BRouaHr Back Constable Tom. Har-
kin returned home from San Francisco
this morning. having in his custody Will
son Dunlap. the ASCENDING broker.
Dunlap, it will be remembered, ahscond-
ed from Gold Hill in March last. after
victimizing parties doing business with
him to the amount of $4,000. Consta-
BILE Harkin arrested him i'll San Francis
CO last Sunday evening upon charge OF
grand larceny. A warrant for his arrest
was issued from Justice Wright's Court
upon complaint of o. C. Mundell, pro-
prietor of the Eclipse stable. At the
time OF Duniap's flight he procured
horse and buggy-which he had formerly
owned-at the above named stable, os-
-tensibly for the purpose of visiting Vir-
gina City. On his arrival there he sold
the outfit TO Jonas SeeIy, and procured
another conveyance to take him TO Reno.
| OF his subsequent career but little is
known, save that he turned up some
months ago in San Francisco in the role
OF eurbstone broker. A requistion was
made upon the Governor of California
by Governor Bradley for the arrest OF
Dunlap upon charge of grand larceny,
as indicated above Gold Hill News,

FROM HAMILTON. Several Hamilto-
mans came over to Eureka yesterday.
Among the number were Sheriff Patter-
son, Under Sheriff Belrude and Hon.
John Wagner. These gentlemen are en-
route to Belmont, to testify in the case
of Smith, charged with murder and high
way robbery. Smith will be remembered
! as one of the band of robbers who stopped
the Phoebe stage between Hamilton and
White river last Summer, at the time
| Billy Mann, the driver, was killed. 1t is
pretty certain, we believe, that Smith
was not the man who held the gun when
the fatal shot was fired, yet, as he was
with the party, it is probable that he will
go up for something. His companions,
two in number, made good their escape
and have never been apprehended. If
we remember correctly, Smith made a
clean breast of the whole affair when ar
rested. The robbery and murder took
place Just across the Nye county line and
hence it is that the trial takes place at
Belmont.-[ Sentinel, 18th.
A CASE has been decided in Hamilton
in favor of the affirmative in which the
question was whether the County Com.
missioners, sitting as Board bf Equali-
cation, under the law, could draw pay
as such Board, in addition to their regu-
lar salary of 5000 per year. The Act
making the law contains no provision re-
lating to such pay being allowed, but
simply defines the duties Of said Board.
The case will probably be appealed to the
District Court, says the News, and, as
Its decision will establish a precedent in
all counties in the State, it will be the

GONE EAsr.-Joseph w. Low, brother
of Ex-Governor Low, arrested in San
Francisco, was taken East last night in
irons, on account of his failing to appear
in suit which had been brought against
him in New York City. 1t seems that
after giving bonds for his appearance in
court when wanted, in the sum of Sl6.-
900, he left New York for San Francisco.
He was non est when needed in court
hence, his arrest.-IGold Hill News,
