AEttai Mistake.

Sheriff Mahan Of Solano County, CAL,
arrived at Reno, Thursday, bringing a
requisition for Lycurgus Orr, who was
arrested on the east-bound train at Reno,
Tuesday. on d dispatch charging him
with murder. The facts in the case as
now developed, go to show that or's
fatal shot was at his friend and neighbor,
Henry waltman instead of supposed
cattle thief. 1t appears that both men
had suffered the loss Of stock by q band
Of Spanish thieves who infest their
neighborhood and on Saturday last, they
agreed TO watch for the scoundrels that
night. They took supper together and
after dark, according to arrangement,
took IL separate course across the ranch
on which the Orr cattle were kept.
Moving about in the darkness, the men
unexpectedly met, and Orr in his excite
ment mistook his friend for Hernandez,
one of the thieves referred to, and fred
heavy change of goose shot into his
left side, inhicting wound from which
he died on Monday. Orr then tied to
the mountains where he was traced by
the officers, and wandering about finally
struck the railroad and took the train on
which he was arrested. Until after the
arrival Of the Sheriff, Orr had all the
time supposed he had shot the Spaniard,
and was utterly prostrated on learning
that he had killed his friend Waltman.

THE BONDED WHISKY Bill.

In the House, Thursday, the question
OF extending the time for the payment OF
the tax on bonded whisky, was discussed,
Willis declaring that failure TO pass the
bill granting the extension, meant bank
ruptcy and ruin to many Of the most
important and influential firms of the
West There had been shrinkage of
100000, 900 in the value Of this ware
housed property. Blount held that the
present depression in the whisky interest
resulted from the over-production. He
did not believe that this bill was going
To Remedy the evil. On the contrary,
an extension would only aggrnvate the
evil. The time is not far distant when
the country would be in a condition TO
repeal the internal revenue taxes. Sup
pose that in 1857 they are repealed. by
that time the taxes on bonded whisky, il
this bill passed, would amount to $780,
100000, and Congress would be asked
to grant II rebate OF these taxes.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.
Competent VeterenSry Surgeons
Oeclare tho lSease not
contagious.


A thorough examination and consulta-
ton by noted Veterenary Surgeons who
came to the infected districts in Kansas
from various States and Territories for
the purpose, has led to the unanimous
declaration by these parties that the foot
and mouth disease, nor other of a con-
tageous nature, exists among the cattle,
as supposed, and they are also equally
positive that they have discovered the
cause of the stock troubles. Not a new
case has appeared for several weeks
among any of the infected herds, Ill
though the weather has been moist and
wet. DIR. Salmon says as soon as he
saw the cattle he thought it was ergot,
and then proceeded and examined the
hay. This had not becn done before,
and they found it contained large
amount Of wild rye, which was full of
ergot. The surgeons all say they never
saw one-twentieth part as much ergot i'll
"A bunch of feed, and the theory is that
the ergot, by contracting the blood-ves-
sells, and otherwise retarding circulation
in the extremeties, caused the feet to
freeze. This ends the great scare.
While it has proved not to be contage-
Gus disease, yet the people of the section
did only what was prudent to do. Find
ing u disease among the cattle which
they did not understand, they reported
it to the Governor. He applied to the
Geneial Government for the best skill
they could furnish, and the Department
Of the Missouri sent an expeit, whom
they fully recommended. The Agricul-
tural Department at Washington sent
another, and their decision has been
published far and wide. While many
did not give full faith to the verdict OF
these experts, it was thought to be the
duty Of the community, in justice to the
people OF other sections, To act in accord
ance with their decision.
The Champion has Il special from Os-
borne, Kansas, announcing that fifty cat
