Pleased Over Arrest.

The police officials are greatly pleased
over the arrest of Saunders. for at one
time It was thought that the assault was
to be as of mysterious a character as
that upon Mrs. Dennis. The reward of
$50 which had been offered by Major
Sylvester for the arrest OF the assailant
will probably go to Armstead Bush, the
negro who claims to have chased Saun-
ders the morning after the assault was
committed. and who aided materially in
his capture.

made, Battle Mountain will be left off
