PoLYGAMY IN LINCOLN COUNTY Our
grand jurors have lately been exercised
considerably in regard to the question of
polygamy in Lincoln county, and accord
ingly several parties were duly sum-
moned to appear before them. Among
those summoned were two women sup
posed to be the wives of one individual,
one OF them having child in her arms;
this one was questioned in regard to the
child, asked whose child it was: she said
it was her own; the question was then
asked as to who is its father, the answer
being "none of your business" This
settled the question and so far nothing
has been elected.
RETURNED. j. Mason yesterday re.
turned to Phoebe from trip to Eldorado
Canyon, to which place he went about a
month ago. He reports having had a
very warm and dusty trip of it. The
man with whom he travelled had his ami
NAL give ont in crossing the desert to the
Vegas Ranoh, and got through only with
considerable trouble. The balance of
his trip was devoid OF interest, and he
found affairs at Eldorado Canyon as he
expected to find them. The mill is shut
down for the present, and there is not
much doing there. Mr.. Mason will
start his business again in Phoebe very
shortly.
CoYoTEs. Two coyotes, by some un,
derhand means, obtained entrance into
the Floral Mill during the few days it
was shut down. They were not d,scov.
cred to be there until yesterday, when
the mill started up again; then the noise
OF the battery seemed to brighten them
pretty well, as they could be plainly heard
scamperiDg around under the boards.
There seems to be no chance to get at
them until the battery stops.
