Carson Tribune, OH: Hon. Pete Cana
van and Mr.. o. l.. Scott, Of Eureka, ar.
rived by the passenger train this morn
ing and brought with them five halt
orphan children from Elko county and
delivered them into the charge of State
Treasurer Schooling. 1t appears that
the mother OF the poor little children
died two months ago and that their brute

boasts of State University shipped the
poor little waits, like lot of sheep, for
the Carson market, without providing
for their care, and had it not been that

put to death by slow torture; and the
people of Carson ought to say with loud
acclaim, God bless those large. hearted
men who helped the orphans.

Again, the attempts to manufacture the
teaching liquors as yet are hardly per

The latter defect is being remedied by
bringing in one or two springs, and the
assayer, Wagner. has latterly succeeded
in making the former. So the twenty
days run has been productive of some

the mill is almost certain The lette'
