! : Last, Monday morning suit in at
tachment was brought by Riley Baker
by his attorneys, Macfarlane & Trim
BILE, against john Ellington Tor S2,-.
500. A writ of attachmen mt was issu-
ed and all of Ellington's property
was attached at once. Baker and
Ellington live neighbors, shout seven
miles northeast of Mexico. The
suit will be tried at the January term
of the circuit court. The: petition,
among other things, alleges that said
John Ellington did, on the. 18th of
MAY, 1880, seduce Charity Baker,
daughter of Plaintiff, Riley Baker,
said Charity Baker being under IS
years old. Charity Baker, it will be
remembered, is one of the young la
dies that testified in the Kilgore MUIR
der trial. She is "a fomely, intelli-
gent looking girl and it is deeply to
be regretted that she should have lis
tened to the fiatteIing promises which
lead to-her ruin. 1t would have been
more satisfactory to all parties, more
especially to the young gni, if this
matter could have been hushed up
and not~brought before the people in
open court but we suppose a little
picnic which occurred last Friday
made the matter somewhat public,
and Monday civil suit was instituted.
The picnic We refer to, on Friday,
was the fraternal shooting by Elling-
ton at@Georse and John Baker, broth
ers Of the unfortunate girl. Riley
BAKER, very naturally. under the cir
~cumstances, did not feel kindly to-
wards Ellington and forbid: his COM

He was met at one of the gates by
Mrs. Baker, who objected to his pro-

Ellington told her to get ont of the
way Or he would ride her. down. At
this stage Of the game John Baker
made his appearance and interfered
in favor of his mother. Ellington
pulled out his pistol and shot at him.
Although Baker was not hit, he very
wisely put air where his corporal sys-
tenn was and started for the house.

VS.. ALBION.
Another Injunction Suit and the
Albion Mine Closed Down.

1sOrOsh
The Albion mine was closed down at II
O'Clock Monday night, and yesterday every
thing was as still as death about the works.
The closing down took place at the instance
Of the Richmond Company.
1t seems that the Richmond, in the name
Of Reuben Ricksrn, has started a new In
junction suit. This last proceeding is
based upon Q mining claim called the st.
David No. 2. which stretches across the
Albion ground to the westward. The ST.
David No. Q was located by Mr.. Richard in
May Of the present year. The Albion is
ct least two years older. The technical
point, or points, involved have not been
disclosed to the reporter or the public. We
only know such facts as are above stated.
There are quite o large number OF suits
pending between these companies, all OF
which, save the last, have been transferred
to the United States Circuit Court at Car
son. 1t seems to be war to the knife from
this time on. The new case is set for
hearing before Judge Rives on September
Sd. II Is more than likely that this one
also will be taken to Carson.
We learn from one OF the surveyors that
the ore body recently cut by the Albion
was chiefly, II not wholly, on the Albion
side Of the old injunction line. The new
suit. therefore, is something entirely sep
arate from an enforcement Of the old line.
1t Is understood that Mr.. L. L. Robin
son, President Of the Albion Company,
will be up from San Francisco during the
week.

Adiusfers, Recenffan.

Mr.. Chalmers, one OF the Oldest adjust
ers, as mentioned in our issue Of yester-
day, was on Monday evening the recipient
Of a very fiattering reception by his friends,
the insurance adjusters. The reception
was Of the most cordial nature, embracing
speeches, songs and presentations-in fact
the nature and abundance Of the presents
can hardly be estimated, The large amount
Of lumber used will. we fear, cause a lull
in the building line until fresh supplies
can be had. Among his presents were,
aside from the lumber, many curious ar
ticles hardly fitted for the calling Of an
adjuster, unless he was DESTROYS OF re-
placing the goods with like kind. The
old brooms, d~ust-pans, blacking brushes,
crockery Of various kinds, and other
''bijou" articles of equal value, can hardly
be estimated. One OF the more recherche
articles was a step-ladder. Why a step
ladder wa presented can only be accounted
for on the rule Of the eternal fitness Of
things. The gentleman responded in
words Of profound wisdom. and was pro-
fuse in his supplies Of the liquid. The re-
ception will long be remembered as one Of
the most jovial in Eureka's history, and
only when admonished by friend Lock
wood Of the Parker House did these night
hawks retire to their downy beds.

How the Camp Turned Out to Arrest
BEN Tasker.

0c4
Says the Salt Lake Tribune: Silver Reef
is the worst sold community Of all the
numerous cities and towns in this paradise
Of the Saints. The other day some wag
started the report that Ben Tasker was in
the camp. There was no doubt about it,
for he had been seen. He had forgotten
the name of the man who told him SO, but
Tasker was there, all the same. The camp
became alarmed, and when the same fellow,
with hair on ends, informed the people
that the redoubtable Ben was in an old de-
serted tunnel, the excitement knew no
bounds. The entire camp turned out. and
those who could find nj ~shotguns nor re-
~volvers. were quick to find pitchforks and
most anything they could set their hands
upon. Advancing to the tunnel, they
50 surrounded it on all sides" and COM
menced to discuss the p~erilous situation.
The Sheriff was there, with his depu-
ties, but they declined to enter, preferring
10 play a freeze-out game. One man start
ed to enter, but came back with blanched
cheeks, swearing he "would be id II I
[hel go in for less than $4,000" and they
all waited round for a considerable time,
peeping ~nervously into the cavern, and all
afraid to enter. Finally, however, one
man drawer than the rest, slid in sidewise.
and at the end found a little boy which the
wag had hired to go in and sit there for q
given time. And the way those Silver
Refers disbanded and went to their homes
was q caution to a thunder storm.
In the meantime the indignant citizens
are hunting for the man who started the
report, but he, too, disappeared with the
rest Of them, and has not, up to late &C.
counts, been found.

