A Mysterious Boat.

A small row-boat loaded with
circus posters, -four and provis-
ions was found by some Mexlcans
last evening floating down the
river opposite Carson Park. The
boat was caught and taken from
the water last night by the finders,
who placed it ON the bank and
covered the contents with tarpan-
lin to protect them from the dew.
This morning, however, when the
men who had recovered it went to
the place where they had lett it,
the boat had disappeared, and no
trace of it has been seen since.
The ferry and customs othciais
kuoy nothing of the salvage OF the
mysterious craft, which is suppos-
ed to have belonged to some SNUG
plers, having probably gotten
adrift before they had finished
loading it. No doubt the owners
of the boat learned of its being
found and took it away during the
night.
