Disturbing THE PEACE. = Yesterday
evening William Appleby came up be-
fore Justice Van Hagen on a charge OF
disturbing the peace. 1t appears that
some days ago, on account OF the great
tardiness of many of the pupils in our
nnblic school, the Superintendent gave
orders that the doors of the school
bouses be locked five minutes after the
orpointed time for beginning school,
and that all pupils not there before the
Listing of the doors be marked as absent.
Tn obedience to this order, the doors
we're closed at the proper time one day
last week, and it happened that among
several others who were closed out, was
n son of William Appleby. The father
of this misused youth came to the school
bouse about noon and used language
which is not generally considered polite
In fact he was very abusive. In the eve.
ming after the school had been dismissed
he came again and broke open the door
and entered the school-house and took
from there the teachers desk, poured
ink over the copy-books and played smash
generally. 1t is supposed that Appleby
thinks himself entitled to regulate the
affairs of our public schools. Others,
however. may not be Of the same opin-
ion. The jury impaneled in the case
failed to agree, there being one for con-
yiction and II for acquittal.
MORE IRREGULARITIES often
complaints are made that there are
many and gross Irregularities in the man
apemept of the mails between this place
and Salt Lake. The last, and perhaps
the most conspicuous of these, occurred
lately. On Monday the mailbag for
Beaver, in Utah, was sent as usual from
this place. Last night it came back.
having been returned from Beaver with
ont even having been opened. 1t has
been customary among the Mormon mail
officials to cast the blame of the irregu-
larities that occurred upon the stage COM
.pany. The company certainly could
not be guilty of this negligence. One
thing is certain--the mails along the
route between Phoebe and Salt Lake are
miserably conducted. II the fault of
negligence is in the stage company, they
can and ought to be obliged to comply
with the terms of their contract II, on
the other hand, the Postmasters are at
fault, each and every one of them should
and must be discharged, and the good
work ought to begin with the man at
Beaver.
somewhat familiar with the exploits Of
one Captain j. B. Stone, "late of the
Confederate Army" in swindling man
by the name of Leonidas Bales out of a
wagon and two horses, with their har-
ness. Enough is already known of
Stones career to stamp him as a villain
of the deepest dye. We yesterday met
Mr.. Bales, the victim of Stones dishon-
rsty. Mr.. b. is now living at Bullion
vile. The difficulty into which he waa
draw by this fellow Stone has well nigh
ruined him financially. He had, before
meeting Stone, u good outfit and nearly
$3.50 in money, but his pursuit of the
rascal has left him without means and
only the remnant Of the wagon and
team and very little provisions. Mr.. b.
il married man, is California pio-
neer, and one deserving Of better fate
than that of encountering such fellows
as Stone.
The PIocHE AND BULLIoNyILLE RAIL
RoAD-Mr. Nesbitt, during his superin
tendency of the railroad leading from the
mines of this district to the mills at Bull
lionviIle, has shown that his experience
in such matters has made him a thorough
railroad man. Under his direction the
road has been very materially shortened
and put in complete running order. Tn,
engine now in use-the Henry G. Cha
pins of l6 tons capacity, and drives
the train down and back twice every day
carrying a nice passenger car. Mr.. Mes
btt has received dispatch from Toano
saying that the new engine go tons) TO
the railroad will be shipped on the 10th
and after its arrival regular trips will b.
made, carrying freight and passengers OIL
schedule time. We understand that tn
fire companies of Phoebe contemplat
taking an excursion over this road as sool
as the new engine arrives.
