Quanfrell.

Our people are not aware, generally,
that they have had in their midst the no.
torious bushwhacker and assassin, the
leader of the Lawrence massacre, Quantrell
This massacre has no parallel in civilized
or savage warfare, for hellish atrocity.
Eight thousand dollars have been offered
by the Government for QuantrelPs arrest.
Detectives have been on his track for
long time. They followed him through
Texas, Mexico, Arizona and to San Fran
cisco. A few weeks ago they had positive
information of his presence in San Fran
cisco, but were unable to find him. In
order to elude his pursuers he enlisted in
the US. service, and Joined the company
which was sent out to Camp Scott, in this
county. The military authorities learned
this fact in some way. Last week an order
was sent to Camp Scott for his arrest, but
the day before the oder came, .Quantrell
and three others deserted, taking with
them the best outfits in camp. They were
at Carlin last Monday night. From that
place no trace has been had of them, in
tact no attempts has been made to follow
them further. The Sergeant, who was
sent out in pursuit, was arrested himself at
Carlin, for desertion, and brought back.
1t is to be hoped that Quantrell will be
arrested, and caused to suffer the seyerest
penalty known to the law for this horrible
crime About one hundred and fifty de-
ienseless and helpless citizens of Lawrence,
Kansas, were murdered in cold blood, their
houses sacked and burnt, and with them
some eighty of his victims were also burnt
and so mutilated that their bodies could
not be recognized by their friends. The
loathsome and miserable carcass of This
wretch would chill the stygian waves of
damnation.-[ Winnemucca Register.

COUNTY ScRIP.-At the meeting of
the Supervisors last week there was funds
sufficient in the Redemption fund to redeem
all the warrants offered at 10 and re on
the the dollar 1t is estimated by some
who ought to know that the Redemption
fund at the Feb. term will about absorb
all the floating scrip out, and that after
that date scrip will bring better price in
the Redemption fund. There is no good
reason why non-interest bearing scrip
should not bring so or S5c on the dollar

Funeral Of a. II, Ladd.

The announcement of the death of A.
= Ladd, Assessor of this county, on the
morning of the 5th instant, was received
with surprise and profound regret by a large
circle of friends and acquaintances. Dur
ing Friday afternoon and until two o'clock
on the following day the body lay in state
IN the office occupied by the deceased in
the Court House where it was visited by a
large number Of friends who came to pay
the last tribute of respect to the dead
At o'clock the body was placed in the
hearse and escorted to the Church by a
procession of Odd Fellows, headed bv the
Shasta band, and followed by large con-
course of citizens. Here the funeral GER
emony OF the Odd Fellows order was read
after which the procession reformed and
escorted the remains back to the Court

ed to Chicago in compliance with the re-
quest Of the brother of the deceased.
Mr. Ladd located in Shasta county at
an early day, and in September last the
people elected him to the responsible Office
OF Assessor for the fourth term, which fully
illustrates his popularity and shows the
strong hold he had gained in the esteem
and confidence of those who knew him best.
We all sadly miss his hearty salutation,
the warm grasp of his hand; but he is
gone, and regrets and prayers cannot restore
his presence. Yesterday, as it were, he
was with us; to-day the river of Death rolls
darkly between us. But he has only gone
before, and while our eyes are yet blinded
by earthly shadows, let US hope that he
has beheld the matchless glories and untold
splendors of the High Kings court.
