The effects of the Incorporate articles
about the Raymond Il Ely mine, which
have in the last few issues appeared in
the Phoebe RECORD, has done both the
company and the mine great HARM All
the thirtyday drafts were paid Saturday
last, and we understand that the collec-
ton of this assessment will wipe out all
Indebtedness but the mortgage. We hope
the RECORD will be more circumspect in
the future in its language, and give the
Raymond C Ely Directors a liberal assist
ance in Strengthening out present embar
easements, which have been brought
about solely through their efforts to make
the mine successful proposition for it's
stockholders. IS. +. Alta.
As to the articles which have appeared
in the RECORD, and which the Alta
terms Incorporate, we certainly deny
their being such, and when they were
published, it was for the sole purpose of
letting the Directors know, whom we
thought perhaps were not aware of the
fact, how outrageous and utterly incom.
petent the affairs of the company were
managed by the party in charge Of the
works in Pioche in the hope of pointing
out to them the evil and assisting them in
Strengthening out the affairs of the CON-
pany, and whether the articles published
in the RECORD has worked injury to the
company or not, there has been nothing
published but the truth, which the whole
community of Phoebe will vouch for, and
our articles were very temperate too.
However we are pleased to learn that the
Directors Of the company are doing their
utmost to straighten out the affairs of the
company, and if such is really the case,
we feel confident that everything will
again be moving along smoothly at an
early day. We might say good deal
upon this subject, and should occasion
require it, will not hesitate to do so.
ATTEMPTED RAPE.--An attempt at rape
was committed on Mr.. Kiernan's little girl
down in Meadow Valley Wash the other
day. Herman had business away from
his ranch, and during the day Mrs. Kier-
nan heard the girl scream and rushed out
of the house to see what was the matter.
She got to the place just in time to see
Ferguson, the hired man, catch the girl
and throw her down. Ferguson, on see
ing Mrs. Herman coming, got up and run
and got blanket, threw it over a mail
horse belonging to Col. Jennings that is
kept at that station, and fled the country.
Upon kiernan's return home he was in
formed of the circums' ances and he i'm
mediately went in pursuit of Ferguson
and traced him up to Desert Springs, but
arrived there two days after his man had
departed for Beaver or Frisco. Herman q
horse having given out he returned. A
telegraph description of Ferguson has sent
TO both Beaver and Frisco, and he was
arrested at the latter place. We now
await to see whether the authorities OF
Lincoln county are going to do anything
to bring this 6end to justice. The chances
are that they will not.
INDICTED AND ARRESTED. Ike Mathis
and Ben Tasker, both charged with kill
ing "Dutchy," who was stealing Mathis
horse, have been indicted by the Crane
Jury Of Beaver county, Utah, and las
tuesday Tasker was arrested at Miners

1t is not likely that either Of these mel
will be punished, for they were certainl,
