Last week, says, the Virginia Chron-
icle, John Corcoran, of the Piute House,
Gold Hill, sued Barrister McMurchie
for 1873 81, alleged to be due on board
bill, and attached his wages at the Alta
mine. McMurchie claimed exemption
of $97 so, the entire amount due him.
Justice Flanningham decided that 500
was enough for his months support,
and gave Judgment against him for the
amount of the bill. AS McMurchie. is
the author of the Exemption bill under
which the judgment was given, the
fable of the eagle furnishing the feath-
cred shaft which drank its life blood is
again exemplified.
While two young Indians were play
ing football in East Belmont on Tues

and children of the Shoshone tribe,
who happened to be in this section at
the time of the discovery. Some of the
Indians say that the money found
amounted to about 500. while others
claim that the amount was not less
than 81, 900. At any rate, the Indians
have been very flush since the dis
covery.
