The Eureka Sentinel gives" the following version of the killing of William Redmond at Cortez: "It seems that Dave Martin keeps boarding house at Cortez.

During meal time on Monday but whether breaksast, dinner or supper is not stated Martin is alleged to have jumped up from the table and ex claimed, 'This tning must be explained before anyone leaves the at the same time drawing a revolver and firing at a man named Redmond, mortally wound ing him. Martin then attempted to shoot a man named Henly. but Mrs. Martin, who was near by, caught her husband's arm and prevented him from carrying out his murderous design. Redmond lin eered for about five minutes and died.

He had only a few days be fore returned from Carlin, where he has a small farm, but unable to se cure work around the machine shops there, and thinking his wife could take care of their little piece of ground, he Went to Cortez in search of employment. Martin, at latest accounts, was still at liberty. Immediately on receipt or the news, Sheriff Sweeney, although an invalid and barely able to get around on crutches, made preparations to go to Cortez and investigate the matter. He left on yesterday's train, and we have no doubt he will be able, with the aid or the good citizens of Cortez, to arrest Martin and bring him to Eureka lor trial." CiEODETIC Nl'RVBY.

In- CHAKBft AND IMPROVEMENTS COING ON A Good Health Report and tients Doing Well. Pa- The unfortunate wards of the State deserve the best of care, and it is the duty of the taxpayer to take more than a general interest in seeing their asylum properly administered. Dr. Bishop, the Superintendent, says that he is taking all possible pains to make everybody who calls feel right at home, at all hours and times. He denies the story started in the papers that visitors are not allowed to see the patients at their meals, but says anyone who desires can do so.

The writer availed himself of the privilege yesterday, and found the table set with a meal QUITE GOOD ENOUGH For anyone, and much healthier than if it had consisted of highly-seasoned dishes and desserts of cake, pies and candies or sweetmeats. Three slices of fresh, light and sweetbread lay before each plate, and in a large tin pan near by was a plentiful reserve. A savory beef stew was being dished up, and in each plate was laid a boiled dump ling. A good ration of boiled turnips was given to each, and a bread pudding was divided in liberal allowances among them. Beef and mutton alternate each day, and the puddings and sauces are changed often.

Coffee is served at break fast, and tea with the supper. Half a pint or miiK a day is given each patient, and they use it as they like best, either to drink or- as seasoning for coffee, tea or on their puddings, it takes quite a piut a day for the man, including what is used to cook, and they always have butter. The asyluni owns nine cows, that furnish Uu gallons of pure, good milk a day. The diet is RELIEVED FROM MONOTOXY By occasional messes of ham, fish. bacon, etc.

The doctor is raisins; quite a quantity of pork for Winter use. xle nas zl bead of hogs, and they keep fat and sleek from what is left from the patients' meals, which shows that no one suffers from hunger. In the health statistics are the best contradiction the stories of starving, that have gone out. rne attendant in each ward makes a report to Dr. Berg- stein each day, showing the condition, occupation and health of each inmate, and they show au average sick list of only 1.93 per day.

One of these was a consumptive, who never will be- well, and is always counted, so less than one average individual is sick out Of nearly lou men and women. SUCH A RECORD Could hardly be found among a similar numberof people anywhere. The doctor says the fifth gallon of whisky has not all disappeared since his term of office began, five months ago. He hasn't used $10 worth of medicine yet. Everything, however, that will relieve the monotony is encouraged.

The Saturday evening dances are still continued, and all patients who show any inclination to be busy are given work to do. As soon as they tire or it, tney are allowed to rest, or quit it entirely. Enough of them like work to materially reduce the expenses of the i nsti tion. An average of over 27 are kept busy. One man has made over 200 shirts for the inmates, and an other mends all the socks.

They do tailoring, shoemaking, laundry and kitchen work, sweep and scrub the wards and halls, and work on the grounds and in the ranch and garden. With one guard, they gather nearly enough sagebrush to run the furnaces, saving in fuel considerably. The party is not out over a half a day at a time, and the guard is paid at the rate of $40 a month, so tnat tne ruei of that kind only costs ia a THE NEW BOILER HOUSE Has effected quite a reduction in the wood used, also. By the old arrangement, all the bojlers were heated in order to get hot water for the laundry or bath-rooms, because the hot water bojler was placed above the steam boilers, and was heated by steam pipes from the big boilers, so that the whole battery had to be fired up to get a little hot water for any purpose, in the new house, a furnace is built under the hot water boiler, and the big steam boilers will not be heated, except when thy are needed to heat the asylum in Winter, A saving of over $100 a month la claimed by the change. The old boiler-room makes a very fine kitchen, and is a great improvement ovw the small and low one used before.

If an explosion should ever occur, no great harm can come to the main building, while by tne old way it would have been torn all to pieces, and great loss of life would have resulted. THBOLP MANAGEMENT PATRONIZE DIRECT IMPORTATION. the laud is reduced to cultivation, there will be a still better showing. The doctor Is devoting HIS WHOLE TIME To the work, and is doing his best to make a successful administra tion in every respect. He has had but one escape, and that only lasted a few hours.

It was an exceed ingly crafty and daring one, but the hole has been stopped. The doctor com plai us that counties send men to him that ought to be in the poor-house. Douglas has a consumptive there, who is not crazy, but is too weak to work, and that county should pay for his keeping, or provide for him at home. It is an injustice to the tax payers of other counties to burden the State with a county's poor, Drs. Bishop and Bergstein show their books with considerable pride Walter Marsden is an expert pen man, and is very zealous and ef ficient in his work.

He does not confine his attentions to his own desk, but takes hold of everything, and does anything that the inter ests of the institution dictates. Dr, Bishop says he is quite proud of his position, and of the he made to get it against such a senti ment as was Diuit up against a change by men like Hon. W. E. F.

Deal and papers like the Gazette, and he is going to prove that the appointment was a good one. He is particularly proud or the tact that, though he encountered a great deal of opposition, yet no one assailed him personally, or touched his private character. thinks he is perfectly able to make a success of his administration, and for the good of the State and his patients, as well as himself, the Gazette hopes he may. CMfXKSE THICKER V. A Legal Fiasco In Judge Field's Court.

The habeas corpus case of the Chinaman Li Ho, before Judge Field, of the United States District Court Thursday morning was a legal fiasco. The Chinaman mentioned in the petitiou claimed that, as a native of Hongkong and a subject of Great Britain, he had a right to land. When the case was called it was found that the Chinaman who was produced was not the Chinaman named in the writ, the latter having been permitted to come ashore on a "return certificate." On the counsel's statement that he could produce the real man, Judge Field issued a new writ, returnable Saturday. It is stated that the case is a manufactured one, gotten up to test the liestnction Act. the Chinaman mentioned in the peti tion knew nothing of the matter, but was selected by the parties pre senting the case simply because he was believed to be a Hongkong Chi naman.

A Plate Woman's Olfaetories. The Virginia Enterprise says: The other day a stalwart Piute matron, built like a Dutch lugger, pounced upon a long linen apron that had been thrown out from a street saloon. She held the apron before her eyes, spread to its full width, and was admiringly gazing upon it, as was her mother, her grandmother and great-grandmother, when her hose suddenly gave her information in regard to the article about which her eyes had left her in the dark. "Poof!" cried she, and the end of her stumpy little smeller withdrew to the vicinity of her eyebrows- "poof; one Chinaman apron," and she tossed apron as far as she could send it. "Poof! poof!" cried the several grandmothers, and all their little wrinkled noses went up well onto their foreheads.
