Particulars OF the Affair IS Far
as Investigated.
Daring the past week the rob
berry OF registered letters on the
&c. &C. Postal route has been the
principal theme of conversation in
this city. On account Of the con-
nections Of the parties implicated,
the newspapers rafraiued from cem-
menting upon the matter until
something more deinate could be
ascertaiaed than the thousand aud
one rumors that were floating about
the city. The matter has now
reached thatstage when in justice to
at least one of the parties implicated,
the facts should come out. About
two weeks ago three registered let
tiers were opened on the G.. & C.
Postal route and the contents,
amounting TO $3.50 distracted.

keep strict account of all registered
letters coming through his hands

ana suspended Hawley. His YER
sion of the affair was that Bert Ris

came into the Car at night with a
bottle of whisky and asked Kim to

(Hawiey) was asleep Rising alb
stracted the money from the letters.
Up to the present writing the
matter stands as described, and the
detective stated to an APPEAL re-
porter that he was not able on the
information in his possession to fix
upon the real eulprit. as he had
not seen Rising at all. Rising was
messenger on the train for Wells,
Fargo and was discharged the day
before the postal robbery took
place. These are the facts of the

All Of yesterday afternoon little
band of Piute poker players were
engaged in playing cards on an old
horse blarke: in the rear of Harris
store. One of the most excited and
demonstrative of the lot was a
Young buck about twenty-five
years Of age who was in coastan t
altitude OF beligerancy with his
companions. Finally he sprang up
and made proposition in his ma
tive language which must have
meant bu siness for the
squaws all came crowding
about and the game began again
with great earnsstness. When it
vas over the buck rose to
his feet and deliberately
stripped off his clothes down to an
old cotton shirt. AS he took them
off piece at a time, he cast them
upon the ground with vigorous
dramatic gesture as he filled the
air with the round blasphemy Of
his race. 1t was nearly five in the
evening and very cold when he de-
nuded himself, but he showed no
signs of shiverering and when he
had cast his pants and vest upon
the heap he started on dead run
up Musser street, much to the as
establishment of the people who
lived along the line of that thorough
fare. He was bound for his wick
iup in the mountains and it must
have taken him nearly an hour to
reach there. Few white men would
be SO prompt il paying a "debt of

Benefits Of Advertising.

The subject of advertising has been
more carefully and thoroughly studied
dur...g the past few years than in all
the preceding years, and conclusions
have been reached which are demon
strative. Some of them are these
i. The judicious advertising Of a
good, legitimate business always pays.
sometimes enormously.
2. The best advertising medium is
the live newspaper, bringing as il does
larger returns in proportion TO the
money invested than any other.
g. The best advertising medium for
local business is the most widely cir
culated local newspapers.
1. An old, established business needs
advertising AS well as a new one, be-
cause Of competition, changes Of pop
ulation and the habitual forgetfulness
of mankind.
). To derive the greatest possible
benefit from business advertising IL
should be systematically kept up and
the advertisements frequently changed.
There Is one reason for advertising
which business men rarely consider
its general effect on the prosperity Of
their place. The newspaper goes out
into the world from day to day or week
TO week, as the representative Of its
city, and men judge Of the city
more by the newspaper than any
thing else. II this is newsy and able
and many local firms are represented in
its advertising columns. they assume
at once, and generally correctly, that it
comes from live place-a good place
10 trade in and live in-.and thus they
are drawn thither The effect is not
slight. and the suggestion is one which
deserves the consideration Of every
tradesman.
The above statements have come to
be almost aNioms with the successful
class of business men. and they are act
ing upon them more and more every
year The largest business houses Of
the great cities have long employed
men at large salaric, 10 look after their
advertising. \ gentleman who was
connected with the dry goods house Of
4. r. Stewart stated a few years ago
that the great merchant paid his adyer-
tising man a salary Of 10000 year.
II is well known that he was an eXten-
siyc. persistent and careful advertiser.
and was in the habit Of often announc-
ing special lines Of goods and reduced
prices. His advertising was one Of
the secrets Of his wonderful success.
