well known throughout the State. He
was a. jolly joker. always good natured
and humorous, yet for some unaccount-
able cause he did Iot care 10 live. and
years ago attempted to take his own
own life in Sacramento.

the Law.

Within the past two weeks consid-
cradle addition has been made to our
population which is by no means de-
sirable. Since the advent of a score or
more Of these parties numerous cases
Of petty theft, till-tapping and house
breaking have occurred, but the work
is done at such times and so quietly as
10, SO far, defy detection. The pres
ence of a number of professional
thieves in our midst is known to sew
eral. The authorities OF the different
towns in the western part of the State
have been enforcing the "vag." law,
and Reno in particular, giving warn-
ing to these pests that infested that
town to move on. Eureka is the only
place they can safely come to, forthere
has never been a conviction made un
der the vagrant law in the town. This
was not due to any dereliction on the
part of the proper officers, but sym
pathetic juries could not in their hearts
send a worthless petty Larceny taief to
Jail or AVE him working on The stleess.
We have reason to believe that there
is a regularly organized gang Of thieves
now working our town, and that a
fence" where the plumber is disposed
of is being run. One of the leaders Of
this gang left town a few days since.
after being engaged in a robbery. The
property stolen was recovered and re-
turned, by a go-between, to the proper
owners. The prospects are, that n
less prompt measures are taken our
will Don be overrun by this class
of men and boys, and an effort should
be made to have the vagrant law IN
forced and either rid the town of the
thieves or else have them where they
can do the most woodworking on the
streets.

Jim crawford.

A dispatch received last evening
from Hamilton states that up to that
time Jim Crawford. the stage robber,
had not been brought in there. Proba-
bly, he never will be-aliye. If GER
tain parties in Ward got wind of his
capture and presence on the stage,
C~rawford's chances for a safe ar
rival in the Hamilton jail were
not very considerably enhanced, and
the probabilities of his being strung
up to a tree on the roadside quite
certain. Sheriff Raum started out to
meet the stage day before yesterday
and have the prisoner brought into
town by a circuitous route, but it would
seem hat something has gone wrong
or they would have arrived in Ham
ilton yesterday afternoon. The feeling
against Crawford is very bitter, and
we should not be surprised to hear of
Judge Lynch having taken him in
charge without waiting for the law to
take its course.

Cgull Not Play Him,

Judge Smith arrived in town from
Mineral Hill on Monday evenings
train, and at the solicitation of his
friends proceeded to the Inauguration
ball, then in progress. expecting to
join his comrades at that place. He
was, however, stopped by the door
keeper, who was keeping a bright look
Il for suspicious characters, and his
ticket demanded. Not being provided
with one, the Judge attempted to ex-
plain matters. what is your manner"
asked Dave. smith, was the re-
ioinder. 'That is too thin; you can't
play Smith on me-" said the door
keeper. The Judge was about to re
tire in disgust, but fortunately Hank
knight espied him and came to the
rescue. Dave a~pologized and explained
that a number of hoodlumS had at
tempted to gain admission under cover
of that coguomen, and he thought this
was a similar attempt.

Of suits.

The removal of all proceedings in
the suits now pending between the
Eureka Consolidated and Richmond
Mining Companies from the jurisdic-
ton of the District Court to the United
States Circuit Court, at Carson, vas ac-
complished yesterday morning, on Pc
tition of the plaintiff, the Eureka Con-
solidated. There is a feeling of regret
among the citizens of Eureka hat
such a move vas necessary, and agen-
eral anticipation of dull times in con
sequence. Litigation between mining
companies is not, as a rule, beneficial
to the outside interests of a town,
tending, as it does, to unsettle titles
and impair confidence in business cir
c!es, but where, as in the present case,
there is no possibility of avoiding a
legal contest, the cola incidentally and
legitimately disbursed during the
progress of the trial helps materially
toward making good the supply cut
off from other sources. We under
stand that in the preliminary proceed
ings in the injunction suit partially
tried during the last term Of the Dis
trict Court, somewhere In the neigh
borhood of $40, 600 were paid out, the
most of which found its way into cir
culation in Eureka, and if the pending
suits had been tried in this district in
stead, as is now the case, ofhaving been
| removed to another court, probably
double that sum would have been dis
bursed by the two rival companies,
and the town benefited to that extent.
Unfortunately we not only lose the
contemplated distribution of the money
that would have been generally dis
tributed. but there are also grave ru-
mors of a threatened suspension of
work at both mines. We do not vouch
for the authenticity Of these rumors,
but as there have been temporary re-
strainiug orders granted against both
parties, the effect will be to embarrass
and retard the development of re-
Gently discovered ore bodies. This
contingency falls very little short OF a
calamity, and will make dull times the
rule for some time. There are large
reserves OF ore in both mines that will
eventually be extracted and worked,
but,little or nothing in that line can be
accomplished until the pending litiga-
ton is settled, until which time we
may as well make up our minds to ac-
cept the situation and set our houses
in order for the ~stagnation that will
prevail.
