A FAsrIDIOUs TRAMP.

= He was a tramp, aud n of the
Basbi- Bazouksu Of his wandering tribe,
The stamp Of his genus was plainly
visible, from the tattered hat tina,
crowned his unkemrt head and frowsy
hair to the shoes that were covered
with the dust OF miles Of aimless wan
behring's. and as he sauntered up To the
kitchen door his countenance lit up
with pleasure when he made the dis
covery that only a poor folorn woman
was in possession of the premises.

out into a storm of abuse yer the pau

just at this time, the husband put in

The q. T.. ~Highwaymen.

BY a private letter from San Fran.
cisco yesterday the news vas received
that the two Union Pacific car robbers
recently o~verhauled and killed by the
detectives were none other than Tip
Orndorff and +. T.. Rains, both we'll
known in this town and throughout
the coast. We very much doubt the
correctness OF the information, as both
OF the fugitives have, according to
Eastern papers. been already identi-
fled. one as a cattle man from Texas,
and the other as a we'll known desper-
ado, who had resided in that part OF
the country for a number OF years.
Only a week ago the Stock Exchange
announced that Raines was in Arizona
engaged in mining speculations, and
could be found in that locality when
ever wanted. Orndorff. although a
sporting man, has always had a fair
reputation for honesty, and has never
been implicated in any transaction
heretofore that would make HIM amen
able to the law. Raines, on the con.
trary. has been under a cloud, and his
record is not altogether clean. We are
inclined to bell We that there il a
| mistake in the news. and hardly think
Its truth will be confirmed.

Return Of Judge Adams.

Justice OF the Peace Of Eureka town.
ship, returned Wednesda y night from
a protracted visit to California and the
western confines OF Nevada. We are
glad to note that the Judge bears evi
dence OF his customary good health,
and does not look n day older than
when. six or years ago, official
ing as the Chief Justice of the Base
Range. After leaving here, the Judge
became interested in a mining proper
ty near Bodie, IN Esmeraida county,
which he worked with varying success
for a year or two. During the past
season lie has travelled pretty much
all over California in search of n gravel
claim. lie finally found one that
suited him in Trinity county. He will
develop It next season. Judge Adams
returns To Eureka to look after some
mining interest he holds here, and it
is his intention to spend the winter
with us. He says in All his travels he
has seen no place which wears the
prosperous appearance of Eureka.
Southern California was completely
ruined bv the drouth, aud the Northern
portion ofthe Golden State is anything
but lively. On the whole. he thinks
Nevada. and especially the eastern
part OF it, is The best and most proinis
ing portion of the habitable globe. We
cordially welcome the Judge back to
tine scenes of his former triumphs, ju-
dicial and otherwise.

An Attempted Transfer Of Property.

Early yesterday morning Chinatown
VAS the scene OF what Dundreary
would call a "wumpus and a wiot."
The startling and ear-piercipg screams
of a Celestial dsmsel broke on the still
morning air and reused the lethargic
and opium .stupefied denlzens of that
region from their paradisical dreams to
a realization that something of mo-
ment was taking place in one of the
dens. They fastened to the scene i'm
crowds. and we suppose, from their
vociferous jabbering that they must
have taken AN active interest in the ex-
element. AS near as we could learn,
it WAS all about "A debt that one China
man owed another, and he, in liquida-

in which schedule the barbaric maiden
aforesaid was included. She, although
not di>puting the sacred right of prop.
erty existing, stoutly objected to the
transfer of property; hence arose her
screams and the ensuing confusion.
A few blows were passed, pistols and
knives were drawn, and an amour oi

this juncture an officer wendell his

and hiding places of their rookeries.
