Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-02-21

Ne"oiui' II was as nne DIT OF character
acting as we have ever seen. Mrs. Bates
Played Folly with her usual excellence.
tonight, the great play of Leah, the
Forsaken, will be performed, Mrs.
Bates in the title role. We may safely
predict crowded house, many seats
being secured yesterday for the perform
ance. Tomorrow there will be a matinee;
one dollar and half price for families.
Altogether, the theater is a great sue
cess, both artistically and pecuniarily,
and Manager Mcguire made no mistake
In forming his company.
LOST Hrs EYE-sIGHT ENTIRELY.-Geo.
Mexican, the unfortunate man who was
SO badly injured by a blast in the Peacock
mine, some weeks ago, has lost his eye
sight entirely. 1t was thought for a
while that he would have partial sight
from one eye, but we now have it from
good authority that he is totally and
hopelessly blind. What sad visitation!
Mr.. Mexican is a young man of not over
70 years, has enjoyed universal respect
among those who knew him for his in
dustry, gentlemanly behavior and moral
worth, and his misfortune is deeply de-
plored.
CAUGHT ON THE WING.-An individual,
whose name we have been unable to
obtain, was taken from the last Salt Lake
coach, just beyond the boundary, Oh a
charge of forgery; but the warrant was
not formally served until he was brought
back into Nevada, the officer supposing
this would legalize the arrest. We will
try and get further particulars to-mor-
row.
CATS are not numerous in Phoebe, but
what there are make the most of their
vocal powers. A friend says he is softly
lulled to rest every night by their cater
wauling. intermingled with the inhuman
screenings of Chinese fiddle. He is
| furious; he has a savage heart that
couldn't be soothed by all the poetic fan.
c.es Shakespeare ever thought of.
A WATER-HAUL.-An opening large
enough to admit q man was cut in a
firmly closed canvas tent at the Vulture
mine, q day or two ago-with the object
undoubtedly of larceny AS the contents
had been removed, the enterprising thief
probably went down the hill feeling as
cheap as the historic warrior King of
France of ballad notoriety.
FRUIT TREES FROM UTAH. A Mr..
Bowen arrived, yesterday, with load of
apple and peach trees, to fill orders in
Phoebe. We are told they will be set
out in town, and hope the information is
correct; but think it will prove rather
expensive irrigating to pay three and
half cents n gallon for water.
A BOLD RoBRERY.-T safe of the
Meadow Valley Mining Company was
feloniously unlocked, night before last,
by some one who managed to get hold of
the combination, and checks distracted
to the amount of over $500. The checks
were cashed, and the perpetrators where
abouts are unknown.
JOSEPH c. WATSON, if you see or hear
of this item, write letter to the teller of
the Pacific Bank of San Francisco in re-

you was with, on the way from here to
Arizona, when he died. The teller of
that institution is brother of deceased.

Valley Township, yesterday appeared at

fore known SO deep at the latter place.
