OK Monday teamster came to town
and reported that on Sunday evening he
watered at Pages place, and the only
change he had in his pockets was two
dimes, which he paid and left, amid the
srowls of the Pages, who wanted two
bits The teamster then drove down to
the old Craw well, turned his horses out
and eamped. In tile morning one of his
horses was missing, and he trailed it
along the road, and there was another
horse track along side of it, He followed
them up near Pages, when he observed,
by the tracks, that the hobbies which
were taken off the horse was again re-
placed. After some talking, Page offered
to find the horse for $40, but the team
ster refused to put up the money until
he got the horse. Page DISAPPEARED amid
the cedars, and after half an hours alb
sence returned with the horse. Some
talk was INDUCED in about the price
charged for finding the animal, when the
old woman of Pages said they often got
SIS and $25 for finding horses for team
sters. An SIS check was handed to the
Pages, but they had no change and
wanted coin. The man told Page if he
would come down to the wagon he would
pay him a $40 gold piece, but Page de-
clined, remarking that the man had gun
down there. Mrs. Page then proceeded
to drive the horse in the corral, and the
teamster threatened to come to Phoebe
after an officer, when the Pages gave up
the horse, took the check, and gave the
man an So order on merchant in Phoebe.
This item is for the purpose of putting
teamsters on their guard.
THOUGHT HIS TINE HAD CoME.-At
Royal City, the other day. certain indi-
vidual had an attack of the cramps, and
so severe was the pain that it doubled
him up like jack-knife. He thought
his days were numbered, and having been
taught that a rich man could never enter
the Kingdom of Heaven, he sent for a
little girl, and made her heart glad by
presenting her with his gold watch and
chain and $20-piece. He next sent for
an acquaintance, told him where he had
some money hid, and what to do with it.
After the lapse of couple of days the
man improved, and he concluded that the
Almighty had given up the idea of con-
verting him into an angel for the present,
so he sent for the little girl, and asked
her "what time it was?" but the child
having the watch put away, would go
and look at the clock. This occurred
several times, and the girl surprising the
man desiring her to wear the watch, put
it on and visited him. When he saw her
with the watch he requested to be per-
mitted to look at it, and when it was
handed him he put it under the covering
and turned his back upon his little friend,
who felt sorely hurt at such conduct. 1t is
safe to bet that this man will never again
give his property away, until he feels the
Goals of the internal region scorching the
soles of his feet.
SLINGs. boys in town amuse
themselves at the present time by shoot.
ing pebbles with rubber sings, and they
frequently shoot at persons off some dis.
lance from them. These slings send
pebble with nearly the force and swift
ness as ball sent from the chamber of
revolver. The other day, as young
lady was walking along, a pebble shot
from sling hit her hat-and such duck
of hat, too-made hole in the front of
it and hit her on the head, glanced and
passed out the back OF the hat, causing a
slight scalp wound and running the hat.
Parents should warn their children again
shooting sings, and the officers catching
boys using them in the streets, should
wiring their necks
