g. THE CAPTAIN AGAIN.-The redoubtable
Captain Jonathan Il. Davis, who left Nevada
about the first of last week, to attend to his
quartz mill at Grass Valley, has been heard
from. On Saturday, some of the Captains
friends in this place received letters from one
Amos c. Johnson, stating that the Captain had
been called to Dutch Flat to see dying FRIEND;
that while on the way he was thrown from his
horse, and injured SO badly that there was no
hope Of his recovery. The Captain had several
thousand dollars in his purse and requested
Mr.. Johnson to say that he would send over
enough to square up his small accounts in
Nevada, or have it forwarded by express in case
he died. The letters read very much as the
Captain talks, and the handwriting of one of
them is found on comparison to bear u re-
markable resemblance to that of the Captain.
If the Captain should never be heard of again,
his Nevada friends may rest assured that he is
dead, and that this Mr.. Johnson, who had the
Captains money, and was instructed to pay his
little bills, has absconded with the funds.
DIED.-Thos. Stakum, who killed Maloney
at South Fork, on the evening of October 9th,
and was afterwards severely beaten by Ma
loney's friends, died on Sunday last of his in
juries. A gentleman who heard the evidence
before the coroner's jury, states that Maloney
and Stakum were about equally to blame in the
difficulty which resulted i'll their death.
SCHOOL ChNsUs.-Tho Trustees of Nevada
School District have appointed Mr.. J. A. Girls
void to take the census of the school children
of the District. This District includes all that
part of Nevada township north of Deer creek.
The returns have to be made out by the first
Monday in November.
+ No COMPLAINTS, that we have heard of,
were made either yesterday or to-day, for vio-
lating the Sunday law. A few places, coming
within the law, were kept open last Sunday,
but on the whole, the law was tolerably well
observed.
