The speaking and songs OF the children

past nine o'clock, the benches were
cleared from the middle of the hall and

children remaining and INDUCING in dane
ing. The hall was very tastefully dec.
grated with evergreens. flags and pic.
lures, and was the work of School Trus.
tee Gelabert, who did the whole of it
himself. The youngsters were all of an
excitement and were as happy as little
larks in a meadow. The children of our
town are not affored amusement of this
kind half enough. The grown people
all seem to forget that they were once
children and were fond of amusement of
this character.
ANOTHER old-timer has passed away.
He died last Sunday night. This time
it was horse, and was the property of
A. Adelman, of the Peoples Market.
The old horse had been driven in the
butcher cart in Phoebe for the last eleven
years. When the carcass was being
hauled from the stable, the shepherd dog,
who had been companion of the old
horse for the last two years, would run
and bite the dead horse on the tail, en-.
deavoring to make him arise. The dog
followed his dead companion to where
it was left as food for the coyotes and
wildcats. When the party who hauled
the carcass away was to return, he could
not call the dog away from the dead ami.

to bring him home; but on getting up to

back to where his dead companion was.
The dog was went after and brought
back to town and tied in the stable, and
ever since that day makes couple of
trips down to the remains of the old
horse, walks around the carcass couple

Christy Mining Company of Silver Reef,
which is close incorporation, having re-
fused to pay their assessment to com.
plete necessary dead work, it was
deemed best not to pay the checks given
out by the company about two months
ago, but party in Salt Lake has made
arrangements to cash all these checks at
their face value. The Christy Company
will then be attached and sold out.
This is the only method that could be
adopted to make several of the stock
holders pay their proportion, or else get
them out of the company. There are
now but four men in the employ of the
company.

of provisions having grown scarce in that
town, have removed to Phoebe. Dead

white brothers than all the balance of his

bottle of firewater and long knife this
doughty warrior fears not to meet the
whole Caucasian race in battle array.
The jackrabbits, which have not been
seen in this vicinity for the past five
years, are again becoming plentiful.
Their tracks in the snow outside of town
are numerous.
