at Virginia, let out q contract to a Piute
brave to clean out quite an accumulation
of rubbish in the back part of his resi-
dcnce, agreeing to give him So so for
the job, but not STIMULATING what he
should do with the dirt, only that he
must get it of his premises. This en-
terprising Indian and his squaw pitched
in most iudustriously and made a cap
ital Job of it, getting through before
night. james took o look and was
delighted he never paid wages more
more willingly in his life. All Wal we'll
enough until his next door %ncighbor,
Collins, the blacksmith, came home,
when q new phase in the matter devel-
oped itself. Collins called likes atten-
,lon 10 it. Collins privy is built on
ono line Of that back yard, and the
smar, Piute aforesaid had just simply
opeucd the rear side Of the vault and
dumped all the rubbish into it, filling it
Jam full, and then closed up the hole
again. Ike looked at Collins and Collins
nj him, and the remarks on the occasion
can never be correctly reported. 1t was
no use going after that Pluto /; so Ike
went down town that same evening and
contracted with q night cartman for S25
to come and clean out that vault. No
more Piute contractors for him, If you
please.
