RADIO was the scene of another dangerous affray
last Saturday night, which happened as fol-

somewhere near Cave City, is the friend of The
man Beach, who some time ago stabbed VIM
Holt in fight, and in self defense. Holt and
Husband met in a saloon, when the latter re-
minded Holt of his difficulty with Beach, and
goaded him in regard to the manner in which
it terminated. Holt not wishing a quarrel,
avoided Husband, but was again and again
met, insulted and threatened. AT length he

CALIFORNIA WHITE OAK-The California
Farmer says that Mr. Charles A Lowering
has discovered white oak, of the very best
quality, on Albion River, Mendocino county.
The editor of the Farmer had received whip
stock cut from that locality of so elegant and
plable quality that it can be bent up like a
hoop. There is any quantity of that timber
in the region above mentioned Also in the
same region there are extensive forests of
splendid oak, such as is wanted for ship tim
Der. 1t has been generally supposed hereto
fore that California was destitute of the above
desirable timber, and, therefore, the discovery
is very valuable one.

of the United States ship st. Marys, stationed

the Navy, and says:
You, sir, have called upon your brother Off

try, but to betray their sacred trust, and deliver
up the ships under their command This infa-
nous appeal would in ordinary times, be treat

HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-The Nevada Journal
says: Alvin Cove and John Brodie, who live
in a cabin near Little Deer creek bridge, came
into town yesterday morning and stated that
they had been robbed Of all the money in their
possession, while on their way home the night
before Brodie, it appears had been drinking
pretty freely, and late in the evening the two
men started for their cabin. While crossing
the bridge, Brodie fell down, and Cove was in
the act of picking him up, when two highway
men suddenly made their appearance and de-
manded their money. Cove offered some
resistance, when one of the robbers struck at
him with knife, and cut a severe cash on
his right hand, They then took twenty dollars
from Cove, and Brodie says they relieved him
of fifty; but as the latter was out Of money
the night before, and was not in a condition to
appreciate exactly what was done, his account
of the affair is not deemed very reliable.

IL A SHAFr.-A COW, belonging to Messrs.
Keyes, of Cement Hill, says the Grass Valley
National, died on Thursday and a teamster at
work on the ranch, hitched span of horses
to the carcass for the purpose of throwing it
into an abandoned shaft. The shaft was 60
feet deep, and the teamster managed not only
to get the body of the dead animal in, but also
one of the horses. A windass was procured,
a man lowered into the shaft, who adjusted u
rope around the horse, by means of which the
animal was raised to the surface, and was
apparently but little injured by the fall.

EXTENSIVE SLulcE RoBBING.-The sluice
boxes of Messrs. Huff 4 Co, at Gopher Hill,
were robbed on the night of Thursday the l4th.
From appearances. there must have been five
or six men engaged in the work. They went
to work Systematically, first going to the ditch
and letting on the water, and then cleaning the
sluices from beginning to end. They must
have worked good portion of the night. The
sluices contained all the gold made by the work
OF fifteen men for two weeks, and from the
amount the claims had been paying, it is sup
posed the robbers got between 81 900 and ST.
500. So far as we are aware, the owners of
the claims have no clue to the robbers.
