State has alieady been called to the cas-
ofJohn O'Malley, who. it will be remem
bered, shot at j. b. Z. Cavalier in Sar
Francisco a few weeks ago. Mr.. OMal
lev was driven to the commission of til,
act for which he is held amenable, by tn
bad faith and treachery Of Cavalier
through whose instrumentality OMalle,
WAS defrauded Of two years hard earn
inps. He had no other redress than tina
resoited to by him, and as a sympathize,
with Mr.. o 'Malley, who is known favor
ably to so many as an industrious, hon
orabe man. think it due TO him thai
there should be some expression of the
laboring classes in Lincoln county in Mr.
oMalley's favor. They believe in sus.
tanning the laws of the country, but there
are cases in which violation of the law
is made under circumstances of great
mitigation. and such o case is that OF
Mr.. O'Malley in his attack upon Cayal.

cation is to call attention to Mr.. O'Mal.

FIREMEN's BALL.-The Fire Depart
ment of Phoebe give their grand masquer-
ade ball this evening at Browns Hall,
and as the most elaborate and perfect
arrangements have been made by the
various committees, it cannot be other
wise than success. 1t should be men
toned that this ball is not gotten up
merely for the pleasure and glorifcation
of the firemen, but its chief object is to
raise money to maintain the department
better than it can be maintained with the
means now at command. 1t should be
the aim Of every one-firemen and nom
firemen-to make tie ball of tonight
great financial success.
An exchange defn,s local enterprise
after this fashion: III you think Of any
thing that can be done to beautify or
build up your town, 60 in aud do it. Do
not fight the laying down of a new side
walk because you have to bear your
share of the expense. Keep your capt.
help your own merchants to sell more;
always get your work done in your town,
ifpossible. Subscribe and pay for your
own local paper; don't steal or borrow
the reading OF it. If you follow these
suggestions and your town does not
build up and improve, it will not be your
fault.
JOHN O'MALLkY.-A card in to.day's
paper from friend Of Mr.. O'Malley sets
forth some facts which, though known to
many, have not been acted upon. But
in this connection it may be well to re-
mark that now is the best time for the
expression of opinion in his behalf, as
well as for acts on the part of his friends
and sympathizers. O'Malley needs not
only moral support, but substantial aid,
and we hope he will receive both.
O'Malley was for a long time at work in a
mill at Bullionville, under the superin-
tendence of Thomas McMasters, and is
also well known by many others in this
county.
JOSEPH HENKERsALL, convicted in the
District Court, for Lincoln county of
the crime of grand larceny and sentenced
to Is months in the Penitentiary, has
been restored to citizenship by action of
the Board Of Pardons, his term OF SEN
tence having expired. We hear of no eff
fort being made here to bring about the
result above recorded, and are left to the
inference that the general good conduct
of Hinkersal while in prison actuated
the Board of Pardons.
FIRST DAY OF SPRING.-Yesterday was
the first day OF Spring, and the warm
rays shed SO literally by old Sol caused
the sunny side of the street to command
premium. All the weather-wise now
asservate that Winter is over--at least
that there need be no apprehension Of a
recurrence Of snow storms. Well, We
have had enough during the past Winter
to satisfy any reasonable demand. We
now look forward fondly for season Of
pleasant weather.
FOUND DEAD.-A man named L. l..
Post was found dead last Wednesday
about seven miles from White River,
Nye county. Some time since he left
Lambs ranch to go to George Lewis /,
and being caught in storm persisted.
He was an old resident Of Lincoln coun-
ty, having been one Of the first settlers
in Pahranagat Valley.
TuAwING was very rapid on Sunday
and yesterday. The streets are running
with streams Of muddy water. and the
mud is becoming serious impeachment
to travel by vehicle, on horseback or on
foot. Another week Of continuous dry
weather will make the thoroughfares
passable.
PoRTLANp.-The stock of this mine is
still increasing in value. The late de.
velopments in the American Flag act as
aids to the Portland and all the
mines in that part of the district, many
of which only await some encouraging
development to induce owners to put UP
the capital to work them.
KENo!-Frank Blacks keno game il
the center Of attraction every evening
Those who have learned the System
declare that keno is the only game al
which every body wins. Keno is a very
pleasant mode Of passing leisure hour
and is not expensive.
BULLION LosT.-J. j. Hoffman, agent
Of w. L. Pritchard in Phoebe, offers
handsome reward for the recovery OF
certain bars of base bullion. For further
particulars see the advertisement anf
call at the Office in Phoebe.

given this evening by the Firemen o
Phoebe are for sale by Mrs. Hickox, La
cour street. Any taste can be suited a
