Noarly everybody in this section. and
many In Ward and Hamilton, will remember
George Travis, who was night foreman at the
Star mine last summer. He left here last
August and went to Nebraska, from whence
come the following concerning his ffightful

County Commissioner John Flynn,
who is over from Hamilton, informs
ms that the Salary Law is a great saw
ing to the county. In proof OF this
he asserts that but 50, 900 OF county
scrip were issued this year, while
$1,000 were redeemed. johnny is so
well posted on the law and all mat
ters pertaining to it, that he choked
us off on minor details relating TO the
workings of the same. The Commits
sioner also II MS there will be no
thimble-rigging about the county seat
removal; whenever the requisite pc
tition is presented the vote will be or
dered and the law complied with.
This Is fair, and all we ask.

A Horrible Crime.

On the 18th ult.. the dollhouse, at
Six mile Canyon, near Virginia, was
burned to the ground, and the re-
mains of Fernandez Pollock and his
wife, an aged couple, who kept the
house, were found in The ruins. The
skulls of both the old people were
crushed, which justifies the suspi-
cicion that they were murdered, and
the house afterwards set on fire to
conceal the crime. They were sup
posed to have considerable money in
the house. An autopsy of the re-
mains showed that the old man had
been shot in the head.

Nickel was arrested aud brosght over
here for trial. About half the people
OF the town were suppued as wit

several DAYS. The case came up for
hearing before Justice Lander last
Tuesday on the plaintiffs demand to
place the defendant under bonds TO
keep the peace. After hearing sew
eral Witnesses, his Honor very prop
erly dismissed the case, assessing the
costs to plaintiff, there moi appearing
n shadow of evidence to sustain the

the witnesses who were summoned
here on the case swore like ''our

Death Of Dan Patterson.

Dan Patterson, for many years a
wellknown resident of White Pine
county, died in Eureka on the 2sth
ult. of pneumonia. Speaking of the
event, the Sentinel says: Dan was a
native OF st. Lawrence County, Yer
mont, where he was born in 1925.
At the age of 10 he went to Texas and
joined The u. s. forces in the war
with Mexico, serving in the commits
sary department. After the war he
came overland through Durango TO
California, arriving in 1850. He set
tied in Tnolnmne county, where he
became Sheriff and served Two terms
from SO to go. The next event Of
his life was his building the by-road
from Sonora to Aurora. through
what is now Bodie. He came out to
White Pine in 1869, during the Eber-
hardt excitement. In the Fall of 10
he was elected Sheriff of the county,
AMI at the expiration Of his two years
term was reelected and served Alto
geiher four wears up to Jan. /, 1875.
He came to Eureka about four years
ago, and for the last two years he has
been doing duty "a night Waterman
on Mob Hill. His wife died in San
Francisco a year ago. Dan Patterson
was a man universally respected.
lie had excellent qualities of heart.
He was always popular. He was a
genial companion. He was original
and possessed strong traits of charac-
ter that will preserve his memory
many years on the Pacific Coast, in
the early history of which he figured
prominently and always w%orthily.

A few weeks ago we had something
to say about the leakage in poll-tax
collections. At that time we did not
know the exact number collected in
this county, but addressed a letter to
Auditor Timson I'll the subject, which
elected the following reply:
HAMILTON, Dee. %, 1881.
w. l.. DAVIS. Esc.-Dear Sir: 1hs total
number Of poll trxes issued in White Pins
Coanty for ths year lssI was 73), but many of
them are placed on tho assessment roll. and
thsro are some fifty sill delinquent on that
I'll. muny of which will probably b. paid.
Yours truly, Nm TiMsOS.
Il is SAFE to estimate that of those
ON the delinquent tax twenty will
never be collected. We feel conf
dent that Wbi'e Pine county would
to-dsy poll 500 yo es at least, nearly
every one of whom are subject to poll
tax. Besides, it is safe to say that
there are 80 non-voters in the county,
including Chinese, who are subject to
the payment Of pc l-tax. So that, at
a very low estimate, 900 poll-taxes
ought to have been collecte | in White
Pine County Here is where IN

A Mine IN a Mnn,s stomach.

