PERILs OF IMMIGRATION.
PrivatfOns and Hardshfps of a
Family Who Crossed the Plains.

PrivatIOns and Hardships of a
Family Who Crossed the Plains.
There arrived yesterday by the immi-
grant train from the East, a mother and
four small children, says the Sacramento
Record-Union, which furnish an ex-
ample Of the privations and hardships
which were often experienced by the early
immigrants who came to this coast with
slow teams, starting in the Spring and
crossing the Sierras in the early SHOWS Of
the following Winter. In May last the
party, consisting Of man, wife and four
children, left Missouri with a span Of horses
and wagon, bringing their full outfit Of
earthly goods, and en- route to make q flu
ture home in Oregon. When they reached
Idaho their team gave out, and was sold at
q sacrifice and another span of horses pur-
chased with which to make the remainder
Of the journey. This unexpected outlay
was a hardship by reason Of their limited
boldt Station, on the Central Pacific Rail-
road in Nevada, their new team had be-
come so reduced that not to exceed ten
miles per day could be made, and to COM
plete the journey the team, wagon and out
fit were sold. With the money thus raised
the man sent his wife and children and
the baggage to this city by railroad, and
only had about So left, which was not sufi-
cient to pay his own fare, and hence he was
left at Humboldt to either work until he
could pay his fare or come through on foot.
The family was found yesterday at the de-
pot in this destitute condition and were
taken by Chief Karcher to police headquar-
tiers for shelter until something else could
be done. Last evening a gentleman, whose
charitable deeds are frequently shown,
took the woman and children to the Inter-
national Hotel and had them made COM
Portable there until some steps can be taken
for their temporary relief.

THE CATTLE MARKET.
Prospects of n Higher Market and
short supply.

The price of cattle is rapidly advancing.
The Reno Gazette says the supply in
Western Nevada and the northeast corner
Of California is very small. Nice three
and four-year-olds that have been costing
$40 and $21 per head are now held for from
s26 to $50: 1t is estimated that there are
not a third the cattle in Nevada, Oregon.
Idaho and Montana that there were five
years & o There are enormous crops OF
hay and grain in Surprise, Goose Lake and
Sierra Valleys, as well as ON the Carson,
Humboldt-and Truckee, and there Is q big
demand for cattle to eat the crops up on
account OF there being no market for
them. Most Of the fat cattle on the
ranges have been gathered in. In this
valley, where, in former years, there were
from 10, 900 to II, 900 head Of cattle fed,
there will be none this Winter that have
been heard Of yet. Surprise Valley usual
ly winters over 1000 head. This season
DR.. Patterson and Mr.. Hudspeth are the
only parties that have any engaged, and
the amount fed will not exceed 1000. Cox
& jackson may feed some in Goose Lake
Valley, and about 600 will be fed in Para
disc Valley. None that the Gazette can
learn OF will be fed or the Humboldt.
These figures are, Of course, outside OF
stock cattle, calves and two-year-olds.
They are all several dollars higher than
they have been.

silver Clouds.

Any person who had been up Of 8 o'clock
this morning. says the Times-Review Of
last Tuesday, would have witnessed a sight
seldom presented in this vicinity-per-
haps never. The summit Of the noun
tains on the east Of the valley stood out
like bold shadows against the distant clear
and cloudless horizon. while away dow
in the valley, miles from the summit, was
one vast bed Of waving, snowy clouds. Its
virgin Wilderness remained long after the
sun had looked over the eastern hilltops.
1t In not unusual for clouds to rest both
on hill and valley, but to find the valley
covered, and above and around having its
wonted appearance, was new to the Oldest

Last week we copied an item from the
Independent. says the Winnemucca Silver
State, relative to two women who passed
through Elko, with their children in emf
grant wagons. The absence OF men was
noticeable, and the women refused to be
interviewed or tell where they were from,
or where they were going. Since then 1t
has been ascertained they were the
families OF the Hair Brothers who were
arrested at Battle Mountain for stealing
cattle in Churchill County and taken back
to saltwater by the Sheriff. They broke
Jail, and have not since been heard from.
The m came from Churchill, sold the
cattle which belonged to their husbands,
paid debts which their husbands had in
Cured here and for which the cattle were
attached, and are now on their way to
Montana or Colorado. The men undoubt-
edly communicate with them, and travel
off the road in the day time to avoid being
recaptured.

Hafr-SpIitting Lawyers Run Their
Client In for 2 Years.

GHACns IN I'VE @ra
After a trial lasting some two weeks,
says the Record Union, the burglar Hope
has been convicted Of an attempt to COM
NIT burglary, which renders him liable to
a sentence of seven years and a half in the
p~enitentiary. The case was by no means
q complicated one,b but its tediousness has
been entirely due to the pettifogging OF
the lawyers for the defense, who for days
together amused themselves by splitting
hairs, and who appear to have thought it
necessary to contest every point, no mat
ter how trivial, in the interest Of their
client. The interest Of the case has been
largely due to the fact that the defendant
is q notorious criminal, who is said to have
amassed a considerable fortune by a series
OF daring and usually successful bank
robberies in the Eastern States. He APP
pears to have come to California for
the express purpose Of robbing Sather's
Bank in San Francisco, and he and
a confederate (who has not been cap
turedl were proceeding very method
ically with their preparations, when
an accident betrayed them. Hope was
arrested in a closet under the stairs in
the upper part Of the building in which
the bank is situated. Part of the floor Of the
closet had been cut out, and considerable
work had been done in digging down upon
the bank safe, which was just underneath.
Had the burglars had "a hours longer they
would no doubt have succeeded in their
purpose. With Hope were taken a COM
plete set Of burglars tools. In fact the
evidence against him was 80 strong that
it could not have been stronger unless he
had been taken in the very act of drilling
q hole in the safe. There was literally no
room for doubt as to his guilt. His pres
ence where he was caught, and his connec-
ton with the attack on the safe, were not
susceptible Of an innocent explanation.
Yet his lawyers kept q jury for two weeks
listening to the most frivolous and ridicu-
lous objections and arguments. At the
same time these lawyers made it apparent
that the position Of an honest witness may
be made more intolerable than that of the
prisoner himself. They ~badgered, and
insulted, and worried, and abused the
witnesses for the prosecution in the most
exasperating way. We are glad to be able
to say that all this wanton waste of time
and all this fragrant t~ravesty of legitimate
cross-examination resulted in no advantage
to the defendant. The jury, not impossi-
bly, rendered the more obdurate by the
outrageous ~prolongation Of an impossible
defense. lost no time in returning the
s~everest verdict they could find; and when
Judge freedom has imposed the heaviest
penalty the law allows, perhaps James
Hope, and his counsel too, will realize
that he was not defended with much abil-
ity after all, and that the jury might have
been less revengeful had they been less
imposed upon.
