u EVENING NEWS.

.,nroached us and remarked that HI
was TO pay at the Overman mine. Civ
ing US an outline Of the origin Of the
supposed row, we At once decided to 60
down and see what was going on, but
before we went out Of town, the police
force were twittering their whistles in
all directions. Crowds of men were in
front of US, and the road behind US was
filed, all eager TO see and to hear what
was going on. 4 walk of Ave minutes
brought us TO the mine, where quite 4
large crowd had already assembled.
The majority Of those present were own
ers of stock in the mine-aud therefore
felt u lively interest in what was going
on. Shortly after our arrival, Mr.. Sam
Curtis, who claims 20 have been APP
pointed by the Trustees of the COM
pany TO supercede Mr.. Mccullough as
Superintendent, came from the Office
10 the works, and stated that he
was the Superintendent Of that mine,
and would now take control of il" and
ordered the men 10 go down and go to
work. A portion of them were lowered
into the mine, and a portion would not
20 down. At this %juucture Sheriff Null
cahy and several others arrived and
went into the works. A statement OF
the matter was made to him, when he
decided that Mr.. Mccullough was in
possession OF the mine, and 10 make an
attempt 10 force him out was calculated
TO create u disturbance of the peace;
and as an officer, it was bis duty to pre-
vent any act calculated TO cause a dis
turbance; aud Mccullough could only
be removed BY process of law. Thisde-
cision Of the Sheriff was loudly cheered
by a large number of the outsiders who
had remained in the works after ;he
crowd had been expelled by the officers.
The doors were forced open by thecrowd.
Mr.. Mccullough then came forward and
said he was the Superintendent OF the
Overman mine, and told the remainder
OF the men TO go below to work, which
thew did. The fires were again started
in the furnaces, which had been drawn
a, the time that Mr.. Curtis assumed
command. and steam was soon up, when
the work Of hosting ore commenced.
Bv this time the crowd numbered some
$50 or 100 persons. The crowd then
started for town. The Town Marshal
had 4 large force present, and the Sher-
IFS deputies, remained during the night
to prevent any disturbance OF the peace.
At one time a serious difficulty was
miueu,, bu, the vigilance Of the officers
kept everything quiet.
CAPrrRED.-There was n good deal OF

strange craft. known as Sheriff Mulcahy,
sailed his frigate into the premises,
knocking things endwayS, TO the aston
ishment OF Curtis. Mccullough, the en-
gineer. and all hands. The ship was
re-cap,ured, Captain Curtis displaced,

a new chew of shortcut, and straight
way went and took possession OF the
blacksmith shop, seated himself on the
anvil, and with y short rope commenced
blowing the bellows, This WAS deci-
dedlv cool-Geu. Grant would say as
~much-and even Horace Greeley would
have kept mis- seat under such cIrcum-
stances. Lib. Hastings and Major Price,
seeing Sans discomfort. and not know
ing really how it might terminate on the
cold, cold, anvil, came TO town IN a
buggy and gotta bottle Of old Bourbon
as Sam had sworn that he would remain
on ship-board all night. We presume
that Sam and Mccullough had a sniff
ter over the slight /" onpleasantness
on the short voyage they had taken in
the Overman ship, and he left with the
promise Of seeing him again. We saw
Sam sailing towards Virginia, through
