PACIFIC COAST.


ing appears in the Sentinel this morning:
"There seems to be no longer doubt
but that We have vigilance committee
fully organized in our midst. or whom
il is composed or how far the work will
be carried is OF sourse shrouded in i'm
penetrsble mystery. There were some
doubts about the genuineness Of the
notices first posted until yesterday morn
ing, when number of parties received
tickets of leave. We heard during the |
day and last night of five persons who |
had been thus served and there were |
rumors that several others either had or |
would be notified to depart. In most
cases those warned are of the class de-
nominated in common parlance stffs,
though it is quite positive that at least
one of those ordered to leave is pretty
fair man. At all events his friends claim
that he is not a bad character. Through
charity and the hope that those who have
gone may do better for themselves else
where than they have here we withhold
all names. 1t is asserted that four per-
sons who received notices stood not upon
the order of going but went at once. A
majority Of them, all in fact, but one,
was allowed but "a hours in which to ar.
range their affairs here prior to departing
for pastures new. The single exception,
man who is in business, n saloon keep
er, was given three days. Four others
promptly packed their worldly effects and
as promptly left for the railroad. The
general impression about town last night
was to the effect that other notices were
likely to be served and there was in con-
sequence great CONSERVATION among per-
sons who had no visible means Of support.
1t is high handed piece Of business, bnt
it must be admitted that the town is quite
as well off from being rid OF most of the
characters who have so suddenly disap.
peared. We are informed by gentlemen
who claim to have seen oil of the notices
served yesterday that the handwriting
was identical in each instance, leaving
the inference that the committee has u
secretary who does all OF the business.
The whole affair has been kept very quiet
yet. From "onversing with the business
men about town we find that there is a
very general and decided Endorsement OF
the course OF the committee"

complaint of stockholders OF the ella
Mining Co., who at their meeting last
