SEVEN DAY PRISONERS.

Under this head the Elko Independent says
couple of men have just been brought from
Tuscarora and consigned to the county Jail for
term of seven days each. They were con-
victed in the Justice Court of that bailiwick;
one for illegitimately appropriating two-bits
worth Of sage brush, and the other of simple
fracture of the peace and dignity of the town
For these henlous offenses-being impecun-
ious-justice could only be satisfied by the
incarceration of the culprits for the protracted
term of seven days, and the United States
mail coach was at once made the vehicle of
their transportation to the county seat
Seven entire days! Just think of it-one
weeks board and lodging gratuitously, with
whiskey thrown in. It's an awful fate for
the poor fellows; their most intimate friends
will not be able to recognize them after so
long an absence-thev'n be so fat and slick.
Why it's heap better'n cumming with carte
blanc on free lunch, and then the whole
glorious vindication of outraged society won't
cost the county to exceed couple of hun
dred dollars; certainly not over two hundred
and fifty, and what's such paltry sum in
comparison with the stern enforcement of
impartial justice! Why, it's immeasurably
cheaper than building merely ornamental
bastiles, and then it gives the boys the benefit
of healthful travel with the elevating influence
of the accompanying officer Let's have five
or six of such roaring forces per week, and if
lt-cant be done under the present regime, let
the good citizens of Tuscarora stuff petticoat,
establish another Justiceship, and convert the
present Jail into lager-beer saloon

CANADA Too Cold FOR SITTING Bull
Father Martin, the, Catholic missionary, who
spent several weeks in Sitting Bulls camp
beyond the Canadiae line, called on General
Crook recently in Omaha, and said that the
experience of one good Winter north of the
line would cure Sig ing Bulls Indians of
their loyalty to their leader, and they then
would be glad enough to return home either
as hostiles or willing to surrender Father
Martin pronounces Sitting Bull an arrant
demagogue and in no sense leader, but
shrewd IN anticipating the wishes, plans and
schemes of his band
