n A SNOW storm occurred last week which
lasted ut Intervals aor about three days.
The amount of precipitation was general all
over the country. On the mountains it was
snow, in the valleys rain, Or snow which
melted as fast as it fell. 1t is estimated
about two feet of snow fell at this place.
This storm is everything for the country, as
it insures a good season of water in most 40
c%alities, both for mining and farming. It
was also of great benefit to the range, the
ground which was very dry is now well sat
urated and grass will shoot forward will
new life. Its value is in%calculable.

WEDNESDAY last, the date of the Ref
eree's sale of the Eldorado ditch, proved a
day of unusual excitement to the people of
our quiet little town. The property went
high being knocked down to John Com
masky at $4,000. In the settleing up, the
purchaser was not satisfied with the title
Referee was able to give, but feared further
trouble since the published notice of order
and decree of sale was dated April I'D,
when decree was not issued until April oath.
| Besides there arose some discrepancy in re-
card to costs, whereupon Mr.. Commasky
refused to pay for the property. Referee
L. j. Fleming, declared his intentions to
sell the property again, but was prevented
from SO doing by Mr.. Commasky, who was
armed. and threatened him with violence if
he proceeded. Our sheriff then armed him
self and returned to the Court House to dis
charge his duty. Then ensued fifteen min
utes of intense interest. There was consid-
cradle sparring with cooked revolvers.
Once the sheriff pulled down and a bad cap
or the revolver being only half cooked. is
all that gave Mr.. Commasky his present
lease of life. There was considerable dodg-
ing behind door facings, and on one occa-
sion a third party was made a buckler OF.
The sheriff called the sale q second time,
but as no one cared to venture upon a scene
where an inturiated man flourished a revol-
vel. in defiance to an officer of the law,
there was no bidders, and as the sheriff dig
not wish to take the lie of his felloWman,
and did not consider it safe to attempt his
arrest lest he should be forced to in self
defence, he adjourned the sale until next
day. Mr.. Commasky is a good citizen. and
we have no doubt was conscientious in his
belief that he was not being fairly dealt
with but this can ia no wise justify him in
resisting the course of the law, which is our
only safeguard to liberty, and to which ev-
erv citizen must submit, be it right or
wrong. 1t was an extraordinary proceed
mo. and one of the few Of such aggravating
: circumstances that does not result in blood
shed. and had it not been for the extreme
%lenieney of our sheriff, or his lack of conf
dence in his revolver after it once missed
fire. there is no telling how it might have
, ended. Mr.. Comasky was subsequently ar
, rested and fined $50 tor drawing a deadly
. weapon and bound over in the sun of 81 ,N(

SURVEYORS Col. DeLacy, G. A. Kellogg
and party, who have been working in the
MUscleshell region for the past two months,
returned last week all looking hale and
hearty. They encountered some severe
storms while out, but on the whole only
lost about ten days in the field. Their
surveys extended as far east as the mouth
ofSwimming Woman creek, 50 miles east
of Martinsdale, and south from the Muscle
she'll river, and Is miles to the Big Cooley.
This section is quite broken, but the entire
party agree with one accord that it is the
finest stock region they ever beheld. The
grass there is very luxuriant, and is a month
in advance of the Missouri or Smith river
valleys. There are dells and coves with
grassy reefs and ridges, forming wind
breaks, coolies and washouts, forming nat.
