ALLEGED PILTERING.- man named
Wadsett was arrested, night before last,
on complaint of a saloon proprietor, on
the charge of having stolen two pairs of
blankets. Wadgett, it seems. had been
attending sick man who formerly was
employed as bartender by the saloon

present of or remunerated him for his
services with the blankets But the
blankets were in the hands of the saloon
keeper, who had bar account against

SHOOTING ScRAPE LAST NIGHT.-About
~ O'Clock last night two men, named re-
spectlvely Mitchell and Hinzman, had a
dispute, when one OF them fired re-
volver at the other, the ball missing the
man hred at, but coming so near a dis
interested party as to pass through u
newspaper he was reading. The parties
had not been arrested at the time we re-
ceived our information, but presume, of
course, they were subsequently taken
into custody.
IHE Mormons of Panaca Valley saved
us IRON general business stagnation dur
ing the prevalence of the epizootic, for
which, in behalf of the community, they
are hereby heartily thanked. Had it not
osen for their assistance, in the hauling
OF ore to the mills, business would have
peen almost totally suspended. The
raymond Il Ely Company, alone, pro-
cured OF them the services of from GO to
70 teams-horses, mules and oxen.
The WET CRUsHEn AT woRK.-The
new 3O-stamp Raymond & Ely mill at
Dnilionville is now crushing by the wet
process. 1t was started up to work
W the new process last Wednesday
evening, and, We understand, works adj
mlrably and satisfactorily to the owners
ano all concerned. 1t is now generally
agreed that the wet process has great adj
mntages over the dry in reducing our
LOOK TO THE HYDRANrs.- atten-
non OF the County Commissioners, or
me Water Company, is directed to the
!act that the hydrants are SO completely
covered with ice and snow that, in case
9l conflagration, half the city might be
destroyed before the plugs could be re-
moved. The hydrants should not, for
single moment, be in a condition to pre-
vent an instantaneous flow Of water.
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE BuLL1oNv1LLE
RAILROAD FouNDRY.-We omitted in our
report Of the starting of the Bullionville
~ railroad Foundry to give the name OF
me superintendent. That responsible
position is filled by Ney Churchman, a
sentleman of large experience in the
casting business. -lal.
