While this regiment vas encamped

three husbands during her lifetime,
finally died in New York town,

mortal remains might repose beside
those of her first husband. All 10.

had been thrice married, was peace
fully resting between his two wives,
whereupon resort was had to No. @.
Slngularly enough, his dust was
found to occupy precisely similar
position. Only one chance now re-
NAMED, and it was with some un-
easiness that the mourners visited
the grave Of No. 3. But the last of
the trio had been more considerable
Upon his right lay his first wife, but

Judge Hillyer to be Retired.

The following press dispatch will
prove interesting to the many friends
of Judge Z. W. Hillyer: The House
Judiciary Committee have agreed to
report favorably bill to retire Ed
ward w. Hillyer, United States
Judge of the District of Nevada,
with full pay during his natural life.
He is afflicted with softening of the
brain. More than local interest at
taches to this bill. as in providing
tor the payment of tull salary du-
ring his natural life it takes a step in
the direction of a civil pension list,
which has always met with sturdy
opposition from Congress and the
people of the country. The senate
has passed, without opposition, the
bill introduced by Senator Fair,
which provides for the appointment
of AN additional United States Dis
trict Judge for Nevada to perform
the duties for which Judge Hillyer
has become physically incapacitated.
The House judiciary Committee have
agreed to report favorably on Cas-
sidy's bill for the retirement of Judge
Hillyer on full pay, but will IN
doubtedly recommend the passage
of the Senate bill AS a substitute as
soon as the latter can be reached on
the speakers table.

The ROberts-MasOn ARRAY.

The particulars of the Roberts
Mason shooting ARRAY, in Grass Val
ley, is the all absorbing topic of
conversation throughout the country.
From the best information, the fol-
lowing is correct statement of the

on the street, and inquired how long
he would remain 10 town, intimating
that the stfair-reterring to some
trouble, or talk. they had some
months past-had to be settled, aud
finally plainly told Mason "to heel"
himself. Mason was perfectly sober
and paid no particular attention to
to his remarks. They parted, and
In the meantime, Robert tried to bor-
row a pistol from various parties,
refused to lend it to him, knowing
his reputation while under the in
iiuence of liquor. He finally obtain
ed one, and both met in front of the
Hol brook House about half past
eight o'clock. Mason was engaged
in conversation with a gentleman,
when Roberts commenced to address
his remarks to Mason, who paid no
attention whatever at first, but finally
denied certain statements, when he
claims Roberts called him "a dirty
liar" and threw his right hand on
his pistol. Mason made fer him,
when he kept backing off until he
fired. Alter receiving the shot, Ma
son, being unarmed, clinched and
downed Roberts, and then quietly
walked up the street to the doctors
office, from where he was removed
to Judge DiDble's house, where he
now lies, resting as easily as can be
expected. The doctors have failed
to locate tie ball, which entered the
body, striking the short rib and
glancing off. Roberts claims he shot
MasCn in self-defense.
