The Show Last Xlght.
The exhibition given by Bahlhcru
k Brown's Novelty Company at Centen
nial Hall last night, was the beet of its
kiml ever seen here. The people have
been so often bilked, by persons repre
senting themselves to he legerdemain
ists, that not over one hundred attend
ed, only a very few ladies being present.
I’rofeskor Buhlborn performed some
wonderful feats. He passed a inch
sword among the audience to satisfy
them that it was what he represented
it to be. and then run about a foot and
a half of it down his throat. This feat
was accomplished on the floor in the
midst of the audience. He swallowed
a hat lull of blazing cotton, and then
drew enough ribbons out of his throat
to start a milliner shop. He ladled
blazing oil into-bis month, with appa
reritlyas much relish as* a hungry miner
would bean soup, and did many other
things which astonished and pleased his
audience. Thu decapitation act, in
which a man was apparently beheaded
on the stage, was well executed, and
though everybody knew that they were
being deceived, none could detect the
deception. To-night there will bo a
change of programme, but the decapi
tation act will be repeated, if desired.

Good Singing.
The jury in the St. Clair case was
kept in the Court house under the sur
veillance of an otlicer iast night. Some
of the jurors are flrst-elass vocalists,
and while airing themselves upon the
roof of the Court-house, sang somo pop
ular songs, Passers-by stopjasl on the
sidewalk until quite a crowd had con
gregated.and when the singers stopped,
the applause, as they say of political
meetings, was tremendous.

THE ST. CLAIR TRIAL.
A Jnry Impaneled at Last—'The Indict
ment Missing, but Safe in the Vault.
At 3 o’clock, yesterday afternoon,
the panel of jurors in the St. Clair case
was filled, and sworn to try the defend
ant in accordance with the law, as laid
down by the Court and the evidence,
as sworn to by witnesses. Some seventy
jurors \tere examined, from whom the
following named were accepted:
John Byrnes, Antone Hinkey, Ash
Lane, I’at Maguire, Thomas Benson,
Robert Gifford, W. II. Wookock, Paul
Jasmine, Joseph Myers, William Bailey,
Desire Pascal and John Richards.
As the District Attorney was about
to open the Court for the prosecution,
the indictment could not be found.
The Clerk instituted a search for the
missing document, and all sorts of
rumors were set afloat relative to its
effect on the defendant if it could not
be found. Some contended that the
defendant having been in jeopardy, by
reason of the jury having been impan
eled, could not be tried again even if
another indictment should be found
against him, while others held that the
indictment as recorded in the minutes
of the Court was sufficient. The law
yers had very little to say about the
matter, and the Court remarked that
the document was certainly mislaid,
as he should be sorry to believe that
some designing person had taken or
destroyed it, and to give the Clerk
opportunity to search for it among his
papers, Court adjourned until 10 o’clock
to-day.
Tiie missing paper was found by the
Clerk, securely stowed away in the
vault, where he had put it for safe
keeping, shortly after Court adjourned.
TIIE CASE OPENED.
Quite a number of spectators were
present when Court opened to day.
The defendant, accompanied by his
devoted wife, who has explicit faith in
his innocence, took their accustomed
places inside the railing. The Clerk
called the names of the jurors, and all
responded. The District Attorney read
the indictment, the plea of the defend
ant, and opened the case for the State.
THOMAS CAMPBELL
Was the first witness called on the
stand. lie said he was at Lovelock on
the 2Sth day of July last, hauling posts
frost the station to Mar zen’s ranch ;
passed Tulley’s ranch about sundown.
Witness was asked to point out on a
map of the scene of the alleged murder,
the place where he last saw deceased
alive. Witness was on a four-horse
wagon, probably eight feet high while
sitting on the seat; something over a
quarter of a mile from Tully’s, he heard
a shot; looked up and saw' defendant
firing a pistol near Tully’s house; heard
throe shots ; defendant walked up a few
steps and squatted down ; defendant
then got up and run toward Tully’s
house ; he then came back, and witness
heard a shot from a small pistol ; de
fendant then walked up toward the
station and met some person on horse
back ; he stopped a few minutes and
then started toward home ; witness
then went toward ths Tally place to
see what he had done ; when I got into
the road defendant was 150 rods off
lying down ; I found Tully laying
dead on the bridge, the body with the
left side on the bridge, a small pistol in
the right hand ; defendant fired the
three shots I saw; the report was loud ;
the ground between where I was
and the bridge where I found Tully
is level; crops growing on the laud;
wheat and barley was partly headed
out. Theodore Wild accompanied me
to where the body was found. The
bridge I alluded to is at Tally’s house.
The bridge is about five rods from the
house. This oeeured in Humboldt
county, State of Nevada. Defendant
went from the house to the bridge in a
hurry; the shot then fired did not make
as loud a report as the first shots; when
lie fired the large pistol he squatted
down; he also did when he fired the
small pistol. The bridge is made of
railroad ties, and is higher than the
surrounding country.
Cross-examination: Have known de
fendant'about two years; I worked for
him; 1 raised a crop on his place on
shares; heard him make threats against
deceased; he told me if I would swear
Tully threatened to kill him, lie would
give me four of the best cows he hail;
he said, "if you will swear that, I will
go and kill the s— of a b-heard
him make threats often; he said if he
could not do any better, he would kill
Tully.

