San Francisco Detectives LEFT I'm
the Lurch.

49,
n Lurch.
From Mr.. T. b. Duboise, who arrived
in Eureka last night from the Osceola
| mines, we learned that there was a rumor
Of a strange transaction in a northerly
direction from that camp. The story was
started as a secret, but it spread with great
rapidity, and was quite freely talked Of
upon Mr.. Duboise's departure.
About a week ago two men came TO
O. V. Jobnson's stock ranch, about 80
or 40 miles south from the Bonnemort
Brothers ranch, on the old overland stage
road, and which is situated close upon the
edge Of the desert. These men were on
foot. and had numerous implements of
death, and ZONE OF the trappings for
horseback exercise johnson was inclined
TO LOOK with suspicion upon their advent,
but the gentlemen were prepared to remove
all suspicion by producing the proper docu-
ments to show that they were officers Of
the law from California. Their first want
was grub and then horses.
The story all comes from Mr.. Johnson,
and he saws ii was hard work to get his
little foundation. That the two were Off
GERS there is no doubt, and they were ON
the fresh trail OF some fugitive from JUS
ticc when they rode away from the tele-
graph station on Deep Greek, two weeks
ago to-day.
As summed Up by johnson, the whole
thing amounts to this That these two Of
ficers have been on the hunt of some run
away from California justice dt might
have been Tom Lawton); they completely
left civilization, when they struck off the
road on Deep Creek, and took IA southeast
eriy direction into the mountains they
were successful in getting their man from
n cabin wherein he, with his horse, were
stopping; it was O very long and ~fatiguing
ride to try and make the return trip to
Deep Greek. but it was decided to do so,
and, after an all night march with their
captivcs, they got more or less careless and
the first thing they knew their horses
dropped with the cords OF their legs cut
off, and Mr.. Captive was riding down a
canyon on his own horse at a break-neck
pace. They didn't even have time to shoot,
ere he was out Of sight around a point be
was supposed TO be securely tied to his
saddle, and especial care had been taken
In searching the man and his horses ac-
coutrements, to be sure that there was
nothing whereby he could liberate himself.
1t was a tolerabie neat job, anyhow, thus
leaving the Frisco s'hounds Of the law
sitting out in the sagebrush, thirty or forty
miles from sany place." and with horses
40 useless that they had to kill them. They
informed johnson that they had cashed
their ontfit near the scene Of the escape,
and with the fresh horses intended to take
up the scent and never let up or let go
again. They also informed him that it was
TO their interest for him TO keep his bacon-
trap as quiet as possible for a few weeks;
but he started the bali a-rolling almost inn
mediately, il the dates given US were any
where near correct.

THE LAG HILLS.

fFrom the Daily Pioneer Of Oct. 5th.I
Jack Gilmer's little boy is quite sick at
the WEIGH House.
An exchange trusts that the road agency
business will soon be numbered among the
lost arts"
The crack OF the bull -whacker's whip il
now heard on the streets during the day,
snd the crack Of his revolver at night.
Sturgis City has now Eve saloons, FIVE
stores and three saw mills. Business is
reported as brisk, and buildings are going
up on every hand.
The Smuggler mine, near Rockerville,
owned hv John Allen and others, has q
tunnel in 105 feet, through q good, fine
looking body Of ement.
A daily mail has been commenced be-
tween Rapid City and Rockerville. This is a
move in the ri ht direction, and will be Of
great convent nee to the citizens Of those
prosperous towns.
Deadwood whisky will dull the percep-
tons Of the average citizen, but to the pill
grim it is q delusion and a snare. This was
exemplihed last evening by q highly re-
spec able gentleman, accompanied by two
friends, who entered our sanctum and
drawing up chairs 10 our editorial table or
dered oysters and a bottle Of wine for
three, of the devil, who had just brought
in a proof.
Buffalo Bills generosity and kindness Of
heart has been excmplified lately by his
treatment Of Mike Gardner, the boy who
was accidentally wounded in the theater in
Baltimore. He gave him 500, a new suit
Of clothes. and will bring him West, to his
ranch near he North Platte. where he is to
have a paid position. There are many
boys in the country who would be
willing TO suffer a like accident to be paid
for the slight inconvenience in so liberal a
manner.
The Cheyenne Sa1, in speaking of the
recent capture Of roa | agents, says Brown
had a special escort to this city in the per-
son Of j. L. Jelm, who states that his pris-
oner has confessed to having been eng 'ged
in the Canyon Springs robbery Of Saturday
last, as also the Finn robbery, which oc-
Cured early in July. Brown is about
thirty or thirty-five years old, and is quite
we'll known to some Of our citizens. The
other robber, G. H. Boris, or Burris. is
expected to arrive from the north to-day"

A little Girl Dro,xuea.

