POOR A SERVICE.

Winnemucca Silver State, Nov. 20:
There is complaint all over the State of the
miserable mail service Nevada is getting.
This is a matter which is deserving of a
strict investigation by the Government
officials whose business it is to look after
the postal service. The postal service Of
the United States is recognized as being q
nearer approach to perfection than that of
any other country on the globe. Why
should not Nevada be given the same SER
vice as other States! Incompetents are
not taken into the railway mail service, SO
the only explanation is that of wanton
carelessness on the part of the mail clerks
on the run through Nevada. Their care.
~lessness is a near approach to criminality,
and should be called to the attention of the
Postofice Department in a manner that
will secure the prompt correction of the
evil.

there are at present over 10000 head OF

this OCCURS they can be driven down into
the valleys Of Nye county, their intended

The question was finally decided in favor
of the breweries. They bind themselves,
however, not TO employ any non-union men
in the future. All vacancies are to be filed
by union employees.
Another circumstance which has caused
much trouble in the arriving at an amicable

THE KILLING OF DIR. ALsoP.
An Explanation of the Cause of His
Murder.

Louisville, KY, July 1.-THE man VIII
liams who yesterday surrendered himself
to the authorities at Cleveland, Miss, say
ing that he was one of the assassins who
shot Dr. W. N. Alsop. refuses to discuss
the case further than to say that he had
cause to kill the physician.
The cause of the shooting of Dr. Alsop
dates back several years ago. Some years
ago DR., Alsop was conversing with an old
man who conducted grocery store near
Shaw. The son of rich old planter, with
two companions. came into the store and
after quarrel with the old man assault
ed him. DR.. Alsop interfered and ad-
ministered a severe chastising to the
young planter. The latter left the store,
swearing vengeance Early next morning
he called on the doctor and informed him
that one of the two would eat breakfast
in hell" AT this both drew their revolv-
ers and opened fire. The shot fired by the
doctor struck his antagonist and killed
him instantly. At the trial which followed
the physician was acquitted.
The young mans father said that he
would yet be revenged, and yesterday S
killing resulted.

Brown was seen to tremble and pre-
sented a wrecked appearance, shaking very
badly. He sank down on one side but
he gained strength and when he was taken
to the jail he walked fairly well for a
man to receive such a verdict when he
expected to be acquitted. The jury took
two ballote, first standing eleven 10 one
for conviction, reaching vote of guilty
on the second ballot.
The court room was crowded and ex-
pressions of approval were heard on every
side. The argument of States Attorney
Kinks is regarded as one of the ablest
ever heard in this county.
