Arrest of Desertcrs.

On. Tuesday last four men on foot arrived
a. the house of Mr.. Bradley, located on the
Weayerville stage road, some three or four
miles on the other side of Trinity Mountain.
Two of the men moved Immediately on, and
two stopped TO refresh themselves Whisky
composed all the refreshing qualities required
and they took so much of that as to set their
tongues loose. They became very taikative,
told that they and their two companions who
had zone ahead were deserters from Fort
CASTOR. Humboldt county: that they hao
left their government blankets and uniforms
at point some twenty five miles back, and
described the point so minutely that Bradley
thinks be can go to the spot and recover them
One of the two that stopped behind had on
sort of Chinese over garment, and said they
had killed Chinaman and taken it as DIS
guise. The result of the revelations of these
two gentlemen was that on the arrival of Mr..
Mabee and another man with their teams,
Bradley secu ed their assistance to arrest the
two deserters, placed them in u wagon, and
brought them on that afternoon to the Tower
House, from whence Bradley brought them
in the stage to this place and delivered them
up to the Sheriff,
Wednesday morning Deputy Sheriff Bur-
rows and Deputy u S. Marshal Lee started
in pursuit of the other two. overlook them at
Ultzs, on Little Cow Greek, where they ar
rested them and brought them to this place
They are all four in Jail, awaiting orders from
the military authorities.
The names and positions of these deserters
are as follows:
Sergeant Fruit alias McFee. Sergeant Geo
Grayson and Private James Coutie, all OF
Co. D. California Mountaineers, Captain
Martin; Private Sol Smith, Co. A, Captain
Long.
1t is rumored that there are other charges
than desertion against McFee, and that q
large reward is offered for him. They were
all quite cheerful when locked up on Wed
nesday night, abused old whisky for getting
them into trouble, and said they would no
have deserted had they not been deceived
when they enlisted that they only enlisted
as scouts and rangers during the Indian wal
in that region, but the officers we're trying tt
hold them for three years. They say this II
wrong, and not in accordance with the ex
press terms of their volunteering, hence thei
present position.

The Fourth.

The a-ran gemenss for celebrating the anni-
xersarv Of our Nations birthday were not on
a grand scale, intended to bring together the
citizens of the county. but as an exhibition OF
private enterprise on the part of Mr.. Greiner,
and of devotion to the day and its associa-
atoms on the part of our citizens, the affair
was certainly success in the fullest sense OF
the word.
At4 o'clock, P. NJ, large crowd assem-
BIed in Greiner's pavilion to witness the GER
emonies of the occasion. Two patriotic songs
were sung by the Shasta Glee Club and en-
Enthusiastically received by the audience
Mr.. B. M. Parker then read the Declaration
of Independence, whose eighty-eighth ami
versary we were celebrating. Hon. Z. Gar
ter next delivered an oration. in which he
most happily proved, by illustration and his
tory, that on that day eighty-eight years ago
the first free nation was born. The oration
was all and more than was anticipated, even
from the eminent gentleman who delivered
it, Astounding in sound logic, historical facts,
euloges upon our free government, and
scathing rebuke for those who oppose 1T.
and was followed by another patriotic song
by the Glee Club.
The crowd then dispersed, and in the even
ing reassembled to participate in the festivi-
ties provided at the Pavilion, which was
crowded with beauty and patriotism. Flags
waved, eyes sparkled, the music sounded,
the dancers moved and when we left the
dancers were still moving, the flags were still
waving, music and mirth were heard, and
night was far spent. May the flags wave
forever, and Shasta ever be as happDpn
that Fourth of July night.

A Discussion w1D STIcKs.-During the
night Of July 4th Mr.. Ed. Cloonen became
very much excited from too free use of Old
Ardent, became belligerent, had difficulty
with young gentleman at the ball, in whiSp
the latter received slight cut in the wrist
At an early hour of the morning of the 9TH
daylight being upon the earth, Cloonen fam
cicd himself wronged by some one. whom he
thought to fight it out with The party, how
ever, having different taste. started off and
ran into the Offices of the Empire Stables,
Cloonen in hot pursuit. The noise aroused
poor Walker, who was sleeping there. and
who raised his head just in time to attract
Cloonen's attention, and got his eye bunged
Cloonen now went into the Empire Hotel and
took adverse possession to the landlord and
Jim Morrison, or any other man, giving full
vent to the brilliant fighting qualities of the
whisky absorbed. Tom Greene, the landlord,
didn't seem to like the summary and noisy
manner in which his guest had taken pos,
session, so Immediately opened the discussion
with q heavy iron poker, used generally to
stir the fire in the large bar room stove, but
on the present occasion as gentle antidote
to the poison in the whisky. A few appliea-
tions to the patients head and body had the
desired soothing effect, and he subsidized.
Complaint was made before Justice Dan
ielson by Morrison, against Cloonen, for an
assault with deadly weapon upon him.
Cloonen waived an examination, and was held
to bail in $1,000 for his appearance before the
next County Court. He gave the required
bail and was set at large. He received two
very severe cuts in the head, and heavy
blow between the shoulders, from the effects
of which it was feared he would not recover,
but is now out of danger.

STRANGE AS TRuE.-Jnst above Kelly's
Mountain House, on the stage road leading to
Weaverville, were two springs, each dis
charging large volume of water since the
memory of ths oldest inhabitant. The lower
spring is known as the Bark Spring-because
of its dischargipg al the edge of the road a
beautiful stream of water through the con,
cave Of piece of bark some five or six feet
long, the bark having been placed there by
some philanthropic traveller for the convent
ence Of himself and other persons. Now this
beautiful spring is nearly dry, having grad
uaily fallen off until but an occasional drop
falls. The spring above stopped suddenly
about the time the last big earthquake was
noticed by the San Francisco papers. We
are indebted to Gus Scammon. the best and
most gentlemanly driver on the Weavervile
road, for the above facts, and Gus wants to
know why San Franciscans peymis their
earthquakes to stray off and destroy the
beauties of his road aud dry up his water.
