state.
The season is, so far, very favorable for all
kinds of labor, though some two or three hot
days have been experienced in which the mer-

The Circus of Lee & Ryland, recently here
did not draw as successfully as that of Aymar

but the vigilance of Deputy Sherif's Crutcher
and Donovan, and a forced journey after

trail to Idaho City, saved their necks, by the
safety of the county Jail. ARGUS
