A young squaw died died out there recently, but her people claim her death “resulted from illness. He Had a Sack. About twelve o’clock the other other night as Constable Dillon was going to his home on Aristocracy Hill he heard suspicious sounds, and observed a man hastening along the street with a sack of something on his shoulder. The officer overhauled the party and grasped him by the shoulder with the remark, ‘‘I hav2 you now.’’ The prisoner, a well known business man on Commercial street, endeavored to explain how he had purchased nine chickens for his table, had forgetfully left them at the store, and happening to think of them several hours after he got home had gone back after them. He tried to laugh the affair off, but the constable was for awhile impervious to all jokes. He finally relented when the business man offered him one of the chickens provided he would help him take the load home and not give the night’s incident away. ——+ + Geo New Stage Incorporation.

The Dastardly Deeds of a Gang Whose Chief Hailed From this City. No-more romantic story can be found in the realin of tiction than that of the Plummer band of Montana, their ruthless depredations, and their fate at the hands of the vigilance committee, as told by Hubert Howe Bancroft, in the latest volume of his ‘Pacific States ” We glean from it the following synopsis: : Henry Plummer, from whom an.as.Sociation of cutthroats.and.-highwaymen took its name, came to California in 1852, settling for a few years in Nevada City, where as will be remembered by some of the pioneers he was made marshal in 1856. Before his terin of office expired, however, he was convicted of the murder of Vedder, a German, from whom he had alienated hits wife, and was sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment, but, on Lthe plea of ill-health, was pardoned by Governor Weller. Another murderous assault, which ultimately proved fatal, and a stage robbery followed. For the latter he was tried-and acquit ted. Now his record of crime becomes rapidly lengthened; he breaks jail, and assisting in the escape of Mayfield, another . murderer, eventually reaches Bannock, Montana, where a year later, 1864, his notorious career ends. He had eluded pursuit on his way thither through notices that he himself-had published in. California papers of his execution in Washington Territory. In spite of his established character he secured the election of himself as sheriff, not only of Bannock but of Virginia, M.T., and the appointment of his road agents as deputies. Then followed a reign of terror. After they had killed over 120 citizens, and plundered stages, express shipments and private individuals, no one dared to leave or send money or gold dust out of the country. Any one who dared to demur to this order of things, or suggest that the robbers were other than honest men and gentlemen, did soat the imminent peril of life and fortune. Finally on the 13th of December, ’63, when the news of the murder of Nicholas Ibalt reached Nevada City, Montana, the first vigilance. committee of the territory was organized, and left the town. the same night intent on the arrest of the perpetrators of the. crime, resulting in the capture of three of the desperadoes and the execution of the principal, George Ives. 5 The committee did not relax their efforts toward relieving the country of the terrible incubus until about twenty of the most notorious had forfeited their lives on the gallows, among them, the great leader, Henry Plummer, who when brought to realize his fate, begged hard for his life, cried like a child, asked to be chained down, offered to leave the country forever, and declared that he was too wicked to die. In his possession was found a paper describing the band, giving an account of their movements and their future plans. This document contained tha names of eighty members of the foul fraternity. Plummer was the most notorious of Montana des; eradoes, and his organization the most powerful of early times. The majority of ‘these characters died “‘game.” One of them, -Erastus Yager, generally known as Red, with rope round his neck, exclaimed, “Good Lye, boys, God bless you! You are on a good undertaking.’’ Of John Wagner, or Dutch John, it was said that the bravery he exhibited when on the gallows excited the sympathy of his executioners. On the morning of the 14th of January, ’64, Boone Helm, Jagk Gallagher, Frank Parish, Haze Lyons and George. Lane, or Clubfoot George, were hanged in Virginia City. Gallagher appeared to treat the matter as a joke at first, but when fully eatisfied as to its reality, cursed vehemently. His last words were, ‘I hope that forked lightning will strike everyone of you.’’ Boone Helm, looking at the muscular contortions of Gallagher, said, ‘‘Kick away, old fellow; F'll be in hell with you ina minute.’’ Alex Carter, another of the desperadoes, wen told of the convictions and executions, said: ‘All right; not an innocent man hung yet.’? George Shears, who was hanged about the same time, addressed his captors at the time of the execution in the following unique phrasectogy: ‘‘Gentlemen, I am not used to this business, never having been hung before. Shall I slide off or jump off?’ Being told to jump off, he said “‘all right,” and leaped into the air with as much ‘“‘sang froid”’ as if bathing. The execution of Bill Hunter néar the Gallatin river on February 3d, 87, completed the chap= ter so far as the Plummer band was concerned, and the reign of terror was over. Atone time the Montana Vigilance Committee comprised over 1,000 members, exercising sway over ‘the country round the settlements of Virginia, Bannock, and Nevada City, and far beyond. Senator Westerfield's Alleged Strike. State Senator Westerfield of Lyon county, Nevada, has many acquaintances around here. Recently he has been sojourning at Watsonville, Santa Cruz county, and while strolling along the beach has concluded that the sand found there contains gold in sufficient quantities to pay a substantial profit. His tests convince him that the sand found there will run from $5 to $15 a ton, and he has therefore sacked up a lot of it and forwarded it to Grass alley for a final test. If it pans out what he expects, he will build a concentrator at Watsonville. : A Dangerous Practice. Between eleven and twelve o'clock . night before last Constable Dillon was ‘ notified that a teamster named Monroe had left his wagon, with 4,500 pounds of dynamite for the Mabel drift mine at North Bloomfield, standing for the night on Spring street just back of H.C. Mills’s feed stable. The Constable hunted“up nightwatchman Locklin. They found Monroe sleeping at the National Hotel, routed him out of bed, and had him hitch up his team and. haul the dangerous load out of town to the foot of Sugar Loaf grade. There is a city ordinance prohibiting the keeping of over five pounds of dyNamite within the corporate limits, the penalty being a fine of $25 or imprisonment not exceeding ten days. The.-violation--of--the--ordinance--has been a matter of common occurrence heretofore, but from this iime on the authorities propose to strictly enforce it. A slight cause is sufficient to explode such powder, and as a number of drunken men and women were fooling around the load on Spring street Thursday night the town was placed in imminent danyer. PERSONAL MENTION. G. H. Colby, of Dutch Flat, is in town., Warren Green went to Cloverdale yesterday. Wm. McCrindle, of Oakland, was in town yesterday. F. A. Weeks, of Santa Rosa, is visiting his brother at this city. J. B. Atchison, of San Francisco, was in town yesterday on his way u country. 8 + E. W.

