From Nevada Representative March 10, 1880

A boy aged about 15, of Boone, by the name of Paxton, was killed the other day by another boy about 13 years of age, striking him over the head with a cane. The two boys got into a quarrel when the younger grabbed a cane from the hands of a crippled boy standing by, and dealt the fatal blow. The victim lived only a few moments after receiving the blow.
