Plenty of snow all along the road $

a letter from Jay Gould to the effect
that the Union Pacific railroad COM
pany Is willing to allow the $3.50, 900 in
bonds voted the Colorado Central, to be

A romantic episode occurred at
Deadwood a few days since. Two
brothers who separated at home, New
Haven, Connecticut, in 1852, and had
neither seen nor correspondent with
each other since, met as strangers, en-
tered into argument over a mining trou-
BILE, and nearly came to blows, when
their identity and kinship was estab-
lished. They shook hands. took a drink
and were reconciled.
There are seventeen thieves, murder
ers and robbers in confinement at Lar
annie, who are awaiting trial at the
term Of court which convenes on
next Monday. Sheriff Boswell, Of AL
bany county, is a whole team at catch.
ing rogues. More than half of these
he has nipped since he went into office,
and he was the masterpiece in captur.
ing five of the seventeen about a week
before he was sworn in as sheriff.
The Reno Journal says that hereto
fore all persons who have been accused
of selling whiskey to the Indians have
been tried in the justice court, and
sentenced mildly; but hereafter the
United States authorities will take
charge Of these suits, and in case
Of conviction, will give them aAlong
term in the state prison. The amount
Of drunkenness among the Indians is
alarming, and has compelled the atten-
tion of the United States authorities.
The Colorado Central train was de-
tained three hours yesterday by the
