Tho commissioner, Mr. Dodge, without ad

that the facts would bo proveu by Inquiries

From the New York Sun,
"I’ve often wondered what became of the
Dry Creek Gulch nugget, which had such a
varied career iu the early days of California,"
said Major E. O. Allen, an old forty-niner.
"The last time I saw ft waa In 1858, and then
it was in poHscjislon of Dan Peters in Sun Fran
cisco. That chunk of gold wasn't os valuable
as the famous moonstone diamond, but it was
attended with as much romance, and also bad
its share of tragedy.
"A Mexican miner by the name of Jose Tal-
pan, I think It was, was washing out dirt in a
gulch leading down to Dry creek, Aiuador
county. In the summer of 1853. There were
some Digger Indians camped at the head of
the gulch, three miles from where the Mexican
was delving for gold. One day a young back
belonging to tho camp carne along by where
Joso was washing dirt and throwing up tail
ings, and stopped to watch the process. While
the Mexican was intent on his cradle he at tho
same time kept a suspicions watch on the In
dian out of the oorner of his sharp black eye.
Suddenly, Immediately after ho had thrown
out a pile of tailings, he saw the Indian stoo
down quickly, dart his hand like a flash into
the pile of tailings, make a rapid motion witn
it to tho breast of hia buckskin shirt, and then
rise to his feet ngsln and watch the miner at
work again with the same stolid and disinterest
ed gaze he had assumed before. Tho suspicious
Mexican turned on the Indian and asked him
what he had piekednp out of tlie tailings. Tho
Indian did not reply, bnt, tnming on his heel,
sped up the gnlch like the wind. This was
sufficient to convince the minor that tho Digger
hod found something of value, and he started
in pursuit, drawing his loeg knife as ho ran.
The Indian led the Mexican a long chase, and
was almost within sight of tlie Digger camp
when the miner overtook him, and without a
word drove tlie blade of Ills knife to the hilt
hot ween tho Indian’s shoulders. Tho Indian
fell to the gitound with a fearful yell. Tlie
miner tore open the rod man’s shirt, nnd there
discovered a gnarled and knotted lump of pure
gold, lie seized it, plunged his knife onco
more Into the body of the Indiin, who was
already in the throes of death, and hastened
back to the gulch with his treasure.
"It is supposed that the yell of the Indian
as tlie Mexican’s knife sank into his Lack
callod othora of his tribe to his aid, and that
he was able to tell them what had led to Ills
fate and to describe his assassin, for two days
later Jose Talpan was found dead in his tent,
his body covered with spear wounds, and his

