U. S. TRooPs.-Yesterday afternoon
two companies Of United States troops
arrived at Bullionville. One is formed
Of mounted infantry, the other of foot.
They were sent from the post at Beaver
in answer to the application of the au-
,horities of this county. The prompt
ness with which the request has been
responded to is very creditable to the
department. As there is but little doubt
that the reported murder of the Castera
family is nothing but a can )rd, the troops
will only have the murderers OF the
Honan party to deal with. Though from
what we learn from parties Who are con-
versant with the habits of the band that
committed the murders, it is likely that
they are far away by this time and will
be difficult to find. The only feasible
mode that has been suggested is to 60 to
the head chief and compel him to have
the guilty parties brought in and de-
livered up for punishment. Several per-
sons travelling alone, or in parties of two
or three, have unaccountably disap-
peared in the last two or three years, and
it is suspected that they have met with
foul play from the very Indians that at
tackled the Honan party. 1t is time for
them to be punished.
FoR CARSON. Yesterday our valued
friend DR.. Bergstein left for Carson to
attend to his legislative duties. The
Doctor carries with him our best wishes,
and we are sure those of the community
in which be has so long been resident
We believe that he will make an excellent
record as legislator, having though
Young, considerable experience in a
mining community, and is we'll &C.
ouaintsd with its interests and needs.
He will do his best to conserve the one
and supply the other. By the same stage
that carried the Doctor, another of our
legislators LETT, Mr.. Al. Blair. Johnny,
as all his friends take the privilege Of
calling him, will be found the right mar
in the right place. He will always care
fully attend to his duties and protect the
interests of his constituents to the bes'
Of his ability. He will make clear anG
honorable record.
