Shooting Last Night.

Last night between 1870 and IL
o'clock, D. Goblin of Beowawe a shot
by Deputy Sheriff George Human in
Joe Bartolozze's saloon. As near as we
can find out it Is said that Goblin was
under the influence Of liquor and was
flourishing a knife in the saloon. Dep
uty Sheriff Human was called in to pre-
serve order and told Goblin that he would
have to be quiet and put away the knife.
At this instance it is said that Goblin
made two PUSHES at Human with the
knife ~whereupon Human drew his re-
volver and shot Goblin, the ball entering
the upper lip, just to the left Of the nose,
aud lodged in the mouth, the bullet
being found lodged in and arouhd the
teeth. One OF his fingers OIL the left
hand was broken and lacerated, which
it is thought was caused by his hand
being in front of his face when the shot
was fired, the bullet striking the finger.
The wounded man was taken to the
Capitol Hotel where DIR. Pope dressed
his wounds, and not being Of a serious
nature, he will soon be all right.

Last Saturday the four murderere
from Humboldt county we're moved into
new cells at the State Prison that have
been constructed for this and similar
emergencies. The new cells have been
constructed in another portion of the
building and hereafter condemned men
will be apart from all others.
The Jory Bros, located at Willow
Creek are men OF foresight. They have
set out between 30 and 60 more fruit
trees OF different varieties Ia their
orchard, have put la over 400 straw
berry plants and are going to try their
luck at growing grapes. The fruit that
is raised at Willow Creek is all of large
size, free from insect pests or heavy
frosts and is OF fine quality and is al
ways in demand. They have an ample
supply OF water and so the boys have set
all facts together and come to the con
clusion that in the course of a few years
they will cultivate as fine an orchard as
car be found in Nevada.

THE WOOL CROP.
The Seasons Clip In This Section Has
Been q Prolific One.

This seasons wool yield, so far still in
complete, has been one Of the most pro-
life in years.
Over 100000 sheep have been sheared
at the several corrals in the vicinity of
Battle Mountain. The local railroad
Office to date reports shipments exceed
ing as to weight, 100000 pounds.
Mitchell Mitchell and L. A. Lemaire
realized a total of 10000 pounds of
wool, which they had no trouble in sell
ing to a Hartford, Conn, firm at a good
price direct from the Lemaire ~corrals.
Warren Williams, who employs twenty
five men. will not finish the shearing of
about $4,000 head Until the end OF this
week.
The firm OF w. T. Jenkins company
incorporated, completed their labors at
the old Martin place, ear Lewis, last
Monday. They disposed OF their clip to
G. s. Moses & Co, Of San Francisco
Thomas Nelson, with corrals at Stone
House, stated that his wool this year was
of a finer quality than ever. In answer
to a question as to how this came to be a
fact, he said, II cannot give a direct rea.
son for this occurrence. My sheep re-
ceived this year rather less careful treat
ment than usual, and | simply attribute
the superior quality Of my wool to q
combination of unusual, and therefore
~unaccounted- for circumstances in gen.
eral."
1t is conservatively estimated that the
total shipments from Battle Mountain
and vicinity, will aggregate a million
pounds 10 1904.
The prices obtained ranged from l21l
to Is cents per pound.
Taking into account the large force ol
men employed during the past six weeks

Grinnell, Oct 21.-The statement
coming from reliable persons and ac-
cepted by all who heard it, that JOS
eph Lawrence, who has been missing
since last Monday noon, had been
found with a farmer in Chester town
ship proved to be incorrect and up to
the present writing no trace of the
young man has been discovered. The
story came to town that he had been
seen passing thru a corn field northeast
of this city, but investigation by Mr..
Rodney Clark, the uncle of the missing
boy, proved this a mistake. Searching
parties are out continually and every
probable place of concealment has been
searched. A description of the young
man has been sent to all the papers
in the hope that some one would recog-
nize it and be able to send some word
to the sisters that will at least end
the terrible suspense. He was small in
stature, being less than five feet in
height, slight in build, very thin and
weak in body, light complexion, blue
eyes, light hair. and was wearing a
light felt hat, a brown coat with a
striped blouse beneath. and blue over
alls. The rural telephone lines have
been used in all directions, but so far,
without result. Sanders pond has been
dragged without giving any clue.
Barns and outhouses have been search
ed. 1t has been strongly urged that
farmers who have buildings at some
considerable distance from the house
should make careful search of them as
being more likely places of refuge than
buildings nearer the house. In his
weakened condition he might easily
have stumbled and fallen and been I'M
abb to get up and go on, or too much
discouraged to make the attempt. All
these things are suggested and from
the basis of thorough search.
The sisters and other relatives have
the sympathy of the entire community
and every one is ready to give all the
assistance possible.

Marengo, Oct. 21.-Fire which was

night completely destroyed a large
barn and burned to death twenty five
horses at High Amana, which is a col

east of South Amana. The loss is es

The barn was closed as usual at
dark. There were thirteen teams in it
together with harness and a very large
quantity of hay. The people of the
colony go to bed early and for this
i Jason the fire got an excellent start
before anyone discovered the blaze
When the fire was discovered only one
horse could be saved All the other
horses We're burned to death, and on
account of lack of fire protection
nothing could be done to save the
structure.
There was no insurance on the barn
or contents as the members of the So
ciety never have any of their property
insured. 1t is confidently believed that
the structure was set on fire by some
one who desired to do the members of
the colony a great injury. No other
possible explanation of the origin of the
fire can be made by the High Amana
society,

The cause of this novel bit of college

the finest in the state, was dedicated
today and named in honor Of Colonel
B. A. Plummer of Forest City, a
we'll known banker and politician who
gave, yesterday, $500 to lift the in

firm financial basis. The gift was
secured thru the agency of Miss Far

members of the faculty, and the gift
was appropriately celebrated in college

Colonel McConlogue, who dedicated
the ground and named 1t in honor of
the good benefactor. The exercises
took place between the halves in the
great game played by the Memorial
team and the team from Austin.
