Blue Rock Shooting.

Last Sunday on Dwyer's hill there
was blue rock shooting during the
afternoon for prizes. At the miners
picnic on labor day there were two bar
rels of blue rocks left over, so the shoot
ing Sunday was arranged by the jack
son Miners Union to dispose of them.
Two prizes were offered. First prize,
carving set of three pieces; second
prize, silver hunting cup. No en-
trance fee was charged. The affair at
tracted large number of sports, and
the shooting was kept up from two
o'clock until nearly six. Herbert Meeks
captured the first prize, with score of
q out OF 25 birds. For the second
prize there were three ties, G. Valvo,
A. Granger and M. Nixon, each making
a score of 49, Granger beat Valvo in
deciding the tie, and Nixon conceded
the prize to Granger. Herbert Meeks,
the first prize winner selected the
hunting cup in preference to the carv-
ing set The knife set therefore fell
to the second prize winner.

THE DRYTowN HOMICIDE.
Preliminary Examination of M. Ferrari
for the Killing of Antonio Sample

The preliminary examination of NJ.
Ferrari for the killing of Antonio
Sample was held before Justice H.
Goldner in Jackson on Wednesday, in
the sheriff's Office. District Attorney
G. P. Vicini conducted the case for the
prosecution, and A. Caminetti appear
ed for the defendant. The only eye
witness of the fracas which led to the
death of Sample was A. Gazzero. The
encounter took place at the boarding
house of M. Cavalero in Drytowu, about
midnight. After the evening meal, the
witness stated, half dozen men
were gathered round table on the
back porch of the boarding house, en-
gagged in playing a game of cards,
called three sevens. -Four played at a
time. The two principals in the quarrel
that ensued, were in the game from
start to finish. AS the night wore on,
some of the players retired, leaving
Ferrari and Sample in the game, with
Gazzero as the only onlooker, who
waited upon them, bringing them a
bottle of wine: Other bottles stood
upon the table. The night was dark,
but solitary candle furnished illumi-
nation. Sample was taller and larger
man than Ferrari. The witness stated
that toward midnight Sample became
angry, and made a remark, striking
the table with his fist in an excited
manner. Ferrari said he had a sore
foot and did not want to quarrel.
Sample raised from his seat and called
the other man a d fool. Ferrari then
put in remark which seemingly raised
the ire of the deceased to the breaking
point, saying. that "his shirt was
cleaner than his" At this Sample
jumped up, and passed quickly to the
side of the table where Ferrari was,
and attempted to strike him with his
fist. Ferrari threw himself back and
lodged the blow, and took up bottle
from the table and struck Sample with
the thick part of it over the left eye.
Gazzero took Sample home after re-
ceiving the blow. He was able to walk,
although he assisted him home to some
extent. On his return to the Cavalero
boarding house, Sample also reappear-
ed there few minutes afterward. The
victim did not go to work the day fol-
lowing the midnight row. He saw him
that day with his head bandaged. He
went to his work at the Fremont the
second day after the affair. Witness
could not tell the date of his death or
when the doctor was called.
The examination was continued until
next week, owing to the defendant S
attorney having to leave for the city
for few days.

Burned by A Live Wire.

This morning, about 10 O'Clock, Jas.
NJ. Stamps, employed as lineman by
the Standard Electric Company, was
severely and perhaps fatally burned by
coming in contact with live wire. AS
far as we can learn from the meager
particulars received, the victim was en-
gagged in soldering, and came in con
tact with live wire carrying 1000
volts. He was terribly burned about
the arm and leg and one side. DIR.
Endicott repaired to the scene. We
learn that the victim will be taken to
the city today for treatment. His case
is a critical one, and recovery is doubt
full. Stamps is single man, about 30
years of age, and has been in the employ
OF the Standard Company for about
three years.

A Complimentary send-off.

The Rev. DR.. Phelps, the newly ap-
pointed pastor of the M. E. church, for
the past three years has had charge of
the church at Reno, Nevada. That he
has given the utmost satisfaction in
that field is evinced by the fattering
testimonials he has received not only
from the press but from individual
members of the church. The Reno
Gazette OF Sept. 6, speaking of the rev.
gentleman's departure from that place
says:
''Under the administration of DR..
Phelps the Methodist church has had
an era OF the greatest prosperity and
upbuilding.
In this short time over two hundred
have been taken into the church-the
membership more than doubled. The
parish has been in perfect harmony at
all times, as the healthy financial con-
dition will indicate.
During the pastorage of DR.. Phelps,
funds to the amount of $4,000 have been
raised in the parish, aud the last years
funds alone amounted to So, 277. so.
DR.. Phelps earnest work has been far
reaching, and the results of his efforts
can never be defaced.
Especially among the younger mem
bers of his church he has created de-
sire for advancement in the church
work. The Junior League has a men,
bership of thirty-seven, the Boys Club
has thirty-two members, and the Ep-
worth League has mem bership of one
hundred enthusiastic members.
DR.. Phelps seemed to have many re-
grets at leaving the people he has
labored among for the past three years,
but for domestic reasons he has decided
to CO."
