that the California ritiemen are

Night before last two men
named Taylor and Gorham
reached this city in a buggy just
in time to board the 7:1O train
for San Francisco. They were
armed with Winchester rifles
and had driven all the way
from Bodie. 1t appears that
they had some trouble with the
miners Of the MONDAY mine
and fled to avoid being lynched.
They telegraphed back to
Sheriff Showers, ats cold
day when we get left" At the
same moment Showers received
the dispatch the miners were
voting on the proposition of
hanging him. Showers just
escaped by a small majority.
Gorham and Taylor were very
reticent, and yesterday there
was Il report that the MONDAY
works were burned, but it was
not confirmed. Reports from
Bsdie are very contradictory
and no definite particulars can
be obtained.

Co!one! De Anne, the resident
special agent of the Interior De-
partment, returned from Pine
Nut Valley, a little sonth of

great depredations had been
committed on the public do
main in that section for the past
dozen years or more. The set
tiers i'll the valley have Gu; TIM
Der for charcoal burning and other
traffic, which was strictly the
property of the Government, and
which may run into the hum
dreds of thousands Of dollars.
Colonel De Ahne does not state
what steps, if any, will be taken
to punish the depredatois.
With very few exceptions they
are poor men, vino have accom-
plished 10 more than to earn a
meagre livelihood by their
thefts. 1t is more than likely,
however, that the Government
will institute criminal proceed
ings against those individuals.
Among the number are few
who are comparatively wealthy;
and the chances are that they
will be compelled to disgorge.
