Lander County Sued.

Sheriff Murphy. by his attorney G
A. Cantwell, has commenced suit il
the District Court against Lander
County for $325.80.
The suit has grown out OF the at
tempted extradition of Jas. +. Finne.
gan of Chicago, who was taken away
from the sheriff at Ogden while en-
route to Austin. The extradition pro.
ceedings were instituted on the
strength of a telegram received from
P. G. Maringer of Chicago, and Mar
niger having refused to pay Sheriff
Murphy, the Sheriff presented a bill
to the County Commissioners which
was rejected, hence the suit against
Lander county.-Reveille.

FATAL SHOOTING AT.
FRAY AT AUSTIN.

One OF the most cold blooded murders
ever committed in Lander county was
~perpetrated 10 Austin Tuesday night,
when Bert Williams, u OF Austin's
most respected young men, fell a victim
to the bullet of a cowardly and villain
Gus assassin, and H. W. Dyer. our popu-
lar County Recorder, received bullet
wounds fraeturing the bones in his left
leg. NJ. Dyer ssaid to be in a precarious
condition, from the fact that he has just
recovered from a severe illness and is in
a weak state.
Up to this writing we are unable TO
give a true report of the horrible affair
as those coming from Austin yesterday
were unable to give any more news than
what we take from the Reno Gazette,
and which we believe is neal correct.
1t is said that after the shooting the
murderer walked into a saloon and call
| ed up everybody to have a drink, max.
ing the remark that "he had got his
men," After taking his drink he left
the saloon, with the intention of going
to Manhattan, and before he had gone
a great distance, was oversakeu by Dep
atty Sheriff Oliver and his deputies and
brought back to town and placed in Jail
Excitement is at fever heat in Austin
but no serious trouble is expected as ar
outcome of the crime.
The bullet from the assassin's gun en-
tered Mr.. Williams head just above the
the right eye and lodged in the brain
| He lived about six hours after being
shot.
His funeral took place in Austin this
afternoon.
He was aged about % years, and leaves
a father, mother, two sisters aud Other
relatives to mourn his untimely death.
At the time of his death he was nold
ing the position OF conductor on the Ne
vada Central r. II. He was a very pop
ular young man. a faithful employee, ane
10 his passing away We have lost a use
full citizen. He was well thought OF b.,
everybody and the people of the com
munity speak of his high character.
A dispatch to the Reno Gazette from
Austin, New, dated yesterday, says:
Tuesday afternoon Patsy Dryer,
gambler Of Tonorah, who recently ruI
the games in Madden's saloon at Man
haitian, and Jack O'Brien, bartender il
the Monarch saloon at Manhattan, hat
a quarrel 10 the Palace saloon here anc
when they parted there was an under

S. p. Tie-Ilp Threatened.

A strike of the freight conductors
and brakemen on the Southern Pa
cifc lines and a general tie-up is said
to be probable unless the latest de-
mands of the employees for the ac-
ceptance by the company of a new
schedule are acceded to.
The new schedule which has been
adopted by the Order of Railway Con-
ductors will be presented to the Of
ficials OF the Southern Pacific Com
pany some time this week. The situa-
tion is regarded as extremely gave and
one which will require careful hand
ling il a strike rs to be avoided.
As far as wages are concerned, the
new schedule makes an advance of
only about 6 per cent, but what is
more important to the employees, the
schedule will bring about fully 80 per
cent betterment in the condition OF
the men.
The new schedule hits n hard blow
Mt what is know as the "deadheading
evil" This consists in allowing crews
only two.thirds mileage when their
caboose is in transit to another point
of work. The new claus reads: "Con-
ductors deadheading will be paid full
rates applicable to the service in
which employed.
The basis OF pay is provided Tor in
the following clause: "rime of all
freight trains not hereinafter provided
for will be paid for on a basis OF 123
miles per hour. On freight train runs
of less than 100 miles, or less than
eight hours, 100 miles will be allowed
Over 100 miles, or over eight hours,
mileage or hours will be allowed, rate
per mile applicable to respective dis
tricts to apply"
Freight conductors. time will start
Thirty minutes previous to the time
set for departure. Passenger con-
ductors will be paid overtime Tor all
time in excess OF thirty minutes over
schedule time of run at 80 cents per
hour.
Among numerous other matters
the schedule provides that conductors
shall have full and entire control, Of
brakemen on their trains, and of the
placing of them, and shall not be re-
quired to take out a brakeman whom
they know to be incompetent.
Except in cases of serious collisions
or intoxication no conductor will bt
arbitrarily dismissed from the service
of the company without a fair and
impartial trial, at which he will have
the right to be present and at which
he will have the right to be represent
ed by q committee of his W choice
Humboldt Star.

Football.

The fact that the overseers of Har-
ward university had voted against the
continuance of intercollegiate foot
ball contests by students of that uni
versity was made known at Cam
bridge, the prohibition to remain in
force until the committee on the rcgu-
lation of athletic sports reports on
changes in the game and that report
is approved by the overseers. All
depends on the degree of reformation
which the athletic committee ef-
fects. The overseers regard the pres
ent game as bad in every respect and
say that the method of formation alb
solutely encourages trickery and foul
play They think the result is bad
for the morals as well as for the
body, and that the present intercol
legiase rules committee is not capable
of reforming the game because it is
SO far committed to the present sys-
ltem.-Exchange. EF
