much desire.
RopEo.-Our friend Mr.. W. G. Glis-
san has recently been taking trip from
his ranch in Rose Valley through Eagle
and Spring, and thence into Hamblin
Valley. Mr.. G. reports the feed in the
last As excellent. The stock are in good
condition and are doing well. The
farmers are busy getting in their crops.
All the barley, of which there is some
considerable breadth. is sown, and they
are now busy with vegetables. To those
who have an interest in the matter, it
will be well to remember that rodeo
will be commenced on the 10th of May
in Snake Valley. We are glad to hear of
the continued prosperity Of the ranch
men, who are yearly increasing in num-
bers and importance.
A MIsHAP. - Yesterday while man
was filing barrel at the spring north
west Of the Courthouse, by some mis-
chance, when nearly full, the barrel fell
off the wheelbarrow and commenced to
roll rapidly down the hill, leaving u
broad watery trail behind it. The man
went for it rough shod, but his impetus
was too great, and he almost fell head
foremost over the truant cask. As it was,
he stopped it by making a wedge of his
fingers, which caused him too use sund-
~ cuss words in most fervent tone.
When we got far enough away we had a
good laugh, but while we were near the
unfortunate hombre we looked as sober
as mule at funeral.
WAR-There was war in the camp
that is the Chinese part of the camp
day before yesterday. There was an i'm
mense deal of jabbering with q small
modicum of fighting. Something in the
proportion of the quantity of Falstaff's
sack to his halfpenny worth OF bread
However, by the Intervention of the
Mclean man peace was restored, and
duly ratified in the Justices Court yes
terday. So now order reigns in China
town.
No STAGE.-Sheriff Travis received a
telegram from Washburn, stating that no
stage would arrive in Phoebe yesterday,
and requesting that no stage be started
from this place for Hamilton to-day.
The reason is, that the road is so bad on
account of ruts, half melted ice, etc,
that it must be shoveled out, in which
L. j, Travis has men busily engaged.
Consequently no stage will leave Phoebe
for Hamilton to-day.
