9 out of 10, showing that he has not forgotten
how to Kill them" and as the mantle of
victory has fallen or the shoulders OF his
brother Henry, it is "all in the family"
anyhow The other one of the trio of ehoot-
ing Carriers won the second medal, and it
looks now as il one of them was going to
wear one of the medals all the time. Verify,

POOLS shot off, in which all were privileged
to enter The shooting was good in ali these

ditions, the challenge was accepted, and
James Parrot was named as the "party OF

PROSPECTS OF REsuMPuoE.-It is learned
| from parties who have returned from San
Francisco that since that branch of the rail-
road case was decided against the Robinson
bonds, there is a prospect that tie road from
Folsom to Shingle Springs will be re opened.
In fact, it Is said that as the Central Pacific
Railroad Company stood ready, after these
bonds were declared out of the way. to make
good their former offer to give security for
payment of any judgment that may be rem
dered upon the original suit, and in the
meantime operate the road for the benefit of
those depending upon it for transportation.
Judge Hunt signifed that it was proper that
such course should be taken and the Receiver
discharged. This, it is said, was strenuously
opposed by counsel upon the other side, as
the Receiver had expended $4,000, or more,
road. The Judge, however, intimated that
If The Central Pacific Railroad Company was
willing to become responsible for whatever
amount should be decided as due upon the
Kittle bonds, there was no good reason why
the road shClld remain in stillborn condi.
ton in the Receivers hands. A decision was
| finally postponed until this evening, when all
the parties have been notified to be present
at meeting of the Court in San Francisco
i al - I'D = ,,a la~
quite probable that the result will be that
! the security for the Kittle claim, which was
approved several months ago, will be ac-
| cepted, that the Receiver will be discharged
and the running of the road be at once again
resumed by the Central Pacific Railroad
Company.
HYDRAULIC MINING SUIT.-Attorney-G Gen
eral Hart has notified the attorneys for the
defense in the case of the State against the
Gold Run Mining Company to file their an
swer ard prepare for trial, and has also di.
| rected that the attorneys who are to partici-
pate upon the part of the prosecution be
ready to proceed with the case, as he intends,
in accordance with his recent letter which
was published, to have speedy trial of the
case, in order to obtain a decision of the SUI
preme Courtupon thehydraulic question at as
early date as possible. One Of the leading
| attorneys for the defense held consultation
with the AttorneYGeneral few days since,
| and suggested that inesmuch as the miners
would not wish to have the case tried before
Judge who belongs in the injured district,
and farmers and valley people would not be
willing that it should be tried before a Judge
| from mining district, that an impartial
Judge from another part of the State be Sc
lected for that purpose; he also suggested
that the Attorney General should make the
selection. The proposition was accepted,
and Judge from another part Of the State
| has been selected by the Attorney-General
but it has not yet been sscertained whether
he will consent to sit in the case. If he
should lot, another will be chosen.
