MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. - We

MYsrERIoUs DISAPPEARANCE. - We
were, yesterday. put in possession Of the
facts concerning the strange disappear
ance of Layton Chiiders, well known in
this vicinity and il the eastern part Of
this State where he was prominent some
years ago among the miners. Mr.. Jas.
A. Rigby [our informsnt) and Mr.. Child
ers formed q co-partnership earl y in the
Summer and put up miscellaneous
store for the trade with Transfers, wood
choppers and mill men, shor. distance
west from the Gienbrook Hotel. The
business of the firm had proved success
full and nothing had happened to inter
fere with the general prosperity until the
disappearance of Childers who has not
been heard from since the day of his de
parture-15th July. He went below
provided with upwards of $500 in coin
and some checks the amount of which
is unknown. His mission was to pUr-
chase fresh stock of goods. Several
days after the date of his expected return
he continued absent, and NJ. Rigby be-
coming anxious dispatched to various
places where it was probable he might
have stopped, but heard nothing from him
Finally he sent his nephew Johnnie
Rigby to California to make search for
him. Young Rigby proceeded to Sacra-
ento and made thorough search for
the lost partner in that city but was
unsuccessful and gave up the hunt. In
the meanwhile friends of Childers in
San Francisco and Grass Valley had
been telegraphed to who did everything
in their power to find him, but all i'll
vain. Up to yesterday nothing further
has been heard, and lIr. Rig5y has
come to the conclusion that his partner
has either been murdered or has become
insane. Before leaving home he had
been suffering from nervous headaches
for long time, which made him very
thin and preyed upon his mind. The
stronger probability, however, is, that
he was murdered by the railroad roughs
on the G. P. Railroad, his paying
freight bill and buying ticket at
Truckee. showing that he got on board.
Mr.. Rigbv does not entertain the slight
est suspicion of dishonesty on the part
of his partner who was man of correct
habits and unsullied reputation where
ever known.

CoMBusT1BLE.-The platform of the
V. & T. R. R. depot, like all other wood
work exposed to this dry atmosphere, is
very dry and combustible. A picnicer
threw his stump cigar down on the
blanks there, yesterday, and the train
was hardly gone before the thing had
burned a hole from which a smoke was
seen rising-which attracted attention.
Some time agoa stump cast away In the
some manner, set fire to a plank which
burned over y surface of twelve inches
long and three or four wide before 1t was
observed.

Picnic EXCURsIoN-THE START.-The
Miners Union turnout arrived at the
Carson depot, yesterday, at 10 O'Clock A.
NJ, and left about a half hour afterwards
for the picnic rendezvous at Bowers
Mansion. The party came down on
long train in two sections of eleven flats
and two passenger cars each, which make
up the compliment of twenty-six cars
that were chartered. Upon the arrival
of the train there was grand rush from
the cars up Carson street, the most of
the swarming picnicers going after a
fresh supply of soda and tanzy. The
saloon west from the depot, across the
street, did lively business for the time,
drinks and money being passed across
the counter in opposite directions as fast
as strong force of mixologists could
make the exchange. After half hours
halt the whistle blew for redeparture.
The two sections which had not come
up to the depot together, were joined
into one train with q locomotive at each
end. The sight was pleasant one
surely to see those twenty-six cars loaded
with merry and gayly bedecked picnic
ers pass out gradually from the view be-
tween the black columns of smoke from
the advance and rear locomotives which
shut in the train.

CooL.-George Gibson was sitting in
front of the Sazerac, yesterday after
noon, watching the flow of picnicers on
their way up town, when one of them
quietly picked Georges hat off his knee
and never gave it back. He must have
known that the old war horse is
an invalid.

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-A case of some
importance relating to the liabilities of
life insurance companies was decided in
the United States Circuit Court for Ne
vada, recently. The suit was that of
Sarah Cooper against the Pacific Mutual
Life Insurance Company. Mrs. Cooper
applied for an insurance of five thousand
dollars upon the life of her husband,
James Cooper, and paid at the time fifty
dollars to be taken by the company as
part payment of the premium in case the
application should be accepted. Her ap-
piica ton was accepted at the home Office
in California, and policy was made out
and forwarded to the agent of the COM
pany in this State. Before the policy
was delivered to Mrs. Cooper her hus-
band, the assured, died and the company
refused to deliver the policy. The Court
held. as had already been done in our
Supreme Court when the same case was
before it on appeal, that these facts es-
tablished valid contract for policy
upon which the plaintiff could recover.
The Court, however, found, as a matter
of fact, that the question in the applica-
ton, Are your habits of life correct
and temperate?" had been, knowingly,
falsely answered Yes and that this
false statement rendered the contract of
insurance void. The insurance company
accordingly had judgment in its favor on
this question of fact.

RuNAwAT.--A pair of irreprossihle
mustangs bolted away yesterday evening
when the train began to move from the
depot, and flew across the track towards
the south when the driver brought them
mp to splurging halt. Two young Ia
dies that were on board made an easy
exit over the tail board. One of the
mustangs fell down and got caught in
harness; but when he was extricated and
all put in order again the girls had gone
off afoot.

The HoM-wA3D TEIr.-The excur-

day, stopped at the depot to give us a
scene of life and ioll;ty FOX a half hour.
The "b'hoys" were cutting capers,
sparring, harrahing, and the like, but
none were tight. There was too big
crowd for the ranch, they tell us, and too
much dust The affair WAS grand, new
ertheiess. Such a crowd never before
twined over the proverhially crooked
ana rough V. & 7. And, wonderful to
tell, there was nobody crushed or
manned in coming in. John L. CHM,
the prince of sagebrush locals, was on
board, and from him we may look for