Winchester, of Oakland, arrived here Thursday: evening on the way tothe mine near Pike City~in which he is interested. John Brannigan, who resides near the Catholic Cemetery, is-seriously ill. Owing to his advanced age—about 83— it is believed he will not recover. Free Woodman is down from the Rocky Glen mine fora few days’ rest. It is expected thai the mill there will be started up ina fortnight or so, and when it is Free will have charge of it. J. F. McCarthy, the ‘silver-tongued lrish tourist, who combines business with pleasure when he travels, was in town night before last. Yesterday he went to North Bloomfield to look after the wants of some customers there. J. F. Crossett, Grand Patriarch of the Grand Encampment, I. U.0O. F., made the Transcrirt a friendly call yesterday. Mr. Crossett had just returned from Downieville, where he had been to pay an official visit to the Encampment at that place. This evening he visits the Patriarchs at Grass Valley, and Monday evening he will meet Mistletoe Encampment at this city. M. Rosenheim, now of San Francisco, visited the Transcript office yesterday. From 1850 to 1856 he and his brother conducted the finest jewelry store ever existing in this city, their place being’ where Legg & Shaw’s hardware store is. They were burned out by the fire of ’56 and afterwards established a clothing store at the corner of Broad and Pine: streets where Hyman Bros. now do business. The following ladies were entertained by Mrs. Kiuder, of Grass. Valley, Thursday afternoon, at a luncheon given in compliment to Miss Kidder, who is her guest from Syracuse, New York: Mesdames-A.J.Foster, A. D. West, A. B. Dibble, John C. Coleman, R. H. Sink, W.

Dr.Perry Pratt,of Abolition Oil fame, and his son held forth Thursday evening at the corner of Broad and Pine streets, for the purpose of selling medicines of the elder Pratt’s invention. They interspersed their business transactions with some quite good singing, and.thus entertained a large crowd of people. The Doctor claims to have visited Nevada City as early as 1866, and says~he the first man who sold medicine here after thig fashion. His operations night before last were interrupted twice by the Salvation Army procession consisting of four men and two women. The Salvationists could make a great deal more noise than the Doctor, and he “took a back seat” with good grace as long as they were around. cal A Gift for All. _-An order to give all a chance to test it, and thus be convinced of its wonderful curative powers Dr. King’s New phere é for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, will be, for a limited time, ied away.

