We are little behind time this
week, but hope that our readers will
excuse US for once, as house moving
and the arrival of little angel in
the shape of a girl-bahy, at the home
of the editor of this paper, is liable
to upset the brains of any mortal.

drawn of his land known as Bnnnen

Mr.. A. x. Lee, the jeweler, has
gone to Flagstaff. We deeply de-
plore the loss of Mr.. Lee, for he is
one of the best citizens Needles had.
While his business relations forced
his return to Flagstaff, we are quite
sure that he has a fond feeling for
Needles and his many friends here,
May success follow him. Booths

The race of ,.,mile dash between
+. Z Fosters horse "Jo Bowers"
and McDonald's horse Jumbo"
last Sunday, proyel to be an easy
victory for Fosters horse, and al
though the track was very heavy,
the former horse made the excellent
time, for three year old, of Sc sec,
coming under the wire in an easy
gallon. We understand that another
racing match was made on the same
day to be run on Monday next for
$50 a side between Fosters horse
"Bobtail" and McDonald's horse
Cricket, distance 375 yards.
1t seems that the steer tying CON
test last Sunday had some influence
on the legs of several of our boys,
who, after coming back from the
race grounds, were afflicted with
Tartar fever" aud were seen sleep
ing the sleep Of Bachus on every
kind Of roo5ting place. One had a
good nap on the cross piece of a
telegraph pole, some trimmed the
and Others disturbed the
quietituds of our sylvanian forest
by musical variations of their nasal
organs. Well, the boys had fun and
as usual no fighting occurred as is
often the case in other places.
