Mr.. ID. b. Powers, who has been in
Colorado for some time, was compelled
on account of ilI-health to return
home. We understand that he has
been quite sick while absent, and that

hope he may soon regain his usual
health and spirits.

IDENTIFY shot himself in the hand, ut the

his paper out on time rather than
wearing out his brains and readers
about some fancied hostility which does
not exist. and never has existed.
1t Is amusing to read the columns Of
the Ners-AdrOcdte of late. "Samp-
son" islthe subject Of nj least one-half Of
its articles. "SampsOn" seems to be
an ogre which is frightening poor little
Johnson out of his wits. With John
son it is Sampson did this and Samp-
son did that. Now he says Sampson
was the party who kept Johnson from
being a delegate 10 the late COnven-
ton from the Third Ward. This is
the first news We have heard of his
being talked Of for delegate, and we
do not believe that he ever was spoken
Of for. the position.
