a general rule, are frequently troubled
with admirers whose attentions are OBJ
jectionable, and various are the methods
resorted to by the fair, hut heartless, crea-
lures to Danish these pests. A young
man. with an unlimited belief in his own
poetical powers, and tender attachment
for a local young lady, who recently
returned from Utah, has been accus.
toned to call on her six evenings in
the week, and to entertain her with his
brilliant love poems from s to IL o'clock,
and would constantly ask her her opin.
ion. The young lady growing weary of
the poets addresses, aud wishing to get
rid of them, purchased package of small
round candies, also number of sugar
coated pills resembling the candies,
which was warranted to 60 through
person in the twinkling of star. On
the poets arrival at the house that even
ing, he had been seated but moment
when he was handed the candy. Poets
being fond of sweet things, it was natural
for the bard to help himself to goodly
allowance of the sweets. He sit repeat
ing poetry and eating candy but few
minutes, when he suddenly arc e, begged
pardon for being compelled to tear him
self away at such an early hour, but very
pressing business would not permit him
to remain longer. The fair creature
would not permit him to depart. She
gently pushed him in a chair and ca
ressed him. The poet, i'll great agony,
stood the caressing as long as possible,
when, with wild bound he sprang to
his feet, spilling the young lady all over
and down Main street, and if he held his
heart beneath his hand, his heart is located
in very odd place. The poet has not
called on the young lady since. Young
ladies should be careful how they ad-
minister physics, for If the poet should
have collapsed, which he very nearly did,
what would have been the young lady's
feelings. However, there is not much
harm done in killing poet, at any rate.
The District Attorney, Thompson
Campbell, received letter signed by
many of the residents Of Pahranagat Val
ley, requesting that the Sheriff 90 there
and arrest one Charley jerks, an insane
man, who is running at large and striking
terror to the hearts Of the settlers. The
letter states that jerks has taken pos
session of Mr.. Gears premises and run
off all the hired hel p by threatening their
lives. jerks imagines all persons are
after him for the purpose of killing him,
| | aud 70 I'll ,,x, ,1arso,, nh, fol
| lows him. He cannot be captured alive,
therefore the residents of the valley re-
quest that the Sheriff, with sufficient
, force, 90 down there and take jerks,
"dead or alive, away from there imme-
dietely. There is Justice and Consta-
BILE at Hike. Why do not the people of
Hike arrest jerks.
TAYLOR DIsTRICT.-Jno. n. Craig, who
is now over in Taylor District, writes as
! follows in regard to that place: "Times
here are dull, but are expected to be bet
ter soon There are 200 men here. about
sixty of whom are at work. Five saloons
are in the course of erection, including
the one already running, and two res
taurants. Taylor will be quite a busy
. place after the new mill is completed and
running. There are large quantities OF
good ore here on the surface. | have
not been in any of the mines yet, with
the exception of the Old Brown Bull,
owned by X. w. Simpson and others.
The Brown Bull, it is thought, will prove
, one OF the best mines in this district. y
WHEN man goes away and travels
, over country where lively times and
. plenty OF money are reported to be, look
/ ing for place where to pitch his tent,
, and then returns to Picc1e and is salts
fed to remain here, it leads us to believe
that all the wonderful tales told about
said places are not strictly correct.
