impressed with Kansas City weather
which he found al oIt stationary at
twelve degrees below nothing.
Verify, men love wickedncss
rather than the truth, and that is tho
reason they swear off at the begin
ming of the year, in order to expe-
rience the novelty Of kicking over
the ropes again. Some men think
there is nothing like showing the
other fellows that nothing can
hold them, not even their own
pledges.
Last week John Shapley and
Charlie Siegel while doing assess
ment work Oil claim in Nogal dis
trict were both very seriously injured.
1t seems that either the fuse was
defective, or they had cut it too short,
as they had just ascended from the
shaft and were in the act of removing
the windlass when the blast exploded.
The flying rock caught both men
about the head and breast. Siegel
will loose an eye aud received several
other external and internal injuries
while Shapley's injuries are only a
little less severe. They were
brought to TT. Stanton next day for
repairs and treatment.
One of the finest social gatherings
that ever met in Lincoln, assembled
at the hall last Friday evening. a
large number who had come in from
the surrounding towns to visit during
the holidays, were present and added
very materially to the pleasure OF
the occasion. Over fifty couples
took part, and dancing was kept up
until three o'clock. Good order
and harmony prevailed throughout
Those enjoyed it most who danced
most and nobody seemed tired but
the musicians, who played until the
notes began to slip through their
fingers like pie juice at picnic,
and they were compelled to throw
up the sponge cake.
QAitc a serious fight occurred a
few miles above this place last Mon
day night, in which rocks, knives,
clubs and other Christmas furniture
got pretty badly mixed up with a
party of Mexicans. Three brothers,
Roman, Ygnacio and Simon Maldo-
nado, quarrelled with Matias and
Jesus Mirabal and hot words led to
hotter blows, and the consequence
was, that several dark eyes put on a
deeper eclipse and several bodies
took on numerous gashea and con-
tusions not hitherto thercunto be-
longing. lsadore Chayes, being a
man Of peace, as well as peace
officer, seeing the battle wax sore,
as well as hot t-principally about
the cars--took these men Of valor
and vim under the protection Of the
; law and brought them to Lincoln,
where Justice Aguayo still further
pacifed them by hning them good
sum.
In this season OF colds and confus-
ion of ideas, the following remedy
| is given by uncle Dick Evan,
through an ERA rustler for the re-
: lief of suffering and snee2ing human
ity. TO a quart of Dolan's best
whiskey, out of the small barrel add
, two ounces each Of ground black
pepper, and chill colorado or chill
, verde, then half pint of best
brandy and tone down the mixture
| with a liberal supply of crushed
moIasses or granulated loaf sugar.
When well stirred up and sampled
add little more whiskey out of the
large barrel, and to give it body as
well as to stimulate perspiration, add
/, a little Scotch snuff moistened in
benzine, and finally to be sure that
, the medicine is sufficiently searching
, turn on another inch of whisliey
