THE, NOTORIOUS CAPT. PAYNE,
[Winnemucca Silver state.l

l"AAiiehucea oliver otate.
The notorious Captain Payne, whose
exploits as the invader of Indian Terri.
tory now fill the Eastern papers, is no
less parsonage than Cap. Payne, who
figured conspicuously in this county and
Elko some years ago, in connection with
the no less Susie Raper. Thomas Raper,
Susie's husband, was an early settler in
Paradise Valley, and in 1864 or 1866 he
was attacked by Indians and severely
wounded, while his brother-in. law, Joe
Warfeld, was killed Rapar was taken
to Dun Glen, where military post was
then established, and at that place his
wife Susie became acquainted with Cap
tain Payne, who. was in command Of a
company of Nevada volunteers. From
Dun Glen the Rapers removed to Union
vile, where the wounded mar, whose
arm was shattered by the rifles or arrows
OF the indians, was treated. From
Unionville they started to California with
teamster, who kindly consented to carry
them through. Before they reached Cali
fornia Susie owned the team and had the
teamster in her debt. She did not re-
main long in California, and she next ap-
peared on the stage in Winnemucca, and
afterwards at Carlin, where she was
known as the "wickedest woman" on
the coast. The Virginia Enterprise says:
"Payne was in White Pine in 1869,
and in that year Susie ranged in
Humboldt and Elko counties, in
male clothes as stage-robber, stage
driver and cattle thief. The Sheriff got
after her, but she was an expert with
lariat and lasooed a deputy. The stern
minions of. the law finally ran her down,
and the first thing Susie knew she was
an inmate of the Elko County Jail.
Sympathy for her sex finally set her
free, and Captain Payne, who had failed
to make things work in White Pine,
went to Elko, made Susie understand
that he was kindred spirit, and they
contracted Morganatic marriage, or
something of that sort, and the two
skipped ont Of the confnes of civilization.
They first went to Wyoming thence to
New Ms1ise, is and now Susie. is defying
the National authorities and making
Captain Payne stand guard over the
wickiup with shotgun. It looks as if
the troops were raising tempest in tea
pot, All that is necessary is to arrest or
WlPayne and capture Susie and put her
in woman's clothes, and provide her with
a civilized, good-looking msn to occupy
her time in courting her and giving her
mustangs to ride. This accomplished,
and Susie Raper Payne may be tanned
and the incipient rebellion she and her
cher ami are endeavoring to inaugurate
will be crushed out"

TOO MUCH GUsH AND TOO LIT
TIE MAN.


The Minneapolis papers have been
teeming with sensationals for the past few
weeks about the discovery of female
dressed in gentleman's attire But a
short time ago this same individual who
went by the effeminate name of Willie
A. Belmont, was in the Black Hills and
made his or her headquarters in the
sacred precincts of Lead City He or
she was quite masher. Dressed in
faultless style, with full male suit, Bel
mont was the leader in society. He Lad
money to command and made love to all
the girls, the envy Of the other fellows
Belmont claimed to be a nephew of the
famous Augustus B., and stated that the
said Willie A. would soon inherit for
tune. This being known, or rather told,
among the young ladies' in the Black
Hills, they were all bent on captivating
the handsome--even pretty--young heir
We did not learn of any suspicion being
aroused by the Lead people as to the ac-
tions or appearance Of this young gent"
He, however, succeeded in making very
favorable impressions on all, and actually
got into the good graces of all who met
him. Some time ago Belmont went out
from the Hills on the Bismarck coach and
stopped for awhile at Minneapolis, where
circumstances peculiar led to the arrest
Probably nothing would have been known
of the disguise but for the masher's gush-
ing ways. After being in the city some
time Relmont went to- engage board at
Mrs. Brackets. The landlady had a
winsome daughter with whom the massher
soon fell in love. By the way, the old
lady put Belmont in room with good
looking young man, and they got along
well till the trunk of the latter was
riAed. Before that Belmont had so
played on the feelings of Mrs. Brackett
as to get the loan Of $50. On the sus.
picion by the room mate that his prop
erty had been stolen, detective was put
on the track and Belmont was arrested
examined and discovered to be real fe-
male-a woman. As that manner of dis
guising sex is breach of law as well as
decency the prisoner was taken to jail
and turned over to that custodian till a
certain fine be imposed and collected.
Said culprit having come by means easy,
spent it freely, and consequently when
taken up was just out of money. Several
of the citizens of Minneapolis proposed
to raise the fine and if that was all the
charge against the prisoner, to let her of
easy. But, on inquiry, it was ascer
tanned she had been playing little conf
dence game, and it was concluded to lei
her serve out her sentence and then give
her the funds subscribed to clear out
from the city. Thus Has the self-styled
nephew of Mr.. Belmont come to early
grief, and instead of "nephew" must
be somebody's darling Or niece. .--[Blacl

A gentleman made up his mind that he
would give his wife pleasant surprise
by spending the evening at home. After
supper he settled himself down for cozy
time in the bosom of his family. He had
no more than comfortably fixed himself
when his wife abruptly asked him if his
friends didn't want him any longer. Then
his mother-in-law asked him if he had
exhausted his credit. The servant asked
him if he was i'll. One of the neighbors
wanted to know if he had any trouble
and was afraid of the law. All of
which occurred in twenty minutes, for in
exactly half an hour he was beyond
questioning range inhis club.

A brakeman ON the Maine Central
freight train, by the name of Starrett, is
deaf and dumb. He is about twenty
four years old, and his home is in Burn
ham. For number of years past he has
been employed on the train, and is now
considered one of the best brakemen on
the road. If there is any trouble with
any part of the train Starrett is one of
the first to discover it, and he is always
at his post when the brakes are wanted.
How he can tell just when the brakes are
required is mystery, but he never fails.
A SINGULAR wILL.--In the London
Probate Registry is a will dated l79l, by
which the testator left $50 a year to be

Der of Irish people, not exceeding twenty
who may visit the cemetery on the ami
versary of his death. Each is to go with
a penknife and stout stick, and the
whiskey is to be distributed in half-pint
doses. The object is thus explained by
the testator: KNOWING what / know Of
the Irish character, my conviction is that
with these materials given they will not

terminated, this neighborhood, at least,
may perhaps be colonized- by civil and
