CarIin Has Wild
Time With a
Gun Man

/ Passengers ON Southern Pacific
trains from the west stated at Cobre
yesterday that the people of Carlin
are just recovering from the effects
and excitement incident to an effort
on the part of wild and woody
sheep herder TO run the Nevada town.
While under the influence of Car
lin whskey the sheep herder announc-
ed his purpose of shooting up the
town. and without unnecessary delay
inaugurated a program of lombard
ment that paralyzed the community.
After a time the constable emerged
from vault and, slipping up behind
the desperate. showed a gun in his
face and made the sheepman pris-
oner. Excitement subsidized. the
throng dispersed and the constable
started to jail with his man. I'm
route there. the sheep herder knock
ed the officer down and skipped in
the darkness. The officer pulled his
gun, fired in the air, and the mob
reassembled with the purpose OF
lynching the supposed murderer of
the constable.
When matters were explained. the
crowd started on a still hunt for the
tough whom they found in hay
loft on the edge of the town. He
surrendered at sight. and 1t was all
the officer could do to prevent
lynching on general principles.
The cuprit is now in Jail awaiting
trial for disorderly conduct and as
saulting an officer.
