the elected repaired to lunch stand near by,
procured 4 carving knife, and returned to the
lodging house, where he re-opened the row
with Baxter The latter undertook once
more to put Church ont, when c. drew his
knife and stabbed Baxter in the abdomen,
infcting a dangerous wound. Wonder if
this is A. P. Church, the printer, we'll known
here and on the COmstock2 He was at one
time sober and an industrious man, was
part owner in the Nevada City Democrat,
having for partners George |. Lammon and
the Rolfe Brothers. But he contracted IL
regular ways over on this side, and became
dissipated and generally worthless. For what
he once was he retained some friends here
about, who will be sorry to hear of the last
trouble he has probably got into,

CARSON THEATER - SARATOGA

Last night the theater was filled in all parts
with an appre cjative audience to see Towards
comedy of g Saratoga, which, as we have had
occasion to remark before, is one of the best
of American comedies. 1t brought out the
full force of this excellent company, given
each of the members fine opportunity to do
the best of acting. The lateness of the hour
coupled with the fact that most of our read
ers had seen " Saratoga" played here before,
makes it unnecessary either to describe the
play or to individualize as to its representa-
ton.
THE COLLECTORS The committee on col
lections for the State Agricultural Society,
consisting of Messrs. Hill, Rinkel and Pant

The Chief of the BannOcks,

Buffalo Horn, the leader of the Ban
nocks, acted as scout under General
Howard from Camas Prairie to Henry
Lake, when he left on account of the
threatening cold, returning to Fort Hall
Buffalo Horn is not the hereditary Chief
of the Bannock Indians, but is merely
leader among the wild warriors, and is
looked up to by them as their Captain.
These young bucks have a supreme con-
tempt for the real Chief, whom they
speak of sneeringly as an old woman.
Buffalo Horn is small, gracefully built
Indian, with beautiful eyes, not unlike
cross between an eagles and an ante
lope's. One side of his long hair is
bound round with threads of brown bark,
which, resembling buffalo horn, is
probably the occasion of his name. He
speaks very little English, but seems to
enjoy the society of whites. Frontiers
men say the Bannocks are not very
brave, as a class, and can not "hold a,
candle' to the Nez Perces as fighters.
They are closely connected with the
Shoshones and Flutes, by marital and
other ties, and would probably have
their alliance should their war as
sumo serious experimentation

SECRETARY SHERMAN says he has not
decided to announce the resumption OF
specie payments in advance of January
1, 1879, the time fixed by law. He says,
however, resumption may come before
that time by natural causes, or when the
premium on specie shall disappear,
which point we are now approaching. 1t
is the duty of the Government, he adds,
to employ all legitimate means to pro-
duce such result. The coin balance in
the Treasury is about $500, OC0, 900, and
steadily increasing. As there is no idea
the balance will fall below the present
figure, this, with the present low pre-
MUM of gold, makes it not unlikely
that resumption will occur before JAN
uary l.
