Gold Hi, schools. and Gs.. Grant.


The School Trustees Of Gold Hill
have determined to dismiss the schools
Monday in honor Of General Grant, and
have requested the teachers and schol'
ars to join in the reception. There has
been q misspprshension as to what has
been required Of the schools In this par.
ticular It has been supposed that the
children we're to form here in Gold Hill
and march with the procession to the
Divide, but such q proceeding has not
been contemplated. The programme Is
for them all to meet at the Divide
school. house and get there In any way
they please. There they will form In
procession and march to G street. and
be formed in open order along that thor.
ouehiare, and the procession will march
between the lines. Policemen will be
stationed to prevent vehicles from In
apy way interfering with those lines and
to prevent any one from getting between
the lines and the procession. This will
give all an excellent opportunity to see
General Grant and party and the pro.
cession also; and at the same time the
best Of care will be taken OF the children.
It is q desirable arrangement In every
way and should be fully carried out by
teachers, parents and pupils. as 1t will
best accord with public feeling, with =
due respect to the guest OF the occasion,
and also favor the desire Of the little
ones 10 see General Grant. Gold Hill
is proud Of its schools and Of Its school
children; and nothing should be done oy
either teachers or scholars to lessen that
pride or the interest manifested py the
public either In the schools, or in the
reception to take place Monday.

How MoCook Handled Colorow.
Denrsr Tibums.

cHt AftSs"g
Governor MoCook IL the man who
caused Colorow's deposition as Q chief.
During his administration Colorow and
O band Of Utes came 10 this city and
campsd on the outskirts. One day The
chief sent word that he wanted Q nsw
tent. McCook dispatched an agent Il
see In what condition Colorow's tent
was. and the report was that hs did mol
need Q new tent, and McCook accord
ipgly refused him, In the afternoon,
while the Governor was In his Office,
Colorow came In. half drunk. With q
revolver In bis hand. aud came over to
where McCook was writing and sal
down. The Governor took 10 the sit.
uation at . glance. but did not look up.
"McCook, liar!" said Colorow.
The Governor went on writing.
"McCook, dam liar |" repeated the
chief.
Still McCook continued With his work.
"McCook, Cd d-m liar!" said Co.
lorow reaching 0 climax.
Nevertheless McCook would not look
ct him.
By this time Colorow had concluded
there was no Asht In the Governor and
allowed the hand containing the revolver
to drop to his side. The move was a
fatal one. In an instant McCook seized
the wrist, knocked the weapon away
from him, and catching the astonished
Indian by the neck, kicked him down
stairs and out into the street, where
there were o number Of Utes standing
about. With great tact McCook pointed
to the PROSTATE and humiliated form Of
Colorow, and turning to the Utes said:
"No man to lead the braves. Colorow
an old woman. Get . man for . chief"
Then turning on his heel he walked up
stairs. The next day the mortified Utss
depossd Colorow.
