LOCAL. INTELLIGENCE.

couple OF young men arrived IN town
from Utah. One claimed to be butcher,
and the other cook. Adelmann per-
mitted them to occupy building oppos-
lite his butcher shop. Everything moved
along well until last Saturday, when one
of them robbed the till in the butcher
shop. Upon discovering the till had
been robbed, search was made in the
building in which the men had been
sleeping, and where were stored a num-
Der of things. Upon investigation it was
found that these men had taken some
cigars and liquors and offered them for
sale and sold some in town, telling that
one of them had been working for a sa-
loon keeper in Utah, and who being I'M
bic to pay him his wages in money, gave
him the articles that he offered for sale
us part payment. The liquors had been
offered for sale so publicly that no suspic-
the money Saturday afternoon. One of
the men were captured in town Saturday
night, and the other one was captured in
Bullionville, brought up Monday, and on
Tuesday had hearing before Justice
Young when they gave their names as
Edward Lake and Charley johnson and
confessed to stealing about $50 worth of
liqour and cigars, and were bound over to
appear before the Grand Jury. The fol-
lowing day Grand Jury was called and
a bill found against the prisoners for grand
larceny, and on Thursday they We're
tried before Judge Rives, pied guilty and
will be sentenced to-day. The prisoners
will probably be sentenced to term of
one year in the penitentiary.
S. c. WEBSTER left on Monday for
Carson, and we learn that he goes there
for the purpose of contesting the seat of
C. +. Meyers in the Assembly. Both
men are Black Republicans. Webster's
ground for contesting the seat Meyers
holds is that the latter occupies the posi-
ton OF postmaster at Pioche and that he
(Webster) received the highest vote of
the defeated candidates for the Assembly,
therefore is entitled to Meyers place.
Now, let see, should he happen to secure
Meyers place, what he will gain by it:
In the first place, he will obtain the seat
at the closing of the session; and, second
ly, like all Assemblymen, will secure a
bad name. Where does the honor and
glory and profit come in?
WOE unto the poor unfortunate devils
who steal quart of rot-gut whisky and
a couple of boxes of musty cigars. They
must suffer for the crime. But a band
of murderers, who shoot men in the back
and then rob them, are permitted to
roam a portion of this county UNPUBLISHED.
1t is to be hoped that the officers of the
law will succeed in bringing to justice all
the cowardly ours in Pahranagat Valley
who were in anyway connected with the
assassination of Albright or the escape
of the assassin, or the men who have
hauled grain from the dead mans ranch
since his assassination. Lincoln county
is sorely in need of vigilance committee.
WHILE leaving on trip to Calico, at
Bristol, G. R. Barton threw his coat on
the wagon, and pistol fell out of the
pocket on the ground. A shot was dis
charged and the ball grazed the chee,
and ear of Charley Roeden. A man i.
fortunate in possessing little cheek and ;
q small ear at times. Roeden, Barton,
Dick Gordon and Max Jacobs all left fol
Calico, and will be absent about two
months.
A RUMoR got abroad that Ben Taske
was lately seen in the vicinity of Deser
Station. We doubt it; but then there i
no telling at what moment and at wha
spot Old Ben wont turn up. Ben gener
ally turns up in the midst of band o
some other mans stock and lays claim t.
portion of them.
THERE are several of the faithful in thi
county DESTROYS Of taking plural wives
but their first wives objects to such pro
ceedlngs. A few good thumpings will
bring these first wives to their senses
This is the manner in which husband
gain the consent of their wives to tax
plural wives.
