Scott, Butler, Rich Hill and others, who were attracted there by the announcement that Moore’s Grand Opera House, at present the _ finest in this part of the State, would be formally opened by Golden’s mous theatrical company. At 8 clock Mr. Hoss, of Nevada, was Gptroduced by Mr. Golden, and made the presentation oration by which Mr. Moore was made the re- cipient of a beautiful silk flag as a memento from the peovle of Nevada to him tor his liberality and public- spiritedness. Mr. Moore replied in _aneat and appropriate speech, after which Miss Curns dehyered a comp- | Lmentary address to Mrs. Moore, in behalf ot the ladies of Nevada, thank- ing and praising her fer the taste she had displayed in the management of the ornamentation of the opera “house. The audience, led by Mr. Golden. then sang ‘The Spangled Banner’? and *‘Dixe.”’ This closed the dedication ‘monies, and Golden’s State’ in their usual excellent man- The eveaing’s entertainment ner. ‘was not concluded until after 12 ‘o'clock.

He stopped talking and Mr. Kelly went on around the streets, | trying the back doors of the stores, | as usual. When he came out onto the | square again he was informed that! the drummer in question was highly incensed and had threatened to kill him (Kelly). Mr. K. paid no at- tention to it but went around on _ his beat; while going down the west! side, however, he saw the drummer standing at the Olive house corner, | pistol in hand. He then went back and with Mr. Aylshire went down on the street back of the west side ot the square and came up bythe side of the Olive house. The drummer was stanaing there but did not recog- nize Mr. Kelly, who stepped up and asked him if he was the man that was going to kill the night-watchman. At this the drummer thrust out his revolver, which was a self-cocker, but Mr. Kelly seized it and pointed it aside before it went off. He took his man to the calaboose where he rested until morning, when he was taken before the Mayor and fined fifty dollars and costs—in all amount- ing to $54.60—tor carrying conceal- ed weapons.

Times: Thinking of a few lines trom this part of the world as to how the people *live and what is raised would be of some interest to the people of Bates, I thought I would drop you a few lines. This is one of the greatest wheat countries in the world. We raise from 25 to 75 bushels of wheat to the acre, and from 30 to 75 of oats, barley about the same. Wheat is worth from 60 to 75 per bushel. We have fine timber and an abun- dance of pure water. Land 1s worth from $2.60 to $5 per acre, is rolhiing aud fine for farm- ing purposes.
