prosperity by robbing and killing Nc
Cloud, and the time-piece has been set
back fifteen years for him. In one years
honest labor johnson could have earned
several times as much money as he got
from McCloud. johnson will know all
about this when he gets out. 80. There
was lively chase shortly after dinner
to-day between Thomas Douglass and
man named "Bony" Dever. It seems that
Dever had used language in the presence
of Mrs. Douglass which the husband
thought was not in accordance with the
rules of propriety, and he comes down on
the offender like a thousand of brick
"Bony" took to his heels-and so did
Tom, and they had it "nip-and-tuck"
across town, down past the Company
Field, and on toward the o. S. Depot But

young friends tonight. 80. The Blaine
and Logan Glee Club met tonight and
organized. Shortly after nine o'clock
member of the Club called us up by tele-
phone, that we might hear the first piece,
over the wire. Peculiarly sweet was the
music as it came ringing along the wire,
and the refrain "We're Bound to Gain
the Day." seemed the outpouring of
patriotic hearts, and as the sound came
floating from the instrument seemed like
the voice of Prophecy. We are bound to
gain the day, in spite of red bandanas,
red noses, or anything else. The Glee
Club promises to be a great force in the

John Bertsch arraigned before Mayor
James to-day on charge of keeping open
his rancho and making sales after ten
o'clock at night. When the case came up
for trial it exhibited distressing loss of
memory on the part of witnesses. But
one could remember having bought or
drunk anything after the hour named
Some of the witnesses could not even re-
member who all the men were with
whom they were playing cards. This is
one of the most remarkable cases of loss
of memory, on record. We venture the

the game, the recollection would have
been better. The case was taken under
advisement until tomorrow. Some
coal cars were thrown from the track
near Kyle's Switch this evening, prevent
