1t is hardly necessary for us to call
the attention of the ball-going public
to the fact that Mountain Lodge, No.
u, L. o. o. f., will give a grand ami
versary ball this evening, at Mendes'
Hall. The names of the gentlemen
composing the different committees is
"A guarantee of Its success, and they
have made every arrangement tor the
pleasure and enjoyment of their
guests. All of the details have been
carefully attended TO, and the Ia
dies will find that their comfort has
been especially considered. The hall
is new and commodious, and will be
well lighted. The ceiling is high, and
the walls are as white as snow and
tastefully ornamented with pictures
and decorations. The floor is smooth
and the CLOAK and toilet rooms are
spacious and neat. The ventilation is
ample, and so arranged that the room
al be Kept at any desired tempera-
ture withoutintroducing cold draughts

that in the confusion of the change
they may have overlooked some o.
those who are entitled to al invitation,
and that if these parties will apply tC

lect will be remedied. Parties attend,

to the hall is on Buel street, at which
point guests will be- received by thu

Bob Hamilton.

Bob Hamilton. a former saloon
keeper of this place, has returned af-
ter an absence OF five or six years.
Bob had some trouble here la the
early days and was alleged to have
skedaddled with a purse containing
$4,000 belonging to Billy Evans. He
was convicted on this charge and SEN
fenced to six years in the penitentiary.
He served out his full term less the
credits tn which he was entitled for
good behavior. Bob gave us q vivid
picture Of the horrors of prison life and
says that he never wants any more OF
1t in his. lie seems greatly broken
and changed from his long confine-
ment, though he has a great many ac-
quaintances in Eureka who recognized
him on sight. He says he has returned
to stay, and intends TO do all in his
power to live down the disgrace attach
ing to his name by reason OF his i'm
prisonment. 1t is nothing more than
right that he should be encouraged TO
redeem himself. He says the SENT
MEL did him great injustice AT the time
OF his arrest, and fearing that II may
have done so, we now feel inclined,
after his long punishment, to give him
a kind word and a good send-off, to
balance the account,

Shooting at Tuscarora.

We extract the following item from
the Elko Independent, of last Mondays
"a quarrel over a game of cards in a
saloon, at ~Tuscarora, Friday night, re-
suited in the shooting of a man named
Adams, by Patsy Hogan, formerly of
this place. The ball passed through
Adams arm a little below the shoulder
and lodged in his side. The wounded
man was taken to the Office of DIR.
Belts, where the ball was extracted.
The wound, though severe, was not
considered dangerous. The par.icu-
lars are as follows: Adams, who is
said to be a hard case, with an alias or
two, being loser in a game of cards
with Hogan, became abusive, and
finally drew a pistol for Hogan's bene.
tit, %whereupon "A scutile IN which the
latter appears to have got the advan-
tage, as, after receiving a lick or two,
Adams started to run, when Hogan
sent two "whistler" balls after him
one taking effect as stated.

Petty Larceny Thieves.

These small-souled gentry are Q
newing their depredations, and are
making it unsafe for anyone to leave
small articles lying around loose, or
their room doors unlocked. The
Huntingdon Valley stable was broken
into on Tuesday night, and three sacks
of barley, saddle, and several arti-
cles of clothing stolen. On the same
night a room vas entered in Aliens
lodging house, and some blankets,
clothing, etc., removed. A man with
petty larceny instincts is the meanest
of Gods created creatures, and only fiji

stole n Team.

Tom Short arrived in Eureka yes
terday and swore out a warrant against
one Charles Austin, charging him
with stealing four horses and a wagon.
The property had been loaned to Aus
tin, who drove the team to Eureka and
traded Off a portion OF it to Barney
McKernan, and then lit out with the
rig for parts unknown. Constable
Livingstone and Short started in pur-
suit, and as they have found the route
that the fellow took, will undoubtedly
succeed in o~verhauling him and
bringing him back to justice.

In This So?

Inc Ward Refer learns by a private
iet'er from Cherry Creek, that James
III. Matter dropped dead In the street
AZ Virginia City, on the 18th instant.
we think there must be a mistake
soout this. 1t Is our custom to read
we storey county papers pretty closely
snu we do no remember having seer
any such announcement. Mr.. Matter
was an old resident Of White Pine
Eounty, and at the last election was the
democratic candidate for the ~shrievalty
=. tnat county. During the last few
months he has been looking after some
mining business in the western part OF
sne state. He was extensively known
1n the Comstock, and we hardly think
no could have dropped of without
soune mention Of the fact in the Com
stock papers.
