UNION COMA great many storie.
have been floating around lately abou
remarkable incidents connected with the
rise in Bodie stock. We had q simila,
incident occur in Phoebe in regard te
Union Consolidated. Some time since G
miner. who was about leaving this camp,
and being indebted to Nesbitt & Brother
but not having any ready cash, brought
to them certificate of tive hundred
share of Union Consolidated stock,
which, after soms-haRgling. they agreed
to take at the then market price, 8. so.
shortly after taking the stock they had
an assessment to pay, and wished that
| they had let their customer kent his
stock. for they thought it was like throw.
| good money after bad, but they paid the
assessment and couple of weeks ago
sold the stock. cleaning up cool SIS, 600
on the transaction.
TRYING TO EvADE THE LAVA new
dodge of trying to evade the payment OF
the travelling agents license came to
light last week. The mercantile houses
which the traveller represents, when he
Is about to start out on q tour, sends to
each merchant in the town which the
agent will visit postal cards announcing
the fact, requesting the merchants to
favor him with their orders. When the
agent arrives at the place and walks into
store he does not solicit, because the
soliciting has already been done by the
Nan ErQnniaoo l,,k "a
merely collecting AGENT" and then if
an order ia handed him he thinks he is
. X. The Sheriff, however, soon I'm.
deceives him on this point.
HEIDED THEM WRoNG.-At q ranch
about twenty-five miles from Phoebe,
there was stopping a gentlemen for a
few weeks past who was spending the
vacation time. Time hanging heavily
on his hands sometimes, he thought to
make himself generally useful, and in
pursuance OF that idea, one afternoon
whist the young man, who generally
drove up the COWS at milking time, was
busy, the gentleman thought it would be
good idea to go out and herd the COWS
in. He did 30 and succeeded in bring.
ing in lot of them, which. on exsmine.
ton, were found to be the COWS that
were not being MIXED about that time.
he thinks he will do better the next
time he treis.
Young MEMS SocIAL.-The members
OF the Young Mems Social Club gave the
FIRST dance OF the season on Tuesday
evening last at Browns Hall. The party
was given earlier in the season than WAS
intended. but owing to The proposed de.
parture of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. q. Day, the
members made up the dance so that they
would have the pleasure of that lady's
company previous to leaving Phoebe.
Six sets danced at one time, making the
party very agreeable and not too crowded
for comfort. After about sixteen dances
the company wound up the ball about
one o'clock Wednesday morning.
Board IT Up.-some parties passing
the old Raymond & Ely Office on the
side Of the mountain, seeing number of
the window panes broken, had the ouri.
osity to enter the building. Upon an
examination they found that some mis-
chleyous, devilish children had been TO
work--broke windows. tore the paper of
from the wall and did such other damage
as they possibly could. Any one leaving
buildings unoccupied should take the
precaution to board up the windows and
doors, thus preventing children from en-.
tering and destroying property.
WITHDRAWN. IS. G. Steele, whose
name was published in last SATURDAYS
RECORD as candidate for State Senator.
desires his name Withdrawn, as he saws

desires members of the party to quit
nghtlng and fussing in regard to his
residence or non-residence, and to de-
