Police Picking5.

In the Police Court yesterday John
O'Brien was tried on a charge OF
assault and battery. The evidence
appearing clear that the defendant
had made a valiant effort to put a
head on one Pat Cunningham in the
Washington Brewery on Sunday
night, the Court sentenced him to
pay a fine of $40 and costs of suit, IN
default of which he was committed
to the county Jail.
John Mcdonald was charged with
an unadorned drunk, and pleading
guilty to the soft impeachment was
assessed SIS and costs. His excheque1
being in dilapidated condition John

In Justice Nichols Court the cases
of Thomas Rice, G.. A. McElroy and

a portion of the crowd whom j.
s. Leaver alleges, assaulted him al
Silver Bow Junction Friday after
noon because they suspected him o
being a spotter for the railroad com
pany. In the fracas Leaver lost SIS;
out of his pocket and it was decided
to prosecute the defendants on thu
more serious charge of robbery. The
entire afternoon was occupied in the
examination and the testimony was
concluded by both sides with the ex'
ception of some rebuttal evidence tt
be introduced by the prosecution this
morning. The case is being closely
contested by G.. w. Stapleton for thu
prosecution and Messrs. Word aao

a promising looking outcropplng.
He at once lost all interest in the
game and proceeded to investigate
the rock. The result is that he
struck a fine gold-bearing quartz.
He showed us several specimens.
The rock is free milling ore, and the
gold can be seen in the decomposed
portions of the specimens in consid-
cradle quantities. MI. Hayes was
offered $1,000 for the claim on the
spot, but refused it. There are a
number of men in the mountains
buying placer and quartz claims and
are paying big money for the same.
The result will be just as we pre-
dicted when the mines were first dis
covered. We then claimed that
quartz lodges would certainly be
found, and quartz mining would
prove the real wealth of the new
mining section. While we never
doubted the richness of the placer
diggings, yet it stood to reason that
the surface mining would eventually
be work out, while the quartz mining
would be a source of revenue fol
wears to come. From the nature OF
the rock and the extent of the veins

Doiags Of a Gang q Nlght-rsldcrs.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 20.-1There has been a
series of acts committed ON the line OF Gwin-
nett and Walton counties by four men which
challenges human credence. Last Saturday
night John Stroud, James Tanner, Charles
Buchanan and Ed Thompson bought a gal
lon and a half of whisky They went to Mat
Fosters. called him out, and told him they
came to kill him. Seeing the mob DRINK and
with pistols, lie withdrew into the house,
barred the door, and ran out at the back door.
Thinking he was in they cut down the door,
vent in, and cut things generally The bed
was cut in fragments, the table aud cooking
ware were broken into pieces, his bed-clothes
torn into rags, and churn of milk thrown
ali over the wife's clothing They then left
and went to Mr. Thompson's. They asked
him did he have daughter, using vile
epithets. The man took TO his heels. The
crowd followed him. Meantime the wife
and daughters, hearing the demands,
made flight, the wife having been
shot at the moment she stepped into
the yard, the ball lodging above the
door. The crowd entered the house and
repeated what had been done at Fosters
house They then proceeded to the Bonni-
field place and made a demand in the same
indecent manner. At this place they found
more men than women, and were run Off.
The gang is nestled at the head of pond
near Windsor, well armed, and have friends
who act as informers to notify them of the

ago. The business, he said, had been in
creasing ever since until three or four months
ago, when it had been stopped He had seen
several whole hides Of women, perfect and
looking as natural as life, at Muller's tannery
in Cambridge--the last one about year ago.
Daniel McDermott, of Somerville, had also
seen them; also a man named Wooster. Nc
Dermott cut off small piece and carried it
in his pocket two years, Thebusiness is also
done in Woburn. There are plenty of men,
said the witness, who could tellsall about
