The lady who came here a few
months ago from the East under en-
gagement and promised to marry a
gentleman who worked at the 0cci-
dental, has left for parts unknown. 1t
will be remembered that upon her ar
rival here she refused to marry the
person who had paid her fare out,
probably upon the ground that he
didn't march up to her expectations.
She has moved and had her being in

Joyed herself more or less. However,

her money to come out on, and got

Asks To BE Let Alone.

"Black" Wallace is around the

county is concerned the people want
no consolidation, and both members
Of the Legislature are pledged by their
party to try and defeat any scheme
that will tend to move the boundary
lines Of Lyon in any ann whatever.
Lyon is in a good healthy condition and
she wishes to remain so. Her indebt-
edness is only $4,000, and on the first
Of this year there was over $21 900 in
the treasury. All we ask is to be let
alone about boundaries and consolida-
ton, az we believe the people in our
county know much better what they
want than does the Central Pacific
Railroad or its lobbyists .-Lyon

The stock

Ranchmen everywhere remain in
good spirits. Practically there has
been no Winter yet from Texas to
Montana on the eastern slope Of the
Rocky Mountains and none from
Arizona TO British Columbia on the
Pacific Slope. From every part OF the
range country word comes that cattle
are in as good condition as they were
in during the Fall months. In most
sections really good beef can be gath
cred from the open range. Hence,
the hope is everywhere strong in the
breasts of herd owners that the Win
ter's loss will prove exceptionally
light. The principal fear now is that
precipitation will prove so small that
another drouthy eason will result and
the ranges be shorto feed.-Cheyenne

brazen assertion that the Central Pa

Constitutional Convention is in keep
ing with the general programme for
the defeat OF the measure which has
been demanded by a vote of the peo-
pie. That corporation has always
been, and is, at the present time, bit
terly opposed to a convention, and its
principal lobbyist, Mr.. Wallace, is
obeying instructions from head
quarters by travelling over the State
interviewing members-elect OF the
Legislature in opposition to any ac-
ton which will result in the conven-
ing of such a body. Such a bare
faced assertion Of falsity, in the face OF

the popular will as expressed through
