Fight to Death

A fierce struggle between d horse
and a bull occurred on the Luhrs
ranch sometime last Monday night,
which resulted in the death Of the
horse and a badly disfigured bull
The two animals in some manner
got into the same corral and it is
thought that the bull, being very vici-
Gus, attocked the horse and the latter
unable to make its escape from ne
enclosure was finally gored to death.
The ground in the corral was badly
torn up and this coupled with the fact
that one animal is dead andt he other
considerably injured would indicate
that a very fierce struggle must have
been waged between the two animals.
This is probably the first instance
where a horse and a bull have en-
gagged in a real battle and one havin;,
fatal conclusion. The horse was d
very valuable animal and quite large
and powerful.

1t may have been simply closed in

1t was predicted that the temper

opened and the cause of temperance
correspondingly boosted.
But the temperance element are

MAKING THE cALLows
Preparing For the Hancock Hanging
| at the Prison.

That the authorities at the peni-
Tertiary expect to do some hanging
is evinced from the fact that a gal
lows is being erected and placed in
working order. The plans for the
gallows were secured from San QUEEN
tin and the iron frame work has been
finished at the shops. Mr. Heiden
reich and an expert from the Cali
fornia prison are placing the frame
and working parts together The gal
lows is to be a permanent fixture at
the prison, as there is prospect
of five hangings inside of a few
months.
The date set for the execution of
Hancock is September Sth. but there
is a chance that the execution will
not take place AS scheduled, as al
appeal has been filed before the Sup
rene Court. The final hearing will De
had Tuesday Should the Supreme
Court render decision sustaining the
lower court before the date set fo.'
the execution it is likely that the
murderer will be hung as directed.
AS there are four other cases 10
be disposed of the Warden decided
to make a scaffold that would do
for the purpose. 1t is double trap,
SO that two can be swung off a.
the same time. or can be used for
a single execution.
The executions at the penitentiai.y
will be under the direction of the
new law, as formerly the counties
took care of their hangings. Hancock
will probably be the first man exc
cuted under the new law and the
authorities are taking good care that
the first case will be success in
every detail. Men who have expert
ence in such unwelcome work viii
direct the work, so that no mistake
can be possible and the condemne1
will be sent off without unnecessary
delay.

/. MURDER IN ALPINE.
John PenoIa Found Dead, With a
Bullet in HE Abdomen.

0uIteI IN HIS Abdomen.
Last Sunday evening, John Penola,
cowboy who has been employed on
the Battehack ranch in Alpine county
was found dead near the stable on the
above ranch, lying face downward
with a 1890 bullet hole In his abdo-
men and a rawhide rope wound loose
ly around his neck. The scene of tie
tragedy is about three miles this side
Of Roundtop near Kirkwood.
Antoine Batterach, a son Of the
murdered mans employer, was ar
rested by Sheriff Grover and two
deputies at Woodfords. He is al,
present lodged in the county Jail at
Markleeville under suspicion of hav-
.xis committed the crime. The evil
dence thus far gathered is OF an en-
tirely circumstancial nature, but
owing to the evil reputation hereto
fore bore by Battrach, there seems 70
be good chance of conviction.
The main witness is dittle boy
thirteen years of age, son of man
named Roughner living near the Bat
terach ranch. Yaung Roughner says
that on the eve of the tragedy and
before the crime occurred, he had been
talking with Batterach and later on
separating and when he had gained
the far end of the ranch he heard
the report of gun at the point where
he had left Batterach.
The theory is that Batterach shot
Penolt at the spot where the report
issued from and then dragged the
body to the place where it was found
and wound the RATA around the neck
Of the deceased in order to establish
theory of suicide. :
At the time of the shooting Bate.
ach was out on bonds because of {
crime committed in Esmeralda county
and it is known that he has the blood
of more than one human being II
his hands. 1t is not known at this
time whether there had ever. been
any previous trouble between the deaf
man and his alleged murderer, but il
is probable that such will prove to D,
the case.
Coroner Harvey had charge of the
inquest and the finding of the jur,
was that deceased had come TO hi,
death by violent means and at tbs
hands of unknown parties. DR.. G. II

the president. II confidently predict
that Congress will take no adverse
action the coming winter"
Mrs. Stevens touched on all the ques-

ganization concerns itself, including
Mormonism. the purity crusade, patent
medicines and the Gothenburg system
of reg ulating the liquor traifit which
she strongly opposed as a compromise

periodical trips through the Western
cities, leaving not bank checks, but
packages Of actual money, without
note or comment, upon certain mec.
chants desks. taking no voucher nor
