Two miners got into a saloon
fight at Tuscarora last night and
one seriously stabbed the other
with a MINERS candlestick. The
injured man is under the ARE of
DR.. Colby and the other is in the
T~uscarora Jail. The mel are
strangers in Tuscarora and their
names are not known here.
W. regret to announce the death
Of Mrs. George W. Lytton at
Alameda this morning. She lived
here the greater part of her life
and was known and respected by
all the old timers. She will be
laid 10y the side Of Mr.. Lytton,
who passed away a few years ago.
Mrs. Lytton was one Of Elko's
early residents and a fitting
tribute should be paid to her
memory, but we have not the data
at hand today.
The Tuscaror n stage was caught
in a blizzard last evening and
failed TO reach its destination.
The storm vas so heavy that the
driver could not see the road and
the horses wondered off into the
sagcbrush. All mountains look
alike in a dark night and it was
impossible TO find the road until
day broke this morning. John
Able, the driver, and two or three
passengers spent a very disagree.
able night.
Governor Oddie and his associ-
atcs have selected the site for Ne
vada's building at the Panama
exposition. Wonder where the
money is TO come from to build
and equip The bull ing and pay
for coniusing the exhibit. The
last legislature in its extravaganza
appropriated $3.50 600 for this
purpose, but Governor Oddie
vetoed the bill. Had he approved
the measure. il is more than
probable that the money would be
in the pockets Of tax eaters by
this time. Former expositions
have proved useless and expensive
luxurirs for Nevada, and we wager
the prediction that the Panama
exposition will prove no exception
to the rule.
MIR. Clark Drown and Mr.. Al
Griswold returned from Illinois
yesterday with two carloads Of
Holstein and Guernsey cows and

South Fork. They we're purchased
for the South Fork Cremery com
pany. The cows have records rs
good mixers. We congratulate
South Fork on its enterprise. They
started with 90 head, but two Of
the cows caught cold at Evanston,
