INDIANS UGLY OVER
KILLING IN THE SOUTH

Southern Nye county. for the
past three days. has been stirred
by threats of an uprising among
the Tecopa Indians through the
killing of Charlie Tecopa on Sun
day last by Joe Lake. a white man.
during an argument which took
place on the Manse ranch in the
Pahramp valley
The cause of the trouble is un.
known. bat il is asserted that Lake
vas attacked by the Indian, and in
the exchange of shots which fol-
lowed the Indian fell dead. The
word spread among the Indians
like wildfire, and they began gather
ing in the vicinity of the ranch,
muttering threats of vengeance
on the slayer of the only surviving
Indian of royal blood in the list of
Tecopas. His father was the last
surviving chief of the tribe.
The news Of the killing was
suppressed until Monday. a suf.
ficient time for the summoning of
Coroner johnson of Beatty. who,
Immediately on his arrival, i'm
panelIed jury and held I the
necessary inquest. Deputy Sheriff
Miles of Tonopah, who has been
attending to assessment work in
the southern portion of the county,
assisted in the investigation, and
when all the evidence had been
taken it was decided that Lake
shot in selfdefense.
L tie M nday and all day Tues
day the Indians assembled until
nearly thirty were eDcamped at
vantage points about the ranch.
Though assured that full justice
would be meted out to Lake they
proved ugly and refused to permit
the deputy sheriff to remove his
prisoner to Amargsa, as serting it
was their right, according to tribal
custom, to be the executioners of
the slayer their tribesman.
Troughout Wednesday and
Thu rsday the ranchmen stood con-
tinual guard over the pris, rer to
prevent raid on the part of the
Indians. Late Thursday after
noon, the Indians withdrew for
time, and plans were lad to SNUG
Jle the prisoner out after night
fall. Escortr 4 by Deputy Sheriff
Miles and small guard of ranch
employees, Lake was led forth in
the darkness ana, circling about
the location the Indians were
believed to be in, the party set off
for Johnnie.
The attempt was successful, and
Sheriff Malley, who was about to
start for scene Of the trouble was
notified by telegraph from this
point, that there would doubtless
be no further trouble from the
Indians. Deputy Sheriff Miles
left for Godfeld with his prisoner
on the L. V. & 4. railroad shortly
after noon, and will be safe in
Tonopah Saturday morning.
The possibility of an Indian up-
rising caused serious apprehension,
as several of those who gathered

Lake have regulations as gun.

OF the plaintiff after he had told
MS story. Massey would make con-
siderable noise and on such occa.
sions Harrison would say some
thing about 'brow-beating' and
'bull-dozing' meaning and intend
ing thereby to convey the imp res
sion that Massey was a bold bad
man.
The Judge after a time protested
TO the cour: against the use of such
Language and the court cautioned
the attorney to be more moderate.
Things went off withoat any
hostilIties that day but yesterday
morning the plar''T being still on
the stand for cross-examination,
Massey proceeded to ask some
pertinent questions. The witness
was somewhat embarrassed and i'll
at ease and Hart son again nj ade
remarks about brow-beating and
bulldozing.
There were a few hot words
wnen Judge Massery steamed up
alongside of Harrison and started
mis- nign arm going round like a
side-wheel paddle on a Mississippi
steamboat. Harrison got into
action about the same time and
ultimately they clinched and rolled
upon tue floor. By this time they
were between Court Reporter
Lozsno's desk whi I'll is immdiat ely
in front of the witness throne, and
the little rostrum where rules the
regal Fngg. 1t is said that Judge
Massey IN his descent came in con-
tact with a part of the furniture
so that his left temple was bruised.
Court Bailiff j. H. Whited had
been marveling at the justice and
righteousness of law altogether,
when the fracas started, but when
he heard the shrill whistle of
Judge Masscy's voice in anger,
signaling down brakes" he
hastened out with his trusty
mace and uncoupled the newly
formed legal association.
When the lawyers rose they
were putting, but the judge. who
could not see all the moves owing
to the height of his desk. re-
mained unruffled in demeanor.
He gazed at the belligerents with
a sad and weary eye. Then he said.
THAT will set you back by $25
coin of the realm" or words to
that effect.
Judge Massey. having recovered
his pose, promptly apologized to
the court for creating such
diversion to the great scandal of all
the liege subjects of the law. and
Harrison did likewise, but neither
said anything about burying the
Ratchet. The financial matters
were settled and the cross-ex-
aminati"n pr oceeded. There were
no further references to bull-doz-
ing or brow-beating.
There be those who do say that
Judge Massey fioOred Harrison wit h
the first swing. but this cannot be
definitely determined until the
moving pictures are developed.

CAUGHT ON THE BOUNCE

When the night wind wbines
about the cunning cabin nestled
in the beach hills the hearts
within grow reminiscent.
"The best canvasback shooting
/ ever had was down off the mouth
of Crazy inlet" said the parson.
"A ripping northeaster was blow
ing, and | was out on the edge of
the shoal, and they were so far
away that it was just impossible
to kill them outright. l could
have had hundred shots that
day, they came so thick, but ! let
lot Of them go by. At dark | had
picked up twenty-five birds. Not
one of them was dead when drop.
ped them as they wheeled by; but,
boys, | didn't have to shoot
single cripple in the water"
Curley gave the parson a long
look, filled and lighted his pipe,
then snorted in disgust, for he was
an old hand. and he knew that one
needed more than pinch of salt to
capture a wounded canvasback in
open water.
Suppose you hypnotized those
birds you couldn't kill dead into
coming ashore for you to wiring
their necks?" he grrnted.
"No," said the psrson slowly;

Knocked 'em down they'd hit the

morning, MIR. ardorpe was
questined further about the holes

east side of the burned store and
through which il is claimed
kerosene and gasolene were forced
into the store through a horse
syringe. He identified q piece of
rustic containing some of the
holes. which he had taken from the
outside wall of the store after the
fire.
= He was finally turned over to
the defense for cros-examination
Judge Perky questioned him closely
about the contents of the store,
the location of the CO unters ard
the location and appearance of the
holes he had testified to on direct
examination.
During the rross-ex animation,
Judge Perky read from a tram
script of the evidence at the pre-
liminary examination in which
WARDROBE was said to have
testified that the hole in the board
exhi bited was the biggest" one
he had seen in the building after
the fire. When Judge Perky con-
cluded the reading. Attorneys
Levers and Henderson were on

Levers shot out: 81 object 1t is

enough the word was biggest. ''
This calmed the storm and Mr..
Levers neatly apologized to Judge
Perky. The latter accepted the
apology and extended his hand.
