WARD ITEMS.


The Transpirings Of n Week.
We collate the subjoined items Of inter-
est from Saturdays Reflex:
Sunday morning last, about 5 o'clock,
w. III. Nayior OF the Star Restaurant, had
a close call. On this particular occasion
he proceeded to feed his porcinc quadru-
peds, of which he has quite a number.
One Of the pigs by some means got its
foot fast in the trough and squcaled 'sfor
all that was OUT Billy, as he is COM
monty called, went to the rescue, and was
beset by hogs big and little. He was
knocked down and confronted on all sides
BY mouths that we're opened wide. Billy
| kicked and struck out right AM left, yelled
and did all and everything that a man
| could or would do under like circum-
| stances. He called for his Chinese cook
in a voice there was no installing. Charley,
in D with another Celestial, APP
peared upon the scene inside of ten seconds
and overawed the hogs by a noise that
beggars description. A pack of coyotes
would have skulked away before the cpl
thets turned loose by these two Celestials,
couched in the choicest OF the Chinese
tongue. The porcine quadrupeds turned
to see what new danger beset them, but in
that brief moment Naylor sprang to his
feet, cleared the whole drove at q bound,
and assembled the steps Of the restaurant
closely pursued. The damage: Billy was
quite severely bitten in the right hand,
right leg above the knee, and slightly on
the chin, beside having his clothes nearly
torn off. But for the timely arrival Of the
Johns the hogs would certainly have made
a meal of him.
When they come upon a petrifed tree at
Silver reef they know they are on tie high
road to fortune, and do not stop to ask
why ii is so. Grains are at q discount at
the Reef. Those who go it blind succeed
best, and those who pride themselves upon
being judges Of ore are utter failures. The
rock sharp knows quite as much about ore
in that section as the vcriest ~greenhorn
in such matters. Looks go for nothing.
1t is ascertained by assays only, whether
rock is good or worthless. The way things
are thrown together down that way utterly
battles the geologist.
Last week a man answering to the name
Of James Donohugh, and claiming to be a
brother Of John Donohugh, who was hung
a short distance below town two years ago,
came to Dan Morris stable last week and
hired a horse for the purpose Of going to
Davenports ranch, situated between this
place and Robinson. Later in the day, W.
- tou Cdflit iutO OUht ~ LII q
conversation with Mr.. Morris stated that
he met Donohugh at Robinson. Dan at
once concluded that all was not right,
started in pursuit and kept it up until
within a short distance Of Typo, when
Donohugh took to the sagcbrush aad gave
his pursuer the slip.
Several days ago our aspirant for Sen
atorial honors, d. W. Pcrley, directed
Charley, the Chinese supernumerary
around his place Of business. to grease the
buggy. Charley, thinking to make u bang
up job Of it procured a bottle OF castor oil
and went about the business systematically.
When asked some time later about it he said
Eyes, you come see.'' d. w. took a look
at it and found to his CONSERVATION that it
was we'll greased--cushion, tongue, spokes,
in fact the whole business.
Pat Boyland, a resident Of Steptoe Val
ley, fell off the back steps Of James Lid
dies butcher shop yesterday morning and
received injuries from which it is thought
he will not recover.
The mill of the Martin White Company,
we are assured by Mr.. Farnham, who
represents White Il Allen. the contractors,
will be completed by November 1st.
A small additional force Of men were
put to work on the Paymaster the first of
the present week.
