TRAMPS IN DISGUISE.

Says the Eureka Sentinel of Wednesday:
For the past three or four days, a couple of
people, man and wife, so called, have visited
a number Of private residences, representing
themselves as destitute, and in want of means
to get to their friends in California. Their
object was to solicit money to get away, and
they have been quite successful, receiving
many coin donations. Yesterday they called
at the house of Mr.. Watson, and that gen
tleman noticed that the woman had
peculiarly masculine appearance, He at
tempted to engage her i'll conversation, but
she was dumb, not answering any of his
questions, Approaching nearer, and looking
into her face, which, by the way, she kept
shaded with sun bonnet he discovered that
she was a phenomenal female-an incipient
bearded wolnan-as the stubbed growth of
what evidently promised to be a luxuriant
whisker was plainly to be seen. Mr.. Watson
was convinced that the person was a man
dressed in womans clothes, and proceeded to
make further investigations, when the in
dividual broke way and decamped down the
street, followed by his or her companion. 1t
is now surmised that they were two tramps,
and that one OF them has assumed female
clothing, for the purpose of more easily ex-
citing the synpathies of the charitable 1t
is probable that this exposure will stop their
little game; at least it will put citizens on
their guard and cut short the beggars' field of
operations

SELLING AMMUNITION TO THE IN
DAMS

Says the Eureka Leader Of Wednesday:
We are informed that the Indians now in
this vicinity are making purchases of large
amounts of powder and shot, an unusua! pro-
ceeding on their part, especially at this time
OF the year, and it is surnised that they are
buying it for the use of the hostiles and sup
plying the red devils now at war with anunu
milton. A gentleman called our attention to
it yesterday, and also informed US that it was
against the law. We are inclined to the belief
that there is nothing in it, the distance of the
Shoshones from their Northern brethren and
the difficulty they would have i'll reaching
them, almost precluding the possibility of
such traffic being carried on; but our in
formant was so indignant and energetic, and
seemed to think the sale was such crying
evil, that We make the subject public.

HOW A WHITE MAN FOUGHT THREE.
CHINAMEN.

The Sacramento Record Union Of Tuesday
relates the following:
Very many Of our readers are acquainted
with William Thewell proprietor of a ranch
adjoining the city on the north-a very
agreeable and industrious gentleman. Yes
terlay afternoon he was engaged III blowing
about 25O yards from the house, and about
p. NJ. he returned to the latter to get a
drink. What Was his surprise to find three
Cinnamon in the building-onc, large
fellow whom he knew because of his being
the partner of Chinalnan to whom he had
leased some land last year, from which, how
ever, the high water drove him away, while
the other two we're young and much smaller.
Thelwell saw at glance that they were not
there for any good, and, entering his bed
room he felt beneath his pillow for Il revolver
which no kept there, but soE2e one had re-
moved it. He then entered another room to
get another pistol, and as he picked it up
the three Cinnamon jumped him. Tn
fortunately the pistol unloaded, and
Thelwell. finding himself unarmed, seized
the large Chinaman, threw him, and gave
him as much punishment as he could, in
GLIDING, he thinks, broken nose-but mean
while the other two Ceestials were on top of
him, pulnmeling him with whatever they
could get hold Of The fight lasted long
time, and until sll parties were nearly ex
hausted The two young Cinnamon then
broke and ran, and the other followed them
as soon as he could free himself from Mr..
Thelwell The latter then seized Reming
ton shotgun, loaded with No. shot, and
tired both charges at him as he ran, at a dis
TANGO of about thirty five yards. He is con-
fdent that he hit him, and at that distance
the shot should do good service. The fellow,
Just after the firing, jumped in among the
brush and got away. Mr.. Thelwell, who had
captured the thiefs hat and shoes, brought
them to town and gave them to the police as
clue to assist them in working up the case.
Although he pluckily insisted that he was not
much hurt, it is evident that he will be sore
for many days from the numerous bruises
about his head and body. His house after
the fight presented wretched spectacle, much
of the furniture beng broken, and everything
turned topsy -turvy. The pistol stolen
from beneath his pillow he found in a sack,
together with a clock and other articles. 1t is
believed that they had been advised of his
collecting money for rent a day or two before,
and expected to be able to get it and all the
small articles of value in the house while he
vas absent, but his unexpected return de-
feated their design,

THE INDIAN WAR.