Richards, proprietor of the New York Hotel, on Broad street, opposite the Theatre, has lately thoroughly renovated and re-furnished this favorite hotel, and made it more attractive than ever. Suites of rooms for families or tourists, fitted up in an elegant or comfortable manner, can be had at very reasonable prices. Also a number of rooms for single persons, which are light, clean and airy. The table is supplied with everything the market affords, and only the best cooks are employed. The bedrooms and dining apartment are under the direct supervision and inspection of Mrs. Richards, whose sole object is to see that everything possible is done for the comfort of patrons. A free -earriage is run on the arrival and departure of trains for, the accommodationof persons patronizing the New York Hotel. Read the advertisement in another column. ——_____++@e o— Another Nevada County Railroad. The Chronicle says: It is stated that the Southern Pacific Company has in view, among other local railway projects, the construction of a line from Truckee to Lake Tahoe, a distance of about sixteen miles. The need of such a road has been urged upon the company some time, but it has never been more apparent than during the present season. There 1sno doubt that by not having a railroad Tahoe has lost much travel that. would have otherwise passed its way. It is stated that a line from Truckee to Tahoe City and along the shore of the lake to Phipps’s will probably be built in time for next season’s travel. It is believed that with a change in the time card to and from San Francisco, so that the trip to the lake could be made in one day, there would be such an increase of travel as would make the line a paying investment. Why He Got Barbered San Francisco Hotel Gazette: ‘‘A Digger Indian has been patronizing a Grass Valley barber shop to the extent of a close clip and a clean shave, and the Union thinks this is a sign that the red man is_ beginning to appreciate the esthetic side of civilization as well as its creature comfort. We think that he was merely anxious to improve his knowledge of the English language and went to the man who would give him most of that article-to the square minute. The amount of language a Grass Valley barber throws in with a cut and shave isa big forty cents’ worth, by itself.’’ ee re Ree Beware of Them. The Treasury Officials at Washington send out the following description of a recent counterfeit: ‘‘A note purporting to be a $2 silver certificate is out inthe northwest, printed froma woodcut and bearing no resemblance to any Government issue of silver certificates.It has a spread eagle on right end face of note and two Indians on left end—one standing, the other kneeling. It has a square,green back, with the word ‘silver’ iw white capitals in center of back. Its workmanship is so very crude no person should be deceived into accepting it as a thing of value.”” —_—_——~-26e oe A Pleasant Party.

About twelve o’clock the other other night as Constable Dillon was going to his home on Aristocracy Hill he heard suspicious sounds, and observed a man hastening along the street with a sack of something on his shoulder. The officer overhauled the party and grasped him by the shoulder with the remark, ‘‘I hav2 you now.’’ The prisoner, a well known business man on Commercial street, endeavored to explain how he had purchased nine chickens for his table, had forgetfully left them at the store, and happening to think of them several hours after he got home had gone back after them. He tried to laugh the affair off, but the constable was for awhile impervious to all jokes. He finally relented when the business man offered him one of the chickens provided he would help him take the load home and not give the night’s incident away. ——+ + Geo New Stage Incorporation.

