Negro Murdered.

| /rAlbert Gasket, a negro moss-piekeI
and trapper living in Churchville just
inside the corporation limits, was
shot and instantly killed at about
$3.50 o'clock Monday night, and a
negro named Willie King, alias
High Pocket is suspected of hav.
ing committed the crime King was
attentive to Gasket's paramour, and
the men are said to have had some
| trouble about the woman in the past
Monday night Gasket left his home
shortly after o'clock to go to a
nearby grocery to make purchases. A
few minutes later the double report
Of a shotgun was heard by the peo-
pie residing in the neighborhood, but
no one made an investigation. The
next morning Gasket's dead body was
found on the sidewalk about 40 feet
from his home, with eighteen buck
shot wounds in the right breast. Al
though at the eoroner's inquest
practically everybody living in the
vicinity who were summoned to APP
pear testified to having distinctly
heard the sound Of two shots the
night before, the dead mans para
mour stated she had not heard the
reports, and declared she knew moth
ing of the tragedy until the follow
ing morning. She was arrested on
suspicion of being implicated in the
crime, and the same day Willie King
was taken into custody by Deputy
Sheriff Lueien Acosta at Burton,
where he was employed by the Bur-
ton-SWartz Cypress Company. King
claims to have been at work on Mon
day and his statement is borne out
by the timekeeper Of. the Burton
saWniH, but Sheriff Hanson says he
has testimony to the effect that the
negro was seen in town that day.
In any event, he could have attend
ed to his work at Burton and come
to town on the 1883 p. m. t. and p.
train. The tragedy occurred at about
$50 p. IA.
Gasket is said to have been
peaeeable, laW-ahiding darkey, and
was generally liked.

Death Of Little Louise eoette.

1t is with feeling OF profound re
greet that The Chief chronicles this
week the death of little Louise
Goette, aged six years and three
months, daughter of Henry Goette
and Louise Schaff, who passed away
at her parents home in Iberville
street at IL clock noon last Tuesday
afer an illness of ten days with
diphtheria. Death is sad at all
times and under ali circumstances,
but when it comes to little child
just arriving at an age to understand
and appreciate the blessings of life
and happiness, and takes from q de-
voted family one of It's chiefest joys
and ornaments, it strikes at the
heart with peculiar power to hurt
and causes even the strongest of us
to bow our head in grief and shed
a silent tear. A measure of consola-
ton to the griaf-stricken parents in
their sad aff1iction is the tender sym
pathy of a host of friends, whose
hope it is that the bereaved ones
will find assuagment of their sorrow
in the divine utterance Of the Crea-
tor, Suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for
of such is the kingdom Of Heaven"
The remains of the little martyr
SiNe tenderly laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery on Tuesday after
noon; the funeral obsequies. in ac-
cordance with the regulations of the
Board of Health, being of private
nature.
Anothe4 and younger eaiid of Mr.
and Mrs. Goette, Lillian, is also SUI
fering from diptheria, and their man
y little son, Master Henry, IS just
reeuperating from an attack of the
dreaded maIady

Gambler Guilty
Says the Jury

The first conviction under the new
gambling laws in the State of Nevada
was secured last night in Nye County
III Judge Averill's court, when the
jury in the case OF the State OF Ne
vada vs. Gajo Pistinat returned a ver-
dict Of guilty as charged.
On the Goth of last December two
boys, John Deal and Bert Doughitt,
held up poker game in Rhyolte,
The boys were arrested and confess
ed TO the holdup. When the grand
jury took the hold-up case under ad-
visement they brought minor
charge against the boys and indicted
Pistinat for owning a house and al
lowing gambling to be conducted
therein
The case attracted very little atten-
ton, as it was the common belief
around town that conviction would
not be secured The verdict of the
jury came as complete surprise and
has been the chief topic of conversa
ton about the streets to-day.
The penalty for a conviction under
tie new gambling law is from one
to FIVE years in the penitentiary with
Out the alternative OF fine 1t is
believed that the case will be appeal
ed. The outcome of this case will
be of interest over the entire State OF
Nevada. as it will have a bearing on
poker games.
In the northern end OF the State
there have been several arrests made
for indulging in the National pastime
Of playing poker, but a conviction
was never secured-Bonanza.
