CHARLEY EXPLAINS. Indian Char
ley called in at our office yesterday
and assumed an attitude of mingled
injured innocence and lofty indigna-
ton. He said he came to demand
an explanation of something that APP
peared in the paper. He did not ex-
actly use that language, but emitted
mixture of Piute gibberish and
broken English that meant the same
thing. 1t is seldom that we are
called upon to make a retraction.
Being somewhat guarded in what we
say in print. those who come around
occasionally to demand redress and
amends have an absorbing interest
for us. We have during several
years experience made it a point
always to receive such characters in
as interesting manner as possible,
and to make the occasion as pleasant
all around as would be compatible
with the circumstances. According
ly when Charley entered with war
mirrored from his features and san
culinary rage flashing from his sable
eyes, he was pointed to an empty
cracker box and invited to sit down.
He wanted to know who it was that
wrote the piece which represented
him rs loser at monte with India n
Bob and as disconsolate and about to
go cut of business. When tie author
was brought face to face with HIM,
unlike the average white man under
the same circumstances, Charley did
not draw revolver and demand a
retraction. He has not yet reached
that high point in civilized life. He
simply said it was ''dam too bad :"
that "some man tell you dam lie
bout me, you put in paper tha's
wrong" Charley continued in peace
full tones: Capt Bob come Silver
City see me two days. Bob he's my
friend, you know. Bob's father, his
name old man Scott-that what they
called HIM. you know-he BEEN my
| friend, too. He died two years ago.
Bob's good boy-sometimes gamble
little, that's ALL" Charley said he
wanted it put before the people that
he never gambled "a cent. What
other Indians might do he could not
he responsible for. So far as he WAS
concerned he was determined To
maintain clear record here and edu-
cate his boy. As we said that, mas
much rs during the ensuing political
campaign, we intend to be fair with
all but unsparing Of the wrong, we
give space to an explanation of his
motives, actions and intentions.

EDITOR TIMES:
Thinking perhaps that you would
like local from the Buckeye State,
/ herewith send you the following
A delegate to the Cincinnati Conyen-
ton from Silver City was recently
visiting some relatives in Southern
Ohio. One Sabbath he went to
church, and being in the country, be
did not expect an able and elegant
sermon, but good old sermon--one
that would bring the memory of
AUD Lang Syne." After service
he walked out and made the follow
ing remark to a gentleman standing
in the yard: "That preacher is rather
light weight, isn't he" The person
addressed replied that he did not
know, and the delegate from Nevada
passed on to the carriage. In the
afternoon he called on some ladies,
his sister and cousin accompanying
him. When they arrived one of the
ladies was out riding, but she soon
came back, and after remarks about
various things, she laughingy said ::
80 you think our preacher is Of
I;,eht ,airbt Ia va, ~
The finale of all this is that it was
the preachers son who took the
young lady out to ride, and it was no
other than the preachers son to
whom he made the above remark in
the church yard. WITNESS.

No EASTERN MAIL.-The reason
why no Eastern mail was received
here yesterday was because there was
big washout on the Central Pacific

repaired soon after it occurred and
the mail will come through all right
to-day, perhaps.

instantly aud badly mutilated. The
rope with which he was tied was
cut in several pieces. 1t is not
known whether it is murder or a

To the Public.

We wish to call the attention Of the Public
to the fact that we are manufacturing buggies
which are second to none in market, and SELL
ing them as cheap as frst-ciass work can
possibly be sold. We are aware that the
country is being flooded with cheap shoddy
work, and sold with no guarantee or with one
that is worthless. No man can afford to buy
poor buggy, as it is an article that costs con-
siderable money. The difference in the cost
between good and poor buggy is of minor
Importance when you connt what it costs to
keep poor buggy in repair. After buggy is
painted no man can tell what it is made Of
it covers nearly all of the inperlections, and
when this cheap shoddy work begins to fail
which is generally the first year; for they can
be made of nothing but the cheapest of ma
terial-they are soon gone, and if parties have
no reliable guarantee they are not safe in buy
ing. We manufacture carriages and buggies
of every style and description. Our work is
all made of second growth hickory, and ironed
with Norway iron, and painted in the best pos
sibe manner, and all we ask is for parties
wishing to purchase to come and examine our
finished work, work in course of construction,
our timber and stock of every description,
and if they do not find everything just as we
represent it, We will pay them for their trouble
and expenses. HOUGH & co.

Alfred Jackson.
From the Galena Gazette.


As was stated in your paper, Alfred
jackson, son of Joseph Jackson, was
numbered among the deceased after
the tornado. He was a fine boy of
fourteen years. He was boy of few
words, but remarkable for his kind
ness toward others. have noticed
him for years, and never in my life
did | see a boy so obliging. The
father has lost his main prop in the
store, as he did most of the errands,
He was very useful around the house
always caring for everything without
being told. His mother, sisters and
brothers will miss him sadly. He was
favorite among his aunts, uncles and
with his grandmother and he was
highly esteemed by his teacher and
The scholars. The village and Sunday
school have lost one of their beet boys.
He was boy that used no profane
language. He was careful and indus
trious. His actions in life show the
cultivation of a good disposition and
worthy of admiration. For some time
before his death, he thought about re-
ligion, and always had desire to be
with religious company, proven by his
own words before his death. He at
tended the meetings held in the Meth
odist church, paid great attention, and
| trust he has gone to the better land.

egates from nine lodges in attendance.
G. w. C. T. Kanouse, J. A Johnson,
State organizer, and Miss Llllie
Robinson, the General Superintendent
of the Juvenile Temple, present and
worked up very successful session.
At the close of the convention twenty
one candidates had been duly inltia-
ted, nearly half of whom were men
who must need our help-great heart
ed men-yet chained by the cup and
their chums till alone and unaided
they must fall by runs potent power.
We look for great good to result from
their present resolutions. The Patch
Grove lodge gave festival on the last
evening of the session which was
hugely enjoyed by about two hundred.
During the session Bros. Kanouse and
Johnson each gave us two public leo
lures and Miss Lille Robinson one.
Both Johnson and Miss Robinson also
remain with US for another public
meeting. Sister Robinson is doing a
grand work for the children and in
the coming generation many will
"rise up to call her blessed" She is
