A dispatch from Demming, New
Mexico, says: "Lieutenant Schwatka
has arrived here. His party has been
successful beyond expectations in
their explorations, and especially in
Southern Chihuahua, where living
cliff and cave dwellers were found in
great abundance, wild as any of the
Mexican tribes at the time of Cortez's
conquest. The abodes they live in
are exactly similar to the old, aban-
doned cliff dwellings, of Arizona and
New Mexico, about which there has
been much speculation. 1t was al
most impossible to get near them, so
wild and timid were they. Upon the
approach of white people, they flee
to their caves by notched sticks plac-
ed against the face of the cliffs, if
steep, although they can ascend verti-
cal stone faces if there are the slight
est crevlces for their fingers and toes.
These cliff dwellers are sun worship.
ers, putting their newborn children
out in the full rays of the sun the
first day of their lives, and showing
many other forms of devotion to the
great lumlnary. They are usually
tall, lean, and well-formed, their skin
being blackish red, much nearer
the color of the negro than the cop.
per-colored Indian of the United
States. Schwatka claims that moth

these people, except by the half-In.
dian mountain Mexicans, and thinks
his investigation will be of immense
anthropological and archaeological
value. He estimates the cave and
cliff dwellers to be from 5000 to l2,.
600 in number, armed only with
bows, arrows, and stone hatchets."--

Probably most persons are not
aware that In addition to the regular
American flag there is an official flag
of the President which he alone is
authorized to use and which is meyer
displayed except in his honor. The
flag is dark blue, with white eagle
with outstreatched wings and hold
ing shield in Its claws. Above
this eagle and between its wings are
seven white stars and beneath it,
half oa each side, are six more, the
thirteen being emblematical OF the

was the official flag of President

Judge FELTON,, of Canon City, says
there Is a difference between the soil
on the north and south side of the
Arkansas river. On the south side
there is sandy loan, and there the
Concord grape does well; ON the
north side the roll is heavy imper-
vious adobe, where the water stands
around the roots too long and the
grapes sour. There the Concord
does not thrive we'll. Mr.. Mckay

LAMAR, COLORADO, SATURDAY JULY 18Th. 1883

We extract the following items
from the last issue of the Arizona
Kicker:
The Last Straw-For the last six
months Major Davis OF this burg has
lost no opportunity of abusing us
and boasting of what he would do if
we did not step softly. The reason
for this conduct lies iu the fact that
the Kicker not only called him a
horse thief, but proved HIM biga-
mist besides. Last Saturday the
Major, who has no more right to that
title than a mule has to professor"
borrowed shotgun and gave out
that he had camped on our trail and
meant to riddle our system with
buckshot on sight. Word was
brought to US, aud, although we were
busy at the time experimenting our
combined weekly newspaper, harness
shop, grocery, bazaar and gun store
(all under one roof and the largest
retail establishment in Arizona), we
laid aside our work and went over
to Snyder's saloon in search of the
Major. We found him, and we gave
him such whipping as no man IN
this town ever got before. He lies
a broken and stranded wreck on the
shores of time, so to speak, and the
doctor says 1t will be six weeks be-
fore be will find any more trails or
do any more camping.
Slipped Cog-In company with
the elite of this neIghborhood we
were invited to the adobe of Judge
Graham last Thursday evening TO
witness the marriage of County
Clerk Dan Scott to the beautiful
Arabella Johnson, only daughter of
the aristocra,ic widow johnson of
Bay Horse Hights. The widow had
made a spread worthy of the days OF
Cleopatra, and Dan had on a new
suit sent by express from Omaha for
the occasion. Everything passed off
pleasantly until 8 o'clock, at which
hour the bride was discovered to be
missing, and an investigation soon
brought ont the fact that she had
gone dead back on Dan and skipped
the tra-la, whatever that is, with q
bold cowboy named French Jim.
She left message to the effect that
she could never, never love a man
with a cataract in his lest eye, and
that meant Dan. There was feast,
but po wedding, and Dan will have
to try agaiu.-Detroit Free Press.

As the "llttle bare foot" season is
at hand, says an exchange, we are re-
minded that during the period we
often hear of one who has stuck
rusty nail in his foot and lock-jaw
has resulted therefrom. All such
wounds can be healed without any
fatal consequences following them.
The remedy is simple. 1t is only
necessary to smoke such wennd, or
any wound or bruise that is infiamed,
with burning wool or wooden cloth.
Twenty minutes in the smoke Of
wool will take the pain out of the
worst case of inflammation arising
from a wound.
