keeper had an unlimited number of those
false bottomed things at his command, the
gentlemen withdrew to the Office Of Squire
Osborn and swore out warrant for the
barkeeper's arrest. lie appeared before the
Squire but took an appeal to Justice Ohm
sted Here each Of the customers prefer
red charge against the beer glass shooter
and after hearing the evidence the Justice
assessed fine against him of five dollars
and costs for each otfense. This was the
most reasonable fine that could have been
assessed against him, but since he had
taken an appeal, the costs caused it to
amount to nearly thirty dollars Not hav-
ing a sufficient amount of the "gilded
god" about his pantaloons, Mr.. Barkeeper

entering it Mayor Thistlewood RENTED

for the payment Of the balance the gentle
manly beer glass throwef was permitted to

paths of peace and that throwing beer

Mr.. j. A. Woodson, for a number of
years an attache of the Illinois Central
railroad here, has been out west for the
past four months, prospecting among the
mines and mountains of Colorado. He re-
turned day or two ago and, like all other
travellers from a distant land, he has some
very interesting things to say. The coun-
try being situated so much higher than
that in which he has been accustomed to
reside, there is n decided difference in the
state of the air, which seriously affected
his lungs, causing acute pains
in those organs and hoarseness
in the throat. These effects
he says, are only felt by persons whose re-
splratory organs are perfectly healthy. The
same are having an exactly contrary effect
upon invalids, suffering from weakness Of
the lungs. But while the land lies high,
the thermometer is low and snow is in
some parts from five 70 fifteen feet deep.
The people are mostly men whose chief
occupation is mining but who vary the
monotony occasionally by using their rifles,
pistols and bowie knives in killing game,
time and Indians. Every man is armed
with two seven. shooters, rife, and belt
of cartridges, and red skin needs only to
be seen to be shot, aud vice versa
The reason of this state of
affairs is that about five thou
sand emigrant wagons, each guarded ty
about four men and loaded with provisions
and mining tools, are waiting and threat
ening to cross the line INTO the Ute reserva-
ton, where rich deposits OF gold are said to
be imbedded, which line is guarded by the
Indians themselves and the government
troops But while these miners disregard
the Just claim of the Indians to their reser-
vation honor among themselves, is as COM
mon as is gambling 1t is only necessary

lead and steel if necessary. Some per-
sons who enjoy higher O. state of civili-
eaton and who are conspicuous in churches
and camp meetings, might yet receive some
lessons in moral law by a few years resi-
dencc in this rough community. On the
whole, though the temperature was consid-
erably below what it is here, things seem
to have been too hot tor Mr.. Woodson, and
like wise man he returned unto the habi-
taton Of his fathers, where visions of walk
ing batteries do not disturb his slumbers
and the war whoop of the Ute rendcth not
