The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1881-01-01

;sweler by trade, short time ago moved |
10 Phoebe from Utah, also bringing a
couple Of his wives with him, who were
mother and daughter. He worked at his
trade in town month or more, but the
other morning Mr.. Olson turned up miss
mo likewise several articles that were
niaaced in his hand to be doctored. He
took the youngest wife with him, but, by
some unaccountable reason, he left behind
the old woman. 1t may appear strange to
the wicked people of the outside world
that man should marry a mother and
daughter but it is of frequent occurrence
in the blessed land of Utah. We know
of instances where men have married
widow women with several daughters,
with the understanding they should
marry the girls as they became old
enough, and as the girls got "ripe" the
man would marry them, one after the
other. 1t is to be presumed that this was
done for the purpose of keeping the girls
Sin the family"
PIocHE had visit last week from
genuine tramp; one Of the Eastern kind.
He frightened nearly all the women in
town by his boldness when he called at
private residences. Saturday night,
about IL o'clock, this man went to the
residence of Deputy Sheriff John Craig,
gave the door a tremendous kick and
yelled out: "Get up Bill, / want to git
in and 60 to bed" Mr.. Craig got up and
opened the door, and the man started off
on run. Craig followed him and cap
tured him in the old hospital building,
brought him down to Jail and put him in.
When the man stepped in Jail he bursted
out laughing and said: Didn't hit the
nail on the head" He informed Craig
his profession was "asking aims" He
was kept shoveling snow two days then
ordered out of town.
