The Aaerjcan Italy says: ''Mr. R. R. Smith,
who lives on Jones Island, in Lake Panasoff-
kee, found, few days since. a hole cut in a bay
tree near his home, and, having some curiosity
to know its origin, he cut into the tree and
found that it contained the skeleton Of per-
son about Y years of age, presumably an In
dian. There were also in the tree beads and
some Spanish silver, some of which had been
beaten out of shape. One dime was dated
1859. Why these bones were secreted IN the
tree, so contrary to Indian custom. VIII prob

of the years be unveiled. however, we might
find that this remote, silent and singular tomb
held the secret of some hIdeous crlme.|

Last evening Officer Nolan became sat
isied that he knew where the man Ten
Brock was hiding, When the officers
began the raids last week they we're spec
tally anxious to secure Ten Brock, but he
suddenly, and for the nonce effectually
disappeared. At first it was thought that
he had taken the alarm and fed from the
city, but subsequently it was believed that
he was in hiding somewhere. Yesterday
Mr.. Nolan obtained a clue to the mans
whereabouts, and after a careful search
became convinced that Ten Brock was
concealed in a building on Sixteenth
street at the rear of Henry Harrington's
store. A sudden visit was made to the
place and Ten Brock was found. He
was promptly arrested and is now in jail.
Ten Brock has been arrested several
times during the past year; he is known to
have been identified with a number of
suspicious games, and is by public rcpute
a common gambler of the lower type.
There are also special reasons why his
arrest was desired. He will have a hear
ing today.

The police are still on the lookout for
suspicious characters. The common
gamblers, FOUNDERS, habitual idlers, and
members of the gang have generally left
the city. Some of them have been keep
ing out of sight for a few days however,
and some were overlooked last week. By
searching carefully and by making a few
sudden visits officer Nolan last night
found six or seven men of the repute of
those mentioned. These he gave until
this evening to leave the city, and as the
notification was accompanied by a promise
of arrest and confinement in the city Jail,
the men will doubtless heed it. A short
tour around the city last evening showed
that the crowds in the saloons and gam
bling resorts were much smaller than a
week ago, but the receipts at the saloons
are just as large and fully as much money
changes hands in the sporting resorts.
The departure of the FOUNDERS has there
fore had no appreciable financial effect
even in those places which were their re-
sorts.

UNAPPREcIATED KINDNESS.
A Traveller Picks Up a Tramp who
Afterwards Steals His Team.

There arrived in this city from Pine
Ridge, OAK, on Sunday evening an cid
Mexican named Pedro E. Martinez. On
December 10 the old man had left Pine
Ridge with a wagon and span of horses,
intending to drive to a warmer climate to
spend o portion Of the winter. On last
Saturday morning, when half way between
Pole creek and the Nine Mile ranch he
was met by a man who was evidently a
tramp. This individual inquired if the
old man was bound for Cheyenne, and re-
ceiving an affirmative reply asked to be al
lowed to ride TO this place. The Mexican
invited him to jump in and the tramp did
so. They logged along together for some
distance when the old man, being chilled,
turned the lines over to the tramp md got
out to walk for awhile. The team logged
on quietly for some time, but the distance
between it and the Mexican was gradually
increased until Martinez was left far be-
hind. Then the tramp whipped up the
horses and was soon lost to view. Mar
tinez made his way as best he could on
foot to Cheyenne where he reported the
matter to the police.
He values his property at $500, which
includes S45 in greenbacks wrapped up in
his bedding, and a rifle which he values at
about the same amount. One of the
horses is described as a dark iron-gray,
branded "a" on the left shoulder, and
the other is a dark bay with four white
feet and unbranded.
This team passed through the city some
time on Saturday and when last heard of
was moving toward the Colorado line.
An effort will be made to recover the
old mans property. Meantime he will be
compelled to remain here.

4 splendid supper and Entertainment
at the Congregational Church.

The Sunday school room and parlors Of
the Congregational church were filled last
evening by those who partook of an elab-
crate, old-fashioned New England supper,
given by the ladies of the church.
One very large table and two of medium
size were devoted to the feast. The
menu consisted Of baked beans, cooked in
the good old Boston style, turkey, oysters,
hulled corn from Maine, cranberries, old
fashioned mince pie so good that one must
eat until nightmare would be sure to wait
on safety, pumpkin pie, as our great
Grand Fathers loved it, brown bread,
New England pudding, coffee, what was
Coffee" and tea worth going a mile to
drink.
The ladies in charge of the supper were
dressed in appropriate costume, while the
dishes and a spinning-wheel and a long
handled warming pan, and other old
fashioned articles gave to the feast a
proper element of the long ago.
A volunteer choir sang a number Of ap-
propriate airs, and Mr. E. p. Roberts,
with exquisite accent and hRgmony, sang
an old Scotch ballad.
The entertainment was a financial as
well as a social success, and will net the
church about n hundred dollars.

No cases of any great and startling in

retired in tears and a hack.
Justice Lee investigated the sub-rosa
facts in the matter of Bessie Banks aims
Banker, alias Banker, who on Saturday
evening chopped the heads of Mollie
Hurd and Ida kConnell with a Ratchet.
The evidence showed that the two latter
damsels had broken into the Banker girls
house with the evident intention of hay
ing a fight, and Justice Lee therefore
fined them each $13, but discharged Bes-
sic Banker so far as that complaint was
concerned. Just to sort Of equalizc the
thing however, he fined her SIS for re-
siding in a house OF i%ll-repute. The three
fines were paid.
A soldier who gave the name of Martin
Wigman was charged $l3 for a miscalcu-
lation as to his capacity for coffin varnish,
and was released upon his promise to call
