HIS FIRST SHAvE-The Phoebe Weekly
Record of Saturday last relates the story of a
young hoardlings first shave as follows:
While waiting our turn in a barber shop,
the other day, we were witness of the Oper
alton of first shave" for young man who
had screwed his courage up to a barber
chair, and whose downy beard had just began
to overgrow his doubt. As be settled himself
for a shave, the assumption of his inditfer-
ence was very entertaining. He ''peeled"
for the operation, removing with much de-
liberation his coat vest and collar. His head
placed on the cushion rest, he closed his eyes
shutting out the quzzing chances of the
barber and spectators. He silently bore the
fortunes of dull razor selected for his special
benefit, and as the barbarous barber hooking
ly put the query to him, ''close shave, sir?"
he uttered a feeble YES, the farce went on
to the amusement of all. We will not pursue
the painful subject, but the youngster felt an
intense relief when he shut behind him the
barber door.
STRIPED STOCKINGS - Says the Pioche
Record:
The young Mormon ladies of Panaca have
sent to Phoebe 80 stuffed stockings, of no
mean dimensions, with the request that the
boys receive the Lincoln county Legislative
Delegation in an appropriate manner, and IN
a way which they merit, upon their return
from Carson. 1t has always been mystery
to us why such a large number of the Gentle
bucks married Mormon girls, but these stuffed
explains everything. Whoop!
who cares for the decision of the .. S. Su
preme Court. Bring on your Mormon girls,
and we'll marry EN- all ourself.

and was looked upon as misanthrope
b. the country people. Day before
yesterday he procured lot of provisions
and forced an entrance to schoolroom
which had been closed for the season.
On the black board he drew a very good
portrait of Miss Slime, and one of HIM
self by her side.
Underneath the picture he wrote -
"Me love her she no love me-" and on
another part of the blackbo he plac-
ed his obituary in the following worls !:

After making these inscriptions upon
the blackboard he shot himself in the
head and died so quickly that, al
though the pistol shot was heard, he
was dead before he could be reached.

On Wednesday last an article was
published in the REPUBLICAN mention.
Ing the arrest Of Thomas Mcguire and
his resistance to the officers. Mcguire,
1t will be remembered, was used very
roughly on that occasion, for which
considerable fault was found with the
officers who made the arrest. In default
Of payment of $29 fines and costs, he
was taken to New Castle, where he re-
mains As he thinks justice has not
been done him in the reports of the af.
fair, We publish the following as stated
by him to his mother: Hs says that
on Tuesday morning las, hs was on
Water street when officers Mccormick
and Cannon arrested him for interfering
with them in making an arrest some
time previously.
Refusing to go with them they nip
pered him and began to drag him off to
the hall. He says he plead with then,
to release his wrists and he would 20
peacably, but instead Of listening to
his entreaties they used more violence,
and reaching the hall they attempted
to put him back in one Of the cells. He
said they then threw him down, and
while Mccormick held his hands Can
non kicked him in the face several
times. Mrs. Mcguire says that DR..
Black is now attending her son at New
Castle, and he thinks that two of his
teeth and piece Of his jaw bone will
have to come out, and he has not been
able to eat anything nor even suck an
orange, and although he is recovering
he suffers intense pain, and cannot use
either hand from the effects OF the nip
pers.
In justice to the policemen mention
ed the story Of Mcguire is denied by
The Chief of Police and by both officers
Mccormick and Cannon, and II Is said
that officer Mccormick was not present
at all when the arrest was made. II the
story that Mrs. Mcguire tells Is true
there was certainly too much violence
used, and true or false somebody must
be doing some tall lying.
