TIE highest old aboriginal tooth and
toe nail scrimmage happened to fall
under our ken. yesterday. 1t was in
hole half filed with empty oil cans, old
hoops, ct cetra. between pair OF Plute
bucks. One of them was maudlin drunk
got his whiskey over at Reno. The
other wasn't drunk and didn't know
what the fight was about. Skinner
horn was using his muscle to separate
the belligerents. and when urged by
spectator to let EN- have it out, replied
that he was plenipotentiary Of that af-
fair. He put an end to the humping
and hair pulling; and restored peace by
disarming the drunken red OF jack
knife.

TEE REPAIRs to the Magnolia Saloon
apr zach completion. The sense of
Ion. soneness which has prevailed ever
since the cheerful night lamps of that
popular resort have been withheld from
the belated citizen and wayfarer, will
soon be over. We bestow our approval
upon the taste displayed in the selection
OF the wallpaper there put to use. The
Panels thus initiated give the room
larger look; and certainly it is very neat
and clearly throughout. Those alniable
and exemplary fellow-men. Mark Gaige
and Charley May. will bloom out in re-
rewed splendors, and develope an in
crease of their ever generous hospitality
when the newly repaired saloon is again
thrown open to the bibulous public.
Everybody will be glad when the re-
opening is announced.

MosI TOO CHILLY to be comfortable
last night. They who have set their
hearts on pears and plums and cherries
and apples, grown in Eagle Valley Or
chards Will make early sallies among
their fruit trees this morning. There is
no little occasion for fear and trembling.
Truly the bud buddeth and the blossom
biossometh and the tender fruit roundeth
itself like unto n green and audacious
and succulent pea, with no little temer-
ity. For this is an altitude where the
climate is tickle and capricious jade.
The sober fact of the matter is, it will
be very great disaster if there does
come a frost hard enough to destroy
the fruit hereabout, this year. The
trees are IN the most profuse bearing.
and if the promised crop of pears,
apples, plums and cherries can reach
condition OF ripeness. it will be worth
many thousand dollars-so abundantly
have our people of all classes and con-
ditions planted their premises with fruit
trees.

WE ARE GLAD to note that the Board
of County Commissioners have made
arrangements for repairing the Court
house stairs. Long usage has worn
them very thin-thin as wafer, We
were going to say-bat that's not n

'twould be most too thin. But all
flights of fancy aside, that flight of stairs
is in sad plight and much i'll need Of
the contemplated repairs. We respect
fully suggest to the Board the adoption
of iron or brass protectors to their new
steps like those leading to the second
story of the Capitol. They'd pay, IL