Y /, evident that the troops and their Iu-
dan Lies arc too much for the hostile Ban
1,ocks Following is the latest from the front
Tn .Umatilla Indians under Forsythe
strln':- the hostile camp last night about two
Iui!ls and half from Stark ranch, on the
Day road, killing seventeen warriors and
capturing twenty-five women and children
aud sixty or seventy head of horses. The
h6stieS are much doRaoralized, and the cap
tive s',nws report that the hosties are break
ing up into small bands, with the evident
intention OF fleeing to the Weiser, and max
irg their way to the Baunock or Buffalo
country. Last evening the Nez Perez scouts
Unier Lieutenant Williams. accompanied by
white scouts belonging to Colonel Sanfords
command, went into camp near AnthOny's
ranch, on North Powder, and while sitting
around their camp FIRE, the Indians and
whites together, all dressed in citizens
clothes, named Haines, Captain of a
yolnuSoer company, fred two shots into the
SCOTS from tree about sixty yards distance
killing one of the Nez Perce scouts and
pOrtally wOunding another. The man either
,nistook the party of scouts for hostiles or
thought to distinguish himself by killing an
Indian OF some kind. The Nez Forces were
I1ucd incensed at Haines, and it was with
much difficulty that the white scouts and
Lieutenant Williams could restrain them from
killing him at once This is an unfortunate
affair, as the Indians We're rendering very
efficient service, and now they will scarcely
contine longer in the service 1t is feared
ths will also drive the Umatillas from the
held. At last accounts Haines was under
guard and probably will be brought to Colonel
SGnSOr,ts camp.

Commenting upon the malefactious Of Arty
Brace, the Reno Gazette says;
1t is not pleasant task to expose the short
colnings of a fellow journalist, but such man
as Brace simply disgraces the profession and
should be kicked out Of it. He is only fit TO
be an Indian agent. The only excuse that he
can offer is that his brain was affected by Gold
Hill whiskey.

Might Associated Press Report.I

A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
II is believed that Count Schouvalofi
succeeded In convincing the emperor
that 1t is to Russia's interest to concede
to Europe most of the demands form
ulated by England. The assembling
ofa congress appears consequently as
sured, despite the difficulties which
have arisen al Constantinople concern
ing the surrender of fortresses.
A dispatch from Pera In the second
edition of to days Times says, al
though the advance of the Russians IL
four Kilometres nearer to Constantine
pie, 1t Is declared void of Significance.
The movements have, nevertheless,
increased uneasiness. The Russians
have advanced fifteen thousand troops
from Kollikrati to Kotohuk, and have
made similar forward movement
from Siluria to Kollikrati and other
corresponding advances from the rear
towards the front. All these move
ments, which are reported on good au-
thority, tend to mass the Russians
closer to Constantinople.

TO the higher court, where the case

but the defendant, Preston, was DON.

II Ia said, was very great at the time OF
tho trial. The evidence against him
was solely clroumstantial. He proved
such facts IN conoluslvely established
his innocence, and among other things
the most Intimate terms OF friendship
with the murdered family, No motive
was shown why he should turn demon
In his old age, with large family OF

Preston ia OF n good family. He Ia
honorably connected In this county,
and Ia related to the Prestons OF Ken,
lucky and Virginia, whose names are
among the best In the country.
Messrs Hurt and Smith, Of this
city, represented the defendants In the
case. They have had q world OF cir
cumstantial evidence to contend
against, and should the defendant es-
cape entirely, the handling OF tho
case will be as remarkable IN the case
