SuspIcrous.-The Virginia city police

suspicious characters who arrived on
the Pioneer stage at midnight last night.
John S~paulding, road agent of the stage
line, sent us dispatch this morning,
of which the following is a copy |:
Cisco, October II, I P. M.-Look out
for two thieves; one is bald-head-the
other is a chicken-thief. They will be
in Virginia tonight, on stage. JOHN
SpAULDISG." later telegram says that
the bald-head goes by the lame of Bill
Hamilton, and the lover Of chickens
gave his name at Colfax as Perkins
supposed to be Dana Perkins, a notori-
GUS character of many years standing in
the lower end of Placer county-where
Hamilton sometimes makes his head
quarters. They are desperate charac-
tiers, and it has been surmised by some
persons have had something to do with
the late highway robberies aud sus-
picion has even been expressed that these
men know something Of the Geiger
Grade robbery, committed q year or
two ago. Hamilton is q thick-set man,
red-face, bald as II bladder, aud looks
like Badly Green. Perkins is large,
heavy-set man, red. fat face, brown
hair, light eyes, dresses well, quite gen.
tlemsnly in his department, and would
hardly be suspected OF robbing n hem
roost. Captain George Downey and
Chief Edwards are on the lookout. If
they are caught, we will make II "note

AT HALF MAsr.-The flags of the Saw
age and many other mining companies
on the Comstock are at half mast to-day,
in testimony of respect for John McCaul,
who was killed OF yesterday by pitch
ing headlong down the Savage shaft.
Although McCaul's body fell into the
south compartment, it was found in the
middle compartment, where 1t was
doubtless thrown by coming in contact
with timbers near the bottom OF the
shaft. The body was crushed into n
shapeless mass, hardly u whole bone
remaining. Coroper Gartrell held an
inquest on the body yesterday after
noon. Deceased was II native of st.
Joseph, Canada, OF French ~psrentage,
and about IS years Of age. He has rela-
tives living in Carson and Gold Hill.

business men of Gold Hill and Virginia,
printed schedules of stamp duties; that
i, has. come TO his knowledge that the
law is being violated every day-and
that he takes this method to give to
business men generally u preliminary
warning that il the provisions of the
stamp law are not fully complied with,
m action will be commenced against
any one who it is known has violated
said law. All bills over $50 require a
two cent stamp.
FIRE.-An alarm of FIRE was sounded
about fifteen minutes after $ o'clock
last evening, caused by the partial
burning of Schneider's stable situated
in rear of Turn-Verein Hall. The hre
was found to be in the roof and wall of
the building, and was evidently the
work of an incendiary. The engines
were promptly on the ground and the
flames were suodued before any ex-
tended damage was done.-Cdr. Appeal.
