A Moonlight Prize Fight.

A couple of stalwsrt miners, off of
duty and rollicking in one of our
Main. street saloons, got into a dispute
as to the personal prowess and en-
durance mutually possessed by each
other. After quite a wordy warfare
they agreed to adjourn to a seQuest-
cred locality and settle the question at
issue by a regular prize fight. This
happened on Tuesday evening" and
the moo WIS shining brightly, shed
ding sufficient light to enable the con
testants to maui each other vigorously.
The ring fight lasted half an hour, and
during that time the men bruised and
battered each other to their hearts con
tent. The battle ended by one OF the
combatants being felled by a fearful
blow from his antagonist. knocking
him completely out of time and rem
dering him insensible for a space oil
five minutes. The crowd gathered
around and applied all the restoratives
ut hand, and the man reviving was
carried of tn his room. 1t will be
some days before he makes his reap
pearance on the street, as he was Sc
verely injured. The victor and friends
celebrated his triumph by an orsie,
and seemed TO think hat they had all
been participating in a noble action and
| one worthy of commentator. 1t was
a brutal affair throughout, and the
principals and abettors ought to have
| been arrested.

Buried Treasure.

Soon after Bob Hamilton's release
from the State Prison he retured to his
old haunts in Eureka and surround
Ing country, and for a time was loud
in his protestations of reform and a
desire 10 lead . better life In the future.
After resting for a week or so in town
he departed for Egan Canyon. at which
place, he stated. he had been promised
employment. 1t was shrewdly sur
missed at the time that he was going
owe into that country to dig up a
plant, having before his capture and
trial buried the proceeds OF his haul
from Billy Evans. some $4,000, in that
vicinity. The truth of these surmises
il corroborated by Mr.. Osborne, of
Schellburn, who states that an Indian
accompanied Bob to his deposit and
was a witness to his exhuming the
treasure. The Piute afterwards in
formed Mr. Osborne u the incident,
and although not able to fix the exac
amount, described il as heap money.
all same hat full" Bob returned from
bis jaunt. bringing with him several
fine horses. and, as the boys say, "well
heeled" with coin. He was just about
going into business, having bought out
a hurdy house ON lower Buel street,
and was In Sacramento for the purpose
of procuring the necessary female at
fractions to run the same, when he was
arrested for completely in the Tybo
stage robbery, and now %languishes in
the Belmont Jail, awaiting an examin
alton on hat charge. "Verily, the
way of the transgressor is hard"

The placid surface of the lake, as the
reservoir in front of the office OF the
Eureka Consolidated Office is termed,
has been adorned by a small but trim
built schooner, launched and owned
by the young mariner, Master Don
nelly. She rode the waves like q thing
OF life for several days, and afforded
that young gentleman a world of
amusement; but in the fearful storm
that has ragged for the past two days,
she dragged her anchors and driited
about at the mercy Of the winds until
yesterday morning, when she became
wster-logged and sunk TO the bottom,
not a soul among her crew or pass
engers living to tell the tale. Master
Donnelly Is now a ull-fledged captain
without a ship TO command, and Is
likely TO remain so, unless some of his
friends take pity on him and furnish
him with a more seaworthy vessel.

/ He was very drunk, and he sat on
the hydrant box in front Of Paxton's
Bank, swaying to and fro In a vain
effort to preserve his equilibrium. The
liquor that he had imbibed had pro-
duced 9 mental confusion Of his brain
that induced him to believe that the
old coal oil ~ that he was hanging
on to with such tenacity was a bar of
bullion, the product Of a coyote hole
in the hill, that he a~bsurdly. called a
mine. The boys who gathered around
listening 10 his insane mutterings
caught the drift Of a few sentences in
which he stated that "sbe was a fine
dore. and assayed 81 500, If she did a
cent" Bringing up his tin can t o get a
better view of his prize, he lost his
balance and fell head over heels into
the street and under the legs OF Puss
(Rube Egleston's express horse), who,
in the emergency, displayed a great
deal o sense than the drunkard.
The quadruped picked up his feet
gingeriy and stepped carefully over
the PROSTATE form of the man, out of
tho way, and then looked ~serenely
down on the fellow as no struggled to
regain his upright position. Beevent-
usily succeeded, but the height from
he street to the sidewalk was another
poser, and his Timber condition inter-
posed insuperable obstacles. After
several vain essays to regain his for
mer vantage ground, he quit the at
tempt and started across the street,
still hugging the old can to his bosom,
happy in the possession of his imagin-

blage, who had gathered around to en-.
JOY his comical performances. The

Jumped the Platform.

He stated from Palisade with a VAL
liable dog, for he told the brakeman
that he would not take $500 for him
when he entrusted his canine prop
erty to that officials care. All went
well until after leaving Mineral Hill
Station, when he got lonesome and
asked the privilege of taking his four
footed friend out ON the rear platform,
in order to caress the dumb beast and
while away the idle time in the COM
partnership of his faithful follower.
1t got rather chilly coming down the
grade from the summit, and he tied the
dog to the railing and adjourned To-
side the car. Going across Diamond
valley he bethought himself of his prop
erty, and went out to look after his
welfare. The chain and collar vas fol-
lowing along behind at the rate of
about 80 miles an hour. but there was
no dog in sight, and it is a mournful fact
thai that canine is strewn over a space
of 20 miles. He jumped the platform
in the absence of his master. and in
his vain effort to keep up with the
train he was rapidly G~isinteRrated. Ii
there is a dog resurrection that par
ticular one will raise in pieces, aud bis
mortal remains will have TO go through
a wonderful process to ever he re-
stored to their original entirety. A
disconsolate nan offers for sale chair
and dog collar, cheap for cash.
