Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1874-01-27

yesterday shown a private letter from,
Virginia. New. to a gentleman in this
city, which says that the San Francisco
Chronicle has raised the ire and indio-
nation OF the people Of that place by its
unwarranted and untru,hful attack upon |
the mining interest Of this State. The
Virginia people are hostile to all attempts
at blackmail, and as a result of the legit.
innate descendant of the Mazeppa's
course, they have discontinued 200 copies
oil the Chronicle, and furthermore an
organization has been formed in Virginia
which by correspondence and otherwise
VIII use every proper influence in re-
buking the Chronicles misrspresenta-
lions, and to accomplish this purpose
have determined TO make an attack in
its most vital part-the pocket. The
people Of Phoebe, as evidence Of their
appreciation Of the Chronicles course,
are also disseminating it, II San Fran
cisco merchants value the trade OF Phoebe,
they had better advertise in some other
paper than the Chronicle, for that sheet
will soon be without readers here.
ARRKsTED.-.Mr. Lehman, of the Pio-
neer Stables, and Officer Woodruff, who
for nearly Week had been in pursuit OF
Chandler, alias Tex" and Charles
Robinson. returned on Saturday night
with the prisoners in charge. They were
overtaken in camp about 80 miles from
the Muddy, and when discovered they
tried to hide in some willows, but made no
resistance. Both remain in Jail awaiting
the further action of the authorities
Tex" is well known to our readers, but
this is Robinsons first offense, and il he
is fortunate enough to get out of this
difficulty we hope the lesson will prove a
salutary one. He has conducted himself
generally very well in Bullionville, where
he had been working for some months.
SURGICAL OPERATION. Yesterday morn
ing the colored man whose feet were
frozen some weeks ago, and who has

painful nature performed by DR.. Deal,

and Bishop and Philson. The operation
cosnisted in taking off both feet at the
instep, besides taking of part Of each
heel. The patient was placed under the