The Dastardly Deeds of a Gang Whose Chief Hailed From this City. No-more romantic story can be found in the realin of tiction than that of the Plummer band of Montana, their ruthless depredations, and their fate at the hands of the vigilance committee, as told by Hubert Howe Bancroft, in the latest volume of his ‘Pacific States ” We glean from it the following synopsis: : Henry Plummer, from whom an.as.Sociation of cutthroats.and.-highwaymen took its name, came to California in 1852, settling for a few years in Nevada City, where as will be remembered by some of the pioneers he was made marshal in 1856. Before his terin of office expired, however, he was convicted of the murder of Vedder, a German, from whom he had alienated hits wife, and was sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment, but, on Lthe plea of ill-health, was pardoned by Governor Weller. Another murderous assault, which ultimately proved fatal, and a stage robbery followed. For the latter he was tried-and acquit ted. Now his record of crime becomes rapidly lengthened; he breaks jail, and assisting in the escape of Mayfield, another . murderer, eventually reaches Bannock, Montana, where a year later, 1864, his notorious career ends.. He had eluded pursuit on his way thither through notices that he himself-had published in. California papers of his execution in Washington Territory. In spite of his established character he secured the election of himself as sheriff, not only of Bannock but of Virginia, M.T., and the appointment of his road agents as deputies. Then followed a reign of terror. After they had killed over 120 citizens, and plundered stages, express shipments and private individuals, no one dared to leave or send money or gold dust out of the country. Any one who dared to demur to this order of things, or suggest that the robbers were other than honest men and gentlemen, did soat the imminent peril of life and fortune. Finally on the 13th of December, ’63, when the news of the murder of Nicholas Ibalt reached Nevada City, Montana, the first vigilance. committee of the territory was organized, and left the town. the same night intent on the arrest of the perpetrators of the. crime, resulting in the capture of three of the desperadoes and the execution of the principal, George Ives. 5 The committee did not relax their efforts toward relieving the country of the terrible incubus until about twenty of the most notorious had forfeited their lives on the gallows, among them, the great leader, Henry Plummer, who when brought to realize his fate, begged hard for his life, cried like a child, asked to be chained down, offered to leave the country forever, and declared that he was too wicked to die. In his possession was found a paper describing the band, giving an account of their movements and their future plans. This document contained tha names of eighty members of the foul fraternity. Plummer was the most notorious of Montana des; eradoes, and his organization the most powerful of early times. The majority of ‘these characters died “‘game.” One of them, -Erastus Yager, generally known as Red, with rope round his neck, exclaimed, “Good Lye, boys, God bless you! You are on a good undertaking.’’ Of John Wagner, or Dutch John, it was said that the bravery he exhibited when on the gallows excited the sympathy of his executioners. On the morning of the 14th of January, ’64, Boone Helm, Jagk Gallagher, Frank Parish, Haze Lyons and George. Lane, or Clubfoot George, were hanged in Virginia City. Gallagher appeared to treat the matter as a joke at first, but when fully eatisfied as to its reality, cursed vehemently. His last words were, ‘I hope that forked lightning will strike everyone of you.’’ Boone Helm, looking at the muscular contortions of Gallagher, said, ‘‘Kick away, old fellow; F'll be in hell with you ina minute.’’ Alex Carter, another of the desperadoes, wen told of the convictions and executions, said: ‘All right; not an innocent man hung yet.’? George Shears, who was hanged about the same time, addressed his captors at the time of the execution in the following unique phrasectogy: ‘‘Gentlemen, I am not used to this business, never having been hung before. Shall I slide off or jump off?’ Being told to jump off, he said “‘all right,” and leaped into the air with as much ‘“‘sang froid”’ as if bathing. The execution of Bill Hunter néar the Gallatin river on February 3d, 87, completed the chap= ter so far as the Plummer band was concerned, and the reign of terror was over. Atone time the Montana Vigilance Committee comprised over 1,000 members, exercising sway over ‘the country round the settlements of Virginia, Bannock, and Nevada City, and far beyond. Senator Westerfield's Alleged Strike. State Senator Westerfield of Lyon county, Nevada, has many acquaintances around here. Recently he has been sojourning at Watsonville, Santa Cruz county, and while strolling along the beach has concluded that the sand found there contains gold in sufficient quantities to pay a substantial profit. His tests convince him that the sand found there will run from $5 to $15 a ton, and he has therefore sacked up a lot of it and forwarded it to Grass alley for a final test. If it pans out what he expects, he will build a concentrator at Watsonville. : A Dangerous Practice. Between eleven and twelve o'clock . night before last Constable Dillon was ‘ notified that a teamster named Monroe had left his wagon, with 4,500 pounds of dynamite for the Mabel drift mine at North Bloomfield, standing for the night on Spring street just back of H.C. Mills’s feed stable. The Constable hunted“up nightwatchman Locklin. They found Monroe sleeping at the National Hotel, routed him out of bed, and had him hitch up his team and. haul the dangerous load out of town to the foot of Sugar Loaf grade. There is a city ordinance prohibiting the keeping of over five pounds of dyNamite within the corporate limits, the penalty being a fine of $25 or imprisonment not exceeding ten days. The.-violation--of--the--ordinance--has been a matter of common occurrence heretofore, but from this iime on the authorities propose to strictly enforce it. A slight cause is sufficient to explode such powder, and as a number of drunken men and women were fooling around the load on Spring street Thursday night the town was placed in imminent danyer. PERSONAL MENTION. G. H. Colby, of Dutch Flat, is in town., Warren Green went to Cloverdale yesterday. Wm. McCrindle, of Oakland, was in town yesterday. F. A.

