The Ely Record of July 6
1871, says:
A Little Short For reasons
best known to those who ceIe.
brate, we are compelled to give
our readers a Short" paper this
issue. Those who appreciate the
situation will of course bear with
US, for we are somewhat indis-
posed. Further explanation is
useless. You know how it is. "
On the morning of July 4th,
about half past A o'clock, John
J. Monahan was most fouly MUIR
dered at his saloon on Meadow
Valley street. Monahan was not
a man disposed to seek a quarrel,
as is well known. About one
month since he insured his life
for $4,000 in the New York
Mutual Company.

& Co., shipped from July End to

M. ]. Henley. the energetic
agent of the New York Mutual
Life Insurance Company, a gem
tleman who will not take mo"
for an answer, has insured a
number of our citizens, amount
ing in the aggregate to $I18, 900.
Senator Stewart was in San
Francisco last Saturday evening,
and made a short speech at the
reception given to Newton
Booth, the republican candidate
for governor.
In proof of what we have re-
peatedly said in reference to the
value of the mining section just
over the ridge to the southeast,
we have but to mention develop
ments lately made in the Con-
dor mine, east of the Alps. We
have been shown some rock OBJ
tanned from this mine at a depth
OF 60 feet that looks exceedingly
well and viii doubtless yield Sow
eral hundred dollars to the ton.
The vein at this depth is three
feet wide, and gradually increas-
ing in width. A large quantity
OF ore from this mine is soon to
be worked.
A little excitement was created
IN our usually quiet town by the
return of George Davis, who
stated that while on his way to
Panaca in the Salt Lake stage
10 make an arrest, three friends
OF the person he was after hap
pened to be on board, and hay
ing some knowledge of his pur-
pose they decided toput him out,
bur finding they could not scare
him into getting, the whole
party attacked him. Davis was
oyerpowered, received a knife
wound in the leg and his pistol
taken taken from him, after

They emptied the pistol of it's
contents and returned it to him.
Davis returned to Bullionvile.
where he related the circum-

arriving at Panaca they learned
that Coaking and Phillips made
threats that they never would be
taken alive, and that one of them !

AS soon as the passengers saw
the party they stopped the stage |
and Coaking and Phillips got out
and went for the hills where the
cedars were thick, when the
sheriff and Christ started to ]
head them off. AS soon as Christ !
came in range Of Phillips and
Coaklng they shot at him, which {
