THE great question with England is,

Now $50 have been found by engineers,

boarding house. She brought with
her several wagon loads of elegant
furniture, u part of which vas after
wards sold or given away, and the
remainder shipped to Santa Fo.
She lost several hundred dollars i'll
this move, and her actions while in
Bonito were not those Of a sane wo-
