he would take a run, to keep up with
the example set by Messrs. Thomas
Bros. horse on the previous Satur-
day. The driver left the pony stand
ing near the wagon-yard gate while
he went inside on some business.
While standing there, a couple OF
men came out of the yard bearing a
pair of large cotton scales. The pony
did not like the looks Of the scales,
and started off at a lively gait. After
going around the square, running
over u few small trees, going across
the courthouse yard and back to the
said point of beginning, chased by
our young friend Ragsdale and sev-
eral other prominent citizens, SAID
pony took a fresh start for the public
square evidently with the determine
lion to get thar, and he did. AS til.
pony and wagon passed in front o.

struck a large goods box, aud boz
and wagon were both %capsized. Ilis
Of course checked the speed of the
pony, when some heroic citizen fas
tened on to the reins; and thus endeG

.ointed, and the breaking of tn,

sustained.

The past week has been one of I'M
usual activity in Grenada. The stur-
dy, honest old farmer, between whose
cotton-patch and the limits of our
classic little city lay many hills and
dales, has been among the busiest
visitors, in hunting something to
crafty the expectations of numerous
members of his household in the way
of a christmas present. Nor was the
aged sire here all alone. If we are to
judge by the multitudes hat passed
before our optics we are persuaded
that many of his sons and daughters
were here also, for the thoroughfares
have been crowded with folk going
in every direction. And not alto
gether the most unimportant feature
of notice was the great number OF
wagons upon the streets and public
square loaded with the fleecy staple
and other marketable produce. A!
times it was not only impossible for
wagons and teams to pass from n
point to another, but quite dil1icuIt
for a pedestrian to cross the streets.
While this crowding is sometimes
unpleasant to persons who may be il
a hurry, we rather like to Sc it thus,
for it is al indisputable evidence 0

CROOKED MR.. BEAN.
A Utah Sheriff Coming to Claim the
Gold. Brick Fiend.

Sheriff 8. R. Belnap, OF Ogden, Utah, will
arrive in Butte tomorrow morning, with a
warrant in his possession for the arrest Of
Bill Bean, the fellow who is now in custody
for working the ''gold brick racket" on Col
onel ]. D. jerks. The crime for which Bean
is wanted in Utah is not known, but it is
surmised that he escaped from Sheriff Bel.
maps custody while being taken to the Pen
the Sheriff for his capture which will be
claimed by Chief OF Police Ledford.
Chief Ledford, it seems, has been camp.
ing on Beans trail for several weeks. His
attention was first called to the gold brick
artist by a man who knew the latter in
Utah and suspected that he was wanted
there. The Chief at once placed Mr.. Bean
on the list ef crooks whom he has under
surveillance, and awaited developments.
They came. A few days prior to Beams
arrest for the gold brick swindle Ledford
received dispatch from Sheriff Belnap,
furnishing Beams description and offering
reward OF $25 for his capture. Lediord at
once identified Bean as the man wanted,
and kept an eye upon him while awaiting
a reply to telegram requesting q more
complete description.
Bean was boarding at the Southern
Hotel, and one day while the chambermaid
was cleaning his room she attempted to
lift his gripsack, and found it 30 heavy
that she was unable to move it. She OBJ
tanned the assistance of an able bodied male,
and he tugged and pulled at the obstinate
valse until the lock burst, it few open and
exposed saf1ron-hued brick. Chief Led
ford was informed OF the discovery, and
kept close watch on the owner OF tho
brick, and was aware that fraud was
being worked, but was unable to locate
just where or upon whom, owing to the
secrecy maintained by the victims.
The trial OF Bean and Page will develop
some very spicy testimony.

"THE LIGHTS o. LONDON"
Extensive Preparations for Its Pro-
ductiOn at the Grand.


The Grand Opera House Company re-
turned from Helena last evening, where
they performed during the past week.
There will be no performance at the
Grand Opera House this evening, as the
stage will be required for full scenic and
dress rehearsal of "The Lights o. London"
This great play Manager Mcguire procured
at heavy cost during his recent visit to
New York, and il the patronage is such as
to justify the expenditure, Mr.. Mcguire has
in his possession other similar attractions
which will be placed on the local stage in q
manner worthy OF any theater in the
largest cities in the East. "The Lights o.
London" is a powerfully constructed
drama, embracing all the features of
play which insures its success. It has
comedy and pathos; it is full OF neat char.
acter bits peculiar to London life, and,
with the exception OF youth" and "The
World, ~ has made more money for mama
gers than any other production of late
years. The special scenery for THE Lights
O. London" is entirely new, painted by
Paxon, and will overshadow any attempt
in this direction which has ever been at.
tempted here. The play is announced for
three performa: :ces-Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday-and it is to be hoped that
.ts success hay oe 80 oVerWnelnnng
that Manager Mcguire will be enabled
to run it for the entire week.
The cast is an exceedingly strong one, tho
principal characters being in the hands OF
such sterling artists as Messrs. Buckley
and Hamilton and Miss Louie Lord and
Miss Nellie Donald, with the full company
in the subordinate parts.
The prices OF admission to the lower
part OF the house is reduced to 81, although,
in view OF The enormous expense attending
the production OF this great play, Manager
Mcguire would be justified in raising tho
prices, but he hopes the public will appre-
ciate this move by crowding the house
nightly.

President Porter Tells Them That They
Behave in an Ungentlemanly Manner.
NEN HAVEN, Conn.,, June 1a.-President
Porter has announced to the students in
Bethel Chapel that, owing to the disturb
ances made on Wednesday evening last, in
consequence ofYale's victory at Princeton
he felt that it was his duty to warn them
that i they repeated their ungentle1nanly
conduct, further participation in inter cole
gate atletics would be prohibited. Presi
dent Porter said that he spoke on his own
authority, but he knew that he voiced the
opinion OF the other members OF the faculty.
lr5e Franklin 3. Dexter, Secretary of
the Corp. ration, said that, beyond all
doubt, the faculty would vote against
allowing Yale to take part in interculle-
gate games next year. Prof. Eugene L.
Richards, who has always taken great in
terest in cullege athletics, expressed the
opinion to-day that the welfare OF the col
lege demanded that after this year all in
tercollegiate baseball games be prohibited.
The President Of the baseball nine has
assured President Potter that extra ordi
nary efforts will be made to prevent rep
etition OF Wednesdays disturbances
