Lassen has her cowboys as does all well regulated counties. Last week they made a raid on the barroom of the Milford hotel, broke up all the furniture piled it in the fireplace and set it on fire, and by way of amusement fired about twenty shots into the lamps and ceiling.

They settled the bill of damages but not to satisfy Mr. Doyle who has commenced suit against them for $1,500.
