LOST HIS ROLL.
4 Vienna Man Loses, or Is Robbed Of
5000.

The wild rumors concerning the
loss OF considerable sum OF money
by Mr.. Krouse, of Vienna, will be set
to rest by the following statement Of
Sheriff Furey:
ION May 10, 1885, c. w. Tatro,
nlghtwatchman, brought one Krouse
to the Jail about 2 o'clock a. M,
krouse being very drunk. Jim Flu
rey, the regular jailer, was over at
the new hotel and a new man on duty
that evening during his absence. The
new man opened the Jail and Mr.. Ia
tro and he placed him in the Jail and
locked up the gate to the main en-
trance. Ny orders are not to open
the Jail or 60 inside during the night
for anything unless it be in case of
hire, except there be two men, one to
stand at the gate and one to go in.
One of the old prisoners was awake
at the time and spoke up about fur
nishing Krouse with bed.
Next morning when l learned
krouse was in jail l found Don Nc
Kay, who said that he would be re-
sponsible for Krouse's appearance if
he was required, or any complaint
lodged against him. After Krouse
got out he claimed he was short 5000
in currency. He claimed he had 5000
in one flap of his pocketbook, and
$50 in another place. He still had
the $50, but not the $500. He said
when he awoke during the night he
was lying on the floor beside the bed
in one of the cells. He took a candle
that was yet burning and looked
around after missing his pocketbook,
(Which he says he had carried in his
pocket). He found the pocketbook
in the cell few feet from him. The
$500 were gone.
In two or three conversations with
him he has said to me that while he
thinks he had the money when he was
brought to Jail, he will not swear to it
because he was very drunk. 1t i:
customary to examine parties brought
to the Jail for articles that may be or
their persons, which we take care O
until the parties are released. Ii
krouse's case this precaution was &C
cidentally omitted by reason of the
hour, his condition and the absence oil
my deputy as before stated.
| have made and still am making
thorough search of the Jail, bed,
prisoners and premises, with the hop,
of finding the money. So far, excep
about three or four dollars in silver,
have found nothing and | don't know
that the silver found belonged t
Krouse." Who got the cash?

That Dead Animal.

To THE EDITOR OF THE T1MEs:-
The source of the water supply is In
dian Creek, and no dead animal or
other deleterious substance has been
found in it. The ditch iu which the
dead animal referred to in your paper
was seen is the river canal or ditch,
which has not been used since last
fall. That ditch is being thoroughly
overhauled and cleaned, and after this
shall have been done the river water
will be turned into the pipes for the
summer. w. T. RILEY,
Manager Alturas Water Co.
HALEY, May 20, 1886.
The TINES never said a word
about a dead animal in Indian Creek.
1t stated the fact that a dead animal
was IN the ditch above town (which
has been and is sgain to be used for
supplying water to Haley. The
carcass was there and is there now,
for aught the TINES knows. This

AFTER condemning the vituperative and

the most complaints at the degenerate charac-
ter of modern political warfare" This com
ment can be appreciated in all its bearings

If the Sentinel's proposition be correct, that
the troubles in the postal service are caused
by the IS per cent. of Republican clerks, who
are trying to bring a Democratic administra-
ton into contempt, for the sake of common
sense and Of the public dismiss the clerks at
once and put in Democrats. If Democrats
can make better postal service than Repub-
licans let us have them. In all events what
the people want is decent postal service.
That there is not now; and everybody of COM
mon sense, excepting the Sentinel, knows the
reason to be that incompetent, unfaithful,
ignorant persons have been thrust into gov
eminent employ as a reward for their political
services.

JOHN F. CLARK, man prominent in business
in New York city, but having his hons in Brook
lyn, is complainant in a suit for divorce and
bases his petition on the ground that his wife is
excessively cruel He says she weighs close to
two hundred pounds, and that she is muscular
in proportion while he is of dminutive stature
and not able to defend himself against her as
sauts. He is ingenious enough to state in his
complaint that she literally tears the clothes off
him, and that she then, not to put too fine a
point on it, spanks him. This is more than any
court will let him endure It may not be against
the law as interpreted, literally, but it certainly
is not in good form, to say the least No true
hearted helpmeet will spank her husband. She
may throw things at HIM and make it generally
torrid around the premises, but she will not
lower herself in her estimation by spank
ing him,

THE beauties Of the boycott are being dem
onstrated in various ways almost every day.
The latest exposition of this altogether lovely
scheme was made in New York city few days
had his business ruined by the boycott of the
Undertakers' Association, the displeasure of
which he had somehow invited. A poor fam
lily had called on member of the association
to perform the necessary work looking to the
interment of the remains of deceased father.
The family being unable to pay on the day of
the funeral, the undertaken, backed by the
power he had in the association, rudely took
the body out of the coffin and drove away with
the casket, leaving the remains, thrown like
so much rubbish, on a sofa. The distracted
family then applied to boycotted Caden, who
undertook to perform the services that the
other had refused. To do this act of humani-
ty he had to have third party buy the casket,
as none of the association was allowed to have
any dealings with him. So itappears that the
Infamous boycott is welded not only by labor.
but by the meanest kind of money corpora
tons in business. the evident purpose being
to have an iron grip on such people as are so
unfortunate as to have death in the family and
are without means to pay the funeral expen-
ses in advance.

thing of sensation was created in the mug

that the appointments named would consti.
tute q blot on the administration if the mis-
takes were not rectifed. Excepting in sim

sistency with the assertion that the corrupt con-
dition Of politics in this State rendered it
impossible to carry out his principles here;
but that reform with big r was fourishing
like gree bay tree in all other parts of the
country. So long as no one took the trouble
to investigate. this statement was safe enough;
but now that list Of the thieves, thugs peni-
tertiary graduates. ballot-box suffers, and
other ornaments Of the Democratic party who

made out, the apology for the President will
have to be revised by adding fOhio, excep-
ton No. g" 1t is appalling to think, how
ever, of the effect upon the mugwump intel
lect should the investigation proceed, and
other States show up in the same unpleasant
light. With their stubborn determination to
see no defects in the man whom they selected
as the exponent of their own pure and lofty
views. they will doubtless cling to him until
the returns are in from the last Territory; but
there is reason to fear that the effort to hold
him up as a reformer-al already something of a
strain-will destroy their mental balance in
the long run. And it may also be remarked,
that they will have to do a power of lying,
to which that already achieved is as nothing.
The sympathy of the country is with them in
this affection, but, nevertheless, some heart
less curiosity will be felt as to what State will
next be investigated as to its reform record.
