Deputy Sheriff Gracey then read from
the statutes the Riot Act Of the United
States. Three cheers for the United
States were given in reply 1--WE certainly
hope not in derisiou). The miners then
marched on. Everywhere ut their APP
proach the Chinese all left their work,
ran to their camps, gathered up their
baggage and precipitately left, many OF
them taking to the hills. The miners
had it all their own way. We followed
them as far as the "Stone House," on
American Flat, and left them still
marching on.
BAss BALL CHALLEyGE-THE RED
JACKETS" OF GOLD HILL TAKE The
FIELD Nine Of the smsrtest Juvenile
men Of Gold Hill, some seven or twelve
years Of age, have formed themselves
into a Base Ball Club, under the name
and style Of the /" Red Jackets" in N
bilious imitation Of the famous =" Red
Stockings" Of Cincinnati. They are
already quite proficient at the game aud
consequently feel their oats somewhat,
as may be seen by the following chal-
lenge:
GOLD HILL, September %, 1859.
To the Secretary Of the Virginia Base Ball
Clnb-Sir: Having read, with the most pain
full feelings, the defeat Of your club BY the
Silver Star Club, Of Carson, we feel that It is
our bounden duty TO reclaim the honor and
dignity Of the metropolis Of our silver State.
and TO win back the laurcls so easily attained
by our Carson friends. We have but 81 80
in the treasury, and therefore, il will be i'm
possible for US to entertain the Carsonitcs in
proper style, otherwise we would immedi-
ntely send a challenge to the ~victors; but
we first propose to vanquish you, which we
do not doubt can be easily accomplished,
create an excitement, get funds in the treas
ury, and then defeat your victors. You will,
therefore, communicate to your Club that the
Red Jackets Of Gold Hill will play a match
of base ball with the Virginia Club, at any
time within thirty days, at any place.
By order Of the Club.
Mos. respectfully,
CHAs. CoNwALL, Secretary r. J.
The FAKrR OF YIsHNU.-This great

large and we'll pleased audience last
evening, on tho occasion Of his second

The sleight of hand portion OF the per-

An OLD RELic.-John Booth, long
known as q member Of the printing fra
ternity on this coast, and o one Of
the typos Of the News Office, showed US
yesterday a copy of the Political Exam-
iaer, dated June 2, 1910, a weekly news
paper published at Georgetown, Brown
County, Ohio. Booth at that time was
not long out Of his apprenticeship, and
was one of the proprietors Of this paper.
The father of President Grant was also
resident Of the town, and jailor /; he
also kept a lanyard. This old news
paper, although printed so many years
ago,e compares we'll in its general make
up and typographical execution with
those of the present day, and its adver-
Using patronage was evidently good.
It was also we'll edited by p. W. Sellers,
partner with Booth, who attended to the
printing department. The political tone
Of the paper was intensely Wing, being
an ardent supporter Of General w. ID.
Harrison for the Presidency. One very
noticeable feature, however, in this old
relic is the total absence OF any local
items; no good burglaries, rapes, sa-
loon rows, shooting ARRAYS, choice muir
ders, suicides, or even q good lively
dog fight. 1t must have been a very
tame locality about that time, n no
place for an ambitious Washoe local
reporter.
