rice Wentworth, told Justice Hawthorne
Wednefday afternoon all about the alter
cation which occurred between them
last Friday and which led Mr.. Chappell
to make complaint against Ward asking
that he be bound over to keep the peace.
The testimony of the two men as to
what occurred was in direct contradic-
ton. Nobody saw the scrap and the
justice had to decide between the rea-
tion of the events as told him by the two
parties Interested. MIR. Chappell claimed
on the witness stand that early in the
morning in question he was driving his
band up a hill, when he came upon
Ward with his band. that Ward sent his
dog around the Chappell flock and got
the two bands mixed with the result
that an alteration ensued, during which
Ward pulled knife and threatened to
cut his heart out. Ward made it a little
stronger for his side testifying that
Chappell caught him by the shirt collar
during the alteration, ripping his shirt,
and that Chappell had knife in his
hand with which he struck defendant,
once upon the jaw and twice upon the
head, the weapon being closed at the
time. Both men admitted that they
used strong language at the time of the
fuss and agreed upon the number OF
sheep mixed, one hundred Of Chappell's
band with the band Ward was caring for
and seven of the Ward band with Chap
pelrs sheep.
Justice Hawthorne released Ward
from custody, but taxed UP the costs to
him.

WOLF HUNTS ON SAGE CREEK.
Beasts Kill Cattle and Ranchers 60 After

T.. G. Steele of Sage Creek canyon
last Saturday brought tive coyote hides
to the county clerk and told story OF
wolf hunting. Wolves and coyotes have
been attacking stock for two months
past and Bent & Williams and Wallace
A. Bent, heavy stock owners Of the can
yon, have lost over thirty head to the
beasts, and the sheepmen have also re-
ported steady losses Two ranchers re-

HAS HE SHUTFLED OFF
Fred Lavelle, the Old Soldier Who Gets
Drunk and Wants to Die, Has
Disappeared.
CAN NOT BE LOCATED
He Hasn't Been Seen Since the Day He
Tried to Cremate Himself
in Jail.

Fred Lavell, the old soldier who has
attracted considerable public attention
lately, first by trying to get Ed Olcctt to
hang him and later by setting fire to his
bedding while locked in the city Jail for
drunkenness, has disappeared and fears
are entertained that he has finally put
into execution his threats Of suicide.
When last week Thursday Lavcll was
let out Of the cooler, after the few hours
incarceration which came SO near termi-
mating in his incarceration, he sat for
long time in front Of the postot&ice. He
was still stupefied by liquor, and dozed
along most of the afternoon. That vas
the last seen Of him alive, SO far as the
police authorities can find, and diligent
inquiry yesterday failed 70 elicit any
clue to his whereabouts.
At the time Lavell got On a spree and
asked Ed Olcott to end his career with
rope he was living in shack in the
northern end Of town. This spring he
went out to James Hogans to herd
sheep, but was soon back again and
since that time has been living il Davis
vile. Yesterday the shack which it IS
claimed Lavell owned, was found to be
empty, the glass broken out Of the door
and windows and an old pair OF rusty
bed springs lying on the floor the only
evidence that the place had ever been
inhabited. Diligent inquiry among the
neighbors failed to elicit any informa-
ton about the man. No one could be
found who knew person by the name
of Lavell although John Weaver, who
was acquainted with him, was sure 81
his place of residence. Some boys ir
, the neighborhood said an old man wa'
} in the habit Of sleeping in the shack, bu
= they did not know his name.
Previous to the spree upon whic
:, Lavell desired to hire man to end hi
. days, the old man was never known t
! drink any. Something at that tim
seemed to be preying upon his mind AM
a he was deeply depressed. Since then h
has been drinking hard and it is fearc
4 that the debauch, during which he cam
so near being burned up, has led to. h
j final determination in some manner I
", vet unknown. Lavell was veteran {
the civil war, serving in a Michigan re.
j iment, and since coming to Red Lode

to fill the place of short stop. MIR. Storey,
who is an old friend of w. L. Perham,
will be employed by the latter and the
gate receipts and the reserve now in the
treasury left over from last year will be
depended upon to make up the differ
ence between the sum Mr.. Perham
stands willing to pay and the amount
for which Mr.. Storey can be prevailed
upon to come here for the season.
