ALL FULL.
The presence of so many strangers
in town the past few days , attending
the venous woe tings , and especially
the Grand Lodge of GoodTompl.vrs ,
has been very marked , and as a con
sequence , both Houses have been fa
vored by visits , and the -presence of

.
The two E/'ues. Lave -evidently
settled down to the conclusion
that the various committees _ are
going to do the work , as very little
business 'df moment is being done in
either house. They do not scam
averse to taking a recess at any time ,
and are very willing to rest from their
arduous duties on the slightest pre
text , but may be they will find more
work to do when the committees begin
to report. COLFAX.

What a Dawsou County Man
Has to Say Concarning Him
and His Gang.
Says that the Evidence
Already Obtained "Will
Surety Convict them
The fearful crime perpetrated , as
3 believed by I. P. Olive and his men
upon Kotchum and Mitchell is still
ajitating the public mind. A promi
nent citizen ot Dawson county who
mows the whole outfit , and "who is
well posted in regard to the evidence
which will bo produced at the trial ,
stated to a BEEreporteryesterday that
ufricient evidence had boon obtained to
convict nearly every man arrested BO
farand ho has no doubt that they will
not only bo convicted but hung. Ho
was considerably surpriijed upon read
ing the article in The Herald ihOlive's
behalf , and ho cannot account for it ,
and wo may add that there are a host
of other persons who cannot see why
The Herald should attempt to assist
such man as Olive. Our Dawson
county friend says that Mitchell was
regarded a good nnn , and
tint Ketchuni , although ho may poss
ibly have not baen a saint , yet he was
it Christian when compared _ with
Stevens , the brother of Olive. Many t
of the men who are doing the talking
in behalf of Olive are men wli ? are
afxakl 'of him.or -who owe him or
whu4JJC under some obligation to him.

Phil. Dufrand , the young man now
in jail at Plum Creek , who was depu
tized by Sheriff Gill.ui to accom
pany him with Mitchell and
Ketchum to Ouster county , is said to
be the only ouo who stands any
chance of uscaping. He is generally
regarded as innocent , and lias many j

the part of the administration toward

should serve notice on Conklirg that
if nominations now pending were not
confirmed 'hs would call on an extra
session of the Senate aftar the 4th of

for collector and Augustus Schell for
naval officer , and let it bo understood
that it was the Republican Senator
from New York that made this coursa
necessary in order to carry out civil

yellow fever was imported into Now
