STIRRING UP THE ANIMALS.
Mr.. HeadlY Of MatewaR, Twists the
Tails Of the ManipulatOrs Of
Illegal Negro Voters.

Il
Mr.. Headly has stirred up the ami
mails, and there is now great confusion
in the menagerie. But all the gnash-
ing of teeth and demonstration of rage
merely shows that their tails have been
twisted, and in very tender direction
at that.
There is much effort to smooth out
the publicity that is being given to
Mingo County politics of the condition
that is fast bringing disgrace upon the
county. Some Of the guilty ones claim
that there are others who steal, and
that they are no worse than others.
All such talk is rot of the worst kind,
and will have no standing in the minds
of honest people. Mr.. Headly has made
his charges, and we do not suppose
there is man in the county who has
been here for any length OF time, who
does not know they are as true as holy
writ.
No attempts are made to dispute the
fact that negroes are voted Illegally
the only question is how to rid our
selves of this debauchery in our local
elections.
Is it best to appeal to the governor!
1t is said that he is with the men who
vote these illegal negro votes, and takes
them into his confidence.
Shall we resort to force? Then would
come calamity that would make the
stoutest heart shudder.
Shall we bear the evils that exist
rather than bring worse devastation
upon our people?
Shall we send our women to the vot-
ing places ard let them bear witness tc
the palpable frauds as they are com
mitted? This has been done already
to some extent.
Or shall we get together as good
and wise people and endeavor to smooth
over the rough places, and vote as other
intelligent people do?
These are questions which are no"
discussed privately in Mingo county
and these are the questions which the
people will have to answer for them
selves sooner or later.
And it is problem which the Cover
nor of the State should lend his power
to eliminate from our politics insteae
of honoring those who encourage ane
instigate this debauchery of the ballo
box and put to naught the liberties Q
the people in free state Of the Ameri
can Union.

By Way Of Explanation.

Our near neighbor, the Republican
by name, but published solely in the
interests Of the renegade democrats OF
this county, has presumed totake upon
itself the defense of the illegal voting
of negroes in Mingo county, and at
tempts to ridicule the writer of this
article rather than answer the charges
made.
Now, we do not propose to enter into
personalities with this publication.
We all know how it exists, we all
know its character, and its past
record, but that has nothing to do with
with the stigma that attaches to the
voting of negroes illegally by white
men in this county. We wish to avoid
any personal controversy in the matter,
and state now for the good of the COM
munity that this should not be done.
But as newspaper deeply interest
ed in the future of the section, we must
ask for an honest election. We want
to see the county grow and prosper.
and as a necessary adjunct to the de-
yelopment at the region, we wish to see
its politics made clean.
The men who are at the head of this
disgraceful faction, most of them, are
personal friends of ours, and would
lend us real assistance much more
readily than those of whom the Repub-
lican claims we are slaves. We have
known these men for long time, have
known them as the staunchest demo-
Gratis and honest business men, and we
cannot yet believe but that they will
eventually awaken to the fact that
honesty does pay, even in politics.
There is no denying the facts, how
ever, SO we must confront them as they
really exist. If the state ofsWest vir-
ginia is part of the United States,
and this is government ofsthe people,
we claim that unless these men who
contro. present conditions change their
methods, there must be danger for them
and trouble for the entire community.
We think reconciliation and calm con-
sideration the better plan, and when
we expose fraud in our local affairs we
do SO for the good Of the section.
AS for the whimperings of the little
sheet that is controlled and fed by the
powers that be, we shall attend TO its
solicitude at the4proper time.

Shooting at Cub Hollow.

Tom, the son of Van Mahon,
and Henry Mccoy had severe
fracus near McCoy's home on
last Saturday eve, in which none
was hurt. Then again, on Mon
day, about five clock Mccoy and
wife saw Mahon sitting on a log
some distance below home, and
deciding to make him fight or
.'skiddoo," began shooting.
Mr.. Mahon, seeing he was in
danger ran to Geo. Duty's and
secured shot gun and went back
to meet Mccoy and his wife.
When they came in sight of each
other they all began shooting,
several bullets falling close
around them. Fortunately no
one was hurt, not even one shot
taking effect, though many we're
fired.
During the shooting match and
and previous to this time there
had been had been many quar-
rels and dific ulties, and at times
they would go so far as to shoot
along the road, but was just a
banter" it seems.
Times are very hot at this
place and serious troubles may
terminate, though everything
seems settled now. It5has been
a custom for many years at this
place for the people to fight and
nothing be done, butt think it is
time for the law-abiding people
of Mingo to take hold and stop
such scandals

BABY BURNS INA
TENT At MOAPA

Thursday afternoon at the Home
ranch about six miles west of
Moapa, the three year old son of
James Pinkney was burned so
severely that he died within a few
hours. The child was playing in
the tent when the father, who was
a short distance away. noticed that
the tent was on fire. He made all
possible haste TO the spot only to
find that the baby was frightfully
burned. The poor little fellow
was broght to Las Vegas by the
anguished father, but died in the
fathers arms after leaving the
train and before he could reach
the hospital.
The funeral was held at the
Griffith undertaken" parlors Fri
day afternoon. The case was a
very sad one. The mother died
only a short time ago and the
bercaved husband and father is
doubly afflicted by the loss Of his
baby boy.-Las Vegas Age.

FOUND DEAD IN SAGEBRUSH

An Fly dispatch of the 2ist to
the Reno Gazette says:
Lying out in the sagebrush with
his body badly decomposed and with
the end of a rife barrel in his
mouth an unknown prospector wa.
found yesterday on the desert
about 60 miles from Fly.
The old man had first burned all
of his papers ana personal effects
in a camp fire. and then lying on
the desert with the rifle barrel in
his mouh bad fired the gun with a
string and killed himself. The
top of his head was shot completely
away and death must have been
instantaneous.
The man was about 60 years of
age and from the outfit he
possessed it is believed that he was
a prOspector. He had bald head
and sandy mustache and it is be-
lieved that he was a German. The
aged man had chosen a lonely spot
north of Ely about 60 miles in
which to end his life and it is
estimated that he had been dead
nearly three weeks when found.
The men who found him buried the
body where it was found without
any ceremony and no inquest will
be held.
