MENDHAs "MAsHERs GET LEFT
There is war and rumors of war out at
the Mendha mine, near Highland, the
Belle of Panaca being the innocent cause
OF it all. The following are the facts as
could be learned from one of those who
got left: The Belle of Panaca paid fly
ing visit to her mother last week, who
lives at Highland. This coming to the
ears of the Washers, few, whom were
acquainted with her, proposed to 50 to
Highland and surprise the young lady.
The female population of Mendha hear.
ing of this proposed surprise. determined
that he who will hunt for better fields
should be taught lesson and forthwith
put their heads together and determined
on plan of action, which they carried
out successfully, and to the utter discom-
future Of the Washers, in the following
manner: One of the young ladies, on the
eve of the bellies arrival at Highland,
dressed herself up, and with heavy veil
on her face started in to personate the
character of the Belle from Panaca. At
6 o'clock in the evening, when the men
came off shift, and were in the boarding
house trying to fill up empty space, the
supposed belle walked in and was intro
duced to the members of the sterner sex
who were in the room, by the landlady
(who was also in the plot. The efforts
OF the Washers to get ahead of one an
other were enough to make mule laugh.
A young fellow lately from Frisco, hap
pening to be slightly acquainted with
the bona fide belle, put in his best ticks
and was the envy of the others. The
young lady asked the young man to ex-
cuse her for moment, slipped out of the
door, hurried to her house and changed
clothes and returned in her true self.
The sudden disappearance of the young
lady the men could not account for, and
the next morning asked the boarding
house mistress where she was. She re.
piled that she went home the preceding
night and was surprised that some of the
young men did not offer themselves as
escorts. The jeering remarks that one
masher would make to another in the
mine during the day were ludicrous il
the extreme. The joke getting out the
next evening caused considerable hare
feeling among the Washers, and if any
one wishes to join the beings that W.
know nothing Of and climb the COLDER
stairs all he has to say is " How IS tn
Belle of Panaca.

of about two inches, is the only snow W
