to make love to her. The defendant admitted

BACK BULLION TAXES.

We find the following in the Gold Hill
News of last evening: "The business of the
back tax suits on the proceeds of the mines,
which has already caused so much wrangling,
has taken another twist in it's devious course.
District Attorney Drake went to Carson yes
terday for the purpose of examining the pub
lie records in the State Controllers Office
bearing upon the subject, when to his surprise
State Controller Hobart refused to allow him
that privilege. Mr.. Drake says that Mr.
Hobart previously agreed to make the neces-
sary abstracts of the papers, at his own cost,
for use in these suits, in consideration of
which he was to receive fifteen per cent. Of
the fees collected by the District Attorney
His sudden change of mind is a matter Of
preme Court for writ of mandamus directing
the State Controller to deliver the records
and papers above mentioned. The county
records of these matters were destroyed by
the fire two years ago, and the only source
from which the data may now be obtained is
from the records in the State Controllers
Office" This is just as it appears in the
News. There is, probably, side of this story
which shows better for Controller Hobart
than he is made to look in the foregoing
Meantime it seems to us that Mr.. Drake is
developing a considerable degree of contu-
macy in his treatment of men and things.

A NEW BELL.
of the times.

Some time ago, when the Curry Engine
Company disbanded, the members generously
donated their alarm bell to the public Gram
mar School, where it now hangs and does
service. Now this company has been reor-
ganized, and since the new organization was
effected the Currys have performed valuable
and efficient services; their ardor for combat
ing the destructive element has not cooled,
and they are always promptly upon the scenes
of confagrations, great or small, and at any
hour of the day or night, The liberality of
these fire ladies has deprived them of bell
for their engine house. They need and must
have one. The cost of an alarm bell will not
exceed $3.50, outside figures. The city, as
corporation, is too poor to buy one. What is
to be done? Why cannot an entertainment,
in the shape Of ball or concert, be gotten
up, out of which sufficient funds could be
realized to satisfy this only want of a well
conducted and efficient fire engine company?
There is any quantity of first class musical
talent floating around in this community.
Why will not some of this talent take this
matter in hand and encourage the Curry En-
CINE boys. as they ought to be? We would
suggest that some action in this direction be
taken soon.
