The officers at Los Angeles have ar
rested an Indian who looks very much
like Joe Pete, the Washoe murderer
He has scar on his neck and his de-
scription tallies exactly with the of
fetal description of Joe Pete. Photo
graphs of the Indian were sent to the
Sheriff of this county. Many people
who have seen them declare they are
pictures of Joe Pete; but Joe Pete was
killed and buried in Alpine county less
than year ago, if some people are not
badly mistaken. The Sheriff has writ
ten to Los Angeles for further facts
and when he hears from there again
he may be able to decide whether Joe
Pete is dead or alive.

agent, absorbed too much corn juice
and created disturbance at the Ritch-

town, but was kept out of the paper at
the.request Of parties at Genoa. But
this week in Genoa Muir became SO
turbulent that he was taken to jail and
compelled to spend several hours be-
hind the bars. The next day he went
to the Valley Springs and there showed
his temper to such an extent that his
wife was compelled to ask the protec-
tion of ]. L, Campbell, the proprietor.
The man was so abusive that Mr.. Camp
bell knocked him down. He left the
Springs for Alpine county, carrying a
black eye.
