THANKSGIVING AT BULLION.
A Rare Old Time-Jig Dancing Ex
traOrdinary.

The grand ball at Bullion last
Thanksgiving night was one of the
most enjoyable occasions yet expert
enced in the embryo mining metropo-
lis. There were sixteen couples on
the floor, and plenty of partners.
Everyone went anticipating rare bit
of jollity, and it so proved. After
participating in number of quad
rifles and round dances the floor was
cleared and special competitive con-
tests were engaged in, to the great de-
light Of all present. The skill of
many present in jogging had never
been imagined. Six great fat turkey
gobblers all in row hung up to be
given to the successful ones, and
dozen fat mallard ducks all ready for
roasting hung near by for the less
ambitious aspirants for fame. Eu-
gene Callahan came to the front and
distanced all rivals in a genuine out
and-out Irish jig, which he kept up to
time with the music until the musi-
clans gave out. Every change Of
time was rendered with a different
movement, until he appeared as fact
ing under the influence Of electricity.
The biggest turkey on the rack was
given him as the champion, and two
ducks were thrown in for good meas
ure. Mrs. LeGrand and James
Geary received big fat turkeys as sec
ond best champions in the Scotch
reel, which was admirably done amid
much applause. Ike Marks entered as
a champion waltzer, but was taken
with cramps in his legs, and had to
sit down and take suthin' hot. After
he backed out Mike Hynes entered the
lists, and for long time the specta-
tors held the breath in awe, not know
ing what he was dancing-some
thought it grand imitation of an
Indian war dance and others Hin
doc reel; but when Mike asserted Sc
riously that it was waltz, or the way
he did it, he was given all the bal.
ance Of the turkeys and ducks, as no.
body ever saw anything like it before
Mike gave his turkey to Miss Teresa
Myers, and as everyone now either
had turkey or was invited to hell
eat one, supper was announced, ane
while part OF the company ate, the
balance rendered some very fine duets
trios and good old melodies. Mr.
Rossiter Miss Bonham and Miss Lo,
Myers rendered choice trio in fin,
style, Dixie Boone furnishing tn
music.
Miss Mamie Harrington was votet
the belle of the ball and Mike Hyne
the worst Walter they ever saw. |
was rare old Thanksgiving, and al
adjourned at a. M, sober and merry
The next ball will be on Christina
eve, when all Wood River will be in
yited.

A LUCKY CAPTURE.
County Commissioner Morrill, Gets a
Silyer-Gray Fox In Exchange for 4
Few Chickens.

A few days ago Jos. Morrill,, Coun-
ty Commissioner-elect, of this city,
lost couple of chickens from his liv
cry stable. The next day he lost two
more, and the following day another.
This led to an investigation, and tie
following night silver-gray fox was
observed to steal into the stable, but
was frightened off by a man on the
watch, who followed it to the upper
bench and saw it disappear in the d.
rection Of Quigley gulch. A trap
was then got and set over night near
the mouth of the gulch, and the next
morning the fox was found caught in
it. 1t was alive, but blow On the
head soon killed it. The fox meas
ured five feet three inches from tip
to tip, and yielded magnificent skin
that shines brightly in the sun, and
will bring at least $3.50 dollars in any
Eastern market.
Mr.. Morrill, does not mind the loss
of his chickens SO much as he did.
and even says that he is willing to
lose some more if he can thereby Sc
cure another one of these foxes. In
fact he would willingly sacrifice all
his chickens for two more foxes.
This is the first silver-gray fox re-
ported caught this season. Last win
ter three were caught in this vicinity,
and the skins sold in Haley for 800,
1925 and $l75, respectively, the latter
price being paid for handsome black
fur.

EGYPT.

The Conference of the Powers-En2Iand
 to Stand Up for Her Rights.
 LONDON, June 2O.-In the House of Com mons to-day Sir Charles Dilke, under secre- tary of foreign affairs, stated that the inter national conference would convene at Con- stantinople on Thursday without the con- currence of the Sultan and with the understanding that the Sultan was not to be permitted to preside or be represented as presiding officer by any member of his cabi net. The work of the conference he said would no doubt be difficult, that the confer ence would probably insist upon the estab- lishment of an Anglo French protectorate of the country, extending liberties to the people
 .ther than to the nominal rulers of Egypt. Sir Charles went on to say that Mr. Malet had intimated to the Sultan that full repara- tion would be demanded for all outrages which had been inflicted on British subjects in Egypt MT. Malet had been no party to the formation of the new Egyptian ministry and the English government through him or any of it's representatives had not at all de- parted from it's original policy for the pro tection of English interests in Europe.