A HOrsethief Stripped Stark.naked
Thirty Miles from Anywhere.

A white man coming through from
Phoebe or Bristol stole an Indians horse
somewhere down in the vicinity Of White
river. The Indians followed the man to
Hamilton, or the nearest constable, and
tried to have the thief arrested. But the
officer refused to do anything with the
case, saying that he could not act on In
dian testimony. The Indians were not
satiied, and resolved to nave their horse.
They followed on to the neighborhood Of
Thirty-mile Springs, and stealing q march
on the white man, they captured the mus
tang, and also gave the fellow who had
him a most unmerciful beating, finally
stripping and leaving him naked on the
plains. The horse thief had to travel two
days in the scorching sun before reaching
a place where he could procure an outfit Of
clothes. 1t is the universal verdict Of all
who are conversant with the circumstances
that the redskins served him right. The
nude n was blistered from head to foot
when he reached q habitation.

The sudden death from poison. at o.
ceola, o few weeks since, of Mr.. Joseph
Long, is still fresh in the minds Of the
readers Of the SENTINEL. Many Of our To-
cal readers will also remember Dave Al
ston. Dave has drifted back to Chicago,
and writes Sheriff Kyle as follows:
CHICAGO, August II, 1880.

to Chicago, but was going to the springs
at Salt Lake; but l met ]. Russell Jones, of
Chicago, on the train, who insisted on my
coming home with him, and l dropped in
on my folks like a surprise party.
The favor / nave to ask is this 10.
Long, who built that furnace cooper" in
Robinson District, died in Osceola last
week. In going from California to Oscola,
he went by the way Of Eureka, intending
to come home that way. He always car
ried considerable baggage with him, and
his folks would like to know whether he
did not leave the baggage in some hotel in
Eureka, intending to take it On his way
home. II it would not be too much
trouble I wish you would inquire at the
hotels, and II so, inform me. You must
remember him, at the Parker House, al
ways travelling with a large setter dog.
Perhaps you may know some one in Osce-
ola whom you could write to and get me
information as to the cause Of his sudden
death. His folks are very anxious to hear
and get his body home. II you will do
this l shall try and reciprocate in any man.

A WOman's Logic.

lrrOul tHe ClncluuhtI Enqu1rer.I
A gentleman who lives near our delight
full suburb, Mount Washington, has a very
fine potato patch that is greatly troubled
with that dreadful destroyer, the potato
bug. He has done everything and tried
everything to exterminate the bugs, but
all has proved Of no use.
A few days since q young lady friend,
daughter of a neighbor, visited his house,
and the gentleman questioned her as to
how they got rid of the bugs at her
fathers.
care you troubled much" said he,
with bugs at your placer"
"No, not much" said she.
"Well, how do you get rid of them ?
What do you do ?"
eve don't do anything at all" said she.
"Don't you use paris green ?" said he.
"No, sir, We don't" said the young lady.
"Will you please tell me, then" said the
gentleman, somewhat nettled at her re-
plies, "why you are not bothered with the
bugs on your potatoes, as I am 2"
By this time the young lady had got up
to go, and just as she tied her bonnet
strings and was going down the steps of
the porch, she turned and said
"Well, / suppose it's because we hain't
got no potatoes"
The gentleman had nothing more to say.

Albion OmciaI Letter.

The following is Captain Potts official
letter, written under date Of the. 18th inst.
Drifting to the northwest has exposed an
immense deposit of rich ore; tons are in
sight. Our work thus far has been with q
view Of prospecting, rather than of ex-
tracing. The magnitude and even fact Of
the strike has not become generally known;
o few struggling rumors are all that are
now current. Should the Richmond Com
pany seek an investigation, they will find
that we have not transgressed the lines Of
injunction. We still find some rich ore in
the Uncle Sam crosscut, and are diligently
tracking it. Nothing new in other parts
Of the mine. ]. PoTTs, Foreman.

The Salt Lake Tribune. Judge Goodwin's
paper, compliments our people and town
as follows: "our Eureka neighbors bear
up nobly under their misfortunes. On
the evening Of the day which saw their
homes swept away. and nearly . million
wiped out by the fire, 1000 Of the unfor-
tunate citizens emit to the circus to laugh
away their cares. Such people cannot be
crushed; they live on and forever. Such
sow cannot 60 out with the smoke; its
surrounding it, and as lasting as its rich
and great mines"
