HERETOFORE.

The trouble a. Broadford is as far
from settlement as ever before. Yes
terday afternoon Hon. John NJ. Can.
nady received three urgent requests
one of them from acting Governor
Curtis-to 90 to Bellevue to act as
one of a committee on arbitration. He
went down and--returned TODAY,
disguised. There was no proposition
to discuss, from either side. A com.
mittee of miners was there, as were
the committee of FIVE citizens; but
there was nothing to act on.
MEN STOPPED THIS MORNING.
The men going to work at the
Queen, this morning, were stopped by
Union men, on the Broadford road,
and turned back. A number of dep
uties were thereupon ordered to escort
the men to the Queen-which was
done, not Union man interfering.
The Minnie Moore men had been
allowed to go on unmolested, and are,
of course, at work.
GENERAL BRisBIN's RETURN.
Brevet Brigadier General Brisbin
returned this morning on the train,
and went on up to ketchum. He
was dressed in full uniform, (last week
he came in civilians dress,) and was
accompanied by his adjutant and two
non commissioned officers. He ex.
pressed himself as ready to act. Tie
General and staff returned from
ketchum on the train, General Bris-
bin going on to Bellevue, while Lieu
tenant Wilson stopped at HALEY, to
await the Generals orders.
THE MARsHAL's MOVEMENTS.
Acting United States Marshal Rob.
bins went down to Bellevue this after
noon, to serve some jury summonscs,
and will return to Haley tonight.
Tomorrow he will leave for Atlanta,
on similar Grand. He has no time
to lose, as he must be in Boise to
make his returns within two weeks.
Being interviewed by TINES re-
porter about the probability of his
taking charge at Broadford, he said
he did not expect to be called on un.
less martial law were declared. Then
he would undoubtedly act. Some ] 1
or 10 years ago, while acting Marshal
he was required to queli disturbance
in Owyhee county. He went alone t.
the place where the armed men were
congregated. Many of the face.
around him were of intimate friend:
whom he had known for years. H,
told them it was no use to resist, reat
the riot act, and commanded then
to lay down their arms ane
disperse. Tears Of vexation spran!
to the eyes 'of some of them, but al
laid down their arms. On the grount
they made pile of guns four fee
wide, three feet high, and II to q
feet long. Mr.. Robbins then procured
two lour-horse wagons and hauled tn
guns to Silver City, where they wer
cached. The same evening the con
, tending parties met in the streets O
Silver, and fought with small arms a
short range. Several men were killed
AT 4 o'clock the next morning Unite
States troops marched into towr
planted their cannon on War Eagl
5 mountain, and peace was etfectuall
: restored. The riot had given Silve
City her death-blow, as the camp ha
never been worth continental since
t Property values have long since bee
wiped out, and the place is almost a
