TWO BlTERs KITTEN.

1t will be remembered that early last
month bar of gold bullion was stolen
from the Office of the st. Helena Gold
Mining Company at Las Delicias, Sonora,
by j. w. Smith, confidential messenger
of the company. The bar was valued at
$4,000. A reward was offered for the
arrest of Smith, but he was never found.
The theft of the bullion suggested to
some of the enterprising minds of Arizona
way to turn an honest penny. The
Tucson Tailings thus rarrates the story;
"a few days ago an engineer and con.
ductor on the Sonora railroad went to
Louis and M. Goldbaum, who keeps a
saloon at Benson, and offered to conduct
them to the man who had the bar, say
ing that he would sell it for 81 900. The
Goldbaum Bros. thought this too good
thing to let slip; so scraping the amount
together, in case and equivalents, they
accompanied the railroad men to spot
in the mountains near Benson, where
they duly received the coveted bar, in re-
turn for the 81 900. Coming up to Tue
son they chopped the bar into small
pieces, which they forwarded to various
points for assay and sale, and sat down
to await their assays and returns. The
returns soon came, in the shape of uni
form reports, to the effect that the metal
was worthless. To say that the pur.
chasers was mad is to put the matter
very mildly. The worst of it is that they
dare say nothing about it."
The High Priest of the Church in
Spring Valley says John Taylor will soon
let his whereabouts be known, and that
President Taylor and God constitutes a
one-man majority If the officials do not
cease arresting polygamists, the Mormons
will take up their rifles. The United
States Government is about to be COB
bled up by the Mormon people. The bee
hive of Utah will GUST the eagle from the
National seal, and the soldiers of the
country will wear endowment robes in
stead of the blue uniforms When the
Mormons capture the United States,
what great and glorious free country it
will then become.
A BRICK WORTH HAVING. On Thurs.
day 1900 ounce silver brick was brought
up from McFaddens mill. This is a
brick worth having, but it not as valua-
BILE by one-third that it should be, owing
to the action of the Wall.street Admins
tration of the United States Government.
No longer do you hear the Democrats of
the Pacific Coast, tell of the great pros
perity that the Nation will be blessed
with upon the Democratic party taking
control of the country They now en-
terrain the idea that the Democratic and
Republican capitalists of the Fast are
bossing the Nation.
ATrACHED.-The personal property OF
the Bristol S. NJ. Company, consisting OF
their rich tailings and lot of furniture
at Bristol, was attached the other day by
George s. Sawyer for about $50. The
Bristol Company acts strange, to say the
least, in permitting property, worth fifty
times the amount, to be attached and
sold for an insignificant bill. These tail,
ings are rich and can be sold at any time
for fair amount.
IT is stated that Mccarthy, the man
who "took in" Badly Sackett and Boil
Francis at ketchum's about a year ago
was one Of the men who recently passed
through Spring Valley with the band O
stolen horses. The horses were fin'
band, and are supposed to have been run
off from some point in White Pin,
county.
The weather. up to Friday, was yer,
disagreeable. 1t was nothing but hail
rain and snow. Though the sun woult
be shining brightly when a person started
to cross the street. the changes were 81
sudden that before they reached the op
poste side they passed through hail
storm, rain-storm and snowstorm.
THE people of Bristol are troubled will
drunken Indians. On Monday it becam
necessary for the men to forcibly expel tn
savages from the town. The people o
Bristol should have the man who suppl,
the Indians with whisky arrested ant
placed in Jail This would prevent tn,
Indians troubling the residents.
