HORSE THIEVES. Three horse thieves
were taken into camp in Ward Wednes-
day afternoon. says the White Pine Re-
flex Of the Sd, after siege of twenty
four hours or more. One of them, who
goes by the name of Harrington, was
caught in the act of taking the stolen
horses to water, was captured by John
Henry and made to tell where the other
thieves were. Bob Shinn, recently out
of the State Prison, and a man named
Lewis, it appears held the works in the
house almost opposite Metzger's brewery,
had made portfolios and refused to sur.
render. They did though when John
Henry got some giant powder and told
them to take one horn of the dilemma.
They surrendered, and are now on their
way to Hamilton.
On New Years we received a very &C.
ceptable present through the mail. 1t
was very fine pair of gloves. As there
are no gloves of the kind in Phoebe stores
and the envelop contained no postal mark,
we are unable to discover the sender OF
the present. The envelop showed that
1T had not travelled very far, as it was
loosely done up. We entertain slight
suspicion that it was one of those beauti.
full Panaca bellies who favored us.
THERE is to be pie-eating contest at
Eagle Valley on the first of February.
George Moody bets John Hickman five
cows that he is able to eat nine pies with.
out stopping to get his wind. One thing
sure, George Moody possesses beautiful
mouth for pies. The pies are to be of
regular dimension, and there are to be
no pieces of old china or dog collars rung
in on the pie-biter, or Hickman loses the
bet.

He has been up in the north country for

that section and says Butte, Phillips.
burg, and the whole vicinity, are pros.
porous, and that there are multtudes of
people there. Jack looks as handsome
as when he left here and youth appears
to cling to him.
A CoRoNER's inquest was held over
the bodies of Sullivan and Owens on
Saturday, and the testimony showed
that the accident causing their death
was one of those unforeseen circumstances
over which no one had control and none
was to blame.
The mill of the Stormont Company
at Silver Reef was compelled to close
down on the I'd, owing to heavy roads.
The ore teams were unable to get to the
mill. During an ARRAY in Cassidy's sa.
loon lately cornishman was cut, but
not seriously.

panied by Miss Hall, of Eureka, arrived

McQuaig writes out from Canada to Dave

girl, he will send them out one, for they

paper that he picks up: "Those whom
