TREsTLE INJURED BY FIRE.


The trestle on the F. & G. rail-
road over Main Elkhorn, this side
of the Forks of Elkhorn, was found
to be on fire early Wednesday
morning, and it had burned some
of the beams so as to make them
unsafe.
The $3.50 a. m. train only went
a far as the trestle and returned
to this city until the damage
could be repaired, which was done
in few hours. The regular runs
were then resumed.

HELD OVER.

The two young men, Ed Barbour
and Robt. Owens. who were ar
rested, charged with the assault
and robbery committed upon Mr..
Russell Green, near Switzer, last
week. had their examining trial
before Esq. Geo. B. Thomson, on
Tuesday last.
There was a very large crowd of
witnesses and spectators from both
Peaks Mill and Switzer present,
who filed the courthouse.
The Commonwealth was repre-
sented by Messrs. VIM. Cromwell
and Guy HI. Briggs, in the absence
of County Attorney Polsgrove.
The defense by Judge Ben. G.
Williams.
A large number of witnesses
were examined and argument
made by counsel, after which the
men we're held over to the circuit
court in bond of $3.50 each, which
was promptly given and they were
released.
1T seems to be the general opin-
ion that the Commonwealth had
not made out strong case.
