Mean Robbers.

Yesterday morning a colored man, who
gave his name as Brown, and who had a
bump on his head as big as a small sized
butte, dropped into the sheriff 3 office and
asked Mr.. Lloyd to send out and arrest a
couple of men at Calvin's station. The
story he told was that he was a cook by
trade, but that failing to get work in Butte
he had gone into Jefferson County and
chopped wood all the winter; that he had
COZ Guided his job, been paid off (tbe
amount he did not say, and stopped at a
saloon near Galvin's ranch to await the
Butte stage. While there he was attacked
by two men, knocked on the head, robbed
of his earnings, and compelled to walk into
Butte. The general appearance Of the man
indicated that he told the truth, and he
was much disappointed when the sheriff
informed him that the place at which he
alleges he was robbed was in Jefferson
County, and that he could do nothing to
aid him.

The New Cabinets Policy.

PARIS, April BIN the Chamber Of Depu-
ties this afternoon Floquet read a state
ment setting forth the policy that would be
pursued by the Cabinet. He appealed to
the united Republicans for their support
and asked them to leave to the
Government the question OF the re-
vision of the constitution. The Minis
try, he said, sincerely desired the adoption
of well considered reforms and the main
tenance of peace. Clemenceau thinks the
programme of the new Cabinet is perfect.
The Senate received the new Cabinet very
coldly. News OF the accession of Floquet
has alarmed the Vatican.

CHICAGO, April Bell D. Kreigh was shot
and instantly killed and Dan BRASIL was
mortally wounded by three unknown men
at 10 O'Clock tonight. Both men were
watchmen in the employ Of the Chicago &
Alton road, and it was their duty to &C.
company freight trains to the city limits
and protect them from car thieves. The
train they went put on tonight was boarded
by three men, and when they attempted to
put them off they drew their revolvers and
began firing. Kreigh fell dead shot through
the lungs, while Brasill was shot through
the lower portion of his body. No arrests
were made.

AnaI may Yet Result in Trouble for Some
One.
A day or two ago the Inter Mountain
was made the victim of a double hoax, in
which the perpetrators no doubt thought
they were smart. In the issue of that
paper OF Tuesday there, appeared an article
presumably obtained from reliable sources
giving an account the alleged at
tempted suicide OF a Mr.. Kinnan at or
near Woodville. In the issue of Wednesday
there was a second article announcing that
there had been a mistake in names and
and that the suicide was Mr.. Noonan
that he had died from his self-inficted
injuries. 1t now transpires that both the
stories were untrue, and were the result
possibly of malice upon the part of certain
interested gentlemen. The story OF the
Noonan death was supplemented by the
statement that he was to be buried yester-
day afternoon. and SO plausible was it.
several OF the Butte friends oi the
gentlemen engaged teams and arranged to
to the funeral. The canard was a con-
temptible one and the end Of it is not yet.

Welcomes Congressional Inquiry.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 3.-Chief Engi-
neer Arthur said to a reporter this evening
that the Brotherhood will be very glad to
see Congressional investigation into the
Burlington strike, as they thought it would
bring the policy OF that company before
public scrutiny and be productive of much
good. Regarding the structures upon the
engineers in a report Of the grand secretary
OF the Conductors Brotherhood, Arthur
expressed a c~ontemptuous disregard for
anything they might say. He was
not surprised at the document, as the
conductors officials had been violently
opposed to the Brotherhood for some
time, first, because the latter would not af-
filiate in any manner with them, and, Sec
ond, because the engineers positively re-
fused to endorse what the conductors were
working for in Congress-to compel licens.
ing conductors and engineers. Arthur de-
MED positively there was any danger OF a
split in the Brotherhood because some of
the radicals are dissatisfied with the con-
sentative policy OF himself and his lieu

jet being to supply Elko with pure

Thin can be accomplished, it is thought,
by piping the water from the springs in

deep enough under ground to prevent
freezing. 1t is snid that these springs
will furnish plenty OF winter to supply
the town, and rs the water is pure md
clear as crystal, and the full sufficient
to give it great pressure when brought
to this level, the enterprise IN one which
will add much to the comfort OF our
