A Centerville Man Going Home is Robbed

As Duncan McGillis, a miner who lives in
Centeryille, was going home about 10
O'Clock Monday evening after spending the
evening down in Butte, he passed by the
in a low tone tom, oh Tom OF on the
right side OF the road. He went towards
the sound, thinking something might be
the matter. when he saw a figure rise m
and heard a laugh proceed from it. Turn.
ing back he heard footsteps behind him
and ON turning to see who it was be was
by a man with a pistol pointed
at him and Was told to throw up his hands.
he observed the mans sufii.
GENTLY to see that he had u false mustacbe
He complied with tie request wha,
the other party came up and proceeded to
through him. They took everyth,ny
out OF his pockets, and opened his nurse
taking it's contents. They then returned
him all but the money amounting to a few
olla and told him TO be off in y very
u~nceremonious fashion, and he, NOTHING

THIEVES OF ILL KIND.

Butte Infested With a Bad Crowd From
Somewhere.
For the past day or two there have been
quite a number of cases OF sneak thieving
reported U at least one OF q bold hold
up. Among the case of sneak
thieving reported is one which oc-
CURED at the Albemarle Monday
night, the victim being John Jack of the
Mckee Rankin Company. who, on Retiring,
neglected to lock the door OF his room, and
as a consequence awoke in the morning
poorer by a watch aud chain and some
thing over 800 in cash.
On the same night the room of A. w.
Brouse, in the Hotel Holmes, was entered.
his pants taken from under his head and
robbed of a small sum of money thai was
in the pockets.
Still another case occurred on the same
night and in the same vicinity but the
latter was without results. The intended
victim was John Mcguire whose rooms
are in the Grand Opera House. During the
night Mr.. Mcguire was awakened by the
barking OF his dog, but did not pay much
attention to it. In the morning he dis
covered that the doc of his room, which
he is certain he locked before going to bed
had been unlocked. It is probable the dog
saved him some loss but had ne entered
the theft would have got but little money.

Commissioners.

How a Dame Got the Best of the County
Commissioners.
A day or two ago aNcouple of women en-
gagged in a row in the Toledo and one OF
them assaulted the other with a bottle
making an ugly cut upon her neck. For
the crime she was arrested and taken before
Judge Dingevon, who after hearing the
evidence decided that it was b case that
should go to the grand jury, and he ac-
~cordingly ordered that the accused should
give bonds in the sum of $500. The woman
pleaded with the judge for time in which to
secure the bonds and promised that if
she were given given an opportunity they
would be Forthcoming in a short time.
Being in q lenient mood the Judge con-
cluded to take her personal ~recognizaDce
in order that she might hunt up her friends
TO qualify on her bail. Instead of keeping
her promise the woman at once proceeded
to the office OF the county commissioners
told a pitiful story representing that she
was an absolute pauper and liable to be
a charge upon the county and made APP
plication for transportation to Salt Lake
City. The story was well told and as a
result the commissioners acceded to her
request and bought the ticket as desired.
1t was a good trick but probably the
county will save money by it in the end.

THE SHERIDAN REsoLUT1oss.

The effort to make the objections to tn,
reading of the resolutions offered b,
Timothy Campbell, Of New York, Of sym
pathy for General Sheridan an eyidenc,
OF the hostility OF 'rebel" sympathizer,
in the st. Louis convention to the gallant
sufferer is wholly u~nwarrantable. Mr.
Boyle, OF Pennsylvania, had Just pre.
scented a resolution, which was adopted,
10 the effect that all resolutions relating
TO the platform should be referred to the
committee on platform without reading
or debate. Mr.. Campbelrs resolution was
next presented and the Chair decided
that under the resolution just adopted it
go to the committee without reading or
debate. 1t took MIR. Campbell some time
10 explain the nature of his resolution
so as to be generally understood. Finally
when the object of the resolution was
understood by the last objector, MI. Bird.
OF wisconsin, his objection was with
drawn, the resolutions were read and
they were adopted "by a rising vote
with three hearty cheers for
the gallant soldier who is now engaged
in his most desperate campaign" as the
Chicago Herald's report reads. The reso-
lutions themselves were as unfeigned
and hearty an expression of sympathy
and showed as genuine an appreciation
for the services Of the General as could
be passed by a convention composed en-
tirely of Grand Army veterans, and the
method of their adoption disproves the
unworthy %imputation that there wa any
lack of regard for the successful Union
soldier. The spirit of maleyolence that
,ould inspire such a slur on the delegates
o the st. Louis convention as this effort
It misconstruction is of a part with the
'fndictive hate with which the South is /
pursued by Republicans who think In-
'alls the embodiment Of patriotism. !,
whose spiteful disposition is incapable of
ising above ~partisanship Of the most /
hue. By such as these every
Incident is given a jaundiced hue to bear
ut their unworthy constructions, even

hem out. Il

severe reflection ON the business people

A Resignation.

Mr.. James w. Forbis, who was a few
days ago appointed a Justice OF the Peace
to fill the vacancy created by the election
OF Mr.. Lippincott as Police Judge, has
sent In his resignation to the County Com
mlssloners by whom he was appointed.
The reasons given for the step are that his
private business requires all his time and
attention and that he could not, without
neglecting it, properly perform the duties
of Justice. e

AN ExpLoDEp soANpAL.

The Reverend Mr.. Pendleton, of Wor,
cester, Mass, came near proving such an.
other Jonah to the Republican party as
the Reverend Mr.. Burchard did about
four years ago. He is responsible to some
extent. 1t appears, for the unfounded
stories Of domestic infelicity at the White
House which have been given currency
and formed the groundwork of the gross
libel on the President circulated at the
beginning of the st. Louis Convention.
He was q delegate to the late Baptist
Convention that met In Washington at
which he heard the subject Of domestic
infelicity at the White House gravely
discussed among the brethren, and inn
agined that of necessity it must be true
because publicly preached under such
circumstances. This was his grand mis-
take. He knows now that a body Of pro-
fessedly Christian men can talk scandal
just as groundlessly and carelessly as a
coterie Of old tabbies at a high tea. He
went home and repeated what he lad
heard and his g~arrulity and lpquacity
were taken advantage Of by Republican
newspaper scribes to publish damaging
reports about domestic life at the White
House. In a letter to President Cleve-
land humbly apologizing for the injus-
tice he has since found he has done him,
he asserts that a trap was laid for him by
the Republican political managers in
Worcester, and that he was an uncon-
scious victim Of superior reportorial cum
ming. Since the notoriety attending the
publication Of this interview into which
he was entrapped, it has occurred to
him to do what he ought to have
dome at irst-investigate; and Mr..
PendletOn's Investigations result in a
hearty regret on his part that he ever
permitted himself to be betrayed into
being the instrument of disseminating
private scandal. The result of his exam
inatiOn into the reckless charge is his
conviction that he was entirely wrong
and that there'i is no happier married pair
anywhere than the President and his
wife and no more loving husband in the
Land tAa@-laeHaa n!aHelsr md All of this
assure the President of in a fotrto
has been made public. 1t is too early in
the campaign for the Republicans to be-
gin the dissemination of Islander. Above
everything they want to keep their mali
cious untruths from anything involving
Mrs. Cleveland, for the masses of the peo-
pie are too well settled in their mind as
to her being above criticism to tolerate
anything that will disturb the serenity
Of that lady's peace of mind by stating
is not true Of her. The Republican,
managers of Worcester had bet
Ter be alittle more cautious what scandal

boomerang effect than this little contre-
emps and in fact may assume the aspect
