OsCEOLA ITEMS.
Ward Refer. May II.


A large number of men are going into
Osceola for the purpose Of putting in their
biggest ticks at placer mining while the
water lasts, 80 we are informed by James
Matson, who came over from that aurifer-
GUS region Sunday last.
Two Cinnamon had q shooting match in
the streets of Osceola Friday, but the only
thing that got hurt was the side of Charley
Bussey's house. James Matson arrived
Sunday with one Of the belligerents, on his
way to Hamilton.
L. Leavitt writes from Osceola to Pou-
Jade l. Garaghan, who are interested with
him, that he commenced sluicing Monday
with 100 inches of water, expects much
more and has eight men, four on q shift,
working night and day. He says there are
SO men engaged in placer mining in the
district.
L. Leavitt left for Osoeola Saturday, for
the purpose of working his placer claim.
The claim he purposes working adjoins the
one on which the Darling nugget was
found in 1877, and which was valued at
about 81, $50. 1t was named after Darling,
who was employed on the claim, who
found it and attempted to get away with
it. He finally 'whacked up with the
owners Of the claim who got 50, $40 out of
it. Such a nugget found in Ceur d'Alene
would set the country wild, but find it in
Osceola and it is not worth noticing. Com
petent Judges do not hesitate to say that
this isolated placer cannot be worked out
in ten years with all the water that can be
brought to bear upon it. All it lacks is
water. The water is in the neighborhood,
but men of means cannot be induced to
bring it in.

divorce case this morning, Expert Hyde

claimed TO have been received by the
plaintiff from defendent, aud known as
1.-THE Wife Letters" He testified that the
word wife in three of the letters was not in
the same handwriting as the body of the

word wife was in plaintiffs handwriting.
Senator Sharon, who has been absent
from the courtroom for the past three
weeks, was present to-day.
After the direct examination OF Hyde
was concluded by Barnes. he was cross-ex-
amined by G.. F. Tyler, plaintiffs attorney
Before this was finished a recess was taken

nesses.

Fatal Shooting.

The second man killed in this county the
present year, that we are aware Of, is Alex
ander Dry Of the Muddy. He was killed
last Saturday by Jack Longstreet. The
facts, or what we have been able to learn
of them, are these: Some two or three
months ago, Dry and Longstreet had a
difficulty about q horse, and Dry followed
Longstreet and took the horse away from
him. This difficulty had all been settled
between the men. On Saturday Dry and
Longstreet met at St. Thomas. On that
day they left that place together appar-
emily friends. Longstreet, some time after
their departure, returned to St. Thomas
and told that when he and Dry had reached
the big bend on the Muddy, between the
Maopa Reser vation and st. Thomas, Dry
covered him with his gun, and that
he (Longstreet), to protect his own
life, was forced into killing Dry. A
trial was held by Justice Megarrigle
of St. Thomas, and there being no wit
nessss as to the killing, Longstreet was
acquitted ON his own testimony. Dry was
the owner OF q horse ranch on the Muddy,
and it will be remembered by our readers,
that about four years ago. he killed a man
by the name of Hanly, who was in charge
of P. Kearney's cattle ranch, that adjoined
Dry's ranch. After the killing he went to
st. Thomas and surrendered himself to the
authorities, and like Longstreet, in this
present instance, wal acquitted on his own
testimony. We learn later that there has
been considerable horse-racing down on
the Muddy lately, and that Jack Long
street had won about ST 900 from
rancher. Dry, in turn, won the money
from Longstreet. This explains the whole
matter. Longstreet was at one time en-
gagged in running a saloon st st. Thomas

AUSTIN, New, May 21.-There was q
cloud burst yesterday afternoon. The
water was IS inches deep up the canyon
above town. but il spread ont and did no
damage beyond filing the streets with
filth. There are very black clouds at the
head of the canyon now, and the people
are afraid of a big cloud burst tonight.
The flood gates are all in readiness. The
last cloud burst occurred in August, 1878,
when the country was flooded. There
never was SO much rain known before.
