CLIPPED AND CONDENSED.

The Virginia Enterprise tells of Red
Frank Wheeler and Bob Rowland, two |
of our Nevada blondes who went to San
Francisco last week and registered them
selves as from the Black Hills. They
are both naturally ugly enough to pass
for sharps from the line of the Union
Pacific Railroad, and might 10th have
passed for honest miners in the days
when miners seldom washed their faces
or changed their shirts, and for million
aires in those remote days when
strangers wealth was estimated by the
scantlness Of his wardrobe. They
thought il good joke to register them
se lvos as haiing from the Black Hills,
but the next morning. on descending from
their apartments. they found the corridors
of the Cosmopolitan thionged by an
ANXIOUS crowd, all curious to know all
about the Black Hills. Bob told those
who addressed him that Wheeler had
been further into the country than he
had; that if they would but apply to him
be would tell them all about the country,
while Wheeler, with equal assurance,
informed his bearers that Rowland had
all the maps and specimens; and that,
more, he was sent expressly by the Gov
eminent to inform people who wanted to
know, Just what the facts were about
that region. Both finally worked through
the crowd and gained the bar-room.
They took their drink, and then. looking
back at the still waiting company, con-
cluded to go to the Miners Restaurant
for breakfast. Since then the crowd has
been increasing daily, and the blondes
do not go any more to the hotel for
meals. and never go to their beds until
honest men are supposed to be asleep.
They are both talking of dyeing their
hair and putting on clean shirts to dis
guise themselves. Meanwhile, Peason,
OF the Cosmopolitan, is rejoicing that he
has two boarders who never eat at the
hotel. Wheeler says it is Rowland 8
fault, and Rowland wishes Wheeler was
in the Black Hills. sure enough. The
whole thing only shows what gullible
people they are down at San Francisco,
any way.
From the Enterprise we learn that a
suit has been commenced by Charles Fl
Bryan in the District Court for the First
Judicial District, against the Savage
Company, to recover possession of nine
teen and one-half feet (undivided) o
ground, and for $500. 600 for it's deten
ton, and the rents, issues and profits
thereof. The closing quotation of Saw
