SOMETHING OF THE HAMMOCK WAR

We suspect that the var strength of the
Bannock Indians has been greatly overrated,
AT all events they have not shown much
Prowess as warriors. They act more like a
pack of knavish horse thieves than men of
| mettle. General Howard seems to have ar
fact is Gen. Conner whipped these Bannocks
most numerically at the time Of his winter
attack upon them, on Bear River. Once
thoroughly trounced, and the redskins are
wary of encounters with anything like an
adequate force of white men.
This view, that the Bannocks are less
numerous than we have been lately accustom-
cd to regard them, is borne out by the follow
ing comments upon the situation which We
find in the SiJrer State of Thursday:
A correspondent at McDermit writes that
old Wlnnemucca and his Piutes, who were
sent from that Post to scout i'll the Stein
Mountain country, have returned. They re-
port having seen only friendly Indians west
Of White Horse, in the country lately infested
with hostiles Who are those friendly In
dams and what are they doing in locality
driven from their homes, and their property
stolen or destroyed} 1t is probable that
Chief Egau and his followers, who were rep
resented by Jerry the Interpreter as being
opposed to war at the council held at Barren
Valley recently, and because of that opposi-
ton held as prisoners by the hostiles have
escaped and are now iii Stein Mountain :
Wmnemuccaand his scouts ought to be closely
questioned relative to those friendly In
dians," which they saw at Stein Mountain.
If they do not belong to Egan's band they
are certainly hostiles, probably separated
from the main force at the time Colonel Der
nard fought them near Warm Springs. No
Indians who were friendly to the whites all
through the present campaign will venture
into the Stein Mountain country without
passes from the military or settlers. They
understand the situation and will not run the
risk OF being mistaken for hostiles Winnie
mucca's report requires an explanation, as
the friendly Indians which he saw at Stein
Mountain may be part of the band which
devastated that country three weeks ago,
who are now trying to escape the consequences
by assuming friendship.

A RICa PAUPER. The Eureka Leader tells
"f ali opulent pauper as follows:
One Of the recent inmates of the County
Hospital, now discharged, was financially
fixed, he having OH several occasions during
his soj0urn in that Institution exhibited a
purse containing at least $500 in gold, and
hoasting to his companions that he had prop
srty valued at $1,000, Inquiries since made
Prove thar he told the truth. Being Of an

taken with stroke of sickness he concluded
to allow she county to see him through, and

The GRAND PRIZE ASSESSMENT. Says tn

The GRAND PRIZE ASSESSMENT. Says the
Tuscarora Times Rerie,c of Wednesday:
1t has come. We have been expecting it
and dreading it for long time and it has
come at last Yesterday the unwelcome in
tolligence reached here that the Grand Prize
Company had levied an assessment OF one
dollar per share upon the stock of that COM
pany Well, it couldn't be avoided probably.
The new works have cost large expenditure
of money, as is the yase with all such mining
improvements, and all that stock holders can
do is to grin and bear the needed assessment
as well as they can. Everybody here and
elsewhere who kr.nrs anything about the
Grand Prize has ~ tied faith in its speedy
resumption OF b1!'cI production this fall, and
if men have 10 advance 4 lew dollars to get
the machinery in working condition again,
they may reasonably expect a rich return
from " old reliable" in the not distant future.

An UGLY RUMoR. The Alpine !Sig',el Of
Monday has the following mention OF all
ugly rumor:
It was reported here day before ys,ster'iay
that Mr. o. c. Wade and his family, oonsist-

left their home near Woodfords on tie oath
of last month, and started with team for
Oregon, had all been murdered by the Piute
Indians some where in the viciuitg yi Goose
Lake. But as we see no account in any Of
