We recently published an account of a
horse-thief having been captured down
on the Muddy by Robt. Nelson and VIM.
Morgan, officers from Ward. When these
officers arrived at the Muddy their
finances had been exhausted and they
did not possess enough coin to pay for
meal. The settlers there not only gave
them their provisions, but also captured
the thief for them. During their short
stay in that locality they run bills to the
amount OF $50. for which Justice Logan
went security on those officers assuring
him that they would send the money to
pay the bills Immediately upon their re-
turn to Ward. 1t has been some four
weeks since this occurred and as yet no
money has been received with which to
liquidate their Indebtedness, and unless
money is not there at an early day Mr..
Logan, who supports his family by
ranching, will have to pay these bills, and
he can ill-afford to do so, as he has
large familyto provide for and expended
out OF his own pocket some twenty odd
dollars in securing the arrest of the
thief. Perhaps these worthy officers
consider themselves justified in not pay
ing their bills simply because they got on
a jamboree and permitted their prisoner
to escape.
In TowN.-Pat McKearney arrived in
Phoebe on Sunday night last from the
Lemhi country, Oregon. He is an old
resident of Phoebe and is the owner of
the cattle which were in charge Of Han
ley, who was killed on the Muddy some
weeks since. He left for that place Tues.
day to take charge of his property. He
says that T. r. Butler, formerly of this
place, is Superintendent Of three mines
in that country, and that he made three
trips during the late Indian war, but
luckily escaped from having his scalp
taken. The mines are both silver and
gold, and for six months in the year the
only way to get in there is on snow
shoes.
ST. JOINS DAY.-Friday next, Decem-
Der 9th, is st. Johns Day, day cele.
brated by the Masonic Order wherever it
