noticed an old lady, who lives in lower
Gold Hill, apparently In a great state
Of perturbation, with three little SYM
pathetic dogs at her heels, stop our
Town Marshal, Thomas Kelly, directly
In front of the News office, and ha-
rangue him for the space of fifteen
minutes in quite a lively, energetic
manner She had n parcel. done up
carefully in paper. in each hand, and
apparently wished Kelly to examine
them closely. 1t seems that the OLD
lady is the possessor OF a pig ranch,

~. This wa the cause OF her emo
ton, and the parcels contained the

dirty looking powder, and the other n
quantity of ore which she had extract
cd from the porcine ledge, and she
wanted them analysed forthwith.
Kelly, after inspecting them closely

ity, and In turn tent the suspectinS
woman to Dorwln, the assayer. lie
,uinutely examined the two papers by
feeling, smelling, and was urged to

finally informed her that n paper

could not decide upon or analyze the
other. but recommended her to take IL

Office, but did not find him at home,
and the last we SAW Of the old lady she
was slowly vending her way down
street. no doubt with horrible suspi-
clons ranking in her mind, and the
three little sympathetic dogs were still
mt her heels.
