Cow CREEK BRIDGE.-This week, in com
pany with County Assessor Ladd, we rode
over the new bridge across Little Cow Creek.
at UlH's ranch, we being the first borsemen
to cross the structure. This bridge is really
a neat and substantial work, built in such a
manner as to insure its permanenee against
all floods and freshets, and is a credit to the
contractor, who has fulfilled every require
ment of his contract with the Board Of Su-
pervisors.

ARREsTED.-For several years past the
Washington Quartz Company, at French
Gulch, have given employment to a man
named J. A. Lutty, who attended to the
feeding of the mill. A few days ago the mill
stopped temporarily, and Lutty gave out that
he was going to Shasta for few days, and
also remarked that he might possibly extend
his visit to Red Bluff He accordingly came
to this place and stopped day or two, and
then took the stage for Red Bluff As some
members of the company entertained strong
suspicious that Lutty was dishonest, strict
watch was kept upon his manmuvres. On
arriving at Red Bluff he repaired to Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S Express Office and deposited
eighteen ounces of gold amalgam therein,
with orders to have it sent to certain assay.
er in Marysville. On learning this fact,
Special Deputy Sheriff B. D. Anderson ar
rested him and brought him back to this
place, where he was lodged in Jail. Lutty
has hitherto borne fair reputation for hon
esty among his associates, who are somewhat
surprised at the turn affairs have taken.

CHEEKY.-Some time last summer man
named Henry Shaffer emigrated from this
county to Lassen, where be took sick and
finally died. A few days ago our District
Attorney and Board of Supervisors were
astonished by the reception of bills against
this county, to tie amount of $50, for medl-
cal attendance and burial expenses of the
said Henry Shaffer. These bills were duly
certified to before John Ward. Notary Pub
lie, and were presented in behalf of L, n.
Roop and T. N. Spaulding. Our District
Attorney laid the bills before the Board, with
the statement that he knew of no law author
izing their payment. The Board then refer
red the accounts to us. After careful exam
ination we have arrived at the conclusion
that l. n. Roop possesses quantity OF brass
sufficient to justify him in resgning his posi-
tion as District Attorney Of Lassen county
and setting up in the foundry business. Just
think of it! If we pay those bills, none
of our citizens will be safe after having
once crossed the Lassen boundary line
especially II he should be taken with slight
illness and call in the services of DIR. Spauld-
ing. The bills have been rejected.
