made his acquaintance, and escorted his victim
TO the ''Conunental,n and thence to the second
floor of the hotel. Here an individual, whom
the stranger represented was tobacco merchant,
stepped up to the stranger and requested him to
paw one hundred and fifty dollars. The stranger
pulled out five hundred dollar bill, and said
that he had no change; then, turning to the
boarder, he asked the loan OF the amount. The
boarder, without suspicion, loaned the money.

operations, and accordingly the SEN
thels were stationed at points on Purse
ley Mountain. A Deer was started on
Tunnel Ridge, and when the dogs were
heard to tongue, the sentinels were
elated with new hope, and each instinc-
lively seized his Gun and brought it up
to position for instant use. But the
Deer snuffed danger in the wind and
struck d course around Horseshoe
Bend, doubled several times on
Pixies Peak, ,'buckled'' ca Larry
Ridge, and finally ran out of SIGHT and
hearing, as did also several Of the dogs.
which have not been seen or heard Of
since, leaving the sentinels to ..chew
the sweet and bitter cud Of disappoint-
ment.
And thus disastrously ended the
campaign. The hunters returned on
Friday without having fred gun, and
reminded us very much Of the Pike s
Peak emigrant, who started for the
golden colorado with high hopes and a
determined resolution expressed ia the
following motto painted on one side Of
his wagon: For Pixies Peak or bust.
and after a fruitless search for the vel
low ore, returned ia short time, in a
dilapidated condition, his motto changed
to read: Busted by thnnder.'
The party returned considerably dis
appointed, but not more SO than the
several gentlemen in town to whom they
had promised q mice quarter of yeni-
son, each. All sorts of excuses were
given for their bad luck, but ..old
hunters are not easily '.gnIlea. :
