He will return in few days to Nevada
to spend the winter with Mrs. Pierce
and family, and Ills three boys will
probably accompany him Mr.. Lake
has b. en- resident of this county so
long that he is now regarded as one of
its pioneers. There is not man in the
county who will gaiusay his honesty or
integrity. Now an old man, it is gra-
liication to know that he has family
who will look after his comfort in his
declining years
Last Saturday, a sheepherder claim
ed he was "rolledp willie lying asleep
on card table in Sloper's booze joint
in DeLamar, and getting into scrap
over the matter, was run in by the
sheriff and locked up over night Sum
day he came to Silver and filed com
plant against barber named Wendall,
whom he accused Of rolling and robbing
him of $25. Wendall had skipped, but
was arrested at Murphy, brought back
here and an examination held by the
Probate Court on Tuesday There were
number of witnesses examined, the
trial running through all day Tuesday
and portion of Wednesday. But the
Judge decided that there was not sutfi-
cient evidence produced to justify hold
ing him for the District Court
The District Court, which was con-
vened here last week, the docket gone
over, trials set and jury ordered and
summoned, and a recess taken until
Yesterday, is now again in session, with
Hon. E. L Bryan presiding. The jury
was empaueled, and the first case put
on trial was that of the State VS.. Quack-
enbush, charged with robbery. The
trial lasted all day and was given to the
jury in the evening, and after an all
nights session and no agreement had
been reached, the jury was discharged
this morning and the case will have to
be tried again. AS there are three more
criminal cases, aud one or more minor
civil cases on the docket, the court will
probably continue in session the greater
part of next week.

Teachers Institute.

The teachers institute being held here
this week, conducted by Professors Kra-
mer of the Silver City and Simmons Of
the DeLamar schools and attended by
nearly all of the teachers employed in
Owyhee county, has been the most sue
cessful and instructive one ever held
here. We have been promised full
account of its proceedings from some
Of the teachers which we hope to get
and publish in our next issue. We can
this week do little more than publish a
roster of the names of the teachers in
attendance with slight comments upon
what has been done, promising it with
the remark that the teachers assembled
are a bright and clever gathering of
young people who appear TO take great
pride in their occupation. The roster
of the teachers here is as follows:
Prof. H S. Simmons, DeLamar; Mrs.
Jennie Farrer avery, Dewey; Prof. W..
II. Kramer, Silver City; Iva II. Clute,
Murphy; Nevada Rogers, Oreana
Carrie Chapman, Enterprise; Generya
Hibbs, Reynolds; Perley shattuck,
Bruneau; J. A. Hensley, Hot Spring I;
Mrs. ]. A. Hensley, Hot Spring; Leila
E. Tracy, Homedale; Susie Ketner,
Black Jack, Margaret Downs, DeLamar /;
Gertrude Deary, Pleasant Valley; Annie
Keenan,, Silver City.
Miss Keenan,, the amiable ana prac-
tical instructor of drawing, makes her
subject so fascinating, that the teachers
regard her session as one of the most
pleasant aud profitable periods of the
institute. She has the qualifications Of
true teacher, and inspires her pupils
to do, by doing.
After very interesting lesson on
drawing and painting, Thursday NOR
n!ng, she sketched profile OF Mr. Shat
tuck, which, although it fiattered him,
served to illustrate what can be done
and what is expected in the public
schools.

A Quiet. Happy Wedding.

In the presence of only few of the
more intimate friends of the family, a
happy wedding took place at the Eome
of Mrs. Mary Swan, silver City, last
Saturday night, r. S Hawes Esq Of
ficiating, when Nliss Elizabeth Playford
OF Kent, Washington, was made the
wife of Charles NJ. Caldwell of Silver
City.
The young lady, who is niece of
Mrs. Swan, visited her aunt aud other
relatives here during the summer, and
the groom wooed and won her at that
time. The bride arrived here, accom-
panied by her mother, according to ar
rangements, the previous Wednesday.
AT the wedding there we're present,
Mr.. and Mrs. James Beaton Sr., grand
parents of the bride, her mother, aunt
and uncle, James Beaton, her cousins,
Mr.. and Mrs. Andy Swan, and few in
vited guests.
After the ceremony and fluctuations,
dainty refreshments we're served and a
tumultuous crowd outside was greeted
and treated by the groom as is the usual
but reprehensible custom of the place.
The happily united couple have taken
up their residence in the former Gabriel
home, which Mr.. Caldwell purchased
and had improved and furnished in an
tieipation, where they may now be
found "at home" to their many friends
and sincere we'll wishers

POTOSI.

Timbers and lumber are now arriving
for the new mill to be built at the Po-
tosi mine; the grading for the mill has
been completed and beginning has
been made at setting its foundation.
In the mine a start has been made at
sinking the shaft from No. 2 level to a
greater depth. Mr.. W. F. Sommercamp
who was here last week aud fled deed
for the property, from the heirs of the
Sommercamp estate to the Potosi Min
ing company, has returned home, and
will probably pay visit East before re-
turning here. It is not probable that
any more ore will be stopped from tile
mine until the mill is completed.
Superintendent j. E. Masters left for
Boise this morning, on business con
nected with the mine.
