A Relic.
!. BIRD.

Eugene Blair showed us yesterday a
weapon that formerly belonged to
Carlow, the dead stage robber. 1t was
found laying in front of him where he
fell after having been shot by Blair.
1t is, or was originally, a shotgun.
Both barrels have been cut off until
only about a foot is left, and the stock
has been whitfield down to about one
fourth of its original dimensions. 1t
makes a very dangerous arm, and one
that would do good service in close
quarters, its length being only about
eighteen inches. 1t had evidently
been used for a club-in fact Carlow
knocked a mar down with it the night
before the attempted stage robbery.
When Eugene found it, IL was loaded
fully eight inches with powder and
pistol balls. Eugene informs us that
the State refuses to pay the standing
reward of $3.50 offered for the appre-
hension Of highwaymen. The last
Legislature passed a law establishing a
reward of $3.50 for the arrest and CON
viction OF any person engaged in that
particular business. They refuse to
pay the o in this case on the
ground that having killed him there
was consequently no arrest. 1t seems
to us that the State can better afford to
pay for dead highwaymen than convict
ed live ones, as 1t ave the expense of
keeping them during a long term Of
Imprisonment.

Horse Thieves.

A telegram from the Constable of
Cherry Creek was received by Sheriff
Sias Wednesday, stating that he had
ca ptured eleven stolen animals-eight
horses and three mules~-that had been
taken from Enreka county. Also that
he had wounded two of the thieves,
one of whom had escaped, and the
other he was holding until a warrant
was te~legraphed, or the proper officer
arrived to take charge of the man and
stolen property. Sheriff Sias started
for Cherry Creek as soon as the tels-
gram was received, and is expected
back tomorrow.

The Indian War.
A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
AT THE FRONT.
Old Winnenucca Stands in With
The Whites.

w Osusy III 90
A special correspondent sends the
following from Mount Idaho, under
date of the 25th: Got through safely
to General Towards headquarters on
the Cottonwood at 6 O'Clock this morn
ing. The command has since marched
fifteen miles to this point, where it has
been joined by the balance OF the de-
tachment commanded by Colonel
Perry. Officers and men are in excel
lent health and spirits. We move this
afternoon to Johnson'sranch ten miles
beyond here. The balance of the
troops from Fort Lapwai are expected
to- morrow evening, which will place
the total force under General Howard,
troops and volunteers, at about 500.
The latest intelligence at headquarters
from the Indians Is to the effect that
Joseph aud his followers are encamped
near Salmon river, at the mouth of
White Bird creek, about six miles from
the of the late fighting with the
troops under Colonel Perry, and eight
cen miles from Mount Idaho. They
are said to number all the way from
100 to 400 warriors. A great number
of renegade Indians from different
bands have joined Joseph on Salmon
river. Lieutenant Tremble with
his company and volunteer detach-
ment will tonight be at Slate
creek, where abouG SO citizens have
fortified, and hold the place. General
Howard intents to reconnoitre, and
hold Joseph in check till the balance
of the troops from the forts arrive,
when a battle may be expected. No
further murders have been reported,
though the latest information is that
the Indians on Hangman's creek are
getting very restless, and a portion
have refused to accept any part of the
Reservation, and left with one of their
peaceful chiefs. 1t is reported that
Joseph is anxious to have a fight with
the troops, and he will probably have
an opportunity within a few days.
The agent at Lapwai is confident that
but few of the treaty Indians will join
Joseph, and parties claiming to be
we'll informed claim hat the Indians
north of Snake and Clearwater rivers,
will not assist them, as the Nez Perces
declined to help them in the war of
5 sand $50. Umatillas will be pre-
vented from joining the hostiles with
much force, and from the Boise Sec
ton there are no Indians to come. A
Boise City dispatch says Chief Winnie
mucca, OF the Piutes, came in to Boise
City this forenoon with twenty war
riors. He held a council with Gov
ernor Brayman, declaring friendship,
and the Gouernor of his de-
termination to join with the Bannocks
and Shoshones, and assist the whites
against the Nez Perces if necessary,
who are his old enemies. Governor
Brayman furnished them with some
supplies, and they leave town to-mor-
row for the great Camas prairie, to join
Captain Boise jim, while Winnemuc-
ca himself returns to Silver City, and
will bring the balance of his people
owe to the great Camas prairie.

