Nevada. was arrested yesterday after
noon on charges Of disturbing the peace,
resisting On officer, aud grand larceny.
The triple accusation was preferred by
Deputy Sheriff Holmes, who alleges
thai alter legally attaching 1000 shares
Of Coso mining stock. Thornton snatch
ed the script out Of his hand and Great
ed a disturbance of the peace By. as
saulting him.. Thornton's statement Of
the ntfair differs somewhat from the
Sheritfs. Some months ago J. s..
German entered suit against J.. Seven
oakes to recover a,76G shares of Coso
mining stock, and after prosecuting the
case IN one OF tne District Courts
accepted u compromise, one term Of
which was that Judge CARRIER was to
receive l,O0O shares Of the stock in dis.
pute. Yesterday afternoon Thornton
says, he called at the office of the Ccso
Mining Company and presented an Or
der from Judge CARRIER for the stipulat-
cd mount OF stock. Sevenoaks,
William Hamilton mud Deputy Sheriff
Holmes were present, but Thornton
thinking their presence was accidental
did not pay any attention to them.
VI Holmes oficinl character he states
TINT he was ignorant. As soon as the
stock was passed across the counter, and
before Thornton could receive il. Hol-
mes he alleges, without stating his
authority, seized the stock. aud VIA

clinchcd him by the throat and dung

liest description OF a trustle rnsucd,
and resulted in the signal defeat of the
Sheriff, from whom his antagonist succeed
ed in wrestling livestock. No bones were
broken. When the facts had been
satisfactorily ascertained, the Shiriff,
Thornton alleges, arrested him in the
most summary md yankcd
him oil to tho City Prison, where he
was searched like u sneak thief and
flung into n foul smelling dungeon for
ventu:ing to talk back" to the prison
Keeper Robinson. Against the latter
Thornton expresses his determination
to prefer charges before the Police
Commissioners. Holmes he

4 Cheyenne correspondent of the
Omaha Herald writes: al visited Den
rcr last week and spent three days in
looking over the situation MS viewed
from a Colorado standpoint. 1 have no
faith in Colorado MS n country in which
agricultural products may be success
fully and pro1tahly raised. A few
acres comparatively may be irrigated.
and the narrow bottoms of q few of the
streams mny be made, during n favor
able season, to produce crops, but after
several inquiries / failed to find my
Il who could point ME to a farmer
who had for two successive years pro-
duced o good general crop. The srass-
hoppers, drOuth, or n cold and back
ward season, will usually tell the story
OF n failure SO fur rs crops IRE con-
cernad. A man, therefore, who ell
deavors to farm it" III Colorado, Wy
oming and the western part of Nebras-
ka, In my judgement, is utterly con-
tending against nature, and, 10 this ex-
tent, is simply fooling away his time.
l have heard OF many who have taken
homesteHds, and, after spending their
Time ard money for q few years. have
been compelled to abandon them. And
II a crop i5, by some chance, success
fully raised III my one yenr, it can
be shown by actual figures that it costs
more than it will come to-"

An Arkansas oulo5y: M. Speaker
Ms l rise to address you in cornmemora-
ton OF DIR deceased colleague, Col.
Yell, Of Ycllville, my thoughts recur to
the last time when We had the pleasure
OF listening to his %cIoquencc in this
ouso. II l nm not mistaken, il was
when he explained his connection with
the Yellville Bank, which had unfortn-
nntely busted, and Of which ho was
the distinguished President. Our dc.
ceasod colleague did not recount for nil
no funds in his possession, Mr..
Speaker, but his speech on that ucca-
sion showed TINT his heart bent warmly
for his native land"
ALL tho rats in tho Ophir and Con.
solidnted Virginia mines were killed by
Tho gas during tho late fire, and not ono
ls now to be seen in either mine. Rats
take the saino place i'll the Inineu that
the Piutes do OH top. They cat M the
scraps OF brG2d, mcnt, 0tc., that nru
thrown away by tho miners, and which,
II left lying around, would make tia
mir very impure. Their presence Ia
therefore considered u gront blessing,
aI!d it is very seldom, that one OF them
Is molestcd by any Of tho miners.
