The complaint further says that on the
23d day of July, 1898, the court heard pro-
ceedings and decided that Whitney, Ley
den and Robinson were not entitled to the
injunction previously issued at their in
stigation and dissolved the order; that
Burns transferred to plaintiff all his right
to the ground in controversy.
Plaintiff further alleges that the IN
junction damaged him more than $500 for
the reason that the expense of defending
his title to the property was about $4OO;
and for the time he was deprived of the
5000, because he then had con-
tracts for stone which the injunction pre-
vented him from filling. Besides the
amounts named he asks for judgment
against the bondsmen for the amount OF
the bond.

NEVADANS RETURN
Welcomed at San Francisco by
a Strong Delegation from
the Sagebrush State,

The transport Ohio arrived on the
9Th from Manila with the Nevada
Cavalry and 243 discharged soldiers
on board. The voyage took thirty
eight days. As soon q il became
known that the transport was nearing
port, Governor Ssdler, Lieutenant
Governor Judge. Congressman New
lands and a party Of fifty representa-
tives from the Sagebrush State went
out to meet the c%avalrymen on the
tugboat Governor Mcdowell. About
the same number of people, represent
ing the Citizens Reception Committee,
went out on the Governor Markham.
On board the Markham was a band,
and its music started the soldiers
dancing and cheering. There was not
a sick man among the Nevadans, and
so the welcoming parties were per-
mitted to board the transport after the
quarantine inspection had been COM
pleted. The Nevada delegation decor
ated each man with a bronze medal Of
honor and sprig OF sagebrush tied with
red, white and blue ribbons.
During the war the principal work
of the Nevadans was scout duty. The
troop took part in a number OF engage
ments, but lost no men. Two men,
bers of the troop, William Bruce and
Elmer Honnyman, were captured by
the Filipinos. Only one death occurred
in the ranks of the Nevsdans, that OF
Andrew Nicholson, who succumbed to
typhoid fever. The troop is in COM
mand Of Captain Linscott.
The Nevada Cavslrymen were land
ed next morning and marched to the
Palace hotel, where an elaborate
breakfast had been provided by the
Nevada delegation in their honor. The
men we're enthusiastically received all
along the line OF march. Csnnons were
fred and steam whistles and sirens
were blown constantly during the
progress OF the march. The breakfast
room was crowded with Nevadans, and
speeches were made by prominent
people. The soldiers marched to the
Preside late in the day and went into
camp. They will remain for some
time before being mustered out.

LONDON, Nov. A special dispatch
from Washington asserts that the

badly crippled that he could scarcely walk.
One moment, Jim says he has the govt, a

SOLAR HEAT FOR SMELLING.

Some Chicago inventors are said to
have built a mirror ten feet in dame
ter, which has a rejecting area OF
eighty-four square feet. 1t throws a
beam Of light which when focused on
a reduction lens melts the most re-
fractory metals which have long defied
human skill to fuse. such as tantalum.
orbium, palladium and ormium.
This mirror is said to beat the
electric furnace. Its rays can be con-
centrated over an area of one to twelve
inches. 1t has driven a solar engine,
has generated electricity and has
lighted buildings by reflected light.
A bigger mirror. to be fifteen feet in
diameter, is now being made to be
used for business purposes.

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA

The most startling news from the
South African war received here last
Saturday was to the effect that Lady
smith had fallen and a large number
of the British had been killed and
wounded and the balance taken
prisoners. This news proved untrue.
The British in fact completely ronted
the Beers at Bester's Hill by q we'll
planned attack on the morning OF
the 2nd instant. After a severe
cannonading from the artillery, which
was answered by the Beers, the
British cavalry suddenly rushed in
upon the leader and drove all before
them. The entire equipment of the
Bester's Hill camp fell into the hands
of the Britons.
A better feeling now prevails in
England's war office. General Bull
er's force will soon be in a position
to assist the forces of General White

the uniting of the.two large forces.

MURDER NEAR AUSTIN.
Fiendish Work of an Indian in
Lander County.


A murderous Indian, who has been
hunted and pursued across the wilds
of Nevada for two days by a band oil
cowboys and Indian t-ailers, was
landed in Jail at Austin, Nevada last
Sunday. The crime charged to the
Indian is atrocious beyond belief. lie
is charged with a double murder, and
deprived b. Del Crosse, q section fore
man in the employ Of the Nevada
Central Railroad OF his wife and a IL
months-old child. Del Crosse and
his family lived at a station on the
Nevada Central Railroad. about 4S
miles from Austin. On Wednesday
night OF last week an Indian rode up
to Del Crosses home and asked for
shelter for the night, and his request
was granted. After breakfasting
the following morning Del Crosse
started down the track TO his daily
labor. The Indian at the same time
rode away on his horse in another
direction. Upon returning home in
the evening an awful sight greeted the
father s gaze. In a little chicken
house he found the body of his wife
suspended by the neck to a rafter.
Her face had been battered beyond
recognition, and death must have re-
suited from the brutal injuries thus
inflicted. He found the body Of his
eldest child lying on bed in the house
showing the little one had been stran'
gled. An infant child was found I'M
harmed in its crib. All the indications
pointed to the Indian visitor of the
previous evening as the perpetratol
Of the double murder.
1t is supposed that the Indian sus-
pected Del Crosse OF being possessed
of considerable money. The Indiar
was captured without much difficult,
in the Cortez mountains. There seemI
TO be no doubt as to the guilt of thu
Indian, and the feeling was intens'
throughout Lander county.
LATER.-Sheriff Watt OF Lande
county succeeded in running dowI
Indian Frank, who it has developed
is the murderer and took him to AustiI
last Saturday night. The Indian wal
found near Grass Valley in Landei
county. Del Crosse identified him al
the Indian he had sheltered on the
night previous to the murder. The
Indian was logged in his denial o
guilt for a couple of days, but has
finally weakened and confessed tC
having committed the crime. He
states that after leaving the house in
the morning, he missed his jack knife,
and returned to look for it, and after
asking Mrs. Del Crosse about it and
still failing to find it, he became angry
at her and charged her with wanting
to keep it. He then follows with
details OF the crime.
Excitement is intense at Austin, and
there is little doubt as to the fate Of
the Indian if opportunity should offer
