A HoT BooT.-Blank blank the blank
blank boot, was the ordinations made
yesterday morning by one of our honest
miners. His name we intend to keep to
ourself, for he is big, double-fsted fell
low, is limping around with one foot in
a slipper and he is yet in a bad humor.
Yesterday morning he oversight himself
and woke so late that he barely had time
to dress, get his breakfast and be on
hand in time for work. To make mat
ters worse, the night before he had got a
little booty, and in going home his boots
had made acquaintance with good
many mud-puddes. In consequence
they were wet and soggy and bad to get
on. In order to facilitate matters our
friend had recourse to q device COM
mon with California miners in the days
OF placer digging. He got some hot
ashes and Goals, threw them into the
boot, and after shaking them round,
dumped them out before they had time
to burn the boot. Knocking the sole of
the boot against stool, he supposed all
the Goals had fallen out. Immediately
he set to work and with heavy pull got
the boot on. Then the fun commenced.
He danced, be jumped and yelled, threw
himself on q bench and began Juggling
for dear life at the boot. Then popped
out, like the screams of a locomotive,
the interjectional phrases before re-
ferred to. For the boot was damp
and hung to the foot, had gone
on hard and seemed determined to
stay on. At last, off it came, and there
was gulp OF relief from our afflicted
friend and critical examination of the
Zig toe, on the end of which consider
able portion of the cuticle appeared as il
1t had come in contact with some
something not quite as cool as ice. A
critical examination of the boot showed
the cause, which was not merely latent
heat. A coal had been lodged firmly
and when our friend thought the boo
was free, it wasn't SO, and had damned
his toe hard against the liveliest kind OF
hot coal. Result-a very sore foot, en-.
forced idleness, bad humor and resolu
ton In future not to resort to what
doctors call heroic remedies to dry boots.
PACKING OLA poor half crazy
colored woman has been around Phoebe
for some time back. She has been sent
to Beaver, Utah, but managed to return
and has continued to annoy nearly every
one in town. Yesterday some of the
"boys" called her in one of the saloons
on Main street and told her that they
wanted her to carry a can OF coal oil to
the office of the Justice of the Peace on
Lacour street. She readily consented
and was handed the can which was only
filled with water. The handle of the
can was so fixed that it surely would
come out In transitu. She succeeded in
getting to Lacour street in front of the
Panaca Saloon, when sure enough the
handle came out and as matter oil
course the can fell and out came the
water. The poor woman looked at i,
for about minute and thinking tina,
she had liked affairs nicely slowly walk
ed down Lacour street. An admirine
and smiling crowd had been watching
her proceedings expecting the cat
astrophe.
