James Kline is drawing a bead on a
certain politician Of Fremont county, and
if he shoots the way he is pointing his
gun, the coon will, if he knows his bust
ness, come down from his tree. This is
what a gentleman said to me last evening,
and | am inclined to agree with him.
Kline looked as though he meant bust
ness, and he is arraying himself in war
paint.
Dancing parties are all the CO. said
a gentleman to me Yesterday. They
have caught the infection e at Horse
creek. Thursday night they had a
hop at Baird & Allan's ranch, on the
upper Chug. The neighbors for twenty
five miles around gathered in force, and
danced from 7 in the evening until 6
o'clock the next morning, and no let up
except for supper. j. c. wore out a pair
of shoes, and it is said that his double
shuffies and pigeon wings were marvels of
grace and elegance.
Said a sport about town yesterday:
Frederick Brasaw, an attache Of Harry
Hynds' establishment on Seventeenth
street, is, so the boys say, badly stuck on
himself. Do you know him2 Well. he
thinks he sizes up with the best boxers in
the country, and would be perfectly capa-
bic Of giving points to the Boston slugger.
Yesterday the boys put up a job on him,
and Hynds was at the bottom of it. He
took the medal sent him by Richard X.
Fox, of the Police Gazette, and calling a
crowd around him, he presented the
medal to Brasaw as sent by Fox to the
champion boxer of Wyoming. Brasaw
swallowed the compliment and adorned
his person with the medal, and to the in
tense delight of the boys made a speech of
acceptance. Last night his hat wouldn't
fit his head, and he'll need a cooper if the
thing keeps on.
j. ]. Smith, of Chadron, arrived yes
terday and hung up his hat at the Inter
Ocean. By the courtesy of MIR. Lusk, l
