ne FuGtTIyE MURDEREr


The FUerrIvs MURDEREE. = The
Carson Appeal of yesterday says: The
fugitive Pierce made his way over the
summit Of the Sierra by the Kingsbury
Grade. He appeared at Fridays Sta
ton and at several other stopping
places In Lake Valley. At n place
he was driven of by two women who
suspected the character OF his meander-
ings from his anxious face and gem
orally disordered personal appearance
brought on by days of irregular diet
and lodging about in exposure to the
weather. At another station I'VE re-
frain from giving the name OF the
keeper, rs he has been summoned be-
fore the Grand Jury, now in session at
Genoa, to investigate the circumstances
OF Pierce's escape the fugitive bought
n horse and saddle for $40. The man
who sold him the mustang, when queS-
toned, ut first denied having seen
Pierce ; but when pressed, acknowl-
edged the sale, urging As an excuse
that he did not know Pierce was an
escaped prisoner,and had made a trade
with him rs he would have done under
the same circumstances with any other
passing traveller.

CHINESE ARTISTIC SKILL. Some
months ago. says the Carson Appeal, a
Chinaman in the employ Of Mr.. II. NJ.
Ysrington, made n return trip to his
native land, taking with him some
Photographic likenesses OF that gentle
man and wife. aud a little while since,
upon his coming away from the Celes-
tlal Empire, he brought with him two
lIfe-.ized heads, copied in oil from
these photographs by a Chinese youth
In Hong Kong ; and these oil paint
inss. now In Mrs. Yerington's posses
sion. are remarkable. and indisputable
evidences not only of the Initiative tai
ents OF Cinnamon In general. u n
sure proof OF the possession OF an ar
tistic skill In drawing aud painting by
the young pagan whose handiwork
these pictures are.

fore last considerable rain fell, and
last night considerable more. 1t

storm Of the season is a most excellent
and acceptable one thus far, and al
though it partially cleared up to-day,

under good Roadway when discovered.
The inmates had barely time to escape
from their beds, grasping what little
clothing and valuables they could:
The estimated loss is about $4,000, and
Ali the more serious, occurring 1t this
critical season Of the year, just rs the
storms of Winter are setting In. The
