married to either Of the women. The
story, as at first told on this side Of the

International Hotel, and the wedding
was to have taken place last Saturday,

A BLACK SHEET CAUGHT STEALING
wo1r's CLoruISa.-About 6 O'Clock
last evening \ Chinaman, who had
evidently watched his opportunity,
boldly stepped into the clothing store
Of Rslnstein s. Co.. next door to the
Gold Hill Bank Exchange, took four
nairs of pants off n pile and marched
briskly out. NJ. p. Wolf, the wide
awake resident partner OF the hrni,
was Mt the far end Of tho store, by the
stove. and had his detective eagle eye
on that wicked Celestial. He ran u
after him, and the Chinaman nnding
Wolf was on his track, lodged into the
open door Of an unoccupied store-room
a few yards below, throwing the pants
away from him as he did so. WON,
however. saw the dodge, and made him
nick up the pants and take them back

A Snowy LANDSCAPE From nus
town we have in full view to the
southwark the tall snow-clad peaks OF
tho Sierra Nevada Mountains. which
riss high above the general outlines OF
the range, glittering coldiy in the light
of the sun. Distance certainly lenuS
enchantment to the view In this IN
stance. One would not care to be
planted even for half au hour OIL II
OF these frigid peaks, upon which not
n single tree or sign OF vegetation Is
TO be seen. On all these huge peaks
the now remains until far into sum
mer, and on some of them all the year
round. though this winter the fall OF
snow has been 10 light that all Will
probably be bare before next Fall.
Dresry as look these snowy peaks,
there are still to be found among them
many little valleys and glades which
In the summe are rich In the sweetest
Of grasses, and decked with the most
beautiful flowers. With the tall pesks
standing guard around. these little
snots OF green are attractive, even 10
the most unromantic. and are favorite
nIares OF resort for the hunter n
herder OF cattle, the pasturage there
being fresh and green, when all In the
valleys below Is parched and desd.
ORSAMENrAL.-Those best acquaint-
ed with Tom Flnch's famous Senate
saloon. up town, are the most puzzled
70 decide which is the most orna-
mental, that gorgeous new lantern out
in front, or tile good-looking Dan Dii-
Ion, who engineers things behind tue
bar. Dan always smiles In response
TO the smiles Of others. 1t Is natural
for him to smile, and when he hath
artistically compounded the compli-
Gated cocktail, Daniel inviteth the
thirsty customer to come to judgment
thereof.
COUNTY HosrIrAr.-There are at
present19 patients in the Storey County
Hospital. Under the efficient superln-
tendence of DR.. Berthier, County Physi-
clan everything is kept In excellent
order and the best discipline prevails.
