Whatever MS COlultioi, ho aouos
less been captured before this writing.
Sergeant Shehan, who passed through
this city from Camp Independence to
San Francisco last night, informs u
that J. B. Roberts, the desperate boy
convict, has been removed from the
town TO the military hospital, where
he Is under the treatment of the post
surgeon. Roberts is wounded in the
left shoulder, and the left thigh a little
above the knee. The thigh wound il
somewhat dangerous. owing to the fact
that gangrene set in before medical aid
could be obtained, but the surgeon
thinks he can save the leg and have
Roberts in travelling condition within
a month. The prisoner is not held by
the military, but is temporarily sur
rendered for medical treatment-Ma-
ior Esbert agreeing to keep him safely
and return him to the civil authorities
when called for. He admits that he
ought to be hanged. but expects that
his youth will save him. The exami-
nation of Burke and Cockerell Is set
for Tuesday next, but 1t Is probable
that the examination will be postponed
on account Of the absence Of the United
States District Attorney. As the U. S.
Grand Jury will probably be called for
the I'D instant, the case Of these men
may be referred directly to that body.
STRANGE Folks IN A STRANGE
PLAcE.-A scouting party out in the
hills last night, looking for convicts,
at an early hour this morning found a
man living with a young girl In an old
tunnel or prospecting drift q half mile
or SO north of the Succor mine, between
vas apparently about forty-five years
of age, and the girl about thirteen,
They seemed to be Italians, and other
persons who had seen them and their
campfire said they had been living
there the last three or four days. A
sort of side drift Of chamber Is eXca-
waited a short distance from the mouth
Of the tunnel, and in this they lived
and slept, with two or three old coats
and q few other articles Of wardrobe
by way OF baggage and worldly effects,
being evidently very poor. The little
girl speaks fair English, aud said they
came from Reno a few days ago /; that
this man was her father, aud they staid
at this old tunnel because they could
get no other place without paying.
When asked why they did not ON
into town, she replied that they in
tended doing so to-day. They were
not disturbed, but tho party left them.
They arc probably beggars, but 1t Is a
pity the little girl could not be better
provided for. We hope she will be.
OUR MINERS SUBscRIBE.-The miners
and employees of the Crown Point mine
have unanimously agreed to give one
days wages each for the benefit Of the
Chicago sufferers. This will amount
to nearly $1,000, and if all the other
mines will follow suit a very consider
able and acceptable sum will be the
result. Our hard-toiling miners have
set an example most p~raiSeworthy, and
| which others more able may follow
with much credit to themselves, and
greatly benefit the unfortunate suffer-
ers. All honor to the generous Crown
Point miners.
