MURDER.
A Comstock Piute Attempts to Kill
Five of His People Murderer
Well Known In This Section.

gil IN l MS SECTION.
A frightful attempt at murder was
made by a Piute Indian named Jack
Higgin Saturday night at the Indian
camp near the Divide reservoir.
The cause Of the attempt at murder
could not be learned, but Higgin first
attempted to kill his wife, Annie Cleve-
land, at their campoodie near Ward
tunnel. He used a knife on her and
slashed her across the breast, abdo-
mar and arms. and she will probably
die. She wa moved to the hospital,
where Drs. Mcdonald and Manson
dressed her wounds.
After cutting her and probably
thinking she was dead he crossed over
the hill by the reservoir to the camps
just below the hillside where he shot
four squaws and a buck and inflicted
several wounds on the head Of another
squaw by a blow from his gun.
The Piutes were sitting about in a
campoody, and he stepped to the door
and fired three shots from a breech-
loading shotgun loaded with birdshot,
and the small size Of the leaden miss
lies is all that saved the occupants
from instant death.
One squaw was peppered with the
shot across the stomach and was suf-
fering great pain. DR.. Manson, who
hurried to the scene was unable to
fortell the result Of the wound last
night. From the appearance Of the
wound a number Of the shot penetrated
the woman's stomach and results will
doubtless be fatal.
AT old squaw named Maggie was
shot in the left arm. and the. bones Of
that member are terribly shattered
Her arm will have to be amputated
and owing to her age she will hardly
be able to stand the shock.
Annie Smith was shot In the left
forearm, stomach and leg. The
wound in the stomach Is a very danger
Gus n as some Of the shot may have
penetrated to a vital spot. The
wounds on the arm and leg are very
painful but not dangerous.
Billy Dan, a nephew Of Annie
Smith. was shot in the right arm, back
and neck. He must have received
the contents Of one she'll. judging from
the number Of wounds on him. He
was expectorating blood which indi-
Gated that some of the missiles had
penetrated his lungs. and he was in
great agony.
Annie Bartlett attempted to escape
from the campoody when the shooting
started, and Eiiggin struck her on the
head with the gun, but she escaped
with slight scalp wounds.
After doing his bloody work, the
would-be murderer made his escape.
From what could be learned at the
scene he raj up the hill and passed the

have in the last year procured 800
patents for their clients, many Of them
for rejected inventions. C. C. Snow

ing patents through the Patent Office
but they insist that this locomotion is
better than ox-carting them, for by the
latter process the inventor often dies
