show Yesterday morning two little dirty
faced urchins in the northern part of the city
raised the cry of "mad dog,
and before the last sound of their voices had
died away, a crowd of men and boys had
joined the youngsters in the chase after a
hald breed Newfoundland dog, who was
yelping and fleeing up the railroad track,
aside of the Mint, as if he were possessed Of
an evil spirit. Missils of all and every des-
criptions were hurled at the poor creature,
which was accompanied by such cries as
| 'loOk out, he is turning round" "See 'em
froth at Their snout;" 'look away Johnny,
or he'll bite yer etc ETC., but the aims taken
were not Of a character to do the hurlers
much credit for craftsmanship, nor injury to
the dog Before the unfortunate animal got
half way up Caroline street the crowd had
been augmented to about sixty men, women
and boys, all of whom were eager for the ex-
termination of the Infatuated creature. To
one not familiar with the cause of this colec-
ton IF human souls, 1t presented the appear
anee Of a miniature communstic demUnstra-
ton Up the street went the dog more
rapidly than before, and the mob after him,
giving vent to some of the most unearthly
yells and bowls ever uttered by human
throats Now and then some yOungster
would be run over by the crowd, but such
trihing incidents we're not needed by the
constantly swelling mob. The excitement
had reached its highest pitch, when the dog
jumped fence which surrounded u house
near the cd cemetery, where he was welcomed
by lad, evidently his master. The animal
trembling with fear and agitation, permitted

crowd stood on the outside, awe struck with
gaping mouths and wonderment beaming
from their eyes, passing in friendly and well
meant warnings to the young master, but he
needed them not, knowing that his pet was
not mad, but merely frightened. 1t was
subsequently asCertained that the two bad
little boys who raised this hue and cry (and
who do not attend Sunday school,) tied tin
can to the caUdle appendage of the dog, who,
after running some distance from the scene
of his torture, shook off the can; the agra
walton produced by this segregation, which
spoiled the boys fun, melted them to shout
mad dog" the cry which raised all this
unnecessary COmmotlOn.
CHIEF OF TIE PIUTEs, CAPTAIN BOB
Captain Bob Chief of the Piutes from Vir-
ginia, with his Indian friend, johnson Sides, |
from Franktown, hunted up our reporter
yesterday to tell him that the Pluto tribe |
would have a fandango commencing this
evening in this city, north of the cemetery, |
which is to continue for FIVE consecutive |
nights. The Putes desire to take advantage |
of this occasion to re-establish the friendly |
relations which formerly existed between
themselves and tho WashOo tribe. Cap
tain Bob expresses the wish that no
liquor should be sold to the Indians by white
people, stating that all the trouble among the
indians can be attributed to the use Of white
mans fire water This chief, who is a very
intelligent indian, says that the uprising in
Idaho and Montana must be asCribed to
strong drink, furnished to the Indians by
white men In his remarks he said that
although he always maintained the most
friendly relations toward the white race since
he became chief of the Piute tribe, yet he nor
MS people have received the same benefits
from the government that less friendly
Indians have. He will not ask the govern
ment for anything; but the authorities ought
to do something for his tribe, he thinks.

NJ. NJ. Gaige, one of the principal owners
# the Mount Davidson mine, visited the
round on Sunday last and brought back with
i'm some rock from depth of 80 feet, which
vii work $500 per ton in gold. The ledge of
he mine is about 81 feet wide, and all that is
n sight is rich, gold bearing rock. This IS
mother argument in favor OF more systemat-
cally prospecting our mineral resources for
niles around. There are many hidden for
unes in our hills. We would like to see
ONE of our unemployed men find them. +,
