to the case is taken from the Ward Re.

should have been $4,000, but to have
refused bail would have been the proper
thing. There would have been as much
sense in admitting him to bail had he
been convicted second time of murder
IN the first degree. This ends 1.-THE
McLanes are his bondsmen-and Geo. w.
McLane, the murderer of Wallbaum. walks
out OF the country. The murder of Wall.
baum was equally as cold blooded as that
committed by old Vale, who afterwards
slept on his victims grave for three
weeks. Wallbaum's murderer has been
turned loose to kill the next man that
crosses his path. We do not believe
the Judge left one stone unturned in try.
ing to do his duty to the public, but on
learning that the jury failed to do its
duty, after having such clear evidence,
tracing this murder to mans very
hand, and the defence being unable to
produce any testimony in rebuttal, he
became disguised, and knowing that the
witnesses could never be gotten together
again, decided to end the matter then
and there. The bonds given are not
worth a continental. There must, in.
deed, have been some queer material com.
posing. that jury. The McLane outfit
arrived in Phoebe Wednesday and feel
elated over the turn things have taken.
DOUBLED THE RENT.-The owner of
the property on the corner of Main and
Meadow Valley streets, extending along
Meadow Valley to the livery stable, has
raised the rent on the lesseos The bro.
prletor OF this property came to Phoebe
on tour OF observation couple weeks
before election, when things just began to
boil and the saloons occupying this prop.
erty were doing good business. The
old gentleman remained in town week,
and the whole Of this time the saloons
were full nightly, considerable drinking
and gambling going on, hundreds Of dol.
lars changing hands nightly, and men
who were in debt for their last twelve
months board, were around wanting to
bet from 500 to $500 on their favorite
political pill. This all made things look
lively to the old man and he said he saw
more money in Phoebe than any town he
had travelled through. When he return.
ed to San Francisco he sent notice here
notifying the lessees that he had "doub.
led the rent on them. The lessees have
decided not to stand the ''raise'' and will
tear down their buildings and remove.
giving Mr.. Chilovich possession of his
vacant lots.
EXPORTING. - We learn through the
Sentinel that Clint. Patchen has been ex.
porting the mines on Ruby Hill, and that
he predicts bright future for Eureka.
Clint. is "way-up" expert and knows all
about the different kinds of ores. He can
distinguish R. l. E. black ore from char
coal with his eyes closed-he bites it, and
If it is hard and will not break, it is black
ore; but if soft and crumbles in his
mouth, charcoal. He contemplates going
East and renting himself to the mining
interpretations.
NJ. ARMER, who has been doing bust
ness in Grantsville several months, re.
turned to Phoebe Wednesday. He re.
ports the 40.stamp mill running and
speaks well of the Alexander and Brook.
Ign mines. He brought several speci.
mems Of ore with him, which carries both
gold and silver. The specimens contained
considerable pyrites Of iron. Money is
very scarce at Grantsville. u
CHAMPION Eco EATER. Phoebe has
the champion egg eater Of the coast. He
went into the restaurant Tuesday and
ate square-meal, and as he came out he
prevailed upon the proprietor to sell him
four dozen eggs. As soon as he got out
of the house he commenced to crack and
suck the eggs, not Getting up" till the
last egg went down, and then he wanted
more.
BULL1oNv1LLE.-The Bullionville re-
duction works, it is thought, will be able
to start up under full Roadway in about
six weeks. They do not appear to be
hurrying up things down there at all;
just taking it slow and easy, as though
they didn't believe the world was com.
ing to an end next year, and didn't care
whether it did or not.
JUDGMENT was taken Thursday morn
ing in the Justice Court against several
persons and properties for delinquent
taxes for the year 1879. Execution was
issued in the several cases and the prop
erty will be sold to pay costa and taxes,
according to law. aa
