From the Union OF yesterday
l.. NJ. Lincoln. Justice of the Peace
of Suffer Township, informs u; that a
named /. B. Libby has dlsaT-
peared from the vicinity Of Su~tterviiir,
and Is believed to have drowned HIM
self. Libby has been at work In tnat
neiyhborhood for several months, with
C, Brockway, r. Edwards, Lincoln
and others. He has recently acted
yery strangely, and was evidently In
sane on tho subject of religion. On
Tuesday last he said to Mis-: Edward;
that a crowd of men intended to XII
him that night /; that they would Kill
him, as they Killed Christ, on account
of his religion. He said lie had no SET
creed, but believed in what Christ
taught in the Bible and In helping the
moor. The next morning after the
conversation with Mrs. Edwards, he
said to her, with q smile, that he was
mistaken about the time. On Thurs
day morning 1t was found that Libby
had disappeared, but no special alarm
was at first entertained regarding him.
In the evening, between five and six
o'clock. some boys. when going to
battle, found all of Llbby's clothes
piled up together oil the bank OF the
Sacramento river, half a mile below
Sutteryille. In tho pockets OF the
clothing were found u pocket-knlte,
handkerchief, a bottle from Bowman's
drug store marked "Sugar OF lead
poison" and n few other articles. The
missing man served In the army and
reserved his discharge in Nevada. lilo
was a native Of Franklin county,
Maine, and was about thirty.tive years
Of age. He was n man OF temperate
aud Industrious habits, and was highly
esteemed by those who knew him.
The following note was found written
In the fly-leaf of his Bible after his
clothing was found 10 the men

From B. Straight, who arrived In town
yesterday afternoon, says the W hitePine
wees Of August Goth, we learned the
following In regard to a shooting al
fair at Duckwater: It seems that
James Mcmahon called at n ranch
owned by C. E. Sampson, on Tuesday
morning, and notified SIMPSONS men,
who were engaged in moving hay, to
quit, that the ranch was his property,
and he would do the cutting
of tho grass; and told them he
would return In the afternoon. Nc
Mahon returned as stated. and inquir-
ed of the men at work for Sampson,
when they told Mcmahon that Samp-
son was on the lower part Of the ranch
ballng up hay. McMahon, accom-
panied BY two Of the men (who re.
manned halfway, started toward
Simp.on when some words took place
In regard to the ranch. The latter,
who had q shotgun, then drew It and
discharged two loads at McMahon-
one shot taking effect In the left side
and the other In the head and neck,
causing almost instant death. When
Mr.. Straight arrived at the scene, Nc
Mahon was lying on his face, his right

charged, which is supposed to have
been fired ut Sampson. A Coroner's

THE SALT LAKE OUTRAGE.

Tho Mormon newspapers at Salt
Lake justify the summary proceedings
of the police Of that city in destroying
the furniture Of two houses Of ill-fame
last Thursday, stating chat 1t was done
under the law expressed in section 5,
Of An ordinance relating to spiritu-
Gus and fermented liquors, and to
nuisances, which reads rs follows:
SEC. .. Any house or place resorted
to for Illicit sexual intercourse shall be
deemed q house or place of ill-fame,
aud Is hereby declared a nuisance and
may be abated.
The Salt Lake Miaing Journal Of
Thursday evening gives a full account
of the affair, from which we condense
the following:
While some Of the police guarded
the doors, others rushed Into the differ
ent rooms and made sad havoc Of all
within. The girls were told to save
their personal effects, but ere they had
time to obey the command, many Of
their clothes were mixed up in the in
distinguishable wreck. Broken frag-
ments of mirrors, picture frames, bu-
reaus, chairs, b%edsteads, aud indeed
all the elegant fixtures and decorations
lay IN heap, Of rubbish. Even the
mattresses and bed clothes were cut
and rent, and the superb patterns OF
Brussels carpet were mutilated so as
to be unit for further use. Silk dresses
were torn and albums mutilated. The
e~ntreaties Of one woman would not
prevail Oh them to spare the picture Of
her own child. They threatened to
gut Gen. Maxwell's house in five min
utes, when lie replied that two min
notice was all he wanted, aud
their dangling corpses would orna-
ment several telegraph poles. The ex-
element runs high, aud the Lion
House harem keeper IL not spoken Of

FIRE AT WApswoRrH. - Thursday
morning about 3 o'clock, says the
Reno Journal of Saturday, the house of
Mr.. Velsir, In Wadsworth. vas set oil
fire By some miserable scoundrel, and
In less than fifteen minutes WAS a total
loss. MI. Yelsir had just bought the
property and paid for it within the
last week, but luckily he had not NOV
ed any furniture Into 1t, or else that
would have been lost. Mr.. Bateman
had but lately moved out OF the house
and left considerable of Government
property there which was to be rcmov-
ed to the Pyramid Lake Reservation.
The team arrived for that purpose but
was one day too late. The inceiidia-
rles' torch, though with no intent to
destroy that part'of the property, had
done the mischief.
