PLAYING FOR PRECIOUS STAKES.

On Wednesday evening two rather anti
quated bluods of Genoa were engaged in a
limited poker game at one of the players
residence; the game was very limited as
the resources Of the contestants were in a
similar condition. The wives Of the men
looked on and both appeared to take as
much interest in the game their husbands.
The visitor soon got away with all of the
hosts loose change. The next thing that
was put up as IA stake was horse, then
three cows were put up, and the visitors
luck still clung 20 him like ivy to an oak.
During all this time a whisky bottle was
not infrequently consulted, and before the
pretty tight. 1t appears that the wife Of
the host and the visitor had long ago
formed mutual but silent admiration for
each other, and as the host had nothing more
to play for the visitor suggested that they put
up their respective wives as stakes. The host
was just full and desperate enough to acqul-
esce in anything, 50 he consented and even
his wife did not make any noteworthy objec-
tions to the arrangement. The visitors wife,
however, kicked like a frantic mule, and stat
ed in terms more forcble than expressive that
she would be no party to such an Infamous
proposition. Her husband, to soothe her ex-
cited frame of mind, told her that it was all
in fun, and not to create such stir about
nothing. The game played, and the
hosts i'll luck followed him to the end. The
losers wife went over to the winner and atfec
tonately placing her arms about his neck,
kissed him. and remarked that the result of the
game had rendered her inexpressibly happy.
The words had scarcely escaped her lips
when the winners wife got her fingers into
her hair and made things quite lively for the
"inexpressibly happy woman for little
while At last the husbands separated the
belligerent females. After much parleying
upon the subject the loser said that he did
not care much for the wife he had lost, and if
the winners wife was not agreeable to the ex-
change, the winner could take his wife all the
same, providing the horses and cows were re-
turned to him. The winners wife objected
to the exchange, and the cattle were turned
over to the loser. 1t was not stated whether
The latters wife had gone off with the former;
put this much is known, the winners wife
will soon proceed to her homo in the East and
apply for legal separation from her tickle |
husband.

A WITNESS FOR BLAIR's PROSECUTION
James Edmonds, the burglar confined in our
Jail, says that he met Chris Blair at Bodie a
couple of months ago, and that the latter pro-
posed to him to 20 to Nevada County for the
purpose of waylaying Cummings, the muir
dered banker, knowing that he frequently
travelled in the stage with considerable gold
Edmonds says that Blair had had that venture
in his minds eye for a long while. Our
Sheriff has advised the Nevada County Gu
thorities of this fact, and Emonds may be
taken there on behalf of the prosecution.
A WONDERFUL FIND.-A miner working a
little south of Wellingtons Station found on
Tuesday afternoon, at depth of 50 feet, skull
resembling in every particular that of mans,
with the exception that horn three inches
long grew out of either side of the head.
The skull is well formed, measuring . inches,
with high, broad forehead. The question
arises, how did that skull find its way 80 feet
underground There were no other bones
found with it.

CHRIS. BLAIR.


|
The conviction that the notorious convlc t.
Chris Blair, is guilty of the Nevada stage
robbery, and murder of Cummings, the
banker, is gaining stronger ground day by
day. His voluntary surrender is regarded as
remarkably singular, as he could not have
known that suspicion rested on him or that the
authorities were after him. His name had
| not appeared in the papers, nor had the
police given publicity to the belief that he
| was one of the murderers. The theory pre-
| walls that he found himself hemmed in with
no chance to escape, so he concluded it wise
to play the innocent dodge and seek the pro-
lection of the law. The facts against him,
however, are 50 strong that he will undoubt-
edly be indicted for the crime. A Grass
Valley paper gives the following additional
particulars of his surrender: "a man who is
held at the station house at Marysville says
that Blair proposed to him to rob the
Eureka stage some days before the attempt
was successfully made. On the Saturday
night previous to the murder Blair was in
Nevada City. On the following day he was
in North Bloomfield, and tried to obtain a
shot-gu Later in the day he was at the
Kennebec House, near Lake City, on the
road toward Nevada. On the day of the
murder he was seen III the vicinity where
it was committed. In addition to these
circumstances is the fact that Blair Is
criminal, whose specially has been highway
robbery, he having served two terms in San
Quentin for crimes of that character. To
still further strengthen the chain Of circum-
stances against him, Louis Seibert, of Ne
vada City, recognized Blair as u man he
met On the road. having in his posses
sion shotgun. as he (Seibert) was
going toward North Bloomfield, on the
day of the murder. Sebert recognized
Blair instantly at the Court House, on Mon
day night, when he brought in by the
officers AS did also another man who met
him on the same road either on the same day
or the day preceding the murder. From al!
these circumstances it is evident that appear
ances are much against Blair, and unless he |
can satisfactorily account for his where
.hnuts from Monday, the day Of the murder, |
until the Saturday following, when he sur
rendered to Sheriff Mccoy, at Marysville,
here can be no other conclusion reached
han that the right man has been secured.
The officers have no doubt on the subject,
md in short time after the commission Of
he crime fixed upon Blair and Oregon
smith as the guilty parties The latter is
rlil at large, but he too is an ex convict,
whose face is somewhat familiar to the officers
# the law in various parts of the State it is
believed that he cannot long remain at large
nless ne should be fortunate enough to get
beyond the boundaries of the State"

IMPORTANT WARMING TO POLITICIANS
In explanation of the political illusions In MS
address to the Encampmcnt of the Grand Army OF
the Republic General McQuade said III was neces.
sary to show the veterans throughout the state OF
New York that our Order is not political machine.
At the same time do not misuEderstand us. While
the Grand Army of the Republic is non-partisan It's
individual members will act as citizens ana not
ignore the political of the day They will make
themselve felt citizens without compromising
the order. AS l once told republican who COM
planned of the numerous Confederate brigadiers in
Congress the best way for you to do is to oppose
them with Union brigadiers. We beat them
before ana can do it again. Now. all this
talk has done great good. We must
impress the people of the North with the services
rendered by our men, and these men entitled to
consideration. Let the people of the North under
stand henceorth and let the politicians understand
that old soldiers in the capacity of citizens
will vote for veterans in preference to civilians, re-
gardless of party politics. IT the Grand Army of the
Republic, through its individul Il members exercises
such an influence so be it, as ar organization does
nothing politically whatever We're republican
and resident of Ohio I would vote for General
Ewing. This is about the sum and substance of
what you call the soldiers vote."
