MY CLAIM AT ARBUOKLE.
By L. p. WELLS.

Did you know Of the wonderful silver lead
That was found at place called Arbuckle.
1t is much we hear, though little We read
OF the silver mines at Arbuckle
'Tis beautiful spot for poets rhvme
With its chapparal groves, and its slopes of tbvme
(such slopes by the way no mule could climb,
For such is the face of Arbuckle,
But those rocks are rich with their silver store
Those ragged rocks at Arbuckle;
For so said the man who discovered the ore
While climbing the nights of Arbuckle
And said the clerk who took the fee
For recording my clam-'twas a golden V!
But it gave one hundred feet. You see,
In the silver mines at Arbuckle
And sites" and lots were great demand
By the crazy throng at ArbuckIe.
And roads discussed and streets were planned
For the future town of Arbuckle
And rocks blasted and shafts were sunk,
And silver discovered in every chunk
Aud offered, and toasts drunk
To the the future veal of Arbucke
sent rock to have it assayed
From the silver mines at Arbnckle;
And another ten dollars in gold paid
For my claim on the nights of Arbucklei
l heard by way which was roundabout
1t would yield twelve dollars per ton. No doubt.
But twoud cost thirty to take it out
Of the silver mines at Arbuckle!
We gain but our labor for pains
In other climes than Arbuckle;
And searching for hidden poeticdl veins
Reminds much of Arbucke.
So mount your Pegasus while you may,
And imagine you're riding to fame with each lay,
But sooner or later will come the day
When You'll find that poetry does PAY
Like the silver mines at Arbuckle.

A ACoLD-BLooDED, CowAkDLY MrRDER.-A bloody
tragedy was enacted near Lewiston last Saturday
night. Laurence Mcguire, who lived on Dead
wood creek, one mile from its junction with
Trinity river, was shot dead through window
while sitting in his house. Mr.. Peter Quin was
in the room with him reading, VIXEN the brutal
deed done. lie says there was no intimaton
Of danger until the gun was fred. He stepped
up to Magnrc and asked him if be was hurt, but
received no answer, andat the same time noticed
that the charge had taken effect in his breast
He then went to the door, but could see no one.
The weapon used was shotgun loaded with
tuck-shot. This was at O'Clock in the evening
Mr.. Quin carried the news to the nearest neigh
Dor, who Immediately gave the alarm, but the
night was so dark that immediate search was
out of the question. On the following morning
Justice Irwin summoned jury and held an in
quest over the body. The verdict was to the
effect that deceased came to his death at the
hands of some unknown person.
1t would seem that for long time some one
has been intent on taking Maguire's life His
house was fred in the dead of night last October,
he barely escaping death. and the murder was
undoubtedly perpctrated by the same person.
Mcguire was quiet, unobtrusive man, and had
few intimate acquaintanccs even in his own
neighboshood. lie had lived in that vicinity
more than ten years engaged during the time in
mining and trading.
There is no clue to the perpetrator of the foul
act Pity there is not, for man who will take
fellow beings life so unceremoniously is not TO
be trusted, and unfit to live. \ can be

must be a hardened brute who stand respon-
