Harry Mcknight, II Reno man, tells
the Gazette of a murder committed by
HindOoS ut Steen IL McCabe's camp OH
the Western Pacific north of Reno,
about Il week ago. According to Nc
knights story, twenty Hindoos n few
nights ago took one of their fellow
countrymen from the camp where he
was working. ont into the desert u
short distance and there cut him into
small bits with large knives, after which
bloody operation thoy built n fire in
which they burned the remains of their
dead comrade, meantime saying prayers
around the fire on which toasted and
sizzled the bloody remnants of what
was once IL Hindoo.
Mr.. Mcknight states that the day af
ter this awful ceremony. which he
thinks must have been of u religious
nature and in fact Il human sacrifice to
the God Buddha, II portion of the skull
Of the dead Hindoo and his two charred
hands were found in the ashes of the
fire which had consumed the other por-
tiOns Of his remains.

Of James Baker and Clyde Thompson.
h participants.
The particulars of the affair ~ near
as We were able to learn them are about
rs follows:
In Il law suit last year between Baker
and n man named Anderson, it appears
that Thompson was u witness against
Baker. This resulted in i'll feeling be-
tween Ii two men and it is supposed
that last nights ARRAY grew out of it.
Baker and Thompson me about 8
O'Clock last night on the walk near ANDY
Smiths old saloon building. From the
walk, they went into II narrow alley be-
tween two buildings. Soon after four
shots were heard in quick succession.
These shots were fired by Thompson
and two of them took effect in Bakers
abdomen. Though badly wounded,
AXE grappled with Thompson and
with his (Baker's) knife cut Thompson's
throat from u to ear Thompson died
Immediately and Baker died between .
and 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Mrs. Baker was in Elko when the
news Ut the shooting uf her husband
cached her between IL and 1 o'clock
last night. The Elko telephone office
was closed and Brad Waller came in
from Winter Station. Mrs. Baker and
the Tuscarora physician, who was here,
left mt once by private conveyance to
attend her husband.
We were not able to learn much
about the w men, but from what we
were able TO gether, it appears that
both men went To TuScarora about
two years ago from Texas. one report
says Baker was supposed to be IL dctec.
tive in the employ of cattlemen. aud
that Thompson WAS Il trappcr.
Later information is that when they
went into the alley Thompson drew Il
knife and Baker told him to put il up.
Thompson did $ and ut the same time
drew his gun and began shooting. Ba,
ker grappled with him and with his
(Bakers) pocket knife cut Thompson
81 times. nearly severing his head from
the body. The men were found in an
old cellar. where they had rolled during
the fight.
The immediate cause of the fight i,
said to have been remarks made by one
against the other, growing out of the
Baker-Anderson law suit.
