ON A WAR

Judging from the following, which
we clip from the Carson Register Of
this morning, u indomitable legis-
lators are placing themselves upon a
war footing in the provision line, now
that they have locked horns with the
cruel Governor, who shut Off their
roast beef supply. Hereafter all the
mules and horses killed in quartz haul
ing about Gold Hill or Virginia shall
be sent to their relief. Jake White,
the well-known bus driver, has 4 dead
horse which he forwards to them to-
morrow. They will not be the first
individuals In the world who have had
to "work of a dead horse" Here's
what the Register says:
The defeat of Senate bill No. Z, San
Act to create Legislative Funds" has
caused quite q connection in this COM
munity for the past few days, and seri-
Gus apprehensions have been felt that
the more ~impecunious members of the
two Houses might have to go hun
cry." In this emergency the generous
people of Virginia City, as we'll rs our
Chinese residents, have come to the
rescue nobly, and there Is now no dan
ger Of starvation overtakingthe ''assem-
bled wisdom Of the State" Our MOON
eyed residents of Empire City have
taken steps, as we shall presently
show, to prepare some Of their most
delicate dishes for the consideration OF
the Legislature.
Between l and . o'clock in the after
noon of Thursday, Henry Satter's yell
low Newfoundland female pup, weigh
ing about forty pounds, was stolen
from the meat market Of Beer Bros, ut
Empire. 1t was suspected that n gang
OF Cinnamon engaged In loading cars
had purloined the pup, and search was
made in that direction. Investigation
showed that a Celestial butcher had
stolen the pup and sold it to the gang.
Tho latter had killed, scalded and
cleaned the ~infantile canine, much
after the manner of preparing aporker
for home consumption. :,
In the evening Dave Richey and
Satter repaired to the Chinese quarters
and INQUIRED after the dog. or the
fifteen or twenty Cinnamon present,
every single one had just come from
Carson on the 1 o'clock train" This
looked suspicious, and the whites instl-
tuted search. The first roll Of blankets
oyerhauled contained the head II Ell
trails Of the missing pup; the second
roll, the hind quarters; the third, the
liver. etc, and q fourth roll, the bal
nnce Of the dog. The revelations being
made, the Cinnamon became alarmed
and pointed out the thief, who imine-
diately took to his heels; the mild per-
suasion of a six-shooter induced him
TO return, however, when he explained
that. Notwithstanding the fact that he
wanted the pup for charitable pur-
noses, II he were allowed to so free he
would pay $25 for the deceased canine.
He was allowed to SO on his
recogniZance.
Yesterday afternoon 1t wal reported
that the dog was to DO cooked for 4
grand Legislative dinner, to enable the
members to hold out to the m OF the
session, notwithstanding the defeat OF
the Legislative Fund bill.
As bearing upon this subject OF out
siders sympathizing with the Legis-
lature In Its extremity, we may men-
tion that Captain Patchen, OF White
Pine, Yesterday found upon his desk q
cigar box filled with slices OF bacon.
crackers, cheese and 4 raw onion, and

Dear Sir: Herewith please accept the
wherewith upon which to subsist, mot
w%ithstanding the objections Of the
Governor Eat hearty, and hold out
faithful to the end. Stand firm, and
don't adjourn-more lunch coming"
