people who generally cause an Indian
scare. A week since one Latapie, .
Frenchman. and o man named John.
ston. left here to 60 to the mountains
west Of Phoebe for the purpose Of cutting
wood. The first day out, as they were
engaged in cooking their dinner, they
observed at distance band of Indians
on horseback. moving in their direction.
They Immediately Imagined that the In.
dams looked hostile, and without further
ado dropped the work OF cooking and
harnessed there horses to the wagon, got
in and drove off at full speed, making
their way towards the eight-mile house,
constantly looking back to see If the red
men were nearing them. In short time
they discovered that the Indians we're
gaining on them. 10 they jumped out OF
the wagon, left the team standing IN the
road. and made for the sagebrush. re.
solved to save themselves even though
the horses did perish. They stsid bid IN
the brush for couple Of hours. and see-
ing no signs of Indians, made their way
to the eight-mile house, where they inter
viewed Hazeltine. who, in answer to
their queries. stated that a band of In
dams had passed by. engaged in moving
their wickiups to another quarter. and
after considerable talking be managed to
calm their fears and encourage them, 80
that finally the two men went back on thu
road with him and procured their team
That is all there was OF 1t. Latapie and
his friend don't want the news to get out
how they made such narrow escape
from band of hostiles, so We will say
nothing more about it.
LOOKING TO THE Cosrs. -We are pleased
to note that the new Justice of the Peace
is turning his attention to the enormous
cost bills that are presented at his cour,
on appeal cases. On examination into
an appeal Case the other day il was found
that over $40 WAS charged for subj 1ning
three with. sses, mileage, ETC., was
in town. Tn Sc charges we're cut down
to the proper amount and the case ap-
pealed with thu reduced charges. Ac-
tons like this will tend TO give people NJ
idea that they will not havr TO pay out
small fortune to do little business in
the Justice Court.
