Of body, but he excitedly bent still low

his ear, and that the pleased bird did,
with much gleeful sweetness. The shoe

he was overjoyed; for indeed, the finch
was his old-time pet, the fine whistler
that his own wife had taught in the little
shop of Augsburg. So the shoemaker
bought the finch and took it home with

A TRUE INCIDENT.

Two years ago, shoemaker of Augs-

neighbors, and as far as the fnches, he
sold those, because the shoemaker was
poor, and needed the money to help him
over the sea He was very sorry to part
with one of his bull finches, bright bird
that had been taught by the shoemaker's
dead wife to whistle soft long song from
beginning to end, without as much as a
false note. But he sold the bird with the
others, babe goodbye to all his friends
at Augsburg, and set sale from the old
world to the shining shades Of the new,
When ne reached America he went TO

boys were well-to-do, and though he had
intended to open shoe shop, thew told

WOOD RIVERS BACKBONE.
1t is Stiffening, Preparatory
Coming to the Front Again.

sThe Backbone of Wood River" is
stiffening, preparatory to coming to the
front again. Recent developments in the
Mayfower mine promise to bring that
favorite to the front within short time !;
while arrangements for the speedy re-
sumption of operations on large scale IN
the Bullion and Ophir are about COM
pleted.
The Idahoan mine has the finest show
ing of any mine in this region. The whole
face of the drift being run on its lowest Is
in solid ore. The drift is run on the wall,
leaving large quantity of ore untouched
on the side opposite the wall. The Jlgs
have been shut down on account OF bad
roads, but the mine has been yielding
full carload of frst-class ore from this
drift the past eight days, which netted
over 81 900 per carload, a production
never equaled by any mine on Wood
River, and which, from appearances,
will continue for a considerable time.
Large quantities of second-class. or jig
ging ore, is accommodating at the mine,
which will be concentrated as soon as the
jigs can be got to work, and the daily pro-
duct of the mine, in the near future and
for an undetermined period, may be
safely set down at, at least, double the
amount of the present daily shipments. |

REMOVAL OF THE POSTOFFICE
A Rumor That It Is to be Trans.
ferred to the Opera House Block.

Something of sensational rumor was
heard whispered on the street this morn
ing, that the postofice would probably
be removed to the Walker Opera House
building, as soon as such change could
be conveniently effected. 1t is said that
at the time Mr.. Sharp Walker consented
to endorse Mr.. Browe's bonds it was
either stipulated as condition, or sug-
gestlvely mentioned, that such transfer
should be made, and it is further reported
that Mr.. Browe gave the assurance that
ne would petition the Postmaster General
to that end. Those who expressed an
opinion on the subject to-day were unre-
served in stating that the change had
been in contemplation for long
while, and that a good deal of
quiet, effective work had been got
ten in for its contamination. Parties
were heard to refer to the assault made
upon the Wasatch building by the Tri-
Dune this morning as the opening fire,
and that other influences would be
brought to bear in the direction of the
MIR. Sharp Walker is out of town at
present, and therefore nothing could be
learned from that source. OF course it is
matter on which none of the interested
parties would care to express any com
ments, because of the immature condi-
lion OF the project, but we give the re-
port for what it is worth, believing that
here is very probably something more
han rumor in it.

Captured as a Witness.

Mrs. Agatha Pratt Ridges, the mother
of Florence, was captured very ingeni-
ously last night by Deputies Franks and
Cudihee. She had carefully slipped into
the family residence in the Nineteenth
ward, doubtlessly to replenish her stock
OF provisions, and the officers, who had
been keeping close vigil of her move
ments, presented themselves and war
rant of arrest at the door about 9 O'Clock.
The lady, as we'll as the family, was taken
terribly by surprise, but manifested no
disposition to resist the process of the
law: She was taken down to the Mar
shal's office and required to furnish bonds
in the sum of $3.50, and was this morning
placed on the stand before the Grand
Jury. Several other witnesses have been
subponaed, and the officers seem deter
mined to make out clear case against
Mr.. Dean.

The POstOffice Change.

Our new Postmaster, Mr.. w. C. Browe,
returned from the national capital last
evening, bringing with him his commits
sion from the Department of the Interior
MIR. Browe was seen by DEMOCRAT
reporter this morning and asked respect
ing the date of his taking hold of the
postoffice. He expected, he said. to take
possession on April 1st In regard to
any changes in the force of clerks and
other employees he was not able to say
just what would be done. He had en-
gagged but one man thus far, and he would
be paid as a private assistant. At Wash
ngton ne had enjoyed very pleasant
WISH WISH, ana mad been privileged with per-
sonal interview with President Cleveland.
His trip was made additionally enjoyable
by his finding his father still alive, as it
had scarcely been expected that the old
gentleman would last out many years.

LOST ON THE DESERT.
Two Miners Have a Rough Expert.
ence Going Down to the
Sulphur Mines.

Somewhere about the 10th of the pres
ent month, Mr.. Ferdinand Dickert, pro-
| prietor of the sulphur mines, engaged
two men, Prick and TRENT, to go out tc
his mine, and they went by train as fan
as Black Rock. 1t was expected that a
team would be in waiting to convey them
to their destination, and Mr. Dickert in
structed them particularly to wait for it
should it not be there on their arrival
These directions were, however, ignored,
and the men set out afoot over the hills.
When within a short distance of Antelope
Springs, where they arrive about o'clock
the next morning, they encountered
a severe snow storm, and wandered about
over the lava ridges for five days in
starved and desperate condition. On the
morning of the fifth day they separated,
going in opposite directions, and Prick
soon ran across a sheep herder, who
guided him to the mine. TRENT was less
fortunate, and wandered around for an
other twenty-four hours, until he was al
most too exhausted for further effort.
The following day he also struck herd
er's camp, and was taken to the mine.
Both men were found to be in perfectly
PROSTATE condition, and Frick was
thought to be seriously frost-bitten.
Mr.. Dickert, when advised of the Incl
dent, telegraphed his brother at the
mine to have the men forwarded at
once to this city for medical care, if they
we're dangerously injured. Frick came |
n on last nights train and was taken to
st. Mary's Hospital for treatment. His
eet were badly frozen, but the extent of |
his injuries has not yet been ascertained.
lis companion is not thought to have
uttered as severely, and will remain at
