An Indian War Cloud.
Rsno Journal, Jan. II.


We have interviewed several ia regard
to the report that U. s. Marshal Ash
had ordered twenty-five cavalrymen to
drive the fishermen and whisky sellers
from the Indian Reservation ut Pyramid
Lake. The troops had not arrived. as
at first announced, but were expected
yesterday morning at 9 O'Clock. The
real cause Of the presence OF the troops
seems to he the custom Of selling whis.
Ky to the Indians aud other lawlessness
practiced by white men. The Indians
are very restless, and do not like the
way Affairs are being carried on.
Yesterday morning Nachsz. Captain
Jack aud another Pluto Chief
went West. They refused to be inter-
viewed, aud would give no satisfaction
as TO their destination. but knowing
ones think they are going to have a ''big
talk" with General Mcdowell. in regard
to the Pyramid matter. and also to in.
form him that the Bannoeks and Snakes
are making elaborate preparations to 60
on the war-path in the Spring. Nachez
has received authentic information that
such Is the intention, and being friendly
to the whites. he doubtless IL taking his
trip to inform Mcdowell. who has care
fully cultivated friendly relations with
Nachez. This chief has been dissatisfied
with Indian affairs for some time. but

Justice Of the Peace Stewart wriRht's

with Q case which Is Of great interest TO
all printers and men who deal In print.
ers' supplies. The history OF the action
Ia briefly this : Suit having been brought
against Colonel II. @. Shaw. proprietor
OF the Pacific LIFE. and Judgment given
for the plaintiff. . Sherif's deputy was
put in charge Of the property. consisting
Of type. imposing stones. cases and
forms. Colonel Shaw brought suit Of
rsplsvin against the Sheriff, upon the
ground that he was q practical printer.
and that the articles levied upon were
the implements necessary for him to
earn his livelihood. Colonel Shaw was
represented by Messrs. Cornwall and
Roberts, and the defendant by Mr..
Reynolds. The witnesses called by the
plaintiff. all practical printers. testified
that the articles levied upon wero abso-
lutely necessary for the plaintiff TO work
at his trade. The defense made little
effort to controvsrt their testimony. but
ct its conclusion moved for q non.suit
on the ground that printers materials
were not Implements or tools within the
statute meaning Of the term. Judge
Wright decided that the evident intent
Of the law was that whatever was neces
sary to q a for the earning Of his liv.
ing must be exempt from attachment,
and that he should therefore hold that
the articles levied upon were 30 exempt.
Judgment was given for the plaintiff.
The interesting points in the case are
that 1t 10 the first OF tho kind ever tried
