THE OUTLOOK.
position.

In the columns of the MINER are presented
the names of four candidates for clerk and re-
corder, three for sheriff, three for assessor,
two for treasurer and one for probate judge.
There may be others whose names may be
announced before the nominating convention.
But should the published list comprise the
names of all democrats who aspire TO official
positions in the new county, the convention
cannot possibly make a mistake in its selec-
ton. The gentlemen who have announced
themselves as candidates are all well known
citizens of our community and thoroughly
qualified to discharge the duties of the partic-
ular office to which they severally aspire.
The democratic party in this county is fortu-
nate in possessing a host of members quail
fed to fill creditably any position to whichthe
people may call them. 1t suffers from no
lack of material from which may be formed a
ticket that will sweep the field at the ensuing
election. 1t only remains for the party to
present a solid, unbroken front to its politi-
cal enemies TO insure a decided triumph at
the polls on the 18th of April next. We are
satisfied they will do this and that the integ-
thy vi l'le party Will Ue pTcSeTVeu.
The strife tor positions upon a ticket is le-
Ultimate. 1t is the pride and the boast of our
free institutions that under them every man
is permitted to present his claims to an office
and seek the suffrage of his %neighbor. No
one is barred. The people are the arbiters
and to their judgment he bows. This defer
ence to their decision has passed into and be-
come incorporated in the discipline of the
great democratic party. 1t is one of its I'M
written laws, handed down by its illustrious
founders and crystalized in the hearts of the
present generation. We therefore say that
the integrity of the party will be preserved
not a line will waver, not a man will falter-
not an opening will be made in which our
republican friends can force themselves and
thus divide the party. 1t will march in a
solid phalanx to an easy victory. We say this
in NJ Boosting spirit. We feel assured the
democracy fully realizes the Importance of
winning the first political battle that will be
fought in this new county, and they as fully
realize the disasters that would follow in the
train of a defeat--disasters that would not
only affect the party itself but seriously af-
feet and cripple the interests of the county.
To avoid. this mutual concessions that will
foster a spirit of perfect harmony in the party
will be made at our primaries. The will of
the party will be fairly expressed and that
will be obeyed. Therefore, our republican
friends who are building their hopes upon
witnessing 'bucking" and "kicking'' by dis
appointed candidates in the democratic party,
and prepare to face the inevitable defeat that
awaits them.

The Storm East.

AhO VII LNSts
CHICAGO, March 19.-Another, the worst
storm of the season, set in this morning, and
up to this hour, noon, snow has been falling
rapidly so that it now lies three to four inches
on the level. A fierce wind accompanied it
but so solid was the snow that it did not drift
perceptibly and the wet and solid mass lies
on the streets and pavement like so much
ice. The steam cars generally arrived on
time, as they were nearly here when the
storm began, but the street cars, after keeping
up the battle for two or three hours, sought
their barns. Snow plows took their places on
the tracks, and attempted to open the roads
but with little success, for their six and eight
horses were unable to keep the snow from
pedestrians during the morning and later
c~arryalls were improvised to accommodate
travel. Telegraph wires are weatherbound
to NEST of the principal points, and in the
city there is a great interruption to telephone
and district telegraph business. The wires
look like two-inch ropes with tleir heavy
wrappings of snow. An inquiry at the rail-
road Offices shows that the storm was not very
severe in the north, but extended west as far
as Omaha, south to st. Louis and Kansas
city, and east on the l'ittsburg and Fort
Wayne railroad as far as the Crestliue. Rail
road men say there will undoubtedly be delays
if the storm continue much longer as it is OF
the most dangerous character OF any tins sea-

A Facetious Deputy Sheriff.

There seems to be something mex
pressibly funny in being Deputy Sher-
if, especially one from Buena Vista.
Quite interesting tales are told of Den
uty Sheriffs from that section. The
latest is told of Ike Barrett, who started
after Joe Turnbull, the murderer of old
man OSBORN. Ike as soon as he gets
into Taylor Park swears in two Depu-
ties named Ferguson and Buzzard, and
together they start for Spring Creek,
where they expected to capture Turn
bull. Upon arriving at that place Bar
rett soon succeeded in getting bilin'
drunk and forthwith tried to clean out
the town. Every man that came along
he pulled his pistol on and made them
come into the saloon and take drink.
He at last espied Col. j. B. Stone, OF
Denver, who was in that section looking
up mining property.
Barrett drew his pistol on Stone and
told him to throw up his hands, which
he did, when Barrett went through him,
taking a revolver and ten dollars from
the Colonel. He then made Stone
go ahead into the saloon and take
drink, which the Colonel at first refused
to do, when the desperate pulled the
cooked revolver on him, saying, with
an oath, that if he did not drink he
would shoot him. He made every man
drink that was in the saloon, and he
pulled his revolver on any one whom
he thought was not giving him the at
tention that he desired. He kept Mr..
Stone prisoner from eight m. until
nd fcv. he LII, 1Iv,
with the money he had taken from the
Colonel. His deputies tried to interfere
in behalf of the Colonel, but they were
soon silenced by his threatening to shoot
either one of them if they did not keep
their mouths shut. He threatened the
barkeeper, who made run for it, when
the desperate fired after the fleeing
man, but not with any success. Every
body was trying to sneak out of sight
of the mailman. One of his deputies
mounted horse and tried to escape,
and just as the desperate took aim to
fire the man dropped from his horse,
thus, no doubt, saving his life, as Bar
rett is known to be dead shot, as the
following will show. While they were
all in the saloon an old man came in with
several letters and gave them to Colonel
Stone to deliver at the first postoffice he
came to out of Spring Creek. Barrett
took the letters from the Colonel and
threw them on the floor and commenced
shooting at them, filling them full of
holes. The old man went to pick the
letters up to rewrite them, when the
villain made the old gentleman hold
them out at arms-length, when he COM
menced shooting at them while he held
them in his fingers, shooting them all
to pieces. After emptying his revolver
he wanted Ferguson to give him his,
which he would not do, when he shot
at his deputy, the ball passing through
his hat, just grazing his head. About
this time the Colonel got away and the
circus broke up for want of ammunition.
Mr.. Stone tells this interesting tale him
self, which is vouched for by the two
deputies. The last heard of Barrett
was that he stopped at Texas Creek
Friday night. 1t is thought that if he
meets Turnbull they will chum togeth-
er and make two of the most precious
rascals unhung.- DenUer NeaOS.

Freezing Fish for the Fall.

Some time ago we printed an inter-
esting description of the process of
freezing fresh fish by a method patent
ed by Mr.. d. w. Davis, of this city. By
this process the fish are paced in layers
of pulvcrized ice and then frozen solid,
so that they come out as fresh and
plump as when first caught. 1t will be
interesting to read a brief description
of the process. A galvanized iron pan
thirty-five inches long. twenty five inch
es wide and four inches deep will hold
about thirty pounds of pulverized ice
and fifty pounds of fish. The fish. after
being packed in these pans with the pull
verified ice, are piled in bins with alter
nate layers of ice and salt, which are in
the right proportion to produce a tenn
perature Of zero. There they remain
for twelve to fifteen hours, after which
time the fish and pulverized ice in each
pan will have thoroughly CONCEALED into
solid cake-the fish scarcely percepti-
ble-just like square block OF ice cut
out OF the river in midwinter. These
blocks of fish are then packed and
stored away in massive freezing cham
bers, where the temperature is never al
lowed to rise above the freezing point.
and where they remain just in exactly
the same fresh condition as when
caught. until they are ready to be sold
TO the dealer.-Detro1 Post and Tribune.
