Who struck a prize in the lottery this week? Echo answers who. Railroad Agent Ames, at Red Rock lias "een succeeded by Mr. Frank. The Temperance Lodge had its regular meetiug Wednesday evening. The new hotel near the M. E. Church will be finished in two or three weeks. The Dillon High School will give an entertainment somi time in February, the proceeds to be used for buving books for • school library. Last Sunday, our Glendale correspond •»t writes us, a fire was discovered in H. W. B.own's photo gallery. The bovs put it out before it made any headway. * A sociable will be given bv the Ladies Aid Society of the M. E. Church, at the residence of Mr. Craig Cornell, Friday evening, Jan. 28th. All are cordially in vited to attend. People are asking whether our judicial system is better than the old time methods of dispensing justice. In Harding's case the "mills of the gods are grinding slow" —too slowly we fear. Messrs. Larger and Chapman last week purchased from James Mauldin, of Beav erhead county, two handsome colts, Brün ing and L.S., aged two and four years. The price paid was $1,700 for the pair— Miner. Eastman and Burleigh are examining as experts the books of the several countv officers. I hey are now on the Treasurer's books, and have to go through four years work. So far they have finished three months of it. The heavy snow drifts in Beaver Canyon delayed Wednesday's passenger train from the south. It did not reach Dillon till 9 o'clock yesterday morning. The discon solate lovers stand and shiver at the post office door, waiting for the letter that comes next day. We understand that the teachers here and elsewhere wish Mr. Wylie to be reap pointed as territorial school superintendent. The teachers of this county will as a body request Councilman Batchelder to use his influence to this end. The teachers have a right to be heard in this matter. The only piece of law breaking to report this week is the stealing of some blankets and tobacco from John Hoffman, Wednes day evening. An arrest warrant was is sued, a description of the thief given, and Mulaney set on his trail. Up to this writ ing the marshall is still on his trail. A freight wreck near Buckston delayed the south-bound passenger train on the Utah and Northern several hours Sunday night, at Silver Bow. There were six cars and a caboose ditched, by the forward trucks of a car leaving the track. It was six hours before the track was cleared so that the passenger could proceed. A glance at the packages that daily ar rive at the post office from firms in Chica go, New York, and other large eastern cit ies, will convince any one that too much money is taken out of town by those who benefit it none in return. The retail busi ness done by these outsiders through tha express is much greater. We have positive knowledge that purchasers in many instan ces could secure cheaper rates at home. When a large order is given to these east ern parties, many of whom are mere bro kers buying from wholesale houses as or ders are received, the purchaser is invaria bly cinched. A Sheridan subscriber sends us the fol lowing items of mining news from that camp:—Sam Van Meter has another car load of ore ready lor shipment. It has been but four weeks since he made his last shipment.—D. Me Cran or is running two tunnels of 300 and 400 ft. to tap the lead. He has enough ore on the dump to keep his new mill running for nine months, and intends to start up in the spring.—McCisler is still pushing his works with a force of sixteen men. His foreman Mr. Bush says that they have plenty of ore in sight, and there is no doubt that the "Bullion" will be one of the best mines in the territory in the near future.—Meyers and Bush have shut down on their mine till spring. They have considerable telurium ore which by last as say runs 230 ounces per ton.—Hall and Rossiter have a gang of men working in the Brandon district and on Wisconsin creek, the reports from which are favorable. Walker Walks Out. On last Saturday Governor Hauser par doned Albert Walker from the penitentiary, sent up from this county for grand larceny, for a term of five years. He had already served 3 years and three months of his term, and would have had but 6 months more to serve, as subtracting the time al lowed by the statutes for good behavior for a term of 5 years leaves 3 years and 9 months. His exceptionally good conduct induced the Governor to restore him to full citizenship. Walker was convicted of the crime of horse stealing Oct. 12, 1SS3, and it is re called that a lighter sentence would have been imposed, but for a remark he made to the court. When the judge put the usual question to him whether