Jefferson King was arrested near Separ last Saturday by Deputy Sheriff Cantley and brought to Silver City on charges of embezzle- ment and horse stealing. He was a teamster who recently left here. He waived examination and was committed to await the action of the grand jury. James Metcalf says that a few nights ago some one exploded dynamite in his Mangas lake and since then probably 7000 dead fish, weighing from half a pound to three pounds each, have come to the surface.

From the May 11, 1888, Issue of The Enterprise Jerry Donovan, of Bald Mountain, met with a rough accident while leaving this city on Saturday last. While ascending Legal Tender hill his horse slipped and fell, the animal roll- ing over the rider three different times. Jerry managed to get home but is so badly bruised that he will not be round again for two or three weeks.
