On Sat-

to his office, he found on the steps
leading 70 his house the following

"February the 2nd 1877

days to Leave this place, then if you
don't Leave ! will fix you for Cofe0
you mind what this sails"
BY Monday evening last the wfit
ing and uttering Of tlis above Was
traced 70 one Edward u. Stone, an
illicit whiskey dealer in the neigh56r]
hood of the Brookston Tannery, who
was accordingly arrested early TGes-
day morning, and brought before Juss
tice Reid at Brookston, who, after ex-
animation, held the said Stone 10 de-
fault of $500 bail, to appear before
the Court Of Quarter Sessions to an
swer the above charge, and also the
charge ofselling liquors, &c, without
license.
Stone was intrusted for safe keeping
in the hands of three deputy consta-
bles to be held until this "wednesday
morning when he was to have been
conveyed to the Tionesta Jail.
With the consent of the constable
he (Stone) was allowed to go to his
shanty under guard to get some
clothes. About midnight the prison.
er arose, dressed himself, took down
his rifle. Here the stories conflict
one party saying he went out to dis
charge the gun, and the other party
say he said ale guessed he would &c
out and take little hunt before hc
left for Tionesta."
At any rate when he reached tht
road he found what is familiarly call
ed leg.bail.
We understand q reward of S7I
has been offered for his capture anC
return to Mr.. Allen, Constable o

BRooKsToN, PA, Feb. 7, 1877.
We had the pleasure Of seeing Ed
ward d. Stone depart from here this
morning to take his residence along
with Sheriff Shawkey, at Tionesta. 1t
seems during Thursday p. NJ, Mr..
Frank w. More, clerk in Mr.. Ora.
hams Store got clue as to Stones
whereabouts, but wisely kept close
mouth, and after dark, he with his
father, w. j. More, left for the woods
quietly, and in due course of time
arrived in Brookston with Stone in
their possession, and handed him over
to the custody of Constable Allen.
They found him about two miles from
here, at hunters shanty (gun and
alb, and Frank made spring and
caught him. You probably know he
is in Tionesta Jail.

vides that the owner or manager of

thirty acres in extent, under cultiva-
ton. for ell damages sustained by tres
pass of such animals between the LIST
of May and 1st of October of each year

amount of damages for each snbse-
quent offense or trespsss. It also pro-
vides that the owner of such lands,
may take up and safely keep the tres
passing animals, or as many Of them
as may be necessary to cover the dam
ages he may have sustained. at the ex-
pense Of their owner, for The period of
thirty days. provided that he shall no
tify the owner, il known. within two

to Go SO. IL before the expiration Of
thirty days the owner claims the an
imals taken up. be shall, upon paying
the damages and expense, have resti-

ton of thirty days, che owner of the
animals does not pay the damages.
F.. each may choose disinterested person
to determine the amount, and in the
event of the owner of the animals not
appearing the Justice of the Pence
shall select the persons to appraise the
damages. The bill will donbtless meet
the approval of every person engaged
In farming or raising hay. but will be
opposed by cattle men and Transfers.
The policy of making the law appli-
cable to isolated patches of not more
than thirty acres of farming or mead
ow land, is questionable. but that val.

while crops are growing will scarcely
be disputed The bill would be more
equitable. if instead of thirty acres its
provisions were limited to at least

TEE ELKO MURDER.
Further par.icuIars of the AFFAIR.

Further Particulars of the Affair.
From the Independent. we learn
further details of the murder of mon
tana Charlie" at EIko, partial account
of which appeared in the SILVER
STATE yesterday. Phe murdered man s
name was Charles Silverstein, native
Of Sacramento, aged % years A sister
aud two brothers of the deceased are
supposed to be living in San Francisco.
According to the post norton examina-
ton made by Or. Huntington, the fatal
shot passed through the left arm, be-
tween the elbow and shoulder, and pur-
suing q slightly downward course
struck the third AID fourth ribs with
out penetrating, and passing through
the seventh rib, fracturipg the latter
in its course. 1t then perforated the
lower lobe of the left lung and passed
through the left side of the heart
thence across the spinal column falling
into the right pleural sac, whore it
was found. The Ooroner's inquest re-
suited in q verdict that Silverssein
came to his death by pistol shot fred
by Robert Crosier. Crosier was arrested
and jealousy is supposed to have been
the cause OF the shooting, the woman s
name being Molliie Costello, one of
the Elko frail ones.

failed. at last accounts,
THE GALLONS WAS ERECTED
And arrangements completed for carry

evidence against Larkin was mainly
circumstaptial, and he protested his in
nocence of the crime for which, in all
probability, he has, ere this reaches
the public. suffered death. We believe
that Barkin's execution is the second
that has taken place in Storey County.

The Turkish Victory.

The Russian army in Bulgaria has
met with q serious reverse. The Right
Wing, whose advance was checked by
a superior force at Plevns short time
ago, has returned to the attack, and,
after two days of terrible fighting, has
been compelled to retreat. Although
there was ample time to bring forward
reinforcements, the Russian command
er seems to have renewed the assault
with an inferior force. Forty thousand
Russians were hurled against earth
works defended by fifty thousand
Turks. The assault was impetuous;
tive lines of redoubts were carried by
storm under heavy artillery fire; the
Infantry fought with the same stolid
resolution which aroused Napoleon's
admiration at Berodino; and in the
end they were Overpowered and driven
from the field. The carnage was aw-
full. The assailants left nearly third
of their force upon the field, and under
cover of darkness the ashi-Bazouks
fell npOu the wounded and butchered
them. Osman's victory is complete.
He is the commander of the camp at
W Widdin, who has been chatting for
months under the Fabian tactics of
Abdul Kerim. While the Russians
were massing their forces in Roumania
he suggested flank attack upon Kala-
fat, similar to the movement which
Omar executed with such brilliant sue
cess In 1853. but his counsel was not
needed at headquarters. When the
crisis came, he was as prudent and
wary as the veteran commander whose
tactics he had despised. He chose his
ground and used the spade. He
brought to the front every available
man aud gun. He stationed his men
in the trenches and waited for the ene-
my to attack him. He has dealt the
Russians staggering blow.
