bright red lap robe over his person, and
generally a stiff Quaker hat with leath-
er band. His hair Is very thick, black
and coarse. and Is mostly cut oil square

Johnson Sides Is well known Piute

Piutes did. he now established an hotel
up the valley in the Sierras and decided
TO lead a life Of industry. he built an
hostelry called the Shack del Poker

Nr. Sam. Davis, says fill. him with won

with first class hotel could be found
at this place. So the Piute people locked
up their own homes and, ejecting the
cat. they spat on the fire and moved
to the new summer hotel. They took
their friends with them. They had no
money, but they knew johnson Sides
and they visited him all summer.
In the fall Mr. Sides closed the house,
and taking a rubber cuspidor, with a
capacity of two gallons, he resumed his
blanket and went back to live with his
tribe. When the butcher wagon came

Mr.. Sides had been q temperance man

himself behind a tree, where he was
asked to Join himself in social nip. He
had hardly wiped away an idle tear with
the corner OF his blanket and replaced
the stopper in his tear jug when the
local representative of the U. G. J. z. T.
A. of Reno came upon him. He was re-
ported 70 the lodge, and his character
bade fair to be smirched so badly that
