ness: Bond of Z. Y. Buchanan presented,
read and ordered recorded. Reports of
the various county officers for the month
of October were presented, read and
ordered filed A petition presented from
St. Joseph asking for the dismissal of
school teacher was referred to the County
School Superintendent A petition to
parties doing business at st. Joseph,
West Point, Junctionville and Overton
without license was referred to the
Sheriff, with instructions to act in the
matter Immediately, and if licenses are
not paid to make complaint. The bills
of Record Pub. Co. for printing, and D.
G. Clark, for supplies furnished sick, were
allowed; also the salary bills.
THERE appears to be some trouble in
regard to the new teacher appointed to
take charge of the school down at the
Muddy. The lady appointed by the
Trustees to teach is resident of st.
George, Utah, and passed very credita-
able examination before the Board of Ex-
aminers in Phoebe several months ago;
but this lady is living in polygamy, being
the third wife Of Mormon elder, and it
is on this ground that the parents object
to her. They say that they do not want
their daughters set such an example and
decline sending them to school. Two of
the Trustees are hardy and robust men,
and probably appointed this lady to the
position so that she could convert their
wives to the Mormon faith and teach
them the beauty and pleasure of polyg-
amy. We cannot see anything wrong
in employing this lady as teacher
A FUGITIvE.-The early part of last
week a young man, about thirty years of
age, arrived in Phoebe. He remained here
a couple of days, was lively, INDUCED a
little, and paid as he went. He had a
paper that had written on it the names of
various places and springs along the
route he was to travel. He left here for
Sand Springs, and appeared to be heading
for California. Last Saturday couple
of officials arrived here from Utah, who
were following his trail, and they left the
same day. 1t appears that the fugitive
had killed Sheriff in Colorado, we be-
leve in vicinity of Leadville, and that
there is reward of $4,000 for his cap
ture.
DIED ON THE WAY.-John Sheath, an
old resident of this place, who had been
down in California for some time for the
benefit of his health, died at Murray
Creek on Monday. Mr.. Sheath was on
his way home, and was taken sick, so
concluded to lay over at Murray Creek
one stage, where he died. He has been
suffering for quite while from bron-
chitis A box was made and the body
shipped for Phoebe. Mr.. Sheath leaves
wife and son, who is sixteen years
of age.
Our in Utah they have some pretty
large families, yet Lincoln county has
some pretentions in the big family line
herself. We are informed that there is
man residing down at Bunkerville who
has six wives and forty children, who
were sent to him by the Lord. The
citizens of other counties in Nevada are
liable to become jealous of Lincoln when
they learn this news, and call us polyga-
mus wretches; but we don't care for that,
for we have the largest family all the
same.
GOING TO LEAVE Us.-It seems to be
the determination Of Mr.. Gould to retire
from the superintendency of the Day
Company, at least for the present. He
and his wife expect to leave for San
Francisco about the last of the month.
Mrs. Gould is sorry to give up her ele.
CANT little home at the Rabbit" but
she knows eve cannot most always have
things to please u.s." Mr.. Gould says he
will arrange to meet all his friends in
Phoebe some evening before he departs.

taxes before they become delinquent.
Promptly, on the day advertised, the
