EDITOR GOLDEN ERA-DEAR SIR:
Hearing that it has been repre-
sented in Lincoln that no officer in
this section could be prevailed upon
to act in the recent wOunding of a
Mexican at Seven Rivers, in order to
prevent any misapprehension on this
subject, allow me to state that l..
living some 80 miles from the scene
Of action, was not notified of the oc-
currence, neither was ! aware of it
until some days had elapsed. The
resignation Of Joseph Woods, depu-
tv sheriff, had not come to my ears,
Whenever called upon, | shall be
willing and ready to fulfill my duty
to the best of my ability.
Respectfully yours,
WALTER p. PADDLEFoRD,

Aqua CHIQUITA.--Dec. a.

Thanksgiving day has come and
gone. But recollections Of the same
will long be remembered by MS all.
There are many pious people (vour

and we all set our heads together to
have "bang up' time. After nm

lighted up, and dozens Of merry

Following in the wake of the age
and youth came the stalwart lads
and bonnie bright-eyed lasses, of
whom Aqua Chiquita is justly so
proud. Calls were made for, and
addresses from your correspondent,
and he complied by telling what he
knew about thanksgiving; which
wasn't much, nor did it take him
long to tell it, After which Billy
Harrison, the musician of the even

of many feet" had full sway. At

Eight couples only could be seated

that Of some of the gentlemen, with
whose get up he is more famaliar:
Mcdonald wore a military frock
coat, buttoned up to the chin, pie
bald pantaloons, and had "Lang-

Uncle Amos McKeen wore "A dress
suit of dark material, coat tail ''cut

pair of Furnished pumps, silk stock

coat with no tail worth mentioning.
Captain Bennett was attired in II
