THE EVENING NEWS.

the alert to do its duty, is Liberty Hose
Company No. l. The members have
no, applied to the corporation for as.
sistance to any great extent, at any
time. but on the contrary, have main
tanned the organization out of their own
rockets, except in the matter Of rent
and occasional cleaning up of their hose.
The Town Trustees, until within about
three months, have paid the rent OF
their hall, in which we believe, they
nave only done what the taxpayers
heartily Endorsed. But the payment OF
the last three months rent seems to
hang FIRE before the Board. The bill
came up last Monday evening and was
discussed, when it was referred to Il
committee consisting of Trustee Dali
man, who is to report at the regular
weekly meeting tonight. We do not
know, of course, how Mr.. Dalman will
report, but if the Board rules adversely
to the payment of the rent, we believe it
will cause n surprise TO gu citizens.
The yearly rent of the hall of Liberty
Hose Company, is only six hundred dol
lars in currency. which is truly an in
significant item to contribute by a cor
poration like this, toward supporting
annually, one of our fire companies. AS
\ matter of justice to the gallant fire
men of Liberty Hose, and to encourage
that company TO keep up its organiza-
ton, for be it understood, they W
their apparatus and can sell it any day.,
we appeal to the Board not to withhold
the trihing stipend Of this rent.
DISPOSED Owe are happy to state
that the County Commissioners, Satur-
day afternoon, held a meeting at which
an order was passed TO send j.. c. Brad
ford, Mrs. Ramshart, and u man who
has for some time past been confined in
the hospital, to the Insane Asylum at
Stockton. IL will be remembered that
in Saturdays issue, we made reference
TO the demands of these parties for the
attention of the proper authorities.
They, it seems, like o~urSelt, saw the ne
cessity of action being taken, proceeded
TO take the necessary steps 10 have
these parties removed TO where their
maladieS will receive proper treatment.
We believe that Pat. Mulcahy, our Sher-
if elect. starts in Il day or two with the
parties for their future home. We are
truly glad that action in this matter has
been taken. AS from personal obServa-
ton We know that the two hrSt-men-
toned parties were cases that demanded
the attention of the authorities. We
hope the poor unfortuRateS may soon be
clothed in their right minds and restored
again TO their families, II once more
become useful members in society. One
thing is certain, the action OF the Com
missionerS in this case will meet with
warm appreciation from every good citi-
zen of Storey County.
POLICE CGURr.-ThiS Court for the
first time in many months, presented a
lively appearance. The Courtroom was
filed with people. while inside of the
rail was filed with prisoners and law
yers. The prisoners looking downcaSt,
many of whom had n severe headache,
and Cain-like, thought their punishment
was greater than they could bear, while
the limbs of the law looked wise and a
smile of satisfaction lit up their faces
as they saw in the dim miStS of the tu-
ture a ten or tw~enty-dollar piece. As
the case NAV be, while the Judge on his
throne of justice, looked down on trail
man with a half plying eye, yet with a
determined expression on his face which
told plainly that those who violate the
law must be punished by the law. The
number of cases in Court this morning,
were as follows, tO-wit: Disturbing the
peace, 6; arson, >; vagrancy, l; fast
driving, |. \ portion Of the cases were
disposed of by fines, while the more i'm
portant ones were continued until this
afternoon and tomorrow.
ISDIcrED.-D. Lamotte and l.. Cham
poux, two Canadian Frenchmeu, were
indicted by the Grand Jury of Lyon
county, last Saturday, charged with
grand larceny, in stealing a quantity OF
crude bullion, or amalgam, from the
Confidence mill, at Silver City. They
were to be a~rraigned to-day in the Dis
trict Court. Ed. Turner and James
Caille, arrested in Gold Hill, and taken
down 10 Lyon county, charged with be-
ing concerned in the same theftS, are
not indicted yet-or were not at noon
to-day-but are likely to be. If these
parties are guilty, they certainly deserve
severe punishment-which no doubt Will
be awarded them if the evidence is con-
elusive. No man who is placed in a
position of trust, and gets his wages,
has a right to steal from his employer.
BILLIARDs.-It will be seen by an adj
vertisemeut under "New To-day that
the washoe Exchange Billiard Saloon,
so long kept by Charley Flint, has chang
ed hands, and will hereafter be run by
A. W. Evans, of lunch-house notoriety.
Now, the truth is, Uncle Dave Evans
will ~oficiate in the saloon, and from his
well-known sociable turn, IL will be a
favorite resort for all those who wish TO
spend an hour in playing billiards or
reading the news, as the saloon is sup
piled with a hot stove and IN abundance
of arm chairs. The bar has been sup
Piled with the best liquors and cigars,
and the tables have been re-clothed;
new balls have been put in the place OF
the old ones. Call and see them. Bill
lizards twenty-five cents.
The wEArHER.-For the past week
Nevada can boast of as fine weather for
the season, as any place we have ever
seen; although little spots Of snow are
visible on the northern slopes of the
mountains that surround US on all sides,
yet in Gold Hill the weather is as pleas
ant as May. The rough winds that usu-
ally visit this region during this season
of the year are hushed, and the sun, al
though on its lowest circuit, and its
rays striking the earth very horizontally
are uncommonly warm and pleasant.
The muddy streets are drying up rap
idly and in a few days the roads will be
in excellent order. There are plenty of
worse places than the land of sage
brush.
U. S. CoxMIssIoSER's CoURr.-Joseph
T. Kennedy, who has been under arrest
for some three weeks, upon a charge OF
robbing the United States mail on the
