk and for some reason d!smounted
where they were found and were over
come by the cold OF Saturday night.
The bodies were buried by the Indians
on Tuesday. Sheriff Scott made an in.
vestigation, but found no evidence OF
foul play.

The returns on Governor so far as
they have been received show that
Sadler had a plurality of 81, with 55
votes to hear from in Lincoln county
The oficial returns as published in the
Argonaut and Independent take sc off
from Sadler and from Mcmillan, which
cuts Sadler's plurality down to 10. A
gain OF 20 for McMillanis noted in Eu-
reka over and above the returns as re-
ported by telegraph, with So votes yet
to hear from in Lincoln and the soldier
vote yet to hear from. We don't give
it up yet, says the Reno Gazette.
Churchill county gave Sadler 40 and
Mcmillan 81, but the Official returns
give Sadler 80 and Mcmillan 95. This
would seem to put the latter gentleman
ahead.
Saturdays Carson Appeal claimed
that Sadler was $50 ahead at that time.
This doesn't agree with Gazette's state
ment at all.
OF the rest of the ticket, all of the
Silver party candidates except Cutting
are without doubt elected. Sam Da-
Wis claims to have plurality of 300
over Turrittin.
The Reno Journal is authority for
tho statement that Congressman New
lands told Governor Sadlsr that he was
not candidate for United States Sem
ator at this time. How about six weeks
from this time.