he had anything to sav in his own defence, he said, -'No, but I don't see why I should be punished, and »he ringleaders go free." The judge replied, "Oh, there is a gang of you then," and sent him up for five years. What Walker really meant was that he was not a professional horse thief. Inter Mountain: A singular find for this district has been made in the Sy ndicate mine, a short distance southeast of the townsite, a six foot body of galena ore hav ing been encountered, some of which as says over 50 per cent, lead, besides carry ing some gold and silver. Lead ore is rare in this district. HARDING RESPITED. Tin* Prisoner Reprieved for Thirty Days by the Governor. Last Monday, Governor Hauser granted a reprieve of thirty days to Harding, the Glendale stage robber, who was to have been hung to-day, in order to permit his attorneys, Campbell & Duffv, to apply to the Supreme Court of the United States for a new trial. The prisoner's counsel will proceed shortly to Washington, to present his case before the L\ S. Supreme court, though there is little hope that the court will take the case under consideration, and Harding's attorneys themselves think that their only chance of success lies in a writ of certiorari. Harding's counsel have been most per sisttnt in their efforts to save him, and though the prisoner himself is without money, it is said that they are backed by wealthy officials in New York, where Harding's people live. In case the U. S. Supreme court take the case under con sideration, it is probable that the President will grant a further reprieve. The Helena Independent says that appli cation has been made to Governor Hauser for the öfter of a reward for the apprehen sion and conviction of the second man in volved in the crime of which I larding is convicted. There was an accomplice with Harding at the time of the shooting, and he has never been apprehended. It is rumored here that some clue has been ob tained to the robber, and it only remains for the authorities to offer a reward to in sure his arrest. A Mule! A Mult-! We are in receipt of a letter half a yard long, from a resident of Big Hole Basin* writing under the euphonious and sug gestive nom de plume of "Korn Kob," com plaining bitterly that "Q. Cumber," our correspondent at that camp, in reporting in his last letter that "Mat Waldo lost a fine mule," came wide of the mark. "Korn Kob" contends most emphatically and eloquently that though Waldo did lose a mule, the animal was not of that breed to merit any such epithet as "fine." He says that he has the most irrefragable proofs that "that 'line' mule was nothing more than a very, very small mustang mule that no doubt crossed the plains many, many years before that long slim Q. Cumber was able to climb h'gh enough to show his head above the tiniest little bunch of tan weeds." Between two such judges of mule flesh as "Korn Kob" and "Q Cumber," we dare not take sides. It seems to us, however, that if ever the adage, "there is no disput ing about tastes" were applicable, it is in this case. A mule is such a changebie, elusive thing that one can never be sure of any estimate of him. Viewed in front while he is in the act of getting away with a bushel of oats, the mildness of his eye suggests the docility of an Arabian steed; looked at from the rear, it takes but the mere handling of his tail to ascertain that he is but a "mustang mule." Besides, ac cording to the best authorities, when one connoisseur pronounces an animal blooded, it is never in order for any one to flatly contradict the statement. That kind of thing is never done in the best circles of the sporting fraternity. But after all, Q. Cumber, in writing the epitaph for that mule may have been acting simply from the principle, taught even by the ancients : "Of the dead, nothing if not good." THE SCHENCK CASE. The Relator to Appear Before the Su preme Court. Last Saturday, the Supreme Court of Helena heard the argument in the matter of the application for a writ of habeas corpus, made by Harold Schenck's coun sel. The prisoner was represented by Mr. Robinson, of the firm of Robinson and Stapleton, and the Territory by county At torney Barbour. The point of dispute was whether the first hearing before the Probate Judge was held upan sufficient ex amination of the testimony given at the Coroner's inquest. Mr. Barbour submit ted to the court the affidavit of Coroner Hickman that his inquest documents had not been filed till the Hrobite Judge had admitted Schenck to oail. The court took the case under ad visement, and on Monday the relator was cited to appear before the court on January 24th (next Monday). Masonic Installation.
