a good deal of their corn to the

not prudent to part with the most

has been SO plentiful here, that
the farmers can easily part with a
portion of their corn without any
danger of being in want, at the
coming season.

The following from the Salt Lake
Tribune, breathes the sentiments of
the entire people Of the West, and we
think of the East, North and South.
1t is safe to say that the story OF
Crooks campaign being fraud is a
roorback. 1t is an impeachment OF
both the honor and courage of a gal
liant soldier, who has earned the re
spect and confidence of his country
men by life of arduous and difficult
service in the cause of his country
1t may be that some Greaser horse
thieves would like to transfer suspi-
cion from themselves; it my be that
some of the fierce men of Arizona
impatient over the fact that Crooks
prisoners have not been murdered
would aim poisoned arrow at the he
ro; it may be that some politicians may
fear that the achievement of making a
gallant campaign and ending wal
may interfere with their own desires
in future, and so they hurl the Islander
at the faithful soldier. But none Of
them will answer. One breath from
Crook will blow them all from the
memories of the people, except, per.
haps, a thought will now and then
come that there are men so mean as tc
be willing to stab a brave soldier in
the back after he has done noble work
for his country.

but we never have known of a man
making single dash at gallon of
cherries until last Saturday. Jake
Phillips, the champion chess player,

could eat one gallon of cherries with
out stopping. He went at it, and
would have won the dollar, be says,
had not Roe Buchanan wrung in an
extra quart on him. He is still living,
and now offers to bet heavily that he
can eat one quart saddler's lacks, five
pounds cabbage, eight pounds beans,
six picked salmon, and wind up on a
desert of four old gum boots legs,
at single meal. No body takes the
