Indians Lose Lives
In Shocking Manner

Levi Smith, a half-breed Indian,
and nis squaw lost their lives in a
shocking ann a week ago, about
five miles southwest of Schurz. It
seems that Levi and other Indians
had a contract to furnish wood to
the reservation and had pitched
their tent near the timber. Other
Indians who accompanied them re-
turned to Schurz for supplies. On
ing they found the cnarred bodies
OF Levi and the m The low

ed, were easily recognizable. The
tent, bedding and all other contente
wuere entirely destroyed.
Levi Smith lived in Hawthorne i'll
bis boyhood and always bore an I'M
savory reputation, and spent much
of his time in Jail. He was what is
known as a shop head" and it is
believed that he and his consort
were in a Supplied condition and
either knocked over a coal oil lamp
or else their clothing was ignited by
a camp fire which was burning in
the tent. They had a quart can of
wood alcohol in the tent, and it may
be that being ignorant of its leadly
properties, they drank some of the
stuff, and were dead when the fire
started. There is no suspicion Of
foul play. The woman was known
as Matte, and had previously lived
in Virginia City.-Hawtnorne Bull
