LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

slings, some of which are very good and
useful; as, for instance, a gin sling. But
the rubber sings that the boys in town
are now using are perfect nuisance.
The little Phoebe boys, like boys of other
towns, are very bad boys, and number
of them, armed with rubber slings, go
around town attac King vacant buildings,
demolishing all the windows. Should
the windows be covered with planks, the
bows do not get discouraged in the least,
but, like true heroes, they yank those
planks from in front of the glass in a
twinkle and start in breaking the panes
of glass; The other evening couple of
ladies' walking down Main street came
very near being struck with stone shot
from a sling, which is thrown with nearly
as much force as shot from gun. Par
ents should warn their children against
the use of the rubber sling.
NEARLY DRowNED.-Pat Collins and
another young man. while bathing in
Pahranagat Lake the other day, came
very near finding watery grave. 1t ap-
pears that neither of the young men can
swim, and they supposing the lake to be
shallow paid very little attention to
sounding the bottom. A short ways out
in the lake the bank appears to cut off
straight and it is very deep They stepped
off of the bank, and if it had not been
for the presence of third party, both
young men would have drowned. One
of the young men had to be rolled on a
barrel and rubbed considerable before he
was brought to consciousness.
Our GIRLs.-We have been shown a
neatly printed little paper published in
the interest of Bishop Whitaker's School
for Girls at Reno. There is a very
pithy criticism published in the paper of
an entertainment given by the Trinity
Church of Reno, which reflects great
credit on the writer, Miss Isabelle o.
borne. The paper also contains two
articles from the pen of Lydia Jennings.
Her "Trip in Southern Nevada" is good,
and person who had once met the care
less and light-hearted girl could easily
have guessed who the author of that
article was. We imagine we hear her
TEACHERS CERTIFICATE. Miss Mary
Clinton, of Phoebe, appeard before the
County Board of Examiners on Wednes.
day last, and after passing an ordeal of a
most searching examination, which she
did with high honor, was duly awarded
certificate as teacher for this county.
The fact is the more noteworthy as the
young lady in question has received her
education entirely in the public schools
of Phoebe. We understand Miss Clinton
leaves this morning for Bristol, where
she has an offer to take charge of the
school at that place. We wish her sue
cess.
HORSE STOLEN. A horse was stolen
last week down in the Wash by young
man named Goodman, near Kiernan's
ranch, and brought to town and sold for
twenty dollars, on jaw.bone. The man
came up after his horse, and after little
search found and secured it. When the
man learned that the horse had been
sold on jaw-bone he became very angry
and threatened to have the young man
arrested, remarking that he didn't care q
ID for the horse, but the idea of selling
stolen animal on jaw-bone, was little
more than his good nature could stand.
