2, one of the characters of Typo, was
unfortunate enough to make a winning
a few days since at one of the faro
games OF that place, and wound up by
making an enforced appearance before
the Justice Of the Peace of that place.
Uncle Henry Mannheim was the prose-
cutting witness, who charged Peanuts
with the larceny of a watch. The evil
dence during the trial did not substan-
tiate the charge, however, as it was
proven that the man had possession of
the watch by the knowledge and con-
sent of Uncle Henry, who allowed him
to wear 1t awhile to test its value before
purchasing. In order to thoroughly
test the trinket Peanuts contemplated
a tour through the country, to see If 1t
would withstand climatic changes, but
he was deferred in making the trip by
an officer overtaking him at Belmont.
Jew Mike was introduced as witness
for the prosecution, but the Justice ap-
pears not to have been favorably i'm.
pressed with Michael, as he would not
let him be sworn or allow him to tes-
tify. The cost bill, amounting to $3.50,
was taxed to Uncle Henry. "What a
country; what a beebles!"
ORE THIEvEs.-A few days since it
was discovered hat some had
stolen about 500 sacks OF ore from the
dump of the "Maria" and another
mine on Prospect Mountain. Geo. w.
Mccullough, one of the Owners of the
former mine, started an investigation
and soon traced the missing property
to one of the furnaces i'm town, where
1t had been left for smelling. Notify
ing the parties with whom it had e
left for smelling to hold on to the
money, George started up the noun.
tain to find out ii possible who the
thieves were, but was no successful.
He was stopped by a nan who handed
him a letter which contained an order
for the money due on the ore, signed
by some unknown rarty. Ore steal
ing is getting rather too frequent of
late, and if some party should be
caught in the act and fall in the hands
Of the miners on the mountain, we
would have q first. class item to write
up'in which description of how some
body looked at the end of a rope dane
ing on - would be conspicuous.
UNDER New MANAGEMENT.-The
Ell Dorado 81 loon, which has been
closed for some time past, reopened
last night with Jim Kellogg at the
wheel as chief dispenser of liquid re-
freshnlents and "tixins." Jim is a
veteran in the business, and what he
don't know about running a saloon
would do no man any good to learn.
In connection with the bar is a fine
billiard room, private oons, ETC., and
Jim intends running the place up to
the handle. He can serve up "a ring
buster" cocktail, or a Hasey punch,
with equal skill, and intends running
the ranch in a ann that will meet
the appreciation of all who favor him
with their patronage. Call in and see
him.
THE CLANS CONFERENCE.-The Car
son Tribune of Tuesday says:-Fred.
Hart, Thomas Wren and G. G. Wallace
arrived this morning from Eastern
Nevada. Fred. and Charley are dele
gates to the State Convention and Tom
Wren is one of the candidates for Con-
gress. How the Hon. gent passed
Reno without being slaughtered by the
gallant Pownipg is a mystery to us,
but here he is and looking as sharp as
ever. We ara informed that Fred.
Hart is Wren's henchmsn and chief
wire puller. They are a sgood pair,
both shrewd looking and as keen as
they look TO be.
FROM PIocnE.-We had the pleas
ure of meeting Matt. Halpin last even
ing, one Of the business men OF Phoebe,
who arrived by yesterdays stage.
Matt. is "A delegate to the Democratic
State Convention which meets in Vir-
ginia City next week. He Will remain
i'll towu L day and leave on Tomorrow
mornings train fol the west; mean
while he will be kept busy renewing
old acquaintances, who are numerous
in town and who will be glad to see
him. for, once a friend, he is OF the
kind not easily forgotten.
BASE BALL.-The Eagle Base Ball
CLUB leaves Eureka soon for the State
Fair, where 1t will contest for the
championship with the crack clubs Of
the State. Can not Carson get up a
club to take the starch out of those Base
Rangers ?-Cdrs0n Tribune.
Get up a club and Try. Having to
beat a club or two, more or less, while
on the trip will not interfere with the
programme already arranged by the
Eagles. Trot out your ball tossers.
On HIS MUSCLE. An individual,
orazed with crooked whisky, was
meandering about North Main street
yesterday afternoon, seeking whom he
might devour. He found his man and
an ensanguined eye about the same
time. He was arrested by Charlie
q rimm and locked up.