We were shown a day or two ago a
piece OF erystalized quartz thrown up
by Mr.. VIM. Tabor, a miner in the
Star mine. For some time past Mr..
Tabor has been affl icted with "A hack

able uneas ness from some unknown
cause During n violent cough
day last week he threw up a piece OF
c~rystalized lime about the size OF a
bean and several smaller fragments,
after which he felt grea ly relieved.
An assay Of the mineral gave $40 10
the ton, and now several OF Mr.. Ia
boris friends talk OF locating a min-
eral claim on him. Seriously, this il
one of the most singular occurrences
we have ever heard of. Physicians
say that Tabor inhaled the dus. while
at work IN the mine, an the same

uELPING.THE FREEDMEN.
a Talk with Mr.. Atohlson. of Dunlap

A Talk With Mr.. Atehison, of Dunlap,
Kansas.
Topeka Capital: MIR. Andrew Atchi-
son, principal of the literary and bust
ness academy of Dunlap, Kansas, organ
lied for the purpose of educating child
rem of colored parents, was Topeka
visitor yesterday. A Capital represent
alive met him and was soon interested
in the report he gave of the success of
the colored colony at Dunlap, small
town in Morris county, situated ua the
Missouri Pacific railway, about fifteen
miles northwest of Emporia. There are
gathered at Dunlap and vicinity at the
present time between 275 and 800 fami
lies of colored people, all of whom are
succeeding quite well and many of
whom are on the road TO prosperity.
The plan of the Dunlap colony is very
simple, the chief reason, probably, OF
the success met with, being the fact tina
every settler is compelled TO own his
property, no renting being permitted.
Portions of land of various sizes, from
10 acres to 100, are purchased and
payments so arranged that the settler
can have four years in which to pay for
his home. About IT'S families have
each from lorty to eighty acres in their
home tract, forming at one time part
of the Kaw Indian reserve, and pur-
chased from the government. The crops
of last year were somewhat dishearten,
ing, but this year decided change fol-
the better came, and as Mr.. Atchison
expressed it, everybody is fat and hap
py." One of the chief workers in this
field of labor is Columbus Johnson, Of
this city, colored gentleman who is
energetically engaged in finding homes
for his race. Mr.. johnson owns consid
cradle property near Dunlap, and will
soon move there from Topeka and make
that his home. Mr.. Atchison says Mr.
johnson has been a true friend of hi:
people and has greatly aided in this
kind of work.
Mr. Atchison is especially pleased
with the progress the school is making
though the means ut his disposal are
quite limited. The little folks quite
generally attend and are making con
siderable progress. All in all, Mr.
Atchison thinks the Dunlap colony {
permanent success, and is devotinG
much earnest labor to his part of th'
| work

eom,nen Kansas COURAGE

Hiawatha World: With pair of gray
horses, and old wagon and fifty cents in
money, w r. BARLEY, a Virginian, ar.
rived in Brown county twelve years ago
"Pretty well played out" some people
would say. Evidently failure in the
race of life, and might as we'll give ii
up" BARLEY didn't think so. He
settled on an eighty" Kickapoo land,
bought of the railroad company on
time-as SO many other Kansas homes
have been bought.
All the seasons since 1870 have moi
been kind and lovely in Kansas, but
the men of courage, though poor,
have kept on. Mr.. BARLEY did. He
now owns 240 acres of land in this
county, is out of debt, and is making
money every year. He has been offered
$4,000 for his estate, but says he would
lose money if he accented the offer.
Fifty cents and energy have made home.
Mr.. BARLEY is Republican and model
father; buys books and music for his
children and does everything he can for
the comfort of his family. A true Kan
san.
One of the old grays still lives, is well
cared for, and will have his board free
as long as he lives. So Wellington kept
the horse "Copenhagen," which he rode
at Waterloo, and so Sheridan kept the
charger, at Fit. Leavenworth, that carried
him to Winchester, twenty miles away"
Peace hath her victories and horses no
less renowned than war.
