Tin- Piute War.
Fort MlDermit, April 23, 1880,
The outbreak pf the Piutes north of
this Post, mentioned in your issue of
the 21st, under the heading of “Rest
less Indians,” lias been postponed on
account of the weather,” and the whole
matter has been dropped until later ad
vices shall have been received from
‘ the front.” When these rumors were
received at the Post early in this j
mouth, the military authorities sent
out a scouting party, and took other
measures, to ascertain what amount of
t.uth was at the bottom of the re]>orts,
but utterly failed to find the slightest
foundation lor thorn. No one here lie- j
lieves that the Piutes have any more ,
intention of “breaking nut” than they
h »ve of running Old Wmnemucca for
t) n T
Congress. •
Auntversary Celebration.
Tire Odd Fellows will celebrate the
anniversary of the introduction of the '
Order in the United States at this place ^
next Monday, April 26th, under the ;
auspices of Humboldt Lodge No. 16. j
The literary exercises will be at Cen- .
tennial Hall, where a ball will be given
in the evening, to which the public
generally are invited. I mlonbtedly ,
many members of the Order, from sta
tions East and \\ est along the railroad,
will attend the celebration. Oreat
preparations are being made for the
ball, and the managers will spare no
pains to make it an enjoyable afiair for
all who attend.
Duller Than F.ver.
The blockade on the Central Pacific
Kail load makes times duller than ever
here. There is no communication with
California, and no freight haw arrived
from the West for nine or ten days.
Merchants complain that groceries and
other staple articles, which they pur
chased early in the month in San 1 ran
cisco, are yet on the other side of tne
mountains or in the snow, and as such
articles are bought by thorn on thirty
days time it will be ilitticult for them
to meet their obligations, as the pay
merits will be due about the time the ,
articles are expected to arrive.
Fine Bullion.
Two bars of bullion from the Bullion
of Paradise mine were received at the !
express office yesterday. The bars
wore .991* fine and their assayed value
was $4,32(> o7, of which about 31 HO
was gobl and the balance silver. Ore
which, without roasting, produces bul
lion finer than standard dollars, must
be remarkably free from base metals.
The Paradise \ alley Mining Company
shipped to-day two liars of bullion,
valued at 3H,7<>0.
Brsli:nr<l («» Ills Fair.
c. W. Hymer, the unfort mate youth
who is sentenced to be executed here
next Tuesday, seems perfectly resigned
to his fate. Rev. Mr. Warrington, his
spiritual adviser, says Hymer fully
realizes his situation, yet does not ap
pear to he despondent. He converses
freely about worldly as well as spiritual
matters, and having no hopes of escap
ing the penalty of his offense seems
determined to make the best of it.

The blockade iu the mountains has
been raised, and a train w ith through
passengers and mails from California is
expected to arrive here about 8 o’clock
this evening. Over 2,000 rn^n have

