CARSON IrEMs.-We extract the fol-
lowing from the Register ofthis morn
ing: A rumor was current land gem
orally believed) yesterday, that q prl-
yate dispatch from San Francisco had
been received, stating that Springer, a
brother to the man killed by Bob Ded-
man, had followed the latter to San
Francisco and shot him dead. Dedman
left here, q week or two after he was
pardoned out Of the State Prison, to
visit a sister at Knights Landing. In
Yolo county, California. Springer, We
believe, lives In that county, and Is re-
ported to have taken an oath to XIII
Dedman. This doubtless gave rise to
the rumor, as we learn by telegraph
from Virginia that no such Information
had been received there, and that the
rumor originated in that clty....A
man named Jacob Gugger Is now In
our County Jail awaiting trial on q
charge of setting fire to and destroying
a quantity of wood In Pine Nut. BY
the fire on the mountain, which we
noticed Yesterday, N. D. Chamberlin
of this city lost about 500 cords Of dry
wood, Z. D. Sweeney Of this city lost
about $50 cords, and other parties $50
cords. Total loss, about $4,000. The
fire is believed to have been the work
of an incendiary.

Ger" and tossed MIN up to the roof.
With a badly lac .tated hide and eyes
dilsted to the size Of papaws, Prime

worst demora'ized and most aston

with the stride of a rheumatic old gem

about approaching too near to strange
