BULLIoNvILLE AND pANAcA DOTS

Niger George, who attempted to kill
his wife here some time ago, and who
bears an unenviable reputation as dad
man, was detected the other evening in
the act of stealing grain from the stables
belonging to the smelling company 1t
is about time that the law would lay
hands on this fellow
Panaca looks dreary and uninviting to
a stranger, with nothing of an enlivening
nature to break the monotony of very
prosaic existence; but to the average
young Bullionite it is paradise, as it
contains more pretty and impressionable
young girls-who are dead on the marry
than any other place in the State, not
excepting Typo.
The lads and lassies OF Panaca while
away the long evenings playing ''pick or
poe" 1t is the old game with pins, of
'heads up you win, and tails you lose
We played that game in the far past with
Sallie Ann, and have yet the faint recol-
lection of the pleasure of holding her lit
tie brown hands in ours, while guessing
A aged lady was down from Highland
this week and visited a lady in Bullion
vile. The lady in question was reading
the life of our lately martyred President
-Gartield-when the old lady from
Highland, on hearing of his death for the
first time, become greatly affected, and
would have made it interesting for the
assassin Guiteau if he had of been around.
There was very interesting game of
base ball played in Panaca last Tuesday
between the two rival clubs of that vii
lage, the DIRTY Socks and ''Blacklegs."
The game was for the price of tickets to
the ball that is to be given at Social Hall
Friday evening, the loosing parties to pay
for their opponents tickets. The Dirty
Socks took the lead from the beginning,
| and finished with score of five innings
and nineteen tallies to their opponents
five innings and nine tallies.
At the dance Wednesday evening at
Social Hall, Panaca, practical Joker in
formed the young lady with whom he
was dancing, that he would tell her age
up to few days if she would provide a
light and 60 with him to the dressing
room after the quadrille was over. The
young lady done as requested, but
tumbled to the racket lin time to save
herself from being laughed at), which we
afterwards learned was to be the count
ing of the wrinkles on her nasal extrim-
ity. That young man done wrong, for
there is not fairer rose in all Panaca.
Those of our citizens with prospecting
proclivities are anxiously awaiting the
disappearance of the snow from the neigh
borhood of Stampede Gap, and there are
some amongst them who are confident
that they can find the gold ledge, from
which the rich float came that is at pres
ent on exhibition in Phoebe. Our own
experience, after two-months prospect
ing trip in that vicinity, leads us to
believe that, eventually, there will be
large ore bodies discovered in that Sec
ton, but the parties who find them will
have to go through the limestone cap,
which in some places is very deep.
Jake Keele, of Panaca, lost last week,
through the dishonesty of his wood
chopper John Bently), $50 in cash, a
horse valued at $3.50, pistol and pair
Of blankets. Bently was chopping for
Jake and was sent to Phoebe by the latter
to draw from the Raymond & Ely Com
pany the money coming to them on the
wood business. Bently drew the money
and skipped the country. Jake has tele-
graphed extensively for his apprehension,
and we hope with good results, as he
must be a low, contemplate thief to rot
a man as poor as Jake is, with large
family depending on him for support
"Ho for duck hunting! Candy at dis
count" were the EXPLANATIONS of couple
of our youths a few days ago, as they
shouldered their shot-guns and made 9
a bee line for the adjacent swamps, where
ducks do play. Knowing these youths
to be naturally of an indolent disposition
and as fond of candy as Piute squaw
we made enquiries as to the meaning O.
the above EXPLANATIONS, and learned that
the boys had adopted a new plan wher
going to see their little butter-cups
in Panaca. 1t is to take half dozer
ducks or so along as a present to the ole
folks. As ducks are plenty, and tn,
wherewith to buy candy scarce, we pro
nounce this the boss racket of the season
and well worthy of the ingenuity of GU
youthful Washers,
Messrs. MCGEE and Stribel, two promin
ent citizens of Bullionville, are busily en-
gagged in laying out a reservation on tn
lower Muddy. The reservation is to b
exclusively for the Dutch and Irish, witt
the understanding that no Americans o
Scandinavians need apply. One of tn
first things to be accomplished after tn
settlement is formed is the building of
distillery for the Irish and brewery TO
the Dutch. This move is supposed t
bring peace and contentment to the set
Element. President MCGEE, who is tn
founder of the colony, had revelation
few nights ago that puts in the shade al
such received by the Mormon Apostl
