Certain papers have been pursuing the
same course toward Secretary Blaine, dur
ing his recent illness that they did in
former tines. They magnify his trouble
indulging in all sorts of unfounded spec
ulations even to the extent that he has
suffered a complete collapse, body and
mind. The people of the United States
have had many indications that the meu-
tai powers of Mr.. Blaine are In good
working order and the latest from New
York is to the effect that he is rapidly
recovering from the effect OF an attack OF
his old enemy, the govt. Mr. Blaine's
enemies have tried every measure in their
power to kill him and to irritate him aud
bis family by circulating all sorts OF ca
nards about him, but it ayails them moth
ing.
A mistaken Idea has obtained in the
matter of the closing out Of business
by Mr.. S. ID. A mold Of this village. This
comes about by reason of misleading
paragraph that has gone the rounds of
the papers. Mr.. Arnold had pursued the
mercantile business for nfty five years
continuously and Is now a man well
stricken in years and for some years has
been obliged to fight a relentless enemy
the asthma. 1t has been hard bait lie
and thousands Of men would have yielded
the field and given up the struggle, but
he has held the fort with indomltable
pluck, snd has been at his post whenever
1t was possible for him to leave his room
Under these circumstances and with the
sharp competition there Is ia the dry
goods trade to-day, 1t was thought well
for him to close out the business and the
assignment for the benefit of creditors
was voluntary one. The agent of one
of the principal creditors informs us that
the property turned over by Mr.. Arnold
ought to cover every dollar of the in
debtedness but forced sale may under
the present condition OF the market,
cause small reduction from 100 cents
to the dollar. Mr. Arnold has made an
honorable record rs merchant In Som
erset County, that any man may well be
proud Of and he is to-day rich In the love
and esteem Of vast number of the PEG.
pie of this vicinity. His kind heart and
generous nature caused him many times
to assist others to his own detriment and
to err on the side Of leniency to those in

Editor Penrose Assassinatsd.

BUTTE (Mont.) June 10.-W. J.
Penrose, editor and proprietor of the
Butte Mining Journal. was shot and
killed by an unknown assassin or
assassins short time after mid-
night last night. The bullet en-
tered the head above the left ear and
lodged in the brain. Mr.. Penrose had
Just left home and was on his way up
town. His dead body was found
about l o'clock by two wayfarers at
the corner of Montana and Galena
streets.
Penrose came to Butte six years
ago from Ruby Hill, Nevada, where
he had run the Ruby Hill News.
After his arrival here he went to work
as miner, but after time he received
support for the establishment OF the
Butte Mining Journal, OF which he
was the proprietor up to the hour OF
his death. He was a member OF the
first Legislature of the State of Mon
tana, for the county of Silver Bow.
He took prominent part in the con-
test which divided that body, ardent
ly espousing the Democratic cause.
Later he was one of the leaders In
opposition to the Eight-hour bill,
thus antagonizing certain elements
in Butte whose advocate he formerly
had been. OF late the columns OF
his paper have given room 10 caustic
criticisms of certain representatives
of labor unions, and still more re-
Gently he ventured on personal allu-
sions to one or two residents of Butte

WAS 1T JOsEPHINEf
Brutal Treatment OF . Lady Mine-
Owner.


SACRAMENTO, June 1O.-Mrs. Vic.
toria Walcott, lady residing in Oak
land, has returned here from visit to
Gold Run, where she went to investi.
gate some hydraulic mining property
left her by her late husband. She
tells story of indignities to which
she was subject while there. She
went down in mine adjoining her
own to look at the situation, and she
says she hardly made her appearance
when she was rudely ordered to leave
the premises. The lady was about to
go when, as she claims, George Betlen
and George Mullon and four other
men made rush for her and dragged
her for a distance of nearly half q
mile, finally dropping her unconscious
near the railroad track. How long
she remained there she has no means
of knowing. On the way her assail-
ants threatened that if she reported
her experience she would be hung.
Mrs. Walcott says that when applied
at the hotel for room and meals she
was promptly refused either Then
she called on some of her, old friends,
but they declined TO supply her with
food and shelter, saying they had been
warned not to do so. Mrs. Walcott
says she was compelled to pass two
nights in the woods, and that when
she applied to the District Attorney
of Placer county for the arrest of the
ruffains she was told that if she had
sympathy with farmers she could not
get justice. The attorney advised the
lady not to have the men arrested,
and she thereupon desisted. Mrs.
Walcott says she is not in sympathy
with neither farmers nor miners; all
she went to Gold Run for was to look
after her interests.
Some peole here seem to think the
lady must be Josephine Walcott of the
now famous Joanna suit. But, we
cannot believe the story above related.
Such atrocious acts may be commit
ted by the ruffains of city, but min
ers would scorn TO thus rudely lay
hands upon woman. Whether "Vic-
toria' or Josephine if the lady
came to this section on such mission
our people would never tolerate any
such indinity being inflicted. We are
are above that grade of human species,
and we hesitate to believe that the
miners of Gold Run degraded their
manhood as above charged.

Indian Revenge.

News from Bridgeport (Cal.) states
that Piute Indian named Poker Tom
had been killed there by Chinaman
named All Tia, with whom Tom had
been gambling. The Walker Lake
Bulletin says the Chinaman gave the
Indians "big eat" and they suspect
ed after the feast was over that they
had been dined on the head, heart and
other portions of Poker Tom, and had
made up their minds to quarter the
Chinaman. All Tai became frighten-
ed and applied to the Sheriff for pro-
lection and was locked up in Jail.
Later news is to the effect that All
Tai assigned all his property to law
yer, was given a preliminary examin-
alton, discharged, and was assailed by
the Indians while on his way to his
store from the Court room. They first
cut one of his arms off and told him
to dance. Scared to death, he simply
uttered fearful laments. Then they
cut the other arm off, when death re-
lieved him of further torture.

A Petrified Forest.

The Silver State says: In the west
ern part of HUMBOLDT county there is
a petritied forest whose trees are of
enormous size. Near N. II. A. Ma

one tree partly uncovered which is
over one hundred feet in length and
fifteen feet in circumference. Numer-
Gus other trees are found in the vicin-
ity which are also petrifed; in fact
no tree living is found there. The
country in which these trees are found
is mostly alkali. The petritied trees
resemble pine to certain extent.
