Besides the promising silver indications,

been the work of but few moments to
displace the outside stones, when the
prisoners would have been at liberty.
The jailor slept under the hole night

were guards patrolling outside. The

CRUELTY AND REvENGE.-The horse of
miner named David Leahy was yester-

going to mount the animal to go out on
prospecting tour. On the impulse of

the owner drew his revolver and shot the
poor brute dead. He was promptly ar

have hearing before Justice Stouten-

JOHNNY c. CLARK, long connected with
the house of John c. Lynch, an old
Comstock expert, takes his departure
this morning on a pleasure trip to San

FROM WASHINGTON COUNTY, UrAH.-
Hoping that We will have. at an early

ant crop of fruit is hoped for, notwith-
standing the havoc of the late frosts.

prosperity.
Dun old friend, John G. Lynch, whose
place of business everybody knows is at
the corner Of Main and Lacour streets,
