Tie tears ran down the face of Arkan- saw Bob like rain off the gable end of a corn crib, and Ted Williams and Jim Henderson and several more bowed their heads, while their forms shook with the sobs they would not allow to escape. The boys dug a grave on the banks of the Brazos river, and that night as the clouds drifted away and the moonlight fell upon the snow GOV cred ground and sparkled the ice laden limbs of the forest trees, we laid poor Briggs down in his narrow resting place. The only requiem that was sung was the roar of the turbid Brazos Rs it surged along on its way to the sea-a mass sung by nature. When the grave had been filled Jim Henderson said:
 "I think @e ought to have some kind of service, It ain't right, by a darn sight, to go away without sayin' somethin' over the grave any you fellows got bible?"
 No one had bible, nor had any one seen one in a number of years.
 "Well, suppose some one says sort of prayer?"

yipiIante Notices.

Considerable CONSERVATION and DISC lie.

element by the appearance OF the :abaIis'
tic letters "3-7.77," accompanied by the
simple word warming" On the doors oil
two or three saloons in town yesterday,
OF course, no amount OF inquiry could
elicit the origin OF the notice.
In times past it's import was
sufficiently significant to rid the town
where the notices appeared OF the element
desired to be eliminated from the com
munity. The Objectionable parties fitted
the cap to their head without further cere-
mony and decamped, usually without
waiting for the stage. La these days
Of steam and telegraph, police reg
ulaticn and ample means of enforcing the
law, the use of the notice has fallen into
"%innocuous desuetude." But it's appear
aDce again was generally taken to mean
yesterday that it was more directed against
SEINE OF the frequenters OF the places
in question than against the proprie-
tors. This, OF course, is only con-
lecture. 1t is whispered that the
old vigilante organization existing here 10
times past still maintains it's existence,
and if the warning came FROM it there is
no doubt that it is too serious to be re-
garded as a joke. Time will show, and no
very long time, either, who the parties are
that IL is intended to warn.

ONE of the Mormon chippy chasers Of
the "Inter Mountain," this particular
black beetle who stirs up most of the
efluvia surrounding that disreputable
institution, said to a gentleman, the
other day, SO the gentleman informs THE
MINER, that these personal controversies
didn't hurt him, as be had nothing to
lose, anyway. He further declared, SO
the gentleman AYERS. that he the black
beetle) once went in good as we'll as in
low company, and he found that he had
to abandon n or the other, and SO he
made up his mimi he would stick to the
'chippy' element, inasmuch as he got
along just as well, SO far as he could see,
and it suited him much better. This,
the gentleman AYERS, is the substance of
the black beetles diagnosis Of society
as he finds it, and particularly as appli-
cable to him. Well, he's to be pitied, in
deed.

Not Yet certain of His Identity.

The Chinaman arrested on Tuesday even
ing for the murder of Braden is still held in
custody by the Sheriff. The latter says
some people have positively identified him
as the man who used to cut wood back Of
the Broadway restaurant in the alley
while Others are as positive he ia not the
man. Yesterday Mrs. Mary Hackett and
another lady went to the Jail to take
a look at him, and they were certain he ID
the man in question. He has hitherto
refused to talk English until he say Mrs.
Hackett, when ne became voluble-for a
Chinaman-and admitted a lengthy &C.
qua~intance with the lady in the capacity
of wood cutter. When brought to
Jail his chin bore evidences
OF close shaving recently, but
it is cropping out again and he will soon
present the fitness OF hirsute chin growth
said to have distinguished the culprit. II
will then be possible to tell wi b reasonable
certainty how closely he resembles the old
~woodcutter, but until then this mans
identity with the man wanted will remain
in doubt. The Shsriff will hold him until
this result is reached.

In reporting back to the House favor
ably d bill for a pension Of $500 q year
to the widow Of Gen. Sheridan, the COM
mittee on invalid pensions demonstrated
against the ~precedents and practice Of
giving such large pensions to 50 many
widows, numbers of whom were less
deserving than the N in the case in
point. This pension encouragement Il
one of the swindles to which the nation
has long been subjected. The people are
willing to pay every deserving relict OF
the nations strife a proper compensation
but they object to the inequalities prac-
ticed daily in the distribution OF these
moneys. There are SO many deserving
veterans, widows or orphans who get q
mere mite, while others. less deserving
get large incomes from this source, that
there is proper protest against the unfair
manner in which the pension moneys
are distributed.

The mountaineering nihilist of the
"Inter Mountain" continues to make
his threats of injury to the person, as
we'll as reputation, of those connected
with The MINER. Is he going to blow
up this office with dynamite, too ? or
rush In with cannon, and armed to
teethP We doubt not he is venomous
enough to do the as.assin's work, to-day,
even though Mountain Meadow massa-
cres have long sinced ceased to be profit
able, even if still popular, with that
class Of moral lepers. The will is good
enough for any low deed, or this "Inter

this tendency crop out with such spas
modic frequency. As an assassin of

"WHERE will you find, outside of the

upon this Office can never be entirely
removed, we admit, and the black beetle

tions ever sent out to any entertainment
in the Territory. 1t is from the Marcus
DAILY Engine and Hose Cos. Nos. l and 2
of Anaconda. to attend their second annual
ball and parade on New Years Eve. 1t is
in the form OF a banner. 8 by IA inches i'm
size, depending from a gilt rustic pole to
which it is attached by rings. The banner
is of white satin on the diverse and pale
green satin on the reverse side stitched
together. The invitation is tastefully
designed, printed on the center of
the white satin in red with a
border at the top and bottom OF stars in
two colors, brown aud blue. On the oppo-
site side the names OF the honorary and ae-
tive members OF the two companies are
printed. Four heavy silk tags, blue and
buff alternately, give an elegant finish to
the banner, the typographical portion OF
which is the work of Mr.. Kester OF the
Inter Mountain job department., who de-
serves all the credit for the design.
