STRANGE PHoCEED1NG.-In the Justices
Court, the case of the State VS.. Kelly
was dismissed, at the request of the pros
ecuting witness, the defendant agreeing
to pay the costs-all but the SIS fee
claimed by the District Attorney, who
had not appeared. Attachment issued
for the amount; but the party served
with notice, though acknowledging him
self indebted to the defendant, refused to
pay the bill, on the ground that it was
illegal. Then an order of contempt was
entered against him, and he was about
to be committed thereon, when IN at
torney appeared in his behalf, and the
whole matter was dropped These state
ments We have received from a response
Bile source, and publish them by request.
Ii they are true, We do right in giving
them to the public; if untrue, this col,
umn is open for responsible contradic-
ton.
DEXTER. This is the name given a
new lode discovered during tn, week
near the Excelsior 1t promises to be a
vein of great importance. breadth of
ore is now shown between three and n
halt and four feet, which assays from
S2lO to $3.50 to the ton. 1t was struck
63 feet b.low the surface. The discov-
crers will not incorporate, but are de-
termlned to hold their interests in feet
and proceed with development. Our old
friend Cirque " Barnes is interested in
this new discovery, and Thomas Daily,
who also has an interest, has been elect
ed superintendent.
HARD UsHED.-The most contemnti-
BILE case of robbing on record occurred
day or two ago, it is alleged, about five
miles west of here, on the road TO Fair
view Springs. An old Shoshone Indian,
accompanied by his squaw, was stopped
by white-skinned creature in the form
OF a man and forced to give up his coin,
amounting to just six bits. That fellow
ought to be compelled to make his living
chasing jack-rabbits barefooted over the
SHOWS of winter and the briars of sum-
mer, with rattlesnakes and skunks the
only companions of his sleeping hours.
The BATES FAMILY will certainly ap-
pear at the theatre next Monday night,
as announced in an advertisement in an
other column. This is an opportunity
for our people to show their appreciation
of the legitimate drama which we are
confident they will improve. Encour-
age these distinguished visitors with a
generous patronage, and we will have
genuine merit offered us in the future
Give them full houses from the first night
of their sojourn to the last.
A NEGRO named Williams, formerly of
this place, was arrested as vagrant in
Salt Lake City the other day, and sent to
prison for Is days. The Journal says
the only evidence against him was that
he had lighted his pipe on the sidewalk
after dark. A little Mormon municipal
law down this way, vigorously executed,
if that is its character, would soon neces-
state the establishment of a prison cor
raj of several acres.
Our FUTURE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
The Carson New Appeal says that the
bill for the better government of cities
and towns enlarges the powers and duties
of the County Commissioners, making
them, virtually, SO many Boards of Al
dermen or Common Councils, and in
vests the Sheriff with the additional au-
thority and duties Of Town Marshal.
JAMES FRAZIER, the man who had his
feet frozen on the way to Fairview
Springs, is getting along finely. Ampu-
tation will not be necessary.
CHILDREN's CHURCH. This is the
evening for the regular monthly chill
dren's service at the Episcopal Church.
All are invited to attend.
The cart-load of silver referred to in
our last was from the Phoebe mine. The
printers made us say Phenix.
