The rufdans by the name of Isaac
Barrett, Ferguson and Buzzard, from
the neighborhood Of Buenna Vista,
rode into Spring creek few days ago
and threw the camp into terror by
beating a man name Hughes, knocking
down saloon men, robbing the mail
carrier, and causing everybody 70
"hold up" whom they came IN con-
tact with. In riding out of town they
met Mr.. Beeson, and fndingi that he
had nothing after going through him
compiled him to go on his hands
and knees, and other performances
that were ludicrous and outrageous.
A number of officers were dispatched
after them, and at the latest reports
they had captured Ferguson, and
Buzzard, who had gone towards
Saguache. This is the first perform
ance of the kind that has ever occurred
in this county, and it is to be hoped
that the perpetrators will be handled
in such manner that no other gang will
make similar break.

ing upon. The building OF this oven
without any assistance from profess

upon their enterprise. There are no
brick to be had here at all and this
oven was built of fire clay which was
dug up and hauled in from distance
of several miles in the country. The
oven is a large one, having a baking
capacity of about three hundred loaves
at a time. 1t is we'll built, which is

$4,000 Ozs!
IS WHAT THE NORTHWEST
SHOWS UP AT 18 FEET.

The latest sensation in the way Of
mining news, is the big strike which
occurred at the head of O,-Be-Joyful
basin, last week, in claim called the
Northwest. This claim was discover
ed and located last summer by the
Hawks Bros, who then did nothing
but the ten foot assessment work re-
quired by law. This summer they
gave an interest to some parties in
consideration Of certain amount of
work to be done. The work was
commenced and before more than
eight feet had been accomplished a
pay streak 18 inches wide was dis
closed, which proves to be almost en-
tirely native silver. An assay on a
specimen of the ore showed the as
founding result of $4,000 ounces per
ton. Thus far the development work
consists of an 18-ft. adit. The vein
matter is about eight feet in width and
consists of spar, iron and sandstone
formation. The entire vein assayed
100 ounces silver per ton. The strike
occurred in the vicinity of the Chip
Munk and Cataract lodes, two of the
claims owned by the Ruby District
mining company. This strike was
kept quiet for several days, but ye re-
porter found out all about it before
the parties interested knew it.

about it, for the simple reason that the
owners know that their property is

DO Bank Directors Direct,

SOmew hat OF the sting contained in the savage
remarks OF press and platform the Howgate
embeZZlement case would seem To be taken away
by the circumstances attending the failure the
other day of the Merchants National Bank of New
ARK. New Jersey HOwgate got away with hun
dred thousand dollars, or so. and the indignant
private citizen has naturally wanted to KIT w, ever
since the exposure, how a public officer could
abstract that amount Of money and nobody know
anything about it. The case was bad enough, IL Is
true, and showed something to be radically wrong
In the government system OF accounts and ac-
cOuntability; but ID was nothing compared TO the
Newark bank experience. Here the cashier alb
sorbed in some way the whole assets OF the con-
Germ He literally used up all the deposits and the
whole capital stock OF the corporation, while the
president and directors sat quietly by in blissful
ignorance that anything was wrong. The only
thing he left indeed, appears to be the bank build
ing, and doubtless he would have taken that also
II he could have slipped it away without dis
tuTbing the nap OF the cOnfiding board chosen to
watch over him and keep him and his
affairs straight. And not only were the
managers unaware that there was anything
wrong with their institution, but less than month
before the collapse their sworn statement OF It's
affairs showed a handsome surplus of funds on
hand, while its stock, the par value of which was
100, was selling in market as safe ana profitable
investment at 1s6.
III there is any foundation for the popular belief
In the certainty and severity OF Jersey justice these
men will doubtless be punished, as far as any pun
tshment is provided by law, for their criminal
neglect But how Will the inflictiOn of even the
EXTREMIST penalty help the case OF the scores Of
men, women and children who have been brought
face to face with ruin by the rascality and care
lssness OF those chosen to administer great and
sacred trust?
III the directors of the concern have anything
left after meeting their obligations with ordinary
stockholders, 1t ought to be taken to the last mill
to reimburse the losses Of those who trusted so
confidently to their business sagacty and integ-
Tty- In fact, any banking law which does not
hold the whole estate of directors of bank re-
sponsible for the honest management OF its affairs
may be regarded as lacking the most essential
feature OF security. II they not willing to take
this risk that fact itself should put stockholders
their guard, and lead them TO look elsewhere for
managers.

The municipal contest in Brooklyn has narrowed
down TO straight party fight between the demo-
Gratis and republicans. AT the outset both parties
were loud in their protestations,of desire for re-
FORM and pledges to smash the rings regardless Of
politics were freely made but the bosses" proved
as persuasive as usual and now have things in
their own hands. The anti-ring democrats nOmi-
mated Gen. SlOcum for mayor with some sort of
understanding that the Independent republicans
would endorse him. The Independent republicans
thought they had the democrats divided and
that it was too good an opportunity to win to be
wasted in endorsing democrat Therefore, they
nominated Mr. Low. The anti-ring democrats
claimed that faith had not been kept, and mat
terof spite went over bodily to the regular demo-
cratic candidate, H0wellS, who represents the Nc
Laughlin ring The only hope left for reform is that
enough democrats may vote for Low to defeat
HowellS, but now that party politics have been
made the ruling Issue, there is not much prospect
Of this, in view of the 10000 or 1900 democratic
majority in Brooklyn.
