Pete Castinelli lies in bed with two
serious wounds, while Mrs. Lawrence
Ventura occupies a cell in the county
Jail.
For several years the Castinnelli's
and Venturi's have been having trou-
BILE over land on the Carson river and
about two years ago Pete Ventura hit
Castinnelh over the head with shov-
ell, inflicting a wound which nearly
caused his death.
Yesterday the venturis went, with
their lawyer, to a dam on the Carson
river, and while they were absent,
Cassennilli passed by the Ventura
residence, in which were Mrs. Law
:ence and Mrs. Pat Ventura. They
allege that Casinneili called them vile
names and insulted them, which caus-

revolver and fire at Cassinnelli, the
bullet striking him about an inch and
a-half to the right of the navel. The
bullet plowed its way to the right
side. AS Casinnelli was falling an.
other shot was fired. This time the
bail went through the rim of the hat
and struck just in front Of the collar
bone, missing some Of the large arter-
les by a small fraction Of an inch.
Cassinnelli arose and walked to Day
ton, about mile and a-half where
he informed residents that he had
been shot and exhibited the wounds
to DR.. Brown. He was taken home
and DR.. Sullivan was hurriedly sum-
moned from Virginia City and on his
arrival the bullet in the side was cut
out. but the doctors were unable to
locate the bullet in the shoulder. Cas-
innelli stated that both women fired
at him. but only the one was arrested.
II blood poisoning does not set in
Casinnelli has good chance to re-
cover.

this department is one Of
the busiest in the State. The
Esmeraida County tax case is
occupying the court at present

Of court. 1T is understood that
there are about one thousand
civil cases to be heard in Es-
meraida County and when the
new judges are appointed these
will be disposed Of az rapidly
as possible, and It II safe to
say that number Of these will
eventually reach the highest

FIRED ON
FROM AMBUSH
Men Have Narrow ES.
cape While Loading
Wood Team

~ AWHlDE, November 25.-Joe
Lima, q leaser from Rawhide,
= and Frank Downey, a freighter,
had a narrow escape from death by
being fired upon from ambush while
chopping wood in Wild Horse Can
yon. small camp four, miles south Of
Bovard.
Lima and the freighter have been
hauling wood from this section to
Rawhide for some weeks. They fail
ed to see the notices that had been
posted by the owners of tn claims to
keep of the ground and were load.
ing 12-horse team, when without a
word of warning, volley was fred
upon hem from point of vantage
quarter of mile away
The bullets sang and struck all
| about them and one was planted
square between the feet Of Lima,
scattering rocks that cut him about
the face and body. The men sought
shelter behind the rocks and the fir
ing from the hilltop continued until
several rounds were fired.
The shooting ceased as suddenly as
1t began and the men are at loss to
know who made the cowardly attack
Officers have gone to the canyon to
investigate the assault.
Ed HOFFMAN, consulting engineer of
the Coalation estate, was near the
scene of the shooting examining a
prospect and had narrow escape
from the fusilade of lead. Lima says
that the arms used were high-power
rifles. The bullet-holes in the wagon
behind where Lima stood bear wit
ness that the would-be assassins were
in deadly earnest

AGED NEGRO
in THE TOLLS
For Dispensing Liquor
to the Red Men. Caught
in the Act

This morning Deputy U. 8. Mar
shall Stern placed Bill Miller, known
here as "Nigger Bill" under arrest
for selling whisky to Indians. and the
prisoner was taken before Commis-
sioner Edwards this afternoon for a
hearing but this was postponed until
next Friday when the man will prob
ally be held to appear before the U.
S. Grand Jury on the charge that has
been placed against him.
It has been suspected that Miller
has been engaged in the liquor traffic
for good many yaars past but the
officers have been unable to catch
him in the act. Yesterday the disci-
plinarian at the Indian School, in con-
junction with the local officers, took
a hand in the matter and in company
with two Indians paid visit to the
cabin of Miller. One of the Indians
was sent to the resort and the Of
fetal and the other hid as witnesses
A dollar bottle was purchased from
the Negro with a marked dollar and
the men departed and notified the Of
f1cials Of what had transpired. This
morning Deputy Marshal Stern placed
Miller under arrest and when search
ed the marked coin was found in his
pocket with the other money in his
possession
1t is claimed that Miller has been
coming money of the Indian liquor
trade in this section. OF late the
merchants have refused to sell him
liquor in any quantities and it is
stated that he has been manufactur-
ing fire water at his cabin here, buy
ing the alcohol and the sugar in
wholesale quantities.
With the evidence in the possession
OF the officials the chances of Miller
having plenty OF time to think the
matter over in a cell are very favor
able
