LAKE BIGLER.

Referring to the attractiveness of our beau
tiful Lake beautiful when called either by it's
original and proper name of Bigler, or its ri
dieulous and meaningless name of Tahoe) the
Virginia City FootIight of Tuesday says:
II. A. Chadwick, of the International Ho-
tel. man who has visited the most celebrated
summer resorts in the United States, has just
returned from Lake Tahoe and prOuounces it,
in point of natural beauty, one of the fore
most in the land and it really seems a wonder
that it is not resorted to by tourists and pleas
ure seekers to greater degree than it is. At
this season of the year, if it were situated in
any of the Eastern States, the hotels along its
shores would be filled, and where there is one
cottage now there should be twenty. But We
believe it will all come in good time it is
more beautiful than the celebrated Lake of
Como, and in a few years large and elegant
steamers will ply from point to point, and
every cove contain q private residence, and
summer on the Lake will be to Westerners
what Long Branch, Saratoga, or the White
Mountains are to Eastern people
We understand Speaking of improvements
st the Lake,, that the owner of the property
at Yank's Landing and ad jacent, is Lucky
Baldwin, and that he contemplates erecting
there next year large and commodious hotel
with baths, and all the modern improvements
of drainage, closets, etc. Mr. Baldwin hav
ing already shown himself the most tasteful
of men in the erection and furnishing of
hotel and theater, will, doubtless, when he
fixes upon plan for a public house at the
Lake devise one which will be in all respects
first class both in structure and arrangement,
and manner of administration as well Not
anybody on the continent could better super
wise this undertaking than this same H. A
Chadwick of the International. We wish he
might take hold of such promising and ne
cessary project.

ALL ROUND THE LOT.

Taking a good look at the comedy proper
tions of the new Opera House, we are set to
thinking of the need, the absolute need of a
new;icourt house. This question has been
discussed these half dozen years; and while
everybody admits that the new building is
needed, there has been nothing done. The
old stone structure with its barn like court
rooms, its dirt and its squalOr stands monu-
ment of shiftlessness in the midst of one of
the most delightful little cities of the Pacific
Coast 1t is long way behind our possibili-
ties and ever-so-far beneath our character
and Just pretensions. By all means we
should have a new court house and jail Why
not take the sense of the people on this
proposition at the coming election?

A GRAND LARCENY CASE AT GENoA-One
of the scouting parties of the MORNING
APPEAL came into possession of the following
item yesterday at Genoa, The case will
come before Judge Edison to-day A Spaniard
named Ceriaco Estrada was arrested at
Spooner's Station on the 18th on complaint
of John w Gass, of Oroville, Butte County,
California, on a charge of grand larceny in
stealing two horses on the 10Th of March
last Mr.. Gass had traced the property
through Placer and Nevada Counties, Cali
fornia, finally discovering that they had been
sold to Spooner 4 Patton, near Glenbrook,
for 1915. Gass identified the property and
telegraphed Burnham, Sheriff of Douglas
County, to come and make the arrest, which
he did. Estrada says he bought the horses.
The examination will take place to-day, and
warrant, he will hold Estrada subject to
proper authorities from California
Justice Witherell and a jury, on yesterday,
in which the people of the State of Nevada
were plaintiffs, and Mrs. NJ A. Phillips and
Lewis Wentworth were defendants. The
defendants were charged with assault and
battery and using vulgar language. The
complaining witness, Miss frankie Miller,
and numerous others of her class, were ex-
amined in the case. Suffice it to say that
the jury returned verdict of not guilty.
District Attorney Coffin appeared for the
people and Judge Harris for the defense.

his fertile wit at work inventing something
extraordinary foran attractionat the Pioneer 5

The committee on amusements is especially
active. To initiate the ladies into the ex-
element Of innocent gaming, Bob Taylor
will inaugurate aerial ten-pins, the ball
which is to PROSTATE all but nine, more or
less, being suspended to prevent it from es-
Gaping the dear creatures. Then, besides the
usual run of dancing, swinging, lettering,
target shooting, croquet, etc, there will be
archery for the ladies and prize to the most
successful competitor. Then there is to be a
foot race for $50 side between Chapman and
Stark, under the patronage of the old boys
and, when all things are considered, it will
be seen that good days sport may be e1-

DIED. AT 1915 this morning Mr.. E. E.
Leek, resident of San Francisco, died at
the Depot hotel. Last Thursday Mr.. Leek
had twenty-five ounce tumor taken from
his groin, since which time he was thought to
have been improving, However, the seeds
of death were deeply planted, and this morn
ing his spirit took its flight. He is spoken of
IA man of exemplary character, a perfect
gentleman, warn-hearted noble man.
This evening his body will be taken to San
Francisco for interment.-R Reno Gazette, july
Is.
We have endeavored to ascertain if this be
our old friend Leek who at one time was in
the saloon business at Gold Hill and subse-
quently was a partner with Sam Gardner in
the Mint" on Commercial Street, San Fran
CISCO but nobody here seems to know. We
hope it is not he; for the Pioneers would
have left within their ranks a gap which it
would be impossible to fill, if he had left
them.

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST

copy:

night and obhge, ALT DorEN,
Gold Hill News,
This came to the editor after he had gone
homo for the day, Che being at present off
the night shift Not being at all acquainted
with Brace, never having seen him in fact, we
did nothing about the matter, thinking that
the Sheriff could find his man better than we
could were We ever 80 familiar with the &C
cused Yesterday morning we learned that
Brace had visited the APPEAL office several
times during Tuesday evening, and note
from him let us know of his visit. Also we
believe he was in town yesterday. We do
not know whether he has been arrested or
not Last evenings Ners explains matters
bY stating that Brace, after being shown some
polite attentions by Mr. Doten, was mean
enough TO stcslthily enter that office during
Its proprietor's absence and steal valuable
specimen of silver, which he sold. We sus-
pect that Rrace's bad doings are attributable
to prolonged spree for it has come to our
ears that he has been good deal the worse

Congressional.
Inter Ocean, Nov.


Though the Republicans have gained in
nearly every Northern State, yet an exam.
ination Of the returns shows that the
gain is not sufficient 10 overcome the op.
position majority in the house. For the
first time, therefore in sixteen years the
Democrats will control both branches Of
the incoming Congress. .a
So for as reported, we gain in the north
ern States sixteen Congressman, but we
lose in the south enough to very much
decrease this advantage. In South Caro-
lima there seems to be Republican loss
Of three; IN Missouri, three; in North
Csrolins, one; in Louisiana, one; in
one. II the Ninth District Of
Missouri Ford, Greenbacker, seems ahead
which Is a Democratic loss of one.
The present Congress stands: Repub),.
cans, 1876; Democrats, 15l.
IN the October elections the Demo rats
made q net gain of five Congressman
which, added to the 157, would givo them
1852. On Tuesday they made gain of
seven in the south, making 1870, but they
suffered q loss Counting al opposing can.
didates elected of eighteen In other States
which, deducted, leaves them 15l, ma
jority of nine over the combined opposi-
tton, This estimate may be changed by
later returns somewhat, but not material.
ly- 1t Is not yet certain that all the Re
publicans are defeated in South Carolina,
and it is possible that we may gain one
more in New Jersey, and possibly two
more IN districts OF other States yet in
doubt, but it is hardly possible over
come the Democratic majority. One
truth which ccnfronts the Republican
Congressional committee and the admin.
stratlon is the palpable one that, by even
slight effort to protect the Republicans Of
the South, the House would have had
fair working Republican majority. But
bulldozing was permitted to do its work,
and We are therefore thrown into the
hands of the enemy.
