AN ELKO MURDER.
CoI0red Man Killed on Ranch North of
Wells.

Yesterdays Elko Independent says:
Late Tuesday evening the Independent
learned from j. w. Truett of Deeth
that murder was committed Sunday
at the Vineyard ranch, belonging to
John Sparks, about fifty miles north
of Wells. From the meager particulars
given US it appears that the foreman
and gang of vaqueros left the Vine
yard ranch to go to Salmon river to
do some work, leaving two colored men
at the ranch. When they returned Sun
day they found a pool of blood in the
corral, and on looking further found
the body of the murdered man in the
stable. The man had been brutally
kicked about the head and face. The
body was still warm when found. The
murderer had disappeared. !. A hasty
examination was made and a messenger
was soon ON the way to Wells to notify
the officers. The news reached Wells
Monday evening and Constable Moore
started in search of the murderer. The
murderer, man named Saul, was cap
tured at Tecoma Tuesday night and
taken to Wells for examination. The
man he killed had been a trusted en-
ployee on the Sparks ranch for years.
The motive for the deed is not known.

the realm, whom the Prince of Wales,
now King Edward VII, had selected

THE EVEN TENOR
OF THEIR WAY
A Plan to Vary 1t Being Considered
by Members of Fire Department.

A series of banquets by members
of the Fire department may be among
the entertaining features Of the city
next winter.
The occupation Of fireman is Of
ten monotonous one, with little be-
sides occasional fires to break the
even tenor of his way. Except for one
day week, he Is constantly on duty,
day and night. There are often weeks
in which there Is not single alarm,
and the ordinary chores of the fire
men and their ordinary pastmes don't
begin to occupy their time. Nobody
can read constantly and enjoy it, nor
can they play cards or checkers suffi-
ciently to keep time passing pleasant
ly. They are not allowed to gamble.
But the firemen don't ask for flow
cry beds of ease, nor all play; they
are ready for duty at all times, and
always perform the duty. Akron has
good firemen, But they can't help
thinking that "All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy"
And so the firemen are thinking of
raising money by means of banquets
to increase their scope of everyday
pleasantly of life.
Money will enable them to equip
all the engine houses with pool and
