DOWN IN CARSON

Judge Dewitt {. Turner "The
Laureate" of Reno, recently
visited the old town of C~ar.on, and
he gives his impressions of the
place to the Western Nevada Miner
in the following verses:
You can hear wild turkeys snesze
Do wn in Carson in the trees;
Now and then you hear an owl
And coyotes mournful howl
Down in Carson.
The town is so awful dead
That natives stay in bed;
When through gawking at the train
They rush back to bed again.
Down in Carson.
Like a farm to all intents-
Only lacks a barn yard fence:
It's so quiet there at night
Even cats stav out of sight.
Down in Carson.
The old-timers full of talk
All about the Old Comtock:
And they keep on Ger and DER
Probing at the same old sore,
Down in Carson.
Windows out rags in their place.
Towels gone-can't wipe your
face: .
Water cold-no pillow slip,
In Carson's old Zulu ship,
Down in Carson.
Cows down there suck themselves,
Just to break their sleepy spells;
Boosters all forget to crow,
Pretty though, I'd let you know.
Down in Carson.

MEXICAN WAS STABBED

There was war among the
Mexicans Sunda, right but the
cause and incidents connected
herewith are carefully concealed.
in the characteristic fashion of the
race
A Mexican fell in front of the
Hub saloon about 1880 o'clock in
the evening and examination
proved that he had received a stab
in The region of the heart. He
was taken to the Miss ouri lodging
house and cared for by Dr..
Dempsey. The wound was almost
directly over the heart and how
the man escaped instant death is
hard to conjecture.
Chief of Police Paul LIGHTHOUSE
and Night Waterman ". A. Lee
got busy or the case and a Mexican
who was with tho injured man was
lodged in Jail, but protests his
innocence and the wounded will
not tell who committed the deed.
Drops of blood on the sidewalk
were traced from the place where
the wounded mar fell to the front
of the Leonesio building. The
man in Jail asserts that the
stabbing occurred south of the
Kent store and that he took the
wounded mar into the passage way
between Vannoy's harness shop and
the Leonesio building to examine
the injury. However, no traces of
blood could be found EXCEPT as
above noted.
Search was made and two knives
and a Z were found in the
alley at the rea of the Hub. One
was a large jack knife and the
other was a sort of kitchen knife,
with a six inch blade and sharp
point. 1t is the belief OF the
officers that the Mexicans got rid
of their cutlery with ~alacrity as
soon as the report went out that
the stabbing Lad occurred.
The injured mar is reported
getting along nicely at the
hospital, nov being able to sit up.
But he has not yet given out
any information as to who is
guilty of inhicting the wound

giants of the class with eight
miles to their credit.
Every part of the country furn-
ishes specimens of these dwarf
roads. They are found in mining
districts, where their services are
often invaluable: they make things
convenient for visitors to scenic Sec

Mr.. Chairman:
Nevada is usually by those I'M

cred a desert in which there
re occasional good mines. 1t is,

tfason why Elko county should not
