Over 500 people were at the races Fri
day, and they were well repaid for the
trouble Of going, as the races were
good. Ed Roberts Cotton Maid walked
off with the prize. She was driven by
Ed, who weighs 210 pounds, and was in

The races are over, but the purses that
were hung up as bets on the different
horses, and also the entrance fees, have
have not yet been turned over to the
winners, as the stakeholder Harry AL
len. has suddenly disappeared. 1t was
understood that all who won were to
appear at the NJ &. o. Saturday night
and get their winnings at o'clock At
the appointed time the winners and some
of the losers were there, but the stake
holder was not The minutes slipped by,
and still Allen did not show up. Some
grew suspicious. while others suggested
that he was probably out with the boys.
At last patience ceased to be a virute,
and ]. II. Kelly went before Judge SouIe
and swore out O. warrant for the arrest
of Allen. The warrant was placed in
the hands of Constable Jeffrey, but
thorough search of the city failed to
bring to light the race manager.

One of the most severe storms ever
known in this county took place on the
desert last week. On the Tuesday before
the late storm Messrs. w. c. Foster, ].
c. Cochrane and A. A. Dexter left for
their mines in the Virginia Dale dis
trict. On Wednesday they struck the
severe one. but the journey between
Coyote holes and Warren's ranch was
terrible. The party encountered heavy
snow and a wind blowing a perfect
hurricane. AS they Travelled on the snow
became deeper and commenced balling
up under the horses feet. making pro-
gress very slow. At last they had to
get out and foot 1t, as the horses were
unable to pull them through. Several
times the horses refused to go against
the wind and binding snow. 1t took
six days to make the journey.
Police Officer Carter arrested a man
last night on a charge of passing confed-
crate money, on the landlady of the
Golden State house. He was found in
the NJ. and o. saloon playing cards. When
he saw Officer Carter come in he pulled
his hat over his eyes, but when the Off
Ger stepped up to him he pulled out a
roll of bills and threw them to one side,
but they were picked up, proving to be
more of the bogus money. He claims
to be railroad man.
The Searcey murder case promises to
last many days yet, as more witnesses
have been subpoenaed from Bagdad Am
boy and Needles. The defense have also
several doctors in tow. The prisoner
does not seem to be in the least disturbed
over the outlook.
Harry Kelly. who 1t was thought had
perished on the desert in the recent Sc
we're storm in the vicinity of Virginia
Dale district, has been heard from.
Kelly had been absent seven days and in
that time had only two meals. When he
arrived in camp he was slightly de-
ranged. Kelly's story is that he left
camp on Thursday morning on a pros
pecting tour. In the afternoon 1t COM
menced to snow and he found he had
gone in the wrong direction. The next
day he melted snow to get water and
found some beans at deserted camp.
His sufferings were terrible, and he con-
siders 1t a miracle that he is alive.
The Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republicans will hold their union pri-
maries tomorrow, and the convention on
Tuesday at the opera house. The union
forces are pleased with the Republican
ticket, as it is far from being strong.
