a reliable source that a movement is on
foot at Bull Run, C~ornucopia, and 9TH

to annex that portion to Humboldt

the uncertainty of mail communities

move. In u estimation the people OF
that section of the county show their
good sense in making this flank move

thus created Is doing more to injure the
