from X. G. Dunn, agent for Wells, Fargo Il

recent killing of stage robber, as mentioned
in last Saturdays Bee:
READING, September 8, 1878.
}. B Hume, Sacramento-Dear Sir: | did
not have time to write particulars of the stage
robbery last night in fact, thought that
you would come up, Yesterday morning,
about $50 o'clock, as the stage was coming
up Scott Mountain, and within 400 yards of
the top, the team was on walk, Reynolds
was lnsiue and no one was with the driver,
when three men stepped out and told them
to halt. Two men stepped forward, one on
each side OF the leaders, and one came up TO
the driver, covered him with six-shooter,
and told him to throw up lis hands. He put
his whip and lines i'll his right hand and raised
1t, and asked the rrh' to drop his pistol as
he lad no arms. II, .'a is to give Reynolds
chance. The robbie, ..r ned his pistol and
Reynolds shot him i'll the . east, killing him
instantly, his pistol going OF as he fell. With
this the others commenced firing, and the
team started. They fired several shots. The
team went about seventy-fve yards and the
ilCd hCCic4 iCli having GU q ldldl
shot i'll the side. They got down (there was
only one passenger) and took one of the lead
ers and put it i'll and went on; came down on
this side of the mountain and telegraphed to
Yreka and other places w L. Smith was at
Trinity Centre and he went back and tool,
the body 60 Callahan's. They found his pis-
tol, and he had giant powder cartridge and
some fuse in his pocket.
Since writing the above the stage has come

POISONED.

The Reno Journal of yesterday morning
narrates as follows how a prominent citi-
zen of that place imperiled his own life:
Our much esteemed fellow townsman, VIM
Duck, yesterday took dose of morphine to
induce sleep. He had an attack of cholera
morbus and was unable to rest, and in order
to sleep took what ne supposed to be an ordi-
nary dose Of the drug Not being used 10
taking it, he made a mistake and took such q
quantity that his life is in great danger, He
went to his home across the river about II
o clock and retired to his room. Nothing was
thought of this as he was in the habit of
spending much of his time there alone. At
about o'clock his sister in-law went to call
him and found him in the bed in a senseless
condition. She gave the alarm, and Drs.
Bergman and Bishop were Immediately sum-
moned and did all known to the profession to
bring him out of his stupor. Injections, rub
bings, stimuants, i'll fact everything was tried
to save him. Fifteen or twenty men were on
hand to walk him around and did all they
could to interest him, but the morphine had
such hold on him that they could not rouse
him, and at this writing the chances Of his
recovery 90 o'clock) are very small indeed.
We fear that by the time this reaches our
readers VIM. Duck will be no more. We
hope for the best, but our last advices give us
but little hope.

PLEADS INNoCENCR.-Of the man Jewell
who stands accused of an attempt to rape a
little girl in Reno the Journal of yesterday
says
This man, who is in prison for attempting
10 rape a little girl day before yesterday, de-
MES that he has any such idea as the one
charged against him. His story is that he had
been drinking heavily for a day or two and
was drunk at the time; that he did not en-
tiee the little girl into the entry, but was
merely sitting there looking at her book, when
Mr.. Parish rushed up him and struck him.
In fact he denies any criminal intent what
ever. All this of course is very well for him,
but in view of the Overw helming evidence
against him it will not hold good. Still it
will probably be hard to make a case against
him. The very publicity of the place would
indicate that the man was either drunk or
crazy, and therefore hardly accountable for
the deed. Yet we think it best to make an
example of this jewel in order that the i'm
pecunious tramps will have warning not to
commit such indiscretions. Parents of
little girls will bear us out in this opinion.
There has been decidedly to much indecent !
exposure" and kindred offensesin Reno to con-
tinue to wink at any more. An example or
two is needed by way of warning.

JUVENILE HORSE-THIEVES.

The Reno Gazette of Friday evening tells
the following story of youthful depravity
From gentleman just in from Clover Val
ley, we learn the full particulars of little
excitement created in Indian and Clover Val
legs nearly week ago, arising out of dar-
ing robbery by boy Of II summers, his ar
rest, escape and subsequent re-capture. jeff
Dunlap lives with his mother and youngest
brother on farm in Indian Valley. jeff Is
now II, but since the age of II he has shown
ruling desire to steal, and even to destroy
what he could not carry away. his little
brother, aged about II years, is now following
Jeffs example. But to the circumstances of
the case in hand: Several days ago jeff stola
horse from a Spaniard, rode down the vale
ley, entered a cabin, stole a Henry rifle,
buffalo robe and a pair Of blankets. His little
brother joined him, and they sped on their
way. jeff has two respectable, industrious
brothers, who own and farm ranch IN Clover
Valley. They heard Of the robbery and i'm
mediately started in pursuit of their young
brothers. These they soon overlook, and re
turned everything but the horse, which they
knew nothing Of JEFF rode seven or eight
miles further, and fearing that he might be
overtaken, turned his horse loose and stole
another. The Sheriff of Plumas County got
on the track of the reckless young thief, and
overhauling him, brought him back to Clover.
On the evening of his capture jeff was con-
fined in private house, but during the even
ing made some excuse for stepping out. Now,
thought he, is the time to give leg bail The
Sheriff was soon on his track, but did not
overtake the young culprit until he had
reached the junction house, % mile north
of Reno. jeff is now in the Plumas County
Jail at Quincy. He declares that he will MUIR
der the Sheriff, and do all possible harm to
all who had a hand in his capture. We have
here one of those singular cases Of partial in
sanity. Such cases are seldom regarded IN
their true light, yet form distinct and we'll
defined class among medical jurists. That
these persons are insane is proved by many
circumstances and facts. However, this
doesn't release them from all responsibility.
They are the most dangerous class i'll com
munity. They have limited caution, are
good planners and are very bold, unscrupu-
lous and persistent. Perpetual confinement
in an asylum or a penitentiary is the best
remedy, and their death can only prove re-
lief to society.

RATTLLSNAkE JACK.

OF a notorious scamp who has been nabbed
by the clutches of the law, the SjJrer State OF
Thursday says:
News reached here yesterday that ''Rattle-
snake Jack" who desires to be known as a
great Indian fighter and seal litter, with two
or three kindred spirits, had stolen several
head of horses from Pete French and other
settlers in this county between Stein Noun
tain and Camp Harvey. The gang separated
somewhere north of here, one party with
some of the stolen horses going, it supposed,
i'll the direction of Tuscarora, and Jack COM
ing this way. He evaded Winnemucca and
disposed of three or four of the stolen horses
to cattle men near Rye Patch, and then took
the cars for Sacramento. ''Montana" got on
his track recovered some of the horses, and
telegraphed the officers at Sacramento to ar
rest Jack, who was taken into custody the
moment he stepped off the cars.
"Rattesnake Jack" made his first appear
ance here about year ago He claims to be
nephew of the celebrated Kit Carson, and
pretands to understand dozen Indian dialects.
He was at Camp Harvey during the late In
dian troubles, and was, we believe, arrested
at that post for horse stealing. He has four or
FIVE Indian scalps, but persons now here who
knew him i'll Kansas two years ago, will bet
their last dime that he never killed the buck
or squaw off whom they were taken