A CARD.
To the Property. Holders OF the
Town Of Eureka:

To the Property AAOIOers OF Inc
Town of Eureka:
When I agreed to erect a fire tank, and to
keep it full of water, for tho purpose Of ex-
tinguishing tre. l did not agree to supply
water also from that or any other source to
sprinkle the streets. Whom the fire tank is
drawn down, it takes about As hours to refill
it With all the water that can possibly be
forced through tho. pipes. All l am under
obligations to do is to fill it, and keep a sufi.
cient quantity running in to keep it full.
Now. if the property-owners are willing to
have the water drawn of for sprinkling. and
thereby leave the tank more than half empty
almost all the time, with Thorn rests the re-
sponsibility. If they continue to sprinkle
from the water works, l will direct tine Su-
perintendent to turn of the water after q GER
tain hour in the evening. to be again turned
on in the morning, first notifying the people
to supply themselves with water for the
night. The object of this will be to secure q
supply Of water from some source to sxtin-
guish fire in an emergency, if . fire should
occur. / have offered to donate water for
sprinkling purposes. / had hoped this would
have boon satisfactory. No one regrets moro
than ! do the necessity for the course ! fear !
| shall bs called on to pursue.
For the truth of all l have said in regard to
my contract to supply water for fire purposes,
l refer you to Judge Cromer, Mr.. Hinckley,
Hon. D. L. Baily and Col. Tom. Taylor, who
were appointed on the part of the town to no
g~otiate this matter, and to the article Of
agreement on file in tho Clerks Office Of Eu-
reka County.
P.S. The supply of water is ample for all
necessary purposes. but none to waste.

The Seventeen Year Locust.

The following description Of the
habits of the winged plague that lately
appeared in such great numbers in
this neighborhood, will be interesting
TO our readers. Their true name is
the harvest fly, although they are gen
orally called lOcusts: sin the larvae
state these insects are wingless and
subterranean, living on the juices of
roots. On the outer wings of the per-
feet insect, near the tip, is a dusky zig
gag line in the form of the letter w,
which by the superstitious is supposed
to indicate the approach Of war. The
expanse of the wings is from two and
a half 10 three and a quarter inches.
The males DOR die. They present
scarcely a trace of digestive apparatus,
and probably do not eat. In the I ..
male, the digestive system is complete,
and she must eat to supply the food
necessary to develop the five hundred
eggs she lays, unless her life is cut
short by aerial enemies. In order to
deposit her eggs. the female pierces a
slender twig to the rith, boring a hole
long enough to contain about sixteen
eggs. The eggs hatch in about six
weeks, when the larvae drop to the
ground and Immediately bury them
selves in the earth, where they remain
for a long series of years. AS the time
of transformation approaches they
gradually advance toward the surface
from a depth of n or two feet. They
generally leave the earth on a warm
night, and ascend tress in immense
numbers. In a short time the skin
bursts on the back. and the perfect in
sect ome forth. 1t is supposed that
not more than two ont of the five hun
dred eggs deposited by the female
reach perfection" The pest has about
disappeared, and it is supposed that
seventeen years will elapse before the
perfect development Of the larvae and
their ~reappearance in their old haunts.
Picnic.
The picnic of the children of the
Presbyterian Sunday school was at
tended by all the little ones attached to
that institution and many of the
parents and friends. They we're con-
veyed by stage and private convey
ances to the grounds selected in the
neighborhood of the Italian ranches in
Diamond valley. On the arrival at the
grounds tents were pitched and a
bountiful lunch spread, which was en-.
joyed by all. Games and ~foot-racing.
i~nterspersed with occasional songs,
participated in by both young and old,
served to pass the time pleasantly
away. firing Of these amusements,
the party scattered and gathered rae
tus and wild flowers from the hills.
They stared on their return at 8
o'clock T. NJ. coming home by the
way of the Willows. Much credit is
due Mr.. and Mrs. Richard. Rev. S.
NJ. Crothers and the teachers, for their
management of the affair, and their
untiring efforts to please the chill.