A CHINESE HIGHWAYMAN.
ne Waylays^ Murders and Robs a Team
ster and is Pot to Death by His
Countrymen.
The Elko papers give the particulars
of a murder and robbery perpetrated
by a Chinaman in the northern part of
the county. It appears that on last
Thursday G. W. Mardis, better known
as “ Allegheny,” left Island Mountain
with a four-horse team for Elko, to get
^ load of goods for a Chinese store
keeper, named Lem, at Island Moun
tain. He hail about 9*250 on his person,
and nothing was seen or heard of “Alle
gheny ” or the team until Saturday,
when the latter was found by a party
of white men, about five miles from
Island Mountain. The horses w'ere
nearly famished for food and water, and
no signs of the driver could be found.
A short distance from the team bare
foot tracks were found, and these were
followed for a mile, when the person
making them, evidently put on a pair
of Chinese shoes. The trail led to a
Chinese settlement, near Island Moun
tain, and was followed to a cabin occu
pied by a Chinaman, who saw Lem give
the money to “Allegheny.” The
Chinaman was also seen some distance
from Island going from w here the team
was found. These circumstances pointed
so directly at the guilt of the China
man, that a party of herders arrested
him and took him to Mountain City.
A number of persons, with the China
man in charge, left for the place where
the team was found, to search for
“ Allegheny ” and see w'hether the
naked foot of the suspected Chinaman
filled the tracks leading from the wagon.
The party found the body of “ Alleg
heny,” who had been shot and stabbed
to death. The suspected Chinaman
acknowledged that he had murdered
the teamster. He wa3then turned over
to the Chinamen, who put him to death.
Conductor Hopkins informs us that
he learned at Elko yesterday that
Mardis, who was elected a delegate
from Island Mountain, to one of the
county conventions, had $700 in coin
on his person when the Chinaman mur
dered him.
Of Interest to School Trustees.
The intelligence has just reached us
through the Superintendent oi Public
Instruction, that the Attorney General
advises, in case School Trustees neglect
to make the proper report of their
school district to the County Superin
tendents, as required by law, that the
County Superintendents deprive them
of their share of school money. It looks
as if it would be rough treatment to
deprive a school district of its share of
the school funds because of the negli
gence of the Trustees, but it seems
that is the law of the matter.
Admitted to Citizenship.
In the District Court yesterday John
Diehl, a native of Germany, was admit
ted to citizenship upon the testimony of
Henry Peters and George A. Walker ;
and James Melloy, a native of Ireland,
was also admitted to citizenship upon
the testimony of L. A. Buckner and
It. C. Thomas.
Killed by a Cave.
The Times-Review says that a miner
named Thomas Cocking was killed by
a cave in the Giand Prize mine last
Tuesday. He was a native of Corn
wall, aged about 3d years.
Lively Business.
The railroad is doing a lively busi
ness both in the passenger aud freight
tratfic just now. Special trains are the
order of the day, aud of the night, too,
for that matter.

SPECIAL LOCALS.
In the Whole History of Medicine
No preparations has ever performed
such marvelous cures, or maintained so
wide a reputation as Ayrb’s Cherry
Pectoral, which is recognized as the
world’s remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long-continued
series of wonderful cures in all climates
has made it universally known as a safe
and reliable agent to employ. Against
ordinary colds, which are the forerun
ners of more serious disorders, it acts
speedily and surely, always relieving
suffering, and often saving life. The
protection it affords, by its timely use
in the throat and lung disorders of
children, makes it an invaluable reme
dy to be kept always on hand in every
home. No person can afford to be
without it, and those who have once
used it never will. From their knowl
edge of its composition and effects,
physicians use the Cherry Pectoral
extensively in their practice, and cler
gymen recommend it. It is absolutely
certain in its remedial effects, and will
always cure where cures are possible.