Owing to his advanced age—about 83— it is believed he will not recover. Free Woodman is down from the Rocky Glen mine fora few days’ rest. It is expected thai the mill there will be started up ina fortnight or so, and when it is Free will have charge of it. J. F. McCarthy, the ‘silver-tongued lrish tourist, who combines business with pleasure when he travels, was in town night before last. Yesterday he went to North Bloomfield to look after the wants of some customers there. J. F. Crossett, Grand Patriarch of the Grand Encampment, I. U.0O. F., made the Transcrirt a friendly call yesterday. Mr. Crossett had just returned from Downieville, where he had been to pay an official visit to the Encampment at that place. This evening he visits the Patriarchs at Grass Valley, and Monday evening he will meet Mistletoe Encampment at this city. M. Rosenheim, now of San Francisco, visited the Transcript office yesterday. From 1850 to 1856 he and his brother conducted the finest jewelry store ever existing in this city, their place being’ where Legg & Shaw’s hardware store is. They were burned out by the fire of ’56 and afterwards established a clothing store at the corner of Broad and Pine: streets where Hyman Bros. now do business. The following ladies were entertained by Mrs. Kiuder, of Grass.

Dr.Perry Pratt,of Abolition Oil fame, and his son held forth Thursday evening at the corner of Broad and Pine streets, for the purpose of selling medicines of the elder Pratt’s invention. They interspersed their business transactions with some quite good singing, and.thus entertained a large crowd of people. The Doctor claims to have visited Nevada City as early as 1866, and says~he the first man who sold medicine here after thig fashion. His operations night before last were interrupted twice by the Salvation Army procession consisting of four men and two women. The Salvationists could make a great deal more noise than the Doctor, and he “took a back seat” with good grace as long as they were around. cal A Gift for All. _-An order to give all a chance to test it, and thus be convinced of its wonderful curative powers Dr. King’s New phere é for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, will be, for a limited time, ied away.

Richards, proprietor of the New York Hotel, on Broad street, opposite the Theatre, has lately thoroughly renovated and re-furnished this favorite hotel, and made it more attractive than ever. Suites of rooms for families or tourists, fitted up in an elegant or comfortable manner, can be had at very reasonable prices. Also a number of rooms for single persons, which are light, clean and airy. The table is supplied with everything the market affords, and only the best cooks are employed. The bedrooms and dining apartment are under the direct supervision and inspection of Mrs. Richards, whose sole object is to see that everything possible is done for the comfort of patrons. A free -earriage is run on the arrival and departure of trains for, the accommodationof persons patronizing the New York Hotel. Read the advertisement in another column. ——_____++@e o— Another Nevada County Railroad. The Chronicle says: It is stated that the Southern Pacific Company has in view, among other local railway projects, the construction of a line from Truckee to Lake Tahoe, a distance of about sixteen miles. The need of such a road has been urged upon the company some time, but it has never been more apparent than during the present season. There 1sno doubt that by not having a railroad Tahoe has lost much travel that. would have otherwise passed its way. It is stated that a line from Truckee to Tahoe City and along the shore of the lake to Phipps’s will probably be built in time for next season’s travel. It is believed that with a change in the time card to and from San Francisco, so that the trip to the lake could be made in one day, there would be such an increase of travel as would make the line a paying investment. Why He Got Barbered San Francisco Hotel Gazette: ‘‘A Digger Indian has been patronizing a Grass Valley barber shop to the extent of a close clip and a clean shave, and the Union thinks this is a sign that the red man is_ beginning to appreciate the esthetic side of civilization as well as its creature comfort. We think that he was merely anxious to improve his knowledge of the English language and went to the man who would give him most of that article-to the square minute. The amount of language a Grass Valley barber throws in with a cut and shave isa big forty cents’ worth, by itself.’’ ee re Ree Beware of Them. The Treasury Officials at Washington send out the following description of a recent counterfeit: ‘‘A note purporting to be a $2 silver certificate is out inthe northwest, printed froma woodcut and bearing no resemblance to any Government issue of silver certificates.It has a spread eagle on right end face of note and two Indians on left end—one standing, the other kneeling.
