Messrs. Thomas Shields, C. Spencer
and A. ?. Buist, the parties charged
with stealing a horse and buggy from
Mr.. SchOnberg, were honorably dis
charged by Parish Judge Maher at
the conclusion of the preliminary ex-
animation last Tuesday. Mr.. Robert
s. Smith testified that he met tAe &C.
cused in New Orleans aud was asked
by them to tell Mr.. Schonberg that
they had been compelled to make a
longer trip than they originally in
tended; that they were going some
distance below the city and would
return in few days. This message
was delivered ito Mr.. Schonberg and
also to his brother and being salts
fed with the evidence Oh this point,
the Judge brought the case to close
by discharging the prisoners. The
accused have suffered great humilia-
ton through their arrest and impris-
onment, and their feelings were par
ticularly outraged by the estentatious
manner in which they were paraded
through the streets handeuffed but
Judge Maher counseled them to con-
slider that share of the blame might
attach to themselves and that dam
age suit against Mr.. Schonberg would
not come with good grace nnder the
circumstances. The Judge thinks the
parties were guilty of indiscretion in
going further and staying away longer
than they said they would, and that
Mr.. Sehonberg would not have incur
red the trouble and expense which he
did do unless he had believed himself
in danger of losing his property. The
accused have been completely vindi-
Gated by their honorable discharge,
aud it is probable they will rest con
tent with this and forego the threat
ened damage suit.

SALMON RIVER



An old Salt Laker in camp on Gordon
creek, Round valley, Idaho, 1.-THE Salmon
river mines) writes to the Salt Lake Tri-
bune, under date of June 28th, as follows
II have examined the Bay Horse and
Yankee Fork mines and am ready to leave.
The mines Of Bay Horse have rich ore and
plenty of ton the surface, but whether
the veins go down or not no one can tell
as no sinking has been done. The Rams
horn is taking ore from the surface and
shipping to Salt Lake. The ore runs from
$40 to 81, 800 per on. The Keystone is
traceable for about 1000 feet, and is from
one to two feet wide, and belongs to Owen
Long. There is no work done on it. Win
namuck has an extension which looks
well. Many other prospects look we'll, but
the whole country is located, and there is
any and found $500 to $3.50 ore, but we
worked out the mine in -four days.
l have inst returned from Yankee Fork,
35 miles distant. The mines are huge, but,
with the exception of Morton's mine, moth
ing more than surface work is being done.
The Custer has a large body of ore ON the
surface, which is at least 60 feet in width,
ore that will sample $500 to $500 per ton,
but no sinking has been done. OF the I'm
known and Custer two-thirds have been
bonded for 500, 900.
Every inch of the country in Yankee
Fork has been run over and located, SO
that there is no show for an outsider. In
an old location recently there was found a
vein of gold ore which the finder reduced
in q hand mortar in four days with a result
of $500 in gold. Then it pinched out.
Salt Lakers all say it is a good country,
but there is nothing here for us.
Bennett & Penwel1, ~freighters, started
out with 81 tons Of Custer, Norton and
Ramshorn ore, but turned back on ac-
count OF the Indians. Ranchers and fam
lies all around us are moving to Chalis and
Salmon City for protection. No troubles
or ~depredations nave yet been committed,
but the old settlers fear the Indians.
We leave our wagon and commence
packing tomorrow. We will strike for the
mountains regardless of trails, to be gone
six weeks or two months, and if the reds
get us Of course we will stay.

for the first ten days of the current month.
Ophir spurted yesterday, closing at $50.
Several other North-end stocks were a shade

The final shipment from the Consolidated

time, and not enough to cover expenses,
unless there has been a marked reduction
in the working force.
The Union Consolidated Mining Com

THE Ran NUISANCE.
How the Railroad Towns are
Work

There is no denying the fact, says the
Truckee Republican, that this evil in
creases with each successive month, and
promises shortly to becomes nuisance that
will be difficult TO abate. In our own
town there has been, within the past two
weeks, a larger fol ce of these vagabonds
thar ever copyrighted at any one time
heretofore, and we have taken particular
pains to ascertain whether there was har-
mony and unanimity Of purpose existing
between them as a body, or whether each
took pains to provide for themselves only.
There were seated on the depot porch at
different times a circle of these wretches,
and also under a car was seen a gang, all
partaking of food, which each had con-
tributed by going from house to house
begging. A friend, who watched one Of
the party on River street, saw him go first
to one house and procure crackers, to an
other and procure bread, and so along,
till six diff rent places were visited, and
a large supply obtained. They nave no
particular plans in view, but riding from
station to station, they assist one another
and live by the charity of duped families.
Some of them are decently clothed, others
are ragged and dirty; but be this as it may,
their purposes are the same, and they are
unworthy of assistance. There is work to
be obtained, so that this cry can no longer
be resorted to in their appeal, and as far
as the heart-ren ling stories recited go,
there is not one in five hundred that is

The Virginia Chronicle Of the 18th has
the following: when r. T. Brace, the
journalistic Jeremy Diddler, left the Com
stock day before yesterday, Mr.. r. NJ. Dag
gett, of the Enterprise, missed an elegant
ly carved meerschaum pipe, valued in the
neighborhood of 500. Last evening Chief
McCourt found the pipe at COINS pawn
shop, where a man answering to Braces
description had left it as security for a
loan of four dollars. Mr.. Daggett is now
in possession of his pipe, and swears by
the beak of the stuffed owl over his table
that he will never take a full nights rest
until Brace languishes in a cell. People
are generally disposed to take a charitable
view of Braces thieveries. A few drinks
of the two-bit whisky sold in Gold Hill,
they say, would make almost any man
steal.
