Shooting at Bull Creek.

A shooting scrape in which sew
eral shots were fred and no one in
jured took place on June 9th at Bull
creek. 1t appears that man named
Dan LeBaron and Charles Weir had
been at outs for some time and a
clash was looked for any moment.
On the morning of June 9Th the
men got into a dispute over the
ownership of a wild horse, when
LeBaron drew knife ahd started
for Weir.
Weir jumped into his saddle and
as LIE Baron came up to him he
struck him over the head with his
whip. The blow somewhat stag
gered lie Baron, giving Weir a
chance to pull his gun which he
proceeded to use.
Fortunately for lie Baron, Weir $
horse became un manageable and his
shots went wild.
lie Baron lost time by not know
ing the exact location of his gun.
After going through his blouse he
discovered it in his hip pocket, bit
before he could bring it into play
Weir had rode away.
LIE Baron, believing that Weir
had gone to camp to procure his
Winchester, proceeded to arm him
self accordingly and procuring a
rifle from his cabin went upthe can
yon a short distance to waylay
Weir upon his return.
When Weir arrived at his cabin.
he armed himself accordingly. but
was finally persuaded from return
ing to the scene of battle by his
cook.
A party named Mont Bolan, it is
said, was stand ing directly between
the two men when the shooting was
in full blast and how he escaped
from being shot is miracle.
Parties who know the men say
that it will only be a question of a
few days when they will again meet
and the one that fails to get the
drop will find a grave on Jackson
mountain,

EARLY Closing.

Sheriff Shirley has given notice
that the saloons of Fallon must close
at midnight and remain closed until
six o'clock a. m. This action is
taken in accordance with the laws
of Nevada regarding this subject
which has been on the statute books
for number Of wears past. Whether
the law is or is not injurious to
business remains to be seen. In
either instance the officers are not
the cause. 1t is the law of the land
and laws must be obeyed and en-
forced, though it does seem queer
that the guardians of the peace and
public morals have for such num-
Der of years countenanced an open
violation of the law, if the same is
really meritorious. -Stanpard:

Farmers, Pinch Yourselves.

TdTHuSTSs TiuSu bOuSOSaVSo.
The Reno Gazette says that the
Miller Bros, stockmen of St. An
thony, Idaho, arrived in Reno this
week with couple of carloads of
hcgs for the Nevada Meat company.
The freight on each car was $500
and if money can be made in the
hog business after paying such
freight rates it is evident that the
farmers of this State are asleep, and
should pinch themselves to see if
they are really alive. The Millers
raise hogs on COW peas and field
peas. These peas are not threshed
but are stacked like hay and may
be browsed or fed dry. They are
thrifty, hardy vine. 1t is said
that they are supplantipg other hog

Strike at OIinehouse.

The Springfield and Nevada Min.
ing COMPANY which own nearly all
of the large mining claims in Cling
house Canyon has struck it rich and
prospects of Olinghouse becoming a
large mining town are brighter to-
day than ever before, says the Jour-
nal. While sinking a shaft on the
Cabin No. q, which is one of the
oldesr mines in the camp a new
ledge Yves struck. The ore goes
from $40 to. $500 per ton and the
ledge is over six feet wide. The
old ledge in the mine had been lost
and the miners were searching for
it when this new body OF ore was
found. A rich strike has also been
made on the Williams property,
which has lately been purchased by
the company. This strike is very
valuable and a great quantity of ore
will be opened up by it. The mine
owners feel very hopeful over their
new finds and speak very highly OF
the new camp. All of the other
miners in Olinghouse have been en-
couraged by these discoveries and a
great deal of mining and prospect
ing will be done there this summer.
Olinghouse has not received a boom,
but has grown gradually and from
present prospects will soon be quite
q large mining town.
