Condor Canyon seems to be the favor
lite resort of our pleasure seekers. -
The frost of Saturday and Sunday
nights killed most of the young fruit in
the Panaca orchards. Mr.. John Atchi-
son suffered severely by it, as his trees
were loaded with promising fruit.
The smelling company's furnace was
badly frozen up on Sunday. 1t was
caused by an undue amount of silicious
matter in some of the iron that came
from Stampede Gap. After good deal
of hard work the cake was taken out and
it is now running smoothly again.
Messrs. Godbe and St Pierre of Bull
honville, accompanied by Mrs. j. Odell
and Mrs. 2. Vallejo, with some ladies'
and gentlemen from Panaca, went on a
picnic up Condor Canyon on Monday. AS
the party was well supplied with all the
luxuries incidental to such an excursion,
we infer they had good time.
Laif Lee, who is the Justice of the
Peace of this precinct, was appointed
Bishop of the Panaca Stake by
President McAllister, during his late
sojourn here Mr.. Lee is a very popular
young man in the village, and we think
is more capable of filling that position
than his predecessor, Mr.. Syphus.
Panaca girls, to the number of seven,
crowded themselves into freight wagon
belonging to one of their village lovers
Sunday afternoon, and hied themselves
to the solitude of Condor Canyon, where
they passed some pleasant hours playing
leap frog, hide-and. go-seek, trapeze swing
ing, and other little amusements of a
masculine order, but dear to the feminine
heart.
There has been considerable gambling
going on for the past couple of weeks in
Bullonville and Panaca, mostly draw
poker. Some night one of the boys
would 60 home with his pockets full of
| gold and silver, only to come back and
lose it next night. This occurred very
frequently, and the game kept a rolling
along smoothly, until slippery youth
from Phoebe dropped in among the boys
and gave them lesson or two in the
science of the top and bottom shuttle.
The lesson was dear one, and we hope
it won't be altogether lost on these young
men who fondly imagine they can hold
their own at poker with even Phoebe
| man.
Edward Routledge, whom we men,
toned as being dangerously sick in last
weeks RECORD, died here on the 10th
inst. from rheumatism of the heart, SUI.
perinduced by lead poisoning. The poor
fellow suffered greatly before he departed
for the great unknown, where we must
all 60 sooner or later. During his sick.
ness he was kindly cared for by Mr.. and
Mrs. Short who done everything possible
toward alleviating his pain. Routlcdge
was quiet inoffensive young man, was
80 years old when he died and native
| of London, England. His funeral was
largely attended by his fellow working
men and Others, who deeply deplore his
unexpected demise

A poker sharp from Bullionville wa
over to Mr.. Wedges place, in Panaca,
few nights ago, and seeing some boy
playing poker, that he mentally though
he could beat, he bought some check
from one of the number and commence
playing. Luck seemed to be against hir
, for time and he kept buying MOI
checks until he mad invested several dol
lars in the ivory. About this time ficlSl

wanted to continue the game he bega
hunting for the "pot'' money. Not fine
ing any, the truth flashed upon him thu
lie had been sold, and in order to kee
from being laughed at he set them up fo
the crowd.
