very hne and pleasant time at picnic in
the Condor Canyon. There was quite a
large asst mblage Of ladies' and gentlemen
whose numbers were afterwards in
creased by a delegation from Phoebe.
The latter, who happened along by acci-
dent, Were warmly welcomed, and most
hospitality treated by their friends from
Dniiionvlile. Music was ON hand, and
the dancing floor was crowded with dan
GERS. An abundant lunch was provided.
and the edibles and potables could not
complain of neglect. During the day.
Mr.. lule, who was one of the party

dress, and made some very happily con-
ceived and appropriate remarks, which
were received with great favor. Alto

SUSDAr.-Two holidays together was
too much for the boys. The Fourth
passed off with but few family jars. Not

get on their high-heeled boots, and be-
gan to get quarrelsome. In the afternoon
a couple of men adjourned with their
friends to point below Boone a. Dol
mans corral, to settle their differences
with tie aid of bout at iisticuffs. The
boys had several rounds. when their
friends parted them. On the return
from the field of battle, the seconds got
INTO an alteration, and had knock
down on their own hook. after which the
party returned to town somewhat sore,
we expect, but still satisfied.

on the morning of the Fourth. though il
was very small one. 1t was caused by
the casing of some discharged fireworks
lodging on the roof of the Bank Build.

some of the shingles alight. The smoke
and flame were first noticed by the ladies
of Mr.. Hollands family, and the alarm
was at once given. L. Wyatt, the well
known telegraph operator, got on the
roof of the threatened building and soon
did away with all cause for further
trouble.
