The Old WAN Had Grit.

"Old Sammy Anthony was the gam
est man 1 ever saw" continued Colonel
HnrdemNn. 1.-TWO young fellows courted
a girl Mt Montezuma once, and she gave
one the go-by and promised to marry
the other. The day was set and old
Sammy was to marry them. The
young fellow who was discarded went to
the old maa and said to him: If you
marry that couple I'll kill you
"WeIl, if I live and the Lords willing
I'll marry them," said the preacher.
"When the dny came sure enough til e
fellow was there. The couple stood up
and old Sammy commenced the mar
riage ceremony, The fellow came to
the door as the ceremony was going on
and shot the old man down. He raised
up, leaning on his elbow, and finished
the ceremony; but the wound came
near killing him. "--[Atlanta Constitu-

Rockies. EIection Rets.

The Truckee Republican says: One
young man bet his Summer savings on
Cleveland, and when the first bad news
came tried to sell hin bet for fifty cents
on the dollar, saying that he could not
afford to lose hia money. There are
ohters who also lose nearly their entire
Summers savings, and cold Winter is
coming. Out in Sierra Valley there
was some extravagant betting. Two
Republicans bet all they had--horses,
cows, wagons. hay, grain, hogs, besides
all the money they had and could bor-
row. A couple Of Democratic ranchers
covered these bets with like articles,
and one even mortgaged his form to get
money to bet on the election.

A Complaining sheepman.

The antipatby of cattlemen to sheep
men was illustrated in peculiar man
ner at Lakeview recently, says the East
Oregonian. The county pays bounty
on coyote scalps. An old Scotch gentle
man came rushing into the Clerks Office
last week and made the following re-
port; "Mr. Boyd, you issued script for
bounty on five sculps from Warmers a
few weeks ago, Well, sir, last night
the varmints got into my flock and killed
ten of my sheep. This morning I killed
two of the coyotes; and, sir, would you
believe me! They were scalped; both
ears all gone, and their heads oil raw
Those blawsted cowboys had lns d
them, rim them dewn on horseback, aud
getting their scalps let them go to worry
us sheepnen.
