rIGE DEAD

One Of the associates of Jack
Winters and Livingstone, in this
camp, long before the discovery of
the %llomestakc and Little Mac,
was old dog "1ige." 1ige was
known by everybody in camp, and
since the death of his former mas
tiers he was recognized sthc ''old-
est inhabitant." Unlike the class
generally, he never complained of
hot weather, OF Of the dryest time
he remembered, hut always took
the appreciated bono in silence.
He never did anybody harm, and
it was supposed that everybody
was his friend. But this week
some one, either through mistake
or maliciously, administered a dose
of poison to the old dog, and he
has passed in his checks.
