We made statement few days ago upon
street information, that one of Travis
Bro. Is double teams became fractious and
ran away. We have since learned that the
team in question was a span of bronchos that
had been hitched up only once before and
were being broke at the time to travel in
harness, for party in this city, and not
team belonging TO the livery establishment
of Travis Bros. We make this correction
with great pleasure, for it is n fact we'll
known that this establishment are unusually
careful in letting customers have teams that
are perfectly safe and quiet. and we have
.1fa frrr hair oh lo
running away, except by carelessuese of the
driver.
PERsoSAL.-We clip the following
from the Salt Lake Reporter of the 23d:
professor W.. 8. Keyes, of Helena, Mon
tana, called upon us yesterday The Profes-
sor is travelling in the interests of science as
well as for enjoyment, and as he is the lead
ing mineralogist of Montana our friends will
find him posted on the rocks-we don't mean
money exactly, but as to where the raw ma
terial can be got for that very desirable artI-
Gle. As he will remain with US some days we
hope every courtesy will be extended him,
and all facilities in case he should want to
investigate our mineral resources. BY the
way, couldn't our citizens hear from him In
public way on the subject of minerals 1t
would certainly be interesting, and, we think,
profitable"
