Dead Body in Marl Hole.

Goldsboro, n. c., Speciai.-The peo-
pie in the section around Fremont, u
miles north of here, are wild with ex-
citment over the finding of the dead
body of young lady in mari hole
early Monday morning. The whole
country for miles around suspended
work and gathered around the spot
where the coroner held the inquest.
The particulars could not be obtained
from parties who are here attending
court from that section, because they
left home before the body of the
young lady was found and before the
news of the tragedy had become
known. 1t is thought, however, that
the young lady was assaulted, murder
ed and her body thrown into the hole
to hide the crime. No clue has been
found so far to the guilty party.

"To the People of North Carolina,
Greeting:
Up until few weeks ago and for
four years, our State was blessed
with law and order and peace and
plenty reigned. Now, a few lawless
men, in three instances, have taken
the law into their own hands and by
violence and with strong hands have
overthrown the law, and wilfully and
deliberately committed murder by
lynching persons confined in Jail. In
none Of these instances was there the
slightest excuse for these acts, for in
all cases special terms have been Or
dered and in one case the court was
actually sitting and trying the pris-
oners. Such acts breed contempt Of
law, bringing the courts into dire.

Many officials Murdered.

st. Petersburg, By Cable.-Last
week s statistics show that So officials
were murdered and 43 wounded in
Russia proper, 80 bomb depots were
discovered, six safes were rified of
money and 63 persons robbed. These
official figures do not take into ac-
count the pillaging in the country,
nor do they give the number of mill
tary executions or arrests of agitators
and revolutionists and there are no
figures showing the number of per-
sons sent into exile. The st. Peters
burg Gazette says 2,300 persons were
banished Sunday from st. Petersburg
alone and that 1900 were placed on
trains bound for the interior.

and daughters sake, try TO be happy.

j. III. Sherman, who saw the gun play

twenty miles west of Virginia City,
where guns were flashing a few days
ago. I'll. M. Main of Goldfeld, who pur-
chased some disputed ground, over
which the trouble occurred, isstill in

Wheeler, of Reno, also a purchaser of
the same property, is said to be pre-
pairing to bring injunction proceedings
in order to get possession that he may
perform the required location work and
proceed with development.
Mining men who are well informed
on Ramsey affairs say there is apt to
be more trouble as there has been con
siderable jumping during the last few
weeks. Some of the real owners, they
say, are apt to return at any time
and try to enforce possession.
Armed men are holding claims and
the of many are not only
scattered about, but the rocks compos-
ing the mare frequently carried several
hundred feet to destroy all trace of
their location. The location notices
are also destroyed and notices of the
jumpers are then posted, dated back
several weeks and sometimes nearly
three months.

Items Of Interest
Concerning Hap
penings In Nevada

All but one of the teachers that con
posed the old corps that had charge OF
the city schools during the term OF
10000 were reelected this afterno,n
at a meeting of the school trustees. The
exception was Professor T. l.. Brando1
who rendered his resignation seve.al
weeks ago, and who expects to de .ta
his time to other work during the next
year. His place will be filed by Profss
sor Mitchell of Carson, who will have
charge of the class in chemistry and
other sciences.
1t is expected that there will be three
or four vacancies to fill before the 49,.
OF terms open, but the substitutes to
fill these positions have not been sci ct.
There are a large number of appi;
cations with the board and before tnt
beginning of school a complete subs
tute list VIII be prepared.
Profe sor Winfrey will remain at tic
head of the school system, where he
was paced several years ago.
Thousands of tons 0 fetal, piled high
in the immense bunkers at Sparks, from
which all trains running over the
Southern Pacific are coaled, were on fire
on the 9th. The fire is deep in the bunk
ers, sand as yet the flames nave no,
appeared on the surface.
The discovery was made on the after
of the 9Th by some ~yardmen, who
began to suffer from the intense neat
about the bunkers. The coal handled
unusually hot, but there was no
smoke visible. Finally the fumes from
the burning mass were noticed and then
heat waves were seen rising in the air.
Last year the bunkers caught on fire
and for several months the fire smoul-
dered, costing the company $4,000 be-
ore it was extinguished. On account of
the fact that spontaneous combustion
is apt to result from the contact of wa
ter with coal the fire fighting apparatus
of the company cannot be brought into
play. In case the fire breaks into flames
the company will be compelled to imme-
diately empty the bunkers and scatter
the coal over the shop grounds.
