BULLIoNvrLLE AND pANAoA DOTS

Mrs. higgins, the colored woman who
was shot through the hand here a week
ago by her brutal husband in his attempt
to kill her, is getting along nicely. She
| is cared for by that kind-hearted old
lady, Mrs. Dolf, who is ever ready to
help the needy in distress.
Skating seems to be all the rage in
Bullionville at present. There is scarcely
night but what pleasure party finds
its way to the beautiful sheet Of water
adjoining the BUSTERS" ranch. Even
the Panaca girls are getting excited over
the amusement, and very often leave the
impression of their beautiful forms on the
ice in the shape of thousand pointed
star. .
The application made for divorce
papers by young and good-looking
woman of Panaca is causing much specu-
lation among the Bullionville bachelors;
but the fact that one of their number,
who only short time since ran against
club in the hands of burly coalburner
while treading ON forbidden ground,
ought to be sufficient warning to those
rash and impulsive youths.
The Monaghan and Piute inhabitants
are greatly excited over the coming mar
riage between Sam Lung and Miss Dead
Beat. Sam has been keeping the Dead
Beat family in grub during the Fall and
Winter months, and as reward is to get
in marriage the hand Of the dusky Miss
Dead Beat. In order to make the affair
binding, both parties have agreed to hire
the services of white man Cock eyed
Charley Of Arizona) to perform the cere.
money.
The amalgamating pan invented by X.
st. Pierre of Bullionville, and of which
mention has been made in the RECORD,
has more than realized the most sanguine
expectations Of that gentleman. 1t is
now turning out amalgam at tho rate of
200 pounds every twenty four hours,
which is one-fifth more than the latest
improved milling pan can do on the same
material. Two others of the same kind
are to be put up in the near future by the
Smelling Company.

Mr.. Mart Safeguard of Bullionville,
about whom some pertinent remarks
were made in last weeks RECORD by the
writer of these items, wishes it to be un.

Furthermore, that he has no affiliations

| Dan Nyswonger, the Panaca sporting
man, and the owner Of the famous "Des.
eret Colt" was interviewed some days
ago by brother sports from Utah on the
race question. Dan gave them to under
stand that he would back his colt with
what money he had and could raise for a
quarter of mile race against their favor.

probable that those two fast speedera
will come together before long.
After the Greeley Troupe got through
performing at Social Hail. Panaca, Mon
day evening last, their musicians gave a
dance to all present. Everything went
lovely for few hours, and everybody
was happy in the contemplation of a good
nights dance, and when the hat was
