cause, and the Justice should have taxed
the costs against the compliments.
We reject the bill for sundry witness
fees 10 the case of People V Geogre Nit

the January and September terms, 1874.
At that time, we are informed, the Board
did not allow bills of this nature. And il
it was not properly allowable at that
time, in our opinion it should be re-
jected.
The-bill of L. f. Harson. Circuit Clerk,
for services in sundry criminal cases. we

1t appears by the bill that judgment was
suspended in one of the cases and SEN

MEDICAL.
SUMMONS of a Diseased Liver.
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the lett
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism IN
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurredwhere few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been eX-
tensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can be used, preparatory to, or after
taking Quinine. We would advise all
who are afflicted with this disease to
give them A FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.
BEWARE OF INVITATIONS.
The genuine DR.. c. MCLANE' LIVER
PILLS are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression DR.. McLANE's

important point is that they perfectly safe in

The Lonomon. Extension.

Mr.. J. T. Clark, Maj. Jas. A. Evans,
Col. 1. w. French, Capt. l.. Berthoud
and wife and others went down to Fort
Collins by special train yesterday. MIR.
Clark reports a very pleasant trip. He
says the new road is in very good con-
dition, everything considered. N
The side tracks at Collins were fin
ished last night. The grade is COM
pleted to Fossil creek, eight miles south
of Collins, and the tracklayers will
slide ahead to-day. 1t is 81 miles from
Collins to Longmont, and Mr.. Love
land fixes Oct. 18th as the day for the
completion. The timber for the re.
manning bridges is on the ground, and
MI. Loveland is confident that the
graders will not again delay the track
layers, as the work between Fossil creek
and Longmont is very light. Col,
French reports Fort Collins as the
liveliest place in the west.

Camp Brown is a small one, garri-

tended not so much for u base of oper-
atoms against hostile Indians as n fed
eral police station for the Bannock In
dams and bands of Eastern ~Shoshones
whose reservations lie in the neighbor-
hood. These Indians have always been
~peaceable, and have oftentimes Joined
in expeditions again the hostile Sioux.
The band of Washable is encamped
within a mile of the post, and its tepees
and Sibley tents dotting the valley of
the Little Wind River make quite a
picturesque scene, and a cheerful one
to the traveller after the desolation of
the greater part of the journey to Camp

when tho smith bound coach which
left Deadwood Wednesday morning
reached Hat Greek, the next morning,
a telegram, signed by Scott Davis, mes
senger, was received 10y Supt. Luke
Voorhees,, stating that the coach bad
been attacked yroad agents at the old
place, in the Cheyenne river bottom,
that in defending the treasure, Davis
was wounded, but not seriously, and
that the treasure was safe.
Mr.. Voorhees, t~elegraphed to Hat
Creek for further particulars, and re-
ceived in reply the snbjoined dispatch
from the operator: -
HAT CREEK, WYo., Sept. 81.
The southbound coach, with treasure
safe on board, was attacked by road
agents near the Cheyenne river about
IL o'clock last night. Scott Davis,
messenger, was shot in the leg. His
wound is painful, but not dangerous,
Davis fought until his gun got out Of
order, when he was compelled to sur
render. --,+s,
The other messenger, Denny, gavt
up after firing one shot. The robber'
took all the arms but could do nothing
with the treasure safe, and after work
ing some time at 1t, rode away.

by cavalry escort. but neither Ben
ham or the soldiers fired a shot.

Erroneous Elevations.

1t has been discovered that the for
mula heretofore used in determining
elevations by the barometer, of points
of interest in Wyoming, Colorado and
the neighboring states, is not reliable.
The mean of four years barometrical
observations on the summit of Pixies
Peak furnishes important scientific
data for arriving at accurate results
never before obtained, and as the ele-
Walton of all peaks in this part of the
Rocky Mountains, obtained by the
Hayden and Wheeler surveys depend
upon the exact elevation of Pixies
Peak, it is absolutely necessary for
this to be determined accurately. Mr..
E. S. Nettleton has been employed by
the government to determine this i'm
portant point. He will go over the
work he did in 1874 and check the
levels he then ran to the summit of
Pixies Peak, in order to obtain the
exact altitude.
The levels of the Kansas Pacific rail-
road have also been found to be erro-
neous, being about ffty-three feet too
low. This necessitates q change in
all points on roads connecting with the
Kansas Pacific in Denver. This cor
rection will make the summit Of the
Veta pass as crossed by the Denver &
Rio Grande railway 9.391.4 feet.
