EY-SHERIFF BAKER.

Trego county now has her third sheriff.
George Baker, her second one, bade good
bye to the duties of his Office last Monday.
In his department, Mr.. Baker has been
quiet and unobtrusive; in the discharge of
his official duties, vigilant and brave; in
the presentation of bills to the .county
board, honest to cent. These facts do
not, we are aware, mean SO much to peo-
pie who have lived here only since Mr..
Baker began his duties as sheriff as they
do to us; but the majority of the voters in
the county will grasp the point which we
make.
In the political affairs of this county,
Mr.. Baker is one of the strongest factors,
and this is so because of his sincerity.
His word is as good as his bond. He has
one of the best homes in Trego county, is
following with profit his business; and
the World wishes him the bright and
happy future which it knows he merits in
so high degree.

McMillen, of this place, while walking on
the crosswalk between Alex. Stephenson's
billiard hall and Hegener's bakery, lost his
footing, falling with such force as to break
bone just above his left wrist. He Is
getting along as well as could be expect

prevent the speedy recovery which could
be desired.

En-. PsEss:-For the last few davs
there has been lull in mining loca-
tions. Geo. Brown and Brooks have To-
Gated the Rescue, or portion of it and
are proceeding to clear out the old tun-
mel and put it on n producing basis.
Pony Smead and Geo. DYER are OPEN
ing up some of their numerous proper
ties. When the mill owners of the
camp heard Of this, they each ordered a
new set of battery shoes.
A number of mining operatives have
recently been in the district prepared to
purchase if they found anything that
suited them. Eveyone acquainted with
mining recognizes that mining men
would rather pay sum expressed in
six or seven figures for big mine really
worth it, than to have little mine given
to them. Unfortunately we fellows who
prospect for and develop mines have to
take such az nature furnishes and cam
not make them to order.
Our staid and sober minded citizens
were startled few mornings since at
finding posted upon the bulletin board
the following mysterious placard:
