TuE PINE GROVE STAGE RoRnER,

Ahc iNE uhoNE CTA6ts TNUbbEhf.
We learn through kilograms and
from private sources that Wells, Fargo
Il Co. have recovered the 5000 in
coin taken from their stage near Pine
Grove a short time since. As we have
the story, and it is probably correct,
the driver Of the stage was the man
who "went through" the treasure box.
IL seems that two or three days after
the reported robbery Of the stage by
three men with gunny-sacks over their
heads, with eye-6oles in the same, etc.,
the driver Of the stage, whose name we
have been unable to learn, went to a
livery stable in Pine Grove and hired
4 horse. He got the horse in the even
ing and rode away. The horse had on
but three shoes and after he was
gone it seems that the men ut the stable
began thinking over the matter of the
stage robbery, and concluded It would
be no bad thing to follow his tracks the
next morning. As the horse had on
hut three shoes, his tracks were easily
followed, and finally led those on the
hunt to the spot where the $1,000 vas

then came into town and had the driver
of the stage arrested, when he made a
clean breast of the whole affair. He
said that he took the money ont of the
box and buried it, burned the box, and
then reported that he had been stopped
and robbed by three highwaymen. He
had everything his own way and snug
enough had he not taken q notion to
20 out and see how his deposit was
getting along. That and the old horse
with three shoes beat him. The pre-
sumption is. that he went out to see If
his ''plant" had sprouted. The par
ties who tracked the fellow and effected
his arrest will get a reward Of $1,000
81, 500 for the recovery of the $1,000
stolen. and $500 for the arrest and OIL
viction of the robber. Our account Of
the affair may prove incorrect in some
particulars, but it Is the story Of the
affair as we have received it from the
most reliable sources.-ERterprise.

TREES AND GoNrs.-Some Of the citi-
zens Of Gold Hill are adjoining their
residences with shade and fruit trees,
grape vines, etc, showing their good
taste, rs well as real comfort and profit
that will be obtained therefrom.
Those who have heretofore expert
mented in the planting of locust and
cottonwood shade trees, have found
them TO grow very rapidly and serve
to protect their domicils from the
summers scorching sun. Mayor Glib
son recently purchased and planted 4
number Of fruit trees in front Of his
dwelling. which he intended to answer
a double purpose-bearing fruit and
shading the house. Several persons in
the neighborhood are the owners of
n number of goats, and allow them to
run at large. Although Mr.. Gibson
has q picket fence around his dwelling.
these ~intolerable nuiSances bounded
over and during the night removed
every vestige of bark from the trees.
The thriving and promising trees
around Fort Homestead, and many
Others, have shared the same fate. We
would suggest TO the Town Trustees to
ut once draft and pass an ordinance
forbidding these pests to run at large,
attaching a heavy fine for the violation
of its provisions, seeking redress from
the pockets Of the owners of these
nuisances. Shade and fruit trees are
OF far more value than worthless goats.
New VorEFp.-The colored citizens
of Nevada are on the v of enfran-
chisement. Doubtless the fact Of the
formal adoption of the Fffeenth
Amendment by three-f0urths Of the
States of this republic will be promul-
gated BY the Executive within a very
few days. We urge the colored citi-
Zens of this State to prepare them
selves for the exercise of their new
privilege. Wherever there are several
colored men living there should be an
organized society or club, having for
itS object the enlightenment of n
another in the laws pertaining to the
elective franchise. BY the terms OF q
law which was passed at the last Leg
islature the disfranchisement Of rebels
