Tus IypI.s Aefscy.-The general dis
.,tisfaetion with the Ingalls, brothers in
Connection with Indian affairs in South
:, Utah and Nevada has taken such
shape as to induce our citizens to make
a direct appeal to the authorities at
w,sbinoton for redress. The following
,..,,ti,ion. with the names of citizens
amended, has been handed us for pub
PIocHE, New. Jan. q, 1874.
The undersigned citizens of Lincoln
county, State of Nevada, would most re-
.nsctfully petition for change of man
Lament in the Indian affairs of this dis
ifict. We believe that change in this
,cenev would give general satisfaction
an1 security TO the ranchers and settlers
in Southern Utah and Nevada, and would
lend to pacify the Indians in this Indian
agency district, who are greatly dlssatis-
I'D with their treatment by the present
incumbent. For which we will ever pray,
etc.

Nor DEAp.-Some,ime two or more
persons bear exactly the same name, re-
sulting at times in serious complications
and ut others leading TO ludicrous results.
We well remember an incident in the
career OF a gentleman now living in
Phoebe which was brought to mind yes
terday on reading the letter to which
allusion will be made hereinafter. This
gentleman was then (early in 1869 an
honest miner on the banks of Weaver
Creek, in Ell Dorado county, CAL, and
happening at the Postoflice inquired for
letters, giving his name in full. Much
to his satisfaction the accommodating
clerk passed out n letter to his address.
With mingled feelings of Joy and appre-
hension he opened it: but Judge of his
CONSERVATION Che being then less than
twenty years old and as free from any
matrimonial tie as the youth who never
saw woman) when he read the opening
words, as follows
my Dear Husband-The baby is
WELL"
The letter was Immediately resealed
and returned to the Postoffice, with the
usual Endorsement in such cases, "opened
by mistake" Such incidents have been
anu uIt sun Nultt ph thio Souo',
and infrequently much anguish is caused
by reading of the death of some stranger
bearing the exact name of some relative
or dear friend. Yesterday VIM. j. Kelly
received letter from a. McWilliams,
dated Gold Hill January 16, in which
the writer expresses much grief on learn
ing that his brother, Chas. McWilliams,
had been killed at Cherry Creek by John
Donavan. 1t turns ont that the man
killed at Cherry Creek was another per-
son bearing the same name of that of
our fellow-townsman, Charley McWil-
iams, who was alive and well yester-
day.
The LATE JOHN G. JAMES. From gen.
tlemen in Phoebe, who have known Mr.
james for many years, we learn that he
was a native of Ohio. He came to thu
Pacific coast in 1S49 or so, and 1855 o,
sc he represented Sierra county in til,
California Assembly. He was amony
the first Adventures who came acros
the Sierra Nevada Mountains and set
tied in the Carson Valley. While all tn
territory which now comprises the Stat
Of Nevada was known rs the Carsol
country and belonged to Utah Territory
Mr.. James was elected member of tn
Utah Territorial House OF Representa-
tives, and was the first Gentle who eve
sat in the Utah Legislature After th
adjournment of the Legislature he re
turned to Carson, and has resided prir
cipOlly at that place and Virginia Cit
ever since. He served as Assemblyma
in the Legislature of this State durin
the session of csc. His surviving rel'
tives are mother, who short time ae
came to this coast on visit and is sto]
ping at Los Angeles, and four brother
one of whom is /. E. James. the we
known civil engineer, another brother
VIM. II. James, Ex-Governor OF n
braska. The other two brothers are A
fred and Walter, the first of whom
Register of Los Angeles county aud II
other Surveyor of Kern county. He W
man of genial disposition and fiji
social qualities, a warm-hearted frien
and was highly esteemed by all wi
knew him.
A DEAD-FALL.-O Meadow Vail
eieei, near tu6 centre VI tuht tuOiouE
fare, about midway between Main sire
and the Office of the railway compan
is shaft about so feet deep, which is
dangerous condition. 1T has in tim
past been covered with boards Of sui
cient strength to bear q mans weigl
but into which runaway or refracto
horse might have tumbled at any tin
1t seems, however, that some of
boards which made the rude covering
this dead-fall have been removed, a
now child is liable to fall into this sh
at any time. Effort after effort has be
made to get somebody or some author
to move in the matter of having this r
fall securely fenced in, boarded over,
filled up. We think it would be 60
thing if the Grand Jury soon to be
paneled, would declare this shaft n
sance, and dangerous to the public "
fare.
