SUsPIcIous Two very respectable citizens
of Marysvie happened to arrive at Oroville
the other day just before the people were
ready to vote upon the proposition as To-
whether the county should subscribe $780,
uu0 for building roa from Sacramento to
Oroville. The Orovilears hqd got it into
their heads that the citizens Of Marysvllc
generally were opposed to this proposed
road. No sooner had the staid and sober
gentlemen, engaged in their own legitimate
business, arrived, than the report was circu-
lated that they were a couple Of bumners
hired by the merchants Of Marysville % work
against the subscription proposition. They
were accordingly watched with vigilant
eye. and particularly noticed on the day Of
election, the intention being to summariy
attend to their case. if they were seen to inter
fere. Wondering what in the name of all
common sense made them such objects Of
interest to the inhabitants Of the little burg"
they very dgnidedly went along about their
business and said nothing to nobody"
SO runs the story. Now, all this suspicion
about Marysyille's being SO much opposed to
the Orovilly railroad pr, jcct. is very nansen-
steal. Butte county is able to take care Of
herself and Marysville and Yula county are
perfectly willing that she should do so.
