the most sedate and sensible dogs In
the world. He knew more than some
members of the Nevada Legislature,
and he certainly was more incorrupti-
BILE. When Mulcahy was Sheriff Of
this county, old Butt felt the dignity
OF the office fully as much or more
than his his master, and he kept as
good an eye on the prisoners in the
County Jail and things generally about
the office, as though lie had been Under
Sheriff or Deputy. And old Butt was
the hero of many a well-fought battle,
always coming out chief. He never
would fight a small dog, he was too
heightened for that, but always went
after any obnoxious dog OF his size or
even bigger, Butt wasn't particular.
Yet he wasn't a quarrelsome dog. He
didn't go about spelling for muss, like
some bulldogs, but he would stand no
nonsense from any of them. II any
disagreeable dog crowded him or acted
IA though he wanted anything, Butt
was the very dog who could give it to
him. Old Butt was a resident Of Vir-
cinia for nine years, and was brough:
over from Nevada City by his master,
when he was u yearling pup. He ran
with the Fire Department, and was
quite o~filcious in various capacities, be-
ing a good citizen, with q kindly re-
gard for children and ladies, never
| biting anybody, yet letting everybody
know that they must do right and not
fool with anything he was guarding or
looking out for. Last Of all, he was
at Major Ferrend's livery stable, on G
| street, where his master was superin-
tendent, having old Butt for second
boss. When the great fire occurred on
the 10Th Of last month, the stable was
included among the buildings destroy
ed. Old Butt vas running about In a
considerable state of excitement, and
some friend, fearing that he might run
into the burning stable and be de-
stroyed, put a rope about his neck and
tied him carefully in the entry Of Dias
s Glauber's building, at the foot Of
the stairs, next to Kelly s. Lowen-
STEMS store. The building being fire.
proof. this friend doubtless thought
old Butt would be safe, but alas, the
iron doors became red-hot and the
wood work inside all around the UNI
fortunate dog was burned. and next
day he was found dead, with his nose
| close to the iron doors. Poor old Butt.
His disconsolate master never wants
to own another dog.
MORE BURGLARIEs.-In addition to
tho burglary item published elsewhere,
we learn that the house Of Thomas
Keely, and that of Jerry Harrington,
both on the Bowers grade, were visited
by the burglarious experts, in search
Of coin. They got 81 from keely and
81 from Harrington. Small amounts
| seem quite worthy of their steal, al
though larger ones would doubtless be
more acceptable. 1t is useless to say
that the Gold Hill police force ought
to protect the town against these sly
experts. Our police force simply con-
sists of Abe Jones. The Town Mar
shall and Deputy Constable do we'll
enough in the day time, and do all
they can ut all times, but we don't
believe there is 4 town of Its size on
the Pacific Coast with such a limited
police force Is Gold Hill.
The EscArED CoNvIcTs.-The Car
son Register Of this morning says: ain
order to put our local officers on their
guard, so that they may avoid a con-
fict with the escaped convicts, we may
be allowed to hint that Pat. Hurley
and Tim. Mcnamara (aad probably
Chris. Blair and William Forestl are
In Virginia; Marion Prnitt (colored)
Is at or near Copperopolis, CAL; Tom
Heffron, at Georgetown. same State
and Watson. Ryan and Baker Will
touch at Hike or Las Vegas. j.. Y.
Watson, Thos. Ryan and Daniel Boone
Baker, three OF the escaped convicts,
went together, and struck out in an
easterly direction, probably intending
to pass east q little south Of Belmont.
BuRaLARY.-Some time during last
night a burglar O. burglars visited the
Golden Eagle Hotel, lower Gold Hill,
and realized about $40 in coin from
the boarders, visiting each room, sys-
tematically. The pantaloons pockets
of only three of the boarders, how.
ever, panned out properly, one about
50, another $l7, and the other about
$2S. The proper officers are very de-
sirous of finding out the rascal, and
will make it mighty hot for him If they
do. Our citizens cannot betoo careful
or too much on their guard when bur-
glars are about. A dose or two OF
cold lead would do the rascals a deal
Of good.
OPEN FOR CoNvIcrIoS.-Ladies OF
Gold Hill, just read what B. Galland
says to you In his newly issued mani
| festo to-day, published in our adver-
| Using columns. Galland's store, just
| above Flagg's Bank, Main street, is
| full of the choicest and latest varieties
of ladies' dress goods, trimmings, etc.,
| and no one need 20 to Virginia for n
better assortment at cheaper prices.
| Galland will not be undersold. All
he asks Is for the ladies to come and
Judge for themselves.

of this lottery takes place without fail
on the 18th, next Wednesday, all the
agents have to send in their returns on
| Monday, and no tickets will be for sale
after that day. j. r. Myers, agent for
Virginia and Gold Hill, desires us to
state that he will close ont what few
remaining tickets he has left by Mon
day evening, supplying all who desire
to embrace the golden opportunity up
to that time. Secure at least n
chance at tho big prize.
ASHLAND BorRBoN.-Tom Erwin,
the "~handsome blonde" barkeep at
Gibson's saloon, Gold Hill, this morn
ing sent to the senior Of the News a
glass casket of Ashland Bourbon,
Which Tom Wand, the wholesale wine
and LIQUOR dealer Of San Francisco,
saws is superior to any other Bourbon
aver before sent from Kentucky. We
have sampled the article, and a rec
ommend It as splendid. A cask Of 1t
has lust been opened at Gibson's, and
connoisseurs a see for themselves.
