CONTRADICTED
Honest Opinion Of Party Re-
sponsible for Articles In
furious to This Place.

A Reno dispatch to the San Fran
cisco papers informs the outside worlc
that the Indians Of this town are on the
rampant and citizens are leaving in
fear Of their lives.
AS matter of fact the Indians have
never been more peaceable than they
are at present, and the yarn originated,
probably, in the same brain that has
given birth TO others. equally false, and
equally detrimental to this town.
Those interested in the welfare Of
Wadsworth fail to see where any in
dividual or community is going TO gain
by the circulation of these wild stories;
while. as matter of fact, they will
work an injury to Wadsworth. If given
credence by people intending to settle
along the irrigation canal.
1t is true that Wadsworth has suf-
fered decline by the removal Of the
railroad terminal and shops to Sparks,
but 1t is equally true that no fair mind
ed person will deny that bright future
is before her as farming and mining
center.
1t is the opinion of residents here
that the person responsible for these
stories is by nature wolfe, who would
pounce upon his crippled brother in an
endeavor TO destroy him, with the sole
idea that he might glut himself with
the decaying flesh Of the next carrion
in their path, without having the dis
comfort Of witnessing another equally
satisfied.
In this enlightened age, If this be
true, 1t is safe to say that, If his brains
were of dynamite and match should
be touched to them, the resultant ex-
plosion would not be Of sufficient force
to disturb the tob of his thick skull.
The fellow is not known. but, unless
he is very gullable and has given cred
ence to others who sought to "string"
him. mosquito standing on the bridge
OF his nose would have no difficulty In
kicking out both his eyes with one well
directed kick.

A wagon road is being made from
the Maciza group to connect with the

various properties with view to pro-

talk ranching instead Of mining, but
we learn that thirty days is the limit.

THE DEAD TELL
NO TALES
And Another Mystery is Ad-
dcd to the List Of Crimes
Committed Near Derby.

Tomorrow another grave will be dug
in the potters' field at Fraternal Gem
etery, funeral will be held, attended
only by the director and sufficient
men to lower the casket into the grave
and perform the last sad rites, and a
pine slab will be placed at the head,
bearing but one word, Unknown,
Perhaps mother, sister, wife
or a sweetheart will wait and watch in
vain for the return of loved one who
went TO seek his fortune in the great.
rich West. Perhaps those dependant
on his earnings will witness the deple-
ton Of their larder, and faces grow wan
and pinched with hunger while waiting
for the remittance he never failed to
send.
On the other hand, Il we should visit
the haunts of the vicious, we might
find a person bearing semblance to the
human race, and wearing the raiment
Of man. recklessly and vainly en-
deavoring, by indulging in liquors, or
purchasing, with blood tainted gold, the
lotahsome caresses of corrupted
human carcass that once was q wo-
man, to forget the appealing gaze from
pair Of terrified eyes, when his hand
was raised TO strike the fatal blow.
Perhaps there are those who are
waiting for him. blind to his faults,
and trusting and believing in him. If
so, their fate is by far the sadder.
The dead body Of man was found
near Camp a. above Derby this morn
ing. Coroner Updike was summoned
and arrived on the scene as soon
as possible. The man had been
dead but few hours and had undoubt-
eddy been murdered. A wound in the
right temple resembling a bullet wound
led those who viewed the body to sup
pose that the dead man had been shot.
There were no valuables in the pock
cts and not scrap Of paper by which
the corpse could be identified. The
man had. apparently, been killed else
where and the body carried to the spot
where 1t was discovered. Aside from
the corpse, with the ghastly wound in
its temple, no evidence was obtainable
and jury. gathered from among the
laborers at Camp 4, reached the only
verdict possible: death by means not
known
The body was brought to town by
Jas. F. Crosby, the Wadsworth agent
Of Perkins & Oliver, and this evening
Dr.. w. L. Kistler probed the wound,
at the request of the coroner, and
found that 1t had been made by some
heavy instrument and not by bullet,
as was at first supposed.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
and the grave will cover another nys-
terry too deep for the human brain to
fathom. Nor will the human brain
try. The average citizen is too en-
crossed with the problem Of gaining an
honest livelihood, and an experienced
detective is a costly luxury.
