"TABOOSE."
A young Indian known as Milt Clark died at the Carson Indian school a few days ago. The body arrived here this morning, and was met at the train by a number of his relatives and fellow tribesmen, with quite a procession of vehicles.

"CARSON INDIAN SCHOOL IN DISFAVOR."
Milt Clark, the young Indian whose remains were brought home from Carson last week, was the tenth to die among the students who have gone from here to enter that school. Throat or lung troubles caused each and all of the deaths. It would hardly be supposed that the climate or conditions differed so greatly from those here as to cause this heavy mortality, but such seems to be the case. As a result, the local Piutes have lost interest in that school, while allowing their boys and girls to still go there if the latter insist. They no longer encourage the idea.

"WANTED TO SHOOT RICKEY"
Summary: At Carson City, news has gained circulation that there was an attempt to kill T.B. Rickey at the Virginia & Truckee depot about two months ago. It appears that a man was sitting in one of the hotel buses, which was drawn up to the depot. As Rickey came along, the man pulled his revolver and was about to shoot Rickey. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a boy overtook Rickey with a message and walked by his side, and the avenger was afraid to fire for fear of hitting the young man. Rickey is in daily fear of being assassinated by depositors from his defunct banks, many of whom are now penniless. It is also said that Rickey confided to a friend that it would be his funeral to make a trip into southern Nevada, where hundreds of depositors have lost their earnings.
