Crow Indian Dudes.

There are dudes among the Crow
Indians. Many of the young men
who in the summer wear nothing to
speak OF but breech clout have this
as bespangled as circus actors
trunks. They also paint their bodies
and wear no end of eagles feathers
Every buck has little case studded
with brass nails, in which are con
tanned paint, feathers, a looking glass
and variety of breech clouts. The
maidens wear sort of light and airy
Mother Hubbard costume, highly co!
ored stockings Casually flaming red
and paint their hair aud person bu
one shade, bright vermilion.-Vir

How About the East Ledge Z

Since the suspension of work in the
lower levels, the prices of some of the
Comstock stocks have nearly quad
rupled. This is inexplicable to ex-
Comstockers now living here, who, for
want of better reason, presume that
the parties controlling tbs mines are
about to develop the famous East
Ledge, which is still untouched except
by three or four drifts driven into il
accidentally. s.
This ledge, once known as Cross.
mans vein, is believed to be even
more valuable than the old mother
lode, which has yielded several hun
dred millions of dollars but during
the past three or four years it has no
even been referred to in the Enter
prise or Chronicle, the leading Nevad'
papers.

Saved His Life.

Mr.. d. /. wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,
Ky, says he was, for many years, badly
afflicted with Phthisic, also Diabetes; the
pains were almost uncomfortable and would
sometimes almost throw him into convul-
sions. He tried Electric Bitters and goa
relief from first bottle and after taking six
bottles, was entirely cured, and had
gained in flesh eighteen pounds. Says he
positively belives he would have died, had
Il not been for the relief afforded by Elec-
trio Bitters. Sold at 30 cents bottle by

THOSE BARS.
They are Dressed aad Offered fer Sale
to HALEY Epicures.


The three bears killed in the brush,
about half mile below Haley, yes
terday afternoon, by "Uncle" Jimmy
Croslin, were brought to town and
disposed of to Warren & Co., of the
Eagle, who skinned and cleaned them
and offered the meat for sale. The
market has been visited by large
number of people anxious to see what
a sure enough bear looks like; but of
course most of them affect to be thor
oughly familiar "with bar" The
knowledge which they display about
the plantigrades is truly appalling.
Three fourths of the men look wise,
and with kindly condescension tell
the remaining one-fourth of their un.
sophisticated fellow-citizens just what
skind of varmint" the animals are
After hearing the knowing ones talk
the TIMES is prepared to assert, "with
out the fear of successful contradic
tion," that the bears are either brown
black, cinnamon, grizzly, "'silver tips
or polar critters that we're draw
hither by the fame of the Wood Rive
mines. No extra charge will b
made for the TIMES tonight becaus
of the mass q information in this par
aoraph.

than All Her Other Representatives
Combined.
S. B. Dilley, of Bellevue, Demo
cratic candidate for member of the |
Legislative Council, is a native of
Delaware county, Ohio, about "a
years OF age. Mr.. Dilley came to
what is now Idaho Territory in 1862,
and spent the fall of that year and
winter of 1868 at Placerville, in Boise
county. In the month of July, 1868,
he came to this county, and in COM
pany with N. B. Dover engaged in
mercantile and mining pursuits at
what was then known as Happy
Camp, some four miles from the pres
ent town of Rocky Bar. AT the gen.
eral election that year, MIR. Dilley was
nominated and elected over Henry o.
Rogers, as a Democrat, member Of
the second session of the Territorial
Council of Idaho, Al:uras and Oneida
az tudb tithC thC
Council district. The Legislature
then met at Lewiston, and it was at
that memorable session that the Capt.
tai was moved to Boise City by Mr..
Dilley's vote. The Council at that
date was composed of seven members
only, and the bill to remove the Capt.
tai being strongly opposed by all
North Idaho, the vote on removal
standing three for and three against,
Mr.. Dilley's vote turned the scale and
caused its removal. Mr.. Dilley also
served as member of the third Leg
islative Council, was Sergeant-at-
> Arms of the fifth session, and in the
fall of 1880 was again elected mem
, Der of the Council over Colonel w
! H. Petit, of Atlanta. AS legislator

the District Court for many years
y and served three years and MIN
Il months as County Recorder. He als'

euR,Esou,Nc ITS CANDIDATE

The plain, old Colonel has one of the most
splendidly developed heads we have ever
seen. His forehead is massive in rugged
strength showing great thinking and reflect
top of forehead 133 inches. John Quincy
Adams head measured 10, Henry Clay's 134,
Daniel Webster's 13a. This shows the Col
onel to be man of deep thought and great
fore, but have no hesitation to declare him to
be great hand to reason and argue on the
great questions of the day. His top-head is
also large, showing firmness and the so-called
governing power,-infuence over others
magnetism the faculty that would enable its
possessor to lead others in places of danger
and encourage them to deeds of desperate
bravery. For proof of this see his army rec
ord. His moral and religious faculties are
large; but his head is rather thin in the cen
ter from ear to ear, showing small selfish
representatives,. He is too free hearted and
generous to ever be millionaire, neither
would he have any taste for selfish display.
In short, his head is the head of profound
thinker and leader of men, not of money
getter.-Letter TO the argus.
The man who wrote this may have intend
ed it for compliment, but everybody of COM
mon sense will interpret it as burlesquo.
Col. Edwards was a good soldier, and, bar
ring His performance during the count-out,
has conducted himself in a way to win
the esteem and respect of his fellow towns
men and neighbors. But to undertake to
elevate him to the intellectual height of DAN
iel Webster, John Quincy Adams and Henry
Clay by means of a chronological examina-
ton of his head would seem to be sufficient
ly funny to make horse laugh. How it was
that the Colonefs bump of combativeness
was overlooked by this chronological expert
1t is difficult to imagine. He must have a
very big one, certainly, for he was anxious
to fight during the count-out, and it took
most Of his party to restrain him from tear
ing down the State House Possibly the
phrenologist thought that combatiyeness de-
veloped to such an extent was not an admira-
BILE trait, and for that reason suppressed any
mention of the bump.
Ii the Argus's intention in publishing this
| letter, was to make its candidate ridiculous,
| it doubtless has the satisfaction of knowing
| that it has been succ essful in a very high de-
gree.