wno nveu wiin omc. sou wno ana wen sent
by him on the morning after the discovery of
tne nugget to a camp at Dry Creek to summon
his brother to the gulch, know at that timo of
the existence of the nugget. The manner
of the Mexican murder was so
clearly after the method of the Digger Indian
then in vogue that, especially after the story
of the nnggot was told, no doubt remained as
1o refab the assassin had been. The murderers
had avenged the death of their brother and re
covered tho nugget that had led to his death.
Jose’s brother and a party of Mexicans started
in pursuit of the Indians, but they found the
camp deserted, and the trail the Diggers had
taken could not be located.
"Nothing was heard of tho nuggut for some
months. Tno news of its finding and the tragic
incidents connected with it spread through tlie
mining camps, and every miner was on the
lookont to get somo clue that might lead to his
getting it in his possession. It was described
os rbsombling ‘a good-sized, long potato, cov
ered with small potatoes in bunchos.’ Sam
Lowell, a reckless and dissipated miner, who
was working earth along the *
and who dumped more dust c
than any other minsf on the
one day in a mining town near hU lost claim,
and on his way to his tent met three Digger
Indians. Sam was riding a mule that
he owned. Tho Indians stopped
him snd wanted to buy his mule. »Re
didn’t want to sell, but at last one of the In
diana stealthily pnlled something from nnder
his blsnkot and told Sam he would give him
that for thonmle. Wlion Sam’s eye fell on
what the Indian had in his hand it almost
knocked him sober. It was tbe long lost po
tato nugget, which had oost two lives otidior
which every miner in the mountains was look
ing. The Indians were evidently very anxious
to part with the treasure, for its possession
was a perpetual ineuace to them wherever
they might go Into the mining country. Bam
dismounted from his mulo. handed it over to
the Indians, and received the nugget. Drunk
as he was, Sam know the importance of keep
ing his possession of tho Mexican’s lost treas
ure secret. AVhonhe reached hjstonthehid
the nugget, and tumbled in to sleep off his
drunk. When he awoko next morning, as
Sam afterward related tho story, he reinem-
•I hunted in every nook and corner in that
claim,'said Bam,'and dug up every inch of
ground on it and around it /or five acres. I
tamed over stones that ordinarily I couldn't
have moved with a mule team, and split hol
low logs euough to supply the whole mining
region with firewood for a month, but I couldn't
find tbo nnggtt, I had made up my mind to
quietly wont my way to ZFrisco with that
knobby lump o r gold and break every bank
In the town, and I was disappointed.
hunted for three days for tho nug
get, and then got disgusted and went
up to Trim's Camp qiul loaded np to
the guards with julco again. The minute I
reached tho wav-up stage I was in the night I
hid the nngget it all came back to me where I
had hid it, and I started for home without say
ing a wont to anybody. For fear I'd get sober
on my way and forget again where my treasure
was, I carried a jug of Trim’s Camp polalon
along with mo and kept my head level. When
I reached tho tent I walked right over to an
old pair of boots of mine, and reaching down
into the legs of one, found my nugget and
pulled her out.
"But Sam didn’t have the satisfaction of
breaking the faro banks of 'Frisco with the
Mexican's nngget after all. For fear that ho
might hide it again and forget where it was
for good, he canted it with nlin, and within
four hours after he found it in his boot he lost
it. That drove Sam to drinking harder that
ever, and in leas than a fortnight after he
traded bis mulo for a nugget he died at Trim’s
Camp of delirium tremens I was at the camp
at the time and helped bury him. It wasn't
nntU after he had lost the nugget that he told
any one about having it, and when he died tho
camp agreed that ns fsr as tho lump of gold
was concerned 'findln’s was keepln's, and ev
erybody became a searcher for poor Sam's lost
nugget. It was about that timo that Dan Be-
ten came that way prospecting, lie only re-
malted there three days, and then went away.
I remained at Trim's Camp a month afterward.
The nugget had not yet been found or beard
of by any one in the camp.
"I went from Trim's to 'Frisco, and the day
I got there I found there was a great furor
over the robbing of a hotel safe, among the
plunder obtained by the robbers being a nug
get of pure gold belonging to Dan Beters. Tho
nugget waa described, and what was my sur
prise to see that it was undoubtedly the samo
nugget that was originally found by the Dig
ger Indian, snd last known to be fn the poo-
seesion of Sam Lowell. Dan Be ter* had evi
dently found the loot lump during his three
days’ stay at Trim’s Camp, and not knowing
anything of iu history, bad wisely said nothing
about tne finding, as it iau't likely that tho
miners belonging at the camp would have let
a stranger come in and carry off, without em
phatic protest, valuable goods that they con
sidered some one of them had the sole claim
to. Dan Beters must have gone away from
’Frisco after the robbery, for lets than two
montli* afterward I was passing by a jewelry
store in Montgomery street, and. seeing a num
ber of people grouped about tlie window and
gazing in with treat Interval at something dis
played there. I stffped and looked m too.
When I *«w what it waa that interested the
cmfil 1 alt'lost jumped out of my 1<oots. It
was nothing more nor loss than the Dry Creek
{ ;nlfb nugget. 1 tot nl inside to see if I could
» am how it came to be iu the jewlcr'a win
dow. The proprietor of tl.c store did not hesi
tate to tell me. Be said it had l wn played In
by a stranger at a faro bank iu the city* month
before, and that it had been purvl.rw d of tho
owner of the Iwotk l»y the jeweler. The latter
waa surprised to hear *bo Hia***- n| the lump.
and said If any person could establish a valid
claim to the uugiret he could have it. No ono
ever had tho opjmrtunity, for tlie Inmp waa
stolen from the jeweler's window by some clev
er thief tho very next day.
“A year afterwards I met Dan I eters
'Frisco, and he was still trying to find the nug
get that lie owned up to mo tie found at Trim's
Camp, but ho had never before heard its histo
ry. Beters was from some place in Illinois,
nnd In 1836 he we went east to his native place
on a visit. Ho waa gone six months, nnd when
he came back he not only had tho long missiug
nugget, but through the gold, had got a charm
ing wife, whom he also brought back to Cali
fornia with him. It seems that toon alter Dan
wenteaAt on his visit he hoard a good deal
about a curious gold nugget that a citizen
ef the town had received from
California. Ono day Dan went to seo the nug
get, and when his gaze fell on it be came neai
fainting, for it was tlie famous long potato
lump ol Dry Creek gulch. Dan said nothing,
but a ked the possessor of the nugget uuder
what circumstances he had obtained the ,J
The citizen said that he had a son in ‘J
who had advanced $250 on the lump
stranger who had called at his office wit
couide of yean before. Dan made up bis
mind that the man who pawned the uuggeft
was tho thief who stole it the last time from
tho jeweler's window. On that visit to the
nugget Dan met tho'younccst daughter of tho
fortunate citizen and fell m lovo with her. He
had plenty ef dust, was a good fellow and he
won tho young lady. Then ho told her the
stonr of the Diy Creek gulch nngget, and she
made her father give iier the lnmp as a wed
ding present. I left 'Frisco in 1858. Dan Be
ters had tlie nugget then, and if he It alive to
day I s'pose he’a got it yet."

Fort Vallky, Oa., August 25.—[Special.j—
In a county adjacent, a negro was arrested on
a warrant charging him with cow-stealing.
His counsel appeared at tlie court-ground,
located beneath the branches ol a wide-spread

thief tied with a plow-line, tho unemployed
end of which was In tho grasp of the efficient
constable, whose countcnanco bespoke an ex

cagor to swear the prisoner into the keeping of
tho county jailer. He swore to having found his
cow in defendant’s cow pen,and claimed by the
accused as his own cow. Several witnesses

that if his client had prosecutor's cow, and
took it an believing It to be his own,that there
was no thsft, bat simply a mistake. The Jus
tice was seemingly slow to accept this view,
bnt after rolling the matter over, gave this
judgment: "The prisoner is discharged, but
tlie cow belongs to Barber." It was suggested
that the ownership of the cow wa^not at issue,
and that it was "ultra vires," to Jeo beyond
simply passing on the warrant. His honor
was firm, and the attorney fearfnl that further
talk might result in a change of tho jud“
mind, accepted the reiterated announce*
of the court, that whatever might tri sak
ultra Tires, he was satisfied that the «0W *bg*
longed to Barber, and would not discharge the
prisoner, unless the right of property was
passed on; and so it was entered on the war
rant, prosoentor and prisoner being alike satis-
fled with the result. *
