day indicates that grading will start
within tho next six days. The road must

Murder at Tonopah.

Tonopah had Il murder on the Fourth
of July. just before the FIRE works in
the evening Frank Smith, a blacksmith,
assaulted Walter Dunn with a knife and
before outsiders could interfere cut him
five or six times. One thrust penetrated
the abdomen causing death the next
morning. Smith was arrested and dur
ing the night was taken out OF town by
officers to escape the wrath OF Dunn's
friends. There is considerable excite.
ment in Tonopah over the murder.
The murdered man was twenty-three
years of age and very popular. His rel
atives live IN Virginia City. He served
10 Troop NJ. of Torrey's Rough Riders
during the Spanish War. He was a very
quiet and pleasant young man when So
Der. but very quarrelsome when drunk.
A later dispatch says Deputy Sheriff
Thompson Was seriously wounded in
the encounter by Smith who was known
by the alias of Lucy at Cripple Creek.
The tragedy was witnessed by 500 people
and the dispute was over a rock. drilling
contest award.
Dunn was stabbed by Smith while
walking down the main street. Smith
was grabbed by the surging crowd and
thev would have saved Dunn's life had
the ~latter's gun not been wrested from
his grasp When Smith freed himself he
stabbed the Deputy Sheriff over the
heart and then struck the fatal blow
that killed Dunn. Thompson. though
bleeding profuscly, caught Smith and
landed him in Jail.
A correspondent of tho Va. Enterprise
writing from Touopah says: The wound
that caused his death was from the
knife.cut in his left side, the knife hav-
ing entered his spleen. At the post
mortem examination shortly after death
nearly two quarts of blood was taken
from his body, showing excessive inter
nal bleeding, which, co doubt, would
have caused his death we're his spleen
not severed.
Smith, the man who did the cutting,
was taken to Belmont during the night
by Sheriff Gushing, as public feeling was
at high strain, aud it wouldn't have
taken much to have had a first-class
~"neck-tie" party.

The Fourth ia Battle Mountain.

The Fourth of July. 1898. pissed of
very quietly in Battle Mountain. Not
Il great deal of interest was shown by
our people before the Fourth but on the
morning Of the national day a spirit Of
patriotism entered their hearts and so ii
few of our patriotic citizens took the
matter 10 hand determined not TO leave
the day 20 by unobserved and proposed
to have some kind of a celebration at
home.
n. e. Bartoo on the morning OF the
Fourth went around among the citizens
and raised enough money with which to
have some sports in the afternoon.
The first on the program was a ring
tournament. There were four contest
ants L E. Kendrick. n. C. Bartoo, Joe
Bertolozze and Jim Leach. L. Z. Kend-
rick carried off first prize.
Next was "A barrel race. /. Mccarthy

There were also a couple OF boys races
which were very exciting. each one try
ing to Guido the other.
After tie sports had been finished on
the street, quite a number OF people re-
paired 10 the shooting grounds where a
clay pigeon shooting contest took pla e
between 4 number OF the members of
the Battle Mountain Gun Club.
The celebration this year was not as
elaborate as in former years but no
doubt everybody spent a pleasant day.
