Aevada Prarep Ovr.—Capt. Jonathan R. Davis, the great revolver and bowie-knife fighter, who has been sojourning in our town for a month past, is at last about “played out.” The Captain claims to be the owner of a large tract of land at Rio Vista, and his business here was to induce families to migrate to that locality and settle on his land. He made very liberal offers to a number of our citizens. To one he proposed giving a new cottage, two or three town lots and a smail farm : to another, a large farm ander good cultivation, with good buildings and well stocked; to another gentleman who had failed in business, and was involved to a large amount, he proposed to pay all his debts, and advance an amount of money sufficient to establish him in an extensive liquor business at Rio Vista. The Captain was a stranger in these parts, and having neglected to bring with him a letter of credit, or coin; he was compelled to solicit little pecuniary favors in order to pay his daily expenses, until the money he had sent for should arrive. Among others to whom he applied for money was Mr. C., who for the past two years has been partly dependent upon charity, in consequence of injuries received in mining. Mr. C. had no money of his own; but upon the Captain’s promise to give him an amount sufficient to place him above want, and appealing to him as a native of the same State— South Carolina—Mr. C. borrowed seventeen dollars of a friend, and loaned it to the “chivalric” son of Secessia. For atime, the Captain floated upon the surface of circumstances, and got along swimmingly; but at length his landlord wanted his pay; the Chinaman who washed his shirt, and the negro who blacked his boots, wanted theirs; and under this pressure—more formidable than the thirteen robbers whom he encountered single-handed and vanquished in £1 Dorado—the Captain took his departure. We believe he is now stopping at Grass Valley. Avpitor’s StATEMENT.—The following is the statement of the County Auditor, made up on the 7th inst., showing the total county debt and the financial operations of the county since the 6th of May, the date of the previous report: GENERAL PUND.

LAMBERT, . Oct. 7, 1881. County Auditor, TRIAL OF Myrns.—The case of Warren Myers, indicted for tke murder of Valentine Bran, came up for trial in the District Court on Tuesday. The first day was occupied in empanneling a jury, the evidence was taken yesterday, and the case is being argued to-day, and will be given to the jury sometime this evening. The testimony showed the case to be one of the most cold-blooded murders on record, and the only defense set up was imsanity. He killed his best friend for the most trifling cause, made no attempt to escape, and when subsequently brought in presence of his dying victim exhibted such hardened indifference, that his actions can only be accounted for on the supposition that he was insane. Persons who had known him well never suspected that he was insane; but it was shown that he acted rather strangely « few hours before the murder, and it appears that he has had several attacks of epilepsy. . jury will probably be unable to agree on a . verdict. Tuz Arrray at Soutn Fork.—Andrew Maloney, who was stabbed at South Fork on Saturday evening last, by Thos. Stakum, died . on Monday from the effect of the wound. His . remains were brought to Nevada on Tuesday evening, and buried in the Catholic cemetery . at Grass Valley yesterday. Stakum, who was . $0 roughly handled by Maloney’s friends, is in a critical condition, but the impression is that . he will recover. He is closely watched, and . will be taken into custody as soon as he is able to be removed. New Buryinc Gnounp.—We learn that . the Catholics of this vicinity have purchased several lots west of, and adjoining, the public burying ground, to be used as a cemetery for that denomination. Messrs. Kent & Mackay have contracted to build a substantial fence . ‘round it, and when enclosed the ground will be consecrated in accordance with the rites of . the Church. Co. G. W. Wurraan left Nevada this mor. ning, with his family, for Washoe, with the . purpose of residing there permanently. Cee site = .
