The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1875-05-24


a fresh consignment of the genus hood
lum arrived in town. Two of them
with that GOODNESS peculiar to the class
visited several of the saloons in town,
and succeeded in getting a drink or two
in each on cheek. In the evening they
went to Doc" Bonner's reasturant,
and putting on more airs than King
Kalakaua, ordered the best the estab-
lishment afforded. Before the order
was filled, however, one of the bar
keepers whom they had victimized
made his appearance on the scene and
explained the situation TO Bonner, who
then and there demanded the collateral.
AS the financial affairs of the hoodlums
did not permit of such an arrangement,
they were denied the privilege of
square meal. and assisted by the
stalwart barkeeper, whose timely ap-
pearance saved Bonner from being i'm
posed upon, they sought the street,
where one of them acted as if on the
fight, until he got around the corner
of the El Dorado Saloon, when he
broke and run like quarter horse
down Third Street. and disappeared in
the distance. Later in the evening he
again made his appearance at a saloon,
aud, we understand, had his head en-
belished with Mansard roof.

HoMEwARD BoUND.-Saturday even
ing last Simeon Woodruff, brother-in-
law of G. II. Nichols, of this place,
called on US. Sim" as he is
4, Familiarity called, left Joliet, Illinois,
in company with party of six for
Pixies Peak in 1859, during the early
excitement in what is now known as
Colorado. Finding Pixies Peak not
what they expected, the party travelled
on across the Plains and located in
Downieville, California, where Sim
has delved in the mines with varied
fortunes most of the time since his ar
rival. Sim is good boy; has travelled
enough to satisfy an ordinary mortal,
and now goes home to remain with the
old folks in their declining years. A
pleasant journey to you, old boy.
FLOUR SCARCE. The Silver State
and Winnemucca FIGURING Mills have
disposed of every pound of -four made
by them last winter and spring, and
there is a scarcity of the article at
present. anal will be until supply
ordered by merchants from California
arrives. 1t was thought last fall that
sufficient wheat had been raised in
Paradise last season to supply the
home demand for -four, and leave
surplus for expectation. Acting on
this belief a good many car loads were
shipped out of the county, and now
good many more will have to be
shipped into it.
