Starvation and Destitution.

Winnemucca, New dispatch Of
January oath; The Indians in the
northern part Of this county ard
near the line IN Oregon arc report
ed in starving condition. The in-
tehsely cold weather prevented
them from hunting, and they make
little, If any, provision for the win
ter. Settlers arc contributing TO
their support, but it is feared they
will commence killing stock to pre-
vent starving According TO the
census taken under the supervision
Of Major Powell, Government agent,
there arc over 800 Piutes in this
county, and but few of them are
earning a livelihood By work this
cold weather The Government
| gives them no annuities, and they
are wholly dependent upon their
own resources. Trouble is likely tt
ensue unless the Government does
something to help to feed them dur
ing the winter.

profits will be larger, because most

One Made Money.

Aday or two ago a lot of hotel-keepers,
who had been subpened as witnesses on
trial, met on the City Hall steps and
began discussing the hard luck they had
experienced at their summer resorts
during the season. They all frankly
admitted they had come out behind,
with the exception of one man, who
waited until the rest had finished, and
then put in claim to having made
money.
'.In that little picayune place of yours,
that place down on the island?" ex-
claimed one.
Fright there, gentlemen" replied the
successful man, calmly.
'sYou mean to say you made money
over and above your expenses?" de-
manded another.
Didn't have any expenses and
made money"
"How?" observed the crowd.
II only had one guest, and I've got
him yet," answered the man who knew
how. Hes down at my place, and
am still making money out of him. He
was rich man, and induced him to
come down to see the place. AS soon
as 1 got him there l locked him in the
cellar and fed him through knot-hole
in the door; stuck in the stem of a CLAW
pipe and poured soup in the bowl while
he sucked it out of the stem. Charged
him twenty dollars day, and when l
closed for the season l left one of the
servants to feed him, and I'm going to
keep that up as long as his money holds
put or he dies, and then I'll put in bill
against the estate
And the unsuccessful ones stood off
and admired his genius, while the calm
man stood apart and waited for some
one to set 'em up,as the rich always do
when the poor are around. Brooklyn