Last Saturday, says the Virginia Chron-
icle Of the 9th, a little girl named Harvey,
about IL years Of age, was drowned at
the Twin Lakes near Hope Valley. Her
parents recently arrived there from sonoma
county, California, ON a camping trip.
About 5 O'Clock in the evening, while her
father and mother were preparing supper,
the little girl got into a boat and rowed out
into the middle of tho lake. Her mother
went in search Of her and called to her to
row TO shore. Tho little girl was startled
by her mothers voice. and turning around
suddenly. upset the skiff and fell into the
water, and before she could be rescued was
drowned. When our informant left the
body had not been recovered.

There was an immense throng on Main
street, last evening, to see Oddly walk seven
miles in n hour. He accomplished the
distance in So minutes and is seconds,
over a rather rough road, rendered so by
building material, which has, in fact, occu-
pied the greater portion Of our streets for
months past. Johnny walked nobly, not
withstanding the fact that he was crowded
considerably by the enthusiastic crowd.

R;u. Jacket.

The Elko Independent says: Smith Van
Dreilen, who has recently returned from
the northern part Of the county, reports
the developments in the Blue Jacket mine
as something extraordinary. Our old
friend Mercy has stayed with that section
under many adverse circumstances, and
the present brilliant prospects arc only a
fitting reward for his indomitable energy
and perseverance. That the Blue jacket
is n Of the very best aud largest mines
in Eastern Nevada we are now firmly con-
vinced, and the fact will become generally
known in time. No effort TO bring the
property into notoriety has ever been
made, it being owned almost exclusively
by Mr.. Blythe, who has carried the weight

A young butcher, who has Just landed
in this country from Boston, and has
started in business for himself, bought
some cattle a few weeks ago, up along the
line Of the railroad. Last Sunday he went
up on the passenger train, to look at his
stock and pick ont a few Of the finest for
his market. TIT warm weather had been
sufficiently hot TO cause the butcher to re-
move his coat. and when he stepped off the
train, at the little station, displaying so
much of a glossy white shirt, the thousand
or two cattle grazing in that region went, as
only Texas cottle can go, when they see a
billed shirt. About all our friend saw
was a cloud of dust in the wake OF the
departing herds and the cowboys talked
Of lyncbiug him before the return train
came along. He says the bcevcs in this
country are entirely different from tae
stock offered for sale at the Brighton mar

a nat ~Prsaacament.

4 man hired q horse at S~weeney's
stables yesterday, and rode up to the X
X mine. Considerably under the in
fuence Of liquor, he got the idea into his
head that he had hired a circus animal.
and started to lead him out on the trestle
work that leads from the shaft to the ore
dump. When at the highest point from
the ground a plank broke and the horse
was suspended between the heavens and
the earth, and some thirty or forty feet
from the latter. Ropes were procured and
the horse was lowered some distance. and
dropped the rest, fortunately getting. of
with q few bruises and scratches.

FIREr rrREr
but Mere smOke-Ainf0st n Panic
nnsong the BeIl-goers.

nmong the BeIl-soers.
About 10:15 o'clock last night, when
half the town was at the ball, an alarm OF
fire was raised, and the smoke proved to
be issuing from the Eureka Bakery, adj
joining the Opera House. There was q
tremendous stampede. and no little excite
ment for five or ten minutes after the first
tap Of the bell; the ladies, and everybody.
in fact, didn't stop for cheeks, in their
haste to get upon the street; but quiet was
very soon restored. for it proved to be but
the burning out of the bakery chimney.
The cloud Of smoke that drifted from that
direction over the business portion Of town
was enough to chill the heart for a moment,
but the fire boys were on hand in short
order, and soon the word of :" fire
all OUT was passed along, and the
assurance was a reilef, indeed.
Some Of the nobbiest dressed citizens, who
are always on hand in times Of danger, but
who we're, unfortunately, rugged in their
best last night at the time of the fire, got
fearfully saturated as they we're standing
in front Of the open over when the hose
was turned down the blazing chimney.
Out darted water, smoke, SCOT and fire,
covering those in front IN a twinkling.
There were a few adjectives turned loose.
but every one felt gratified that the fire re-
suited in no worse damage.
The cause Of the fire was owing to the
~laziness or carelessness of the baker en-
ployed at the Eureka Bakery. Instead of
cleaning ont the flue to the chimney with a
long iron scraper, which was always stand
ing ready in the bakery, for that purpose.
he threw some Hour into the oven, in
which was a hot fire, and the result was
that the quick blaze from the flour set fire
to the woodwork adjoining tho chimney.
Perhaps it was fortunate for our town
that so many were in attendance at the
bali. as they rushed to the rescue ~instanter.

At half-past l o'clock this morning,
says the Virginia sChronicle." W. w.
Malloy, a Gold Hill miner, was killed by a
cave on the $500 feet level of the Belcher
mine. Malloy was at work at the end'of
the drift which had been run twenty feet
without timbering. Suddenly those in the
the vicinity heard a dull thud, which
made the ground tremble and sent a cloud
Of dust out Of the drift. The debris was
at once cleared away aud the body taken
ont. Malloy must have been instantly
killed.
