raigned before Judge Fisher yesterday
forenoon on the charge of malicious mis-
chief, it being alleged that they cut down
and destroyed a considerable amount of
wire fence on the land of a ranchman
named Thompson down in the vicinity of
Atkins. The evidence disclosed the fact
that some parties who were unknown to
the witnesses who testified were seen de-
stroying the fence. but neither O'Brien or
his wife were identified as the parties who
did the work. The result was that both
of the defendants were discharged by the
court and the complaint dismissed.

One of the boldest burglarles that has
occurred in this city for a long time hap
pened on Sunday and it was of such a
character as to demonstrate the fact that
there are some pretty reckless plunderers
in our midst.
The parties succeeded in effecting an
entrance to the gun store through one of

and this, too, in broad daylight, for the
store was all right in the morning and the

of $3.50.
No clue has as yet been obtained to the

Vetoed by Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The president
has vetoed the bill for the relief of Maj.
Daniel N. Bash, paymaster of the U. S.
army. The object of this bill is to re.
lease Paymastcr Bash from all liability
to the government for the loss by theft
of 81, $50, which was entrusted to him
for the payment of U. S. troops at vari-
GUS posts, one of which was Fl. McKin-
ney, in Wyoming territory. In his veto
message the president says.
"When it is said that this loss can be
charged in any degree to the neglect or
default Of the government, it is answered
that the direct and immediate cause OF
the loss was the omission on the part of
this paymaster of the government, in
whose custody these funds were placed.
of the plainest and simplest acts of care
and prudence. l am thoroughly or
WINGED that the interests of the public
would be better protected if fewer pri.
vate bills were passed relieving officials
upon slight and sentimental grounds from
their pecuniary responsibilities, and the
readiness with which army officers Join
in applications for the conformation of
negligence on the part of their army
comrades does not tend, in my opinion,
to maintain that regard for discipline
and that scrupulons observance of duty
which should characterize those belong
ing to their honorable profession. l can
not satisfy myself that the negligence
made apparent in this case should be
overlooked"

a blow on the head with it that brought
