49, HAnSnSt Anih'ks AT WORK. We
have the following items from parties
just arrived from Desert Springs Station,
on the Salt Lake road yesterday. to wit:
That Idaho Bill was released at Beaver
on giving bonds for $4,000; that on Tues.
day last be rode up to Desert Springs
Station in company with a man named
AL. VIM, and both covered the old man
keeping station with shot guns, ma kino
him throw up his hands, after which
they went through the house taking ALI
the pistols and guns the house contained.
They then ordered the station keeper 10
cook dinner for six. Shortly after this
order was given and the dinner about
ready up rode Nate Hanson. Jno. Clark.
Ed. Shanks and old man Marsh making
the party complete. After they had
satisfied themselves in regard to eating.
Nate Hanson drew up an agreement for
the station keeper to sign agreeing not
to appear against Idaho Bill when his
trial came of at Beaver. The brave
Hanson. with five hackers, put a six
shooter to the mans head giving him
just IL minutes to sign the paper. or
course he signed it under such persuasive
arguments. Hanson then drew no a note
in favor of himself for a thousand dol.
lars and compelled the station keepsr to
sign that. 1t is to be hoped when it is
paid" that the five other thieves will
not allow Hanson to get away with IL
and play it off. They will have to look
we'll to this or he will do it sure. Honor
among thieves does not affect him,
Unfortunately, as things some times
happen, the man employed to haul wood
for the station came in sight Just about
this time and as he was s-witness in the
case of Idaho Bill OF course he was
seized and paper similar to that signed
by the station keeper drawn up and pre-
sented to him which he was compelled to
sign. The party having accomplished
all they could rode of. Nate Hansou's
place on the Salt Lake road has for q
long time back been a resort of this gang
and many cattle have disappeared in the
neighborhood under the supposition
that Hanson's crowd had hankerinR
after young beef II they had few Of
our officers around in that neighborhood
they would not ba quite 80 brazen as of
late. Something ought to be done at
once, by the Utah authorities.
CoAsTISG.-This babyish practice is
now becoming terrible nuisance. We
yesterday heard of several accidents that
occurred on Tuesday night, which we
think should have the effect of stopping
it Immediately. Mrs. W. L. Mckee had
her ankle dislocated while coasting on
that evening. in consequence of which
she will be confined to the house for sew
eral days. One party coasting down
Phoebe street ran into another sled, up
setting it and striking one of the occu.
pants on the back, hurting him severely.
There are other accidents too numerous
to mention. If citizens would do as we
say. spread ashes on the track in front
of their residences. it would soon stop
the practice.
A Row.-A row occurred yesterday af-
ternoon al the corner OF Main and
Meadow Valley streets, in front of Press
Wand's saloon. Some parties had been
playing faro, and INDUCED 10 quarrel
over the table. The party that was in
the right OF the matter, SO we learn, left
the saloon and passed to the street, to
which place hs was followed by the other
bellgerent, the latter hauling back his
list to hit the first named, who, acting
strictly on the defensive, planted q couple
of quick blows on the left optic OF the
would-be fighter, which settled the mat
ter. What further would have taken
place we cannot chronicle, as an officer
happened along and prevented further
demonstrations.
DRUNKEN INDIAN. Yesterday We OBJ
served on lower Main street an Indian
who was 80 much under the influence of
liquor that try as he would he could not
keep from staggering This practice of
selling liquor to Indians is getting too
frequent in this town. Officers have
tried to ferret this matter out for some
time back but have failed so far. It is
to be hoped the rascals will be caught
who sell the liquor.
INDEPENDENT SOCIAL CLUE We are
under obligations to the Independent
Social Club for an invitation to the sixth
OF their series of hops. to be given at
Browns Hall on Tuesday evening, Janu-
airy %. 1876. The last one given by this
club was very pleasant Que aud we
know this will DO equally so.
GRAND BALL.-A. suIzbacher of the
Pioneer Saloon, Meadow Valley street,
contemplates giving a grand ball this
evening. As this is intended to be a
ball that is for friends only he has
issued a number of tickets which are
marked mot Transferable.
WILL BE BURIED IN P1ocHE.-The
friends Of Spanish George, who died in
Tokerville yesterday morning, tel
egraphed to that place to take care of
the dody until they arrived there as they
intended bringing it to Phoebe for
burial.
VIZ had the pleasure of meeting
Tommy Dryer, engineer at the Raymond
\ Ely mill at Bullionville, last evening.
Tommy reports things quiet in that burg.