days clearing away land and snow

opening a passage for trails through
the avalanches and crushed suow sheds.
INDIA* RKNONITKANIE.
The Washoe* asking the Governor to
spare the Nnt-plnr*.
The Carson Tribune says that at a
Grand Council of the Washoe Indians
held at Genoa, Douglas county, Ne
vada, on the 11th day of April, 1880,
called to take steps to stop the destruc
tion of the pine-nut trees around
Double Springs and in Pine-nut range
of mountains, it was unanimously
agreed that the continued destruction
of the pine-nut tree would destroy the
source of the food used by the Indians
(they rely to a very great extent on
pine nuts as focal), and by the settle
ment of Carson Valley and Walker
River Valley the supply of game and
lish is to a great extent destroyed; that
in addition the supply of fish usually
got from Lake Tahoe is to a great ex
tent destroyed by white men, leaving
the tribe, embracing about five hun
dred, without any adequate or sufficient
supply of food, and making their living
dejwndent on the charity of the whites.
It was therefore decided, in behalf of
the Indians, to demand that the Gov
ernment stop further destruction of
projierty belonging to the Washoe In
dians, their title thereto not having
been extinguished by treaty or other
wise, or that the Government compen
sate them for the same. The Indians
appealed to Governor Kmkead to aid
them in securing their rights, and the
remonstrance is signed by several In
dian Chiefs ami by Moses Tebbs and J.
If. C'radlebaugh as witnesses. The
Tribune says a petition has been signed
by all the Federal and State officers at
Carson recommending that the Govern
ment take some action to stop the de
struction of the Indians’ bread fields.
(HAS. DE YOUNG MIKDEBED.
Yeung Kallorli Sheets and Kill* Him
In the I hronlrlc Office.
Chas. De Young, senior proprietor
an>l publisher of the San Francisco
Chronicle, was shot and killed last
evening bp I. N. Kalloch, a son of I. S.
Kalloch, Mayor of San Francisco, iu
the Chronicle office. The particulars
of the tragedy have not been received.
It is known, however, that a deadly
enmity has existed between the lie
Youngs and the Kallochs for some time
past, and that Chas. De Young shot
and wounded Kalloch, senior, a short
time before the election in California
last September. What has appeared
m the Chronicle recently relative to
the Kallochs is not known, as no copy
of that paper lias been received lure
for several days, owing to the blockade
in the mountains. Chas. De Young
was one of the most enterprising journ
alists in the United States, and his
death will be a severe loss to the great
l»a[»cr, to the success of which his ener
gies and talent were devoted.

Modoc county, California, is situated
west of the Northern part of what is
called Roop county, Nevada, a strip of
Territory lying lietween Humboldt and
California, which has no county ogani
zation. Alturas, the county seat of
Modoc, is situated about fifty miles
west of Summit Lake in this county.
The Independent, published at Alturas
says the storm which raged there Wed
nesday and Thursday of last week was
the most severe of the whole Winter,
and that it will result in great loss of
stock. The cattle are weak from scanty
feed and exposure and many of them
will inevitably perish. The mails to
and from Alturas are carried on horse
back. The lower end of Hot Spring!
valley is reported entirely under water.
Propoisli Wanted.

for defendant. The defendant asked

The Weather.
We have no weather report from the

the sun shines brightly from between
clouds at intervals.

found an indictment for felony against
Jennie Taylor, for alleged assault upon
J. Fitzpatrick. She gave bonds for her
appearance for trial in the sum of $.*00.

Captain Chase of Portland, Maine, is
regarded as a truthful man. He com
mands the brig Ysidora Rionda, and
writes home from Matanzas that he has
seen a sea serjtent. “It was a few min
utes before noon,” he says, “when I
saw, about '200 yards ahead of us, the
monster rear his head and part of his
body, about 50 feet in all, his head
about 1(5 feet out of water, at an angle
of alxiut 15 degrees,and suddenly dipit
again, which ojieration it repeated thrtje
times ere I lost sight of it. Judging'
from the portion which I saw, the ani
mal could not have been less than 100
feet long, and about the size of a md
lasses hogshead in the middle. |ts
head and jaws had a flat, square ap
pearance, and by no means an inviting
look for a very near approach.”
Sam Patch is outdone by Tom Boyd
a wandering clock tinker. Boyd lately
| found buisness discouragingly dull in
I Kentucky. The bridge across Ureen
! River, uear Munfordsville, is 125 feet ;
i high. He advertised in the newspapers ,
* that, at a certain time, he would drop
i from that structure into the water be
low. He said that he cared very little
whether he lived or not, and therefore
did not mind the risk. On the other
hand he would make money by the
feat, if it did not kill him. The rail
road company owning the bridge ex
cluded him at first, but at length, so
clamorous Vas the multitude, consented
to let him take the hazard. He went
down head foremost, and was not hurt.
A young wife, with one chjld, living
at Jamestown, N. 5 ., was sold to an
other man l>y her husband for $50.
She is now at the home of her prospect
ive father-in-law, waiting for the sou to
earn money to close the contract.
