town gentlemen have armed themselves with
fshing-rods and gone off for weeks holiday
They are determined to make it lively for the
fnny tribe but not satisfied with this they
carried along shot-guns and other deadly weap-
ons, and we have heard ominous threatenings
against all deer and other game that might be in
cautious enough to cross their path. Their
larder was abundantly supplied, the commissary
having, as we have been informed, laid in alarge
stock of provisions, consisting of several pounds
of cheese and soda crackers, ETC., and about ten
gallons of corn-juce, which, with the fish and
game to be cOrraled, will make good cheer
among the boys. They expected to have a fine
time, and we hope they will in no wise be disap-
pointed. We bespeak quarter of venison and
a good string of trout our share of the abund-
ant supply they will bring in.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

SENT BELow.-The prisoner, John W. Reed,
convicted in the county court of breaking open
cabins and robbing them, was on Wednesday
sent to San Quentin, in charge of special Deputy
Sheriff McMurry, to serve out a term of three
years Imprisonment. The case of this man is a
peculiar one, and has excited much interest in
the community. He first appeared here about
the first day Of June, stopping at the New York
hotel and presenting in his appearance and con-
versation nothing unusual or calculated to ex-
cite suspicion either to his sanity or honesty
On the I'd of June he left, on foot, taking the
road to junction City, and at once there came
in from along his track reports of cabins being
entered and robbed of money and watches.
Some jewelry, also, was found to be missing
from the New York hotel. Suspicion being di-
rected toward him, warrant was issued for his
arrest and he was apprehended, some of the
stolen property being found upon him. lmme-
diately after being arrested, he began to talk
and act in a wild and insane manner After be-
ing confined for some time he escaped, but was
next day again found oy citizen near the place
where first arrested, and, although acting some
what strangely, conversed in a free and gener-
ally rational manner. He accompanied the gen.
teman to town apparently under the impression
that he was being brought to Lewiston, although
coming over the same road he had travelled be-
fore Arrived in town, the gentleman left him,
and went in search of an officer. Reed, when
thus left alone, does not appear to have made
any attempt to escape, and was soon after ar
rested and lodged in Jail. Since that time he
has acted consistently in idiotic manner,
one being able to induce him to talk. He was
arraigned at the July term of the County court,
and the counsel appointed to defend him having
pleaded present insanity, a jury was impanneled
and tried that ISSUE but were unable to a agree.
lie was then tried for hOusebreakng, convicted
and sentenced to three years hard labor in the
State prison. There has been a variance in pub
lie opinion regarding his state of mind, some be-
ing convinced that he is insane, but the ma jority
believing that he is assuming the appearance of
insanity to avoid the consequence of his mis-
deeds. 1t became apparent that it would be im
possible to find a jury that would agree upon the
matter, and it thought the best course to
send him at once to San Quentin, whence, if he
be found to be really insane, he can be trans
ferred to Stockton.

A Snow THAT DIDN'T COME.-ln the G ,rly part
oE the week, the town was CHILLED" for series
of exhibitions by the d" Museum of Wonders"
from Barnums, New York. The French giant
loomed up in all his magnificent proportions
upon our walls Major Green, autithess,
was presented hat in hand, standing upon "A
chair, and managing to be knee high to the
big Frenchman. The counterfeit presentment of
Miss Anna Swan, the elongated specimen o!
Nova Scotia maidenhood, smiled with over four
hundred pounds of sweetness upon the aston
ished gazer. And last, but best of all, the
snow-colored countenance of Miss Zobeide Luti,
" the lady of beauty" beamed upon all, while
each particular hair upon her head stuck straight
out and up in way that is supposed to be . the
thing in Circassia, and the engraver had deli
cately given glimpse of rounded and entcing
ankle. Verify, these were great attractions.
We all looked at those bills. The small boys
took holiday, to enable them to take in the en-
tire represented proportions of Monsieur the
giant and even the Celestals expanded their
almond eyes in gazing upon the wonders.
Small bills industriously circulated, summoned
the delving miner, the laborious wood-chopper,
and the industrious ranchman to the show.
They came, but the show didn't come. Why
was this thus We don't know, but so it was.
The "wonders" gave us the go-by completely,
them, except the picture gallery upon the walls
and certain small bills which their agent had
contracted.

contest on the I'd instant. The race on Satur-
day was closely contested, and all unite in say
ing that it was conducted in perfectly fair man
ner, The riders of both horses were changed,
Mart. Van Matre handling cold Cow" The
betting was almost entirely in favor of " Buck
skin" bets being offered and not generally taken
ahead in the four hundred yards. These antc-
pations, however, were doomed to disappoint-
giving the horses time to rest, another start was
had, and after close contest cold Cow passed
This victory caused good deal of rejoicing
among the friends and hackers of "0ld Cow. F"
Buck skin" was brought here by sharp
ones from Humboldt county, who painted his legs
and otherwise concealed the fact that he was
the great Humboldt runner until after the race
was arranged, Louis Raab and the Junction
City boys think that when the Humboldt racing
men come their way again they might well do
less painting but bring faster horse.
