drunken men are apt to do, and to show that
he was up to some such deviltry as will in all
,nrohability bring some of the deadly.weapon-
aourishers in this section of Washoe to a
b,sty gallows, one of these cloudy days.
This chap had huge bowie-knife in his belt,
and seemed to take particular pains to push
his coat back, in order that people might see
his weapon.

a few minutes afterwards we saw him coming
out Of certain saloon minus his hat. Nor
al-Never take any desperate chances.
OWNER wANTED.-In our perambulationS
about Virginia yesterday afternoon, we came
upon team standing on B street, in front Of

over with mud, with the traces hanging about
their heels, the poor animals looked really

LOOK Orr FOR BURGLARs.-Now that the
roads have become so disagreeable, the thieves
who have made them terror for two or three
