SEVERELY CHECKED.-At n late houI
night before last, or carly yesterday
morning, two men entered the BanE
Exchange saloon, Main street, Hamilton
aud asked the barkeeper to throw dict
for the drinks. After drinking severa
times aud INDUCING in II large amount
of big talk about shooting, ETC., thsy
declared that tue barEeeper (who wal
alone in the house) owed them 81 so
aud that unless he gave them tina
amount, they would go behind thu
bar and take it from the drawer. Thu
barkecper told them they could Dc
nothing of the kind, and ordered then
out OF the house. They went out, bu'
stopped at the door and began talking
of shooting again, asserting that THU
, was White Pine, aud they could do al
they pleased. To be on the sale side
:, the barkeeper took q cooked s~ix-shootsl
, in his hand when he went to close tn,
door, and while in the attempt Of clos
, ing tho house one Of the fellows
" won't for him, and got for hi.
trouble = severe blow on the side OF the
head from the pistol, the conclusion
causing the discharge of the weapon
Considerable commotIon WAS stirred ap
in the ueishborhoOd, but nobody wal
injured, except that the desperate re.
ceivcd Il severe cut above the ear. On
the same evening, tour men lsboring
under the influence Of liquor, attempted
to capture" another bnr.room on
Main street, but all Of them were
Knocked out Of time by blows from O
~six-shooter in the hands OF the bar
keeper. Such lawless proceedings,
If they do not meet with u sudden
aud violent check, will certainly bs
crushed by the strong arm Of the law
even though this is White Piue-and
the sooner such men settle down to the
prophecies of civilization, the better il
will be for all partics-eIcept, perhaps,
hemp-growars.
ArRrL ruH 0NE.--A number Of sold
iokers" were out and busy yesterday,
Frank Wheeler, Of Wheeler 4 Moody
was aroused from his sleep md startled
by the announcement that his safe had
been robbed. He rushed frAntically to
the safe, aud on opening it was horror
struck to see that several thousand dol.
lars in coin and II large quantity ofjcw-
elry had been taken. Farther search,
however, revealed the fact that the bar.
keeper had taken the safe key from
Franks pocket while he was asleep and
deposited the entire contents Of the safe
behind the bar. Alex 0'Ncil found II
large number OF customers for his OBJ
ssrvatory, at the Bank Exchange, and
hard by was n mule wearing green
s]peetscles, and munching away At a
bundle of pine shavings. Half dollars
were lying around loose in the mud, bat
they had u peculiar habit Of getting
up and getting when one went for "
them. Severa! drinks were sweetened (P)
with powdered marble, and now and
then u salt cocktail Was dealt out but
the victims took it in good part, and Mt
tributed the tricks to the day we cele-
brate.'
The CoURT ltoUsE.-Persons having
business with u newly installed county
officers will find them, for the present,
in the frame building next to Stewards
