A EBH WAY To GET CHICKENS CHEAP -
For some time past a certain family in this
city has been greatly annoyed by neighbor'
chickens which have been making it practice
to loaf about the portico of the first named
family's residence and running into then
yard, scratching up plants and generally try
ing to excel in the matter of proving them
selves to be unmitigated nuisances. Several
times the owner of the feathery tribe had
been warned that in the event of his not
making some effort to con6ue the chickens
within the boundaries of his own premises, his
flock would gradually grow beautifully less.
Whether the proprietor OF the fowls adopted
any measures to keep them at home or not
or whether the suggestions of his neighbors
alarmed him at all, cannot be stated; but suf
fee it to say, that the nuisance was not abated.
About two weeks ago young gentleman
called at the residence of the family who were
being so greatly annoyed, and in the course
Of conversation, the chicken matter sprang up.
After listening to the recital of his friends
grievances, he laughed and said that if they
could be remedied, besides procuring all the
chickens required ON their table without cost
ing cent The family we're anxious to learn
the young mans plan, and so expressed them
selves "Well," said he, ''if these chickens
persist in coming about your PRESSES, gel
your son to stick kernel of corn on a small
fish hook, the latter attached to thin fishing
line, and when the chickens get around throw
the bated hook in their neighborhood and one
of them will soon gobble up the corn, hook
and line; then the captured bird Can be east
drawn into the house without the utterance o,
evon . faint cackle on its part. Repeat the
experiment ~ often as necessary and you will
soon be rid of the pests. The young mans
plan has been adopted, and the head of the
family referred to is surprised at the lightness
Of his butcher bill during the past week or ten
days.
We would, by all means, advise the ladies |
Of Carson City and the surrounding neighbor
hood to call upon Mrs. j. w. Bagley. at the |
northeast corner of Curry and Proctor streets,
if they wish to supply themselves with any |
of the latest styles that are now introduced
by the leaders of the bo,s-to,t in the fashion
able worlds of Paris, London, New York and
San Francisco.
SKArEs-R Fred Brooks, he of the vari-
sty store opposite The Post office, has just re-
ceived large assortment of first class club
and other skates. They are of the latest
styles and improvements, and he invites the
skating public TO call and examine them. Ii

1t will be remembered by the readers of
this journal that on the night of the 18th of
September of this year the office of Wells,
Fargo & Co.. at Benton, was feloniously en-
tered through window and two bars of bull
ion, valued at s1s6OO, deposited there for
shipment, stolen from the premises. 1t
was at first supposed that the robbery was
committed by some rather suspicious looking
and acting Msxicans, who we're in the camp
at that time; but after closely watching and
tracking them the impressions of the author
tiles i'll that respect were dispelled. For
long while the officers of the law were at
loss to know in what direction to look for
new clue. At length, however, they tracked
the robbery to couple of Cinnamon, yet
they could fssten nothing upon them, and no
arrests were made, A man by the name of
D. r. Lewis, who had at one time beer
constable and deputy sheriff in that county,
continued to watch the suspected Cinnamon,
and few days ago he learned that they had
engaged Chinese vegetab bic peddler from
here, who sells his stuff in the southern eoun-
try, to take them in his wagon to Carson.
Lewis hearing of this, came to Carson and
reported his suspicious to Fl. L. Tickner, the
resident agent of Wells, Fargo & Co. He
arrived here early on Thursday morning, and
Immediately after making his report, MIR.
Tickner gave his information to Sheriff Swift,
who started in pursuit of the robbers. When
ne got to Genoa he was joined by Sheriff
Burnham of Doug las county. Thence the
Two sherifs went to the Twelve mile House,
where they learned that the Chinese vegeta-
Die pedder, with his much-wanted load of
live freight, had taken the Plaoervlle road
instead Of the road to Carson. The officers
resumed their pursuit OF the robbers, who
we're overtsken in Lake Valley. The China
men were very much frightened, but made
60 resistance, Upon searching the wagon
che stolen bullion, weighing about $50 pounds
was found. The vegetable peddler, who was
innocent in the matter, being in no way i'm
piicated in the robbery, was permitted to de- |
part in peace, while the two thieves we're |
brought to this city last night and taken t"
the Jail, where they are now confined and
will remain until wanted elsewhere.
Sheriffs Swift and Burnham did quick and
good work, and are entitled to honorable
recognition for their excellent professional
services.
