Mr. Duff has put two men 10 work ON
his mine in Chief District.
Miss fannie Atchison gave social At
her home Monday evening, which was an
enjoyable affair.
In giving the list of fair maids and
manly youths last week, who are about
to mate. Tor veal or woe. we forgot TO

Atchison.
Those Pahranagat chaps are gaining
considerable notoriety as killers, and
strange 10 say. the dead man is always at

Bishop Quartz Sparks returned on

While gliding through the mazes of a
quadrille at the last dance in Social Hall,
your former quid-nunc was seen to ap

pounds avoirdupois, and attempt to swine
her, as is customary on such occasions.
