there is no doubt that the Utes
will finally be driven out of Color
ada. If it is true that the copper
colored fiends who murdered
Agent Meeker also outraged the
three defenceless women whom
they captured. there ought to be
some means of visiting swift and
retributive justice upon them.
The Stewart Castle. as it is call
ed-the palatial mansion erected
here in 1873 by w. M Stewart,
then U. s. Senator from Nevada,
was partially destroyed by fire last
Tuesday night. 1t was the most
costly and imposing private resi-
dence in the city, and all who
have seen it will remember how
much like an immense asylum it
looked, standing upon high
grounds, and looking down upon
other fine residences in the most
aristocratic section of the city. Its
cost was about $250,000, and the
furniture cost half as much more,
in the days when Stewart was sup
posed to be bonanza king.

those who had caused this bond

was regret that a well-trained SER

A Surprise

The Methodist Episcopal parson-
age, in Hedgesville, was visited on
Friday night after Christmas by a
large company of men, women and
children, with baskets containing
groceries, butter, apples, canned
fruits, sausage, chickens, and a va
riety of other articles, among which
two immensepumpkins are deserving
of special mention. All these arti-
cles, and many more not mentioned,
were presented by the company to
the surprised preacher and his fam
lily, who received them with CRATE
full and heartfelt thanks. At a late
hour of the night the happy CON-
pany retired, followed by the graft
tude and prayers Of those whom they
had so kindly remembered. May the
Lord bless the kind donors. S.S.W
