burned full of holes, turned it loose and
allowed himself to be lifted off bis feet
and carried up the side of the mountain,
never getting hundred feet from the

he did little betterin Silver City max

The Bob & Eva mckinley troupe, will
give two performances in DeLamar on
next Friday and Saturday nights. They
can make more fun than box of mon
keys. 1t will be remembered that they
gave two performances here last fall,
and persons now in the camp who
attended them will be on hand to well
come their return, and we hope the
later corners will not miss this chance
for enjoyment. They return this time
with troupe of seven persons, all said
to be accomplished artists in their seve-
raj specialtes. Bob Mckinley is splen-
did violinist and good all around
change artist and comedian. His
wife is sprightly and good in all the
parts she takes. Owyhee has sort of
claim on this clever couple, Bob's faith
er having run a show in early days in
Silver City, when Bob was a kid, and
Eva having been here often enough to
make hosts of friends. Turn out. every
body, and hear them. You will all get
the worth of your money.

Great was the rustling done by the sa-
loon men last week TO find bondsmen, in
compliance with the requirements of the
new liquor law. The law requires them
to give bonds in the sum of one thou
sand dollars, TO keep quiet, orderly
houses, and the bondsmen obligate
themselves to pay all costs, forfeitures,
fines and damages up to that amount,
which may result from violation of the
law. We believe nearly all the saloon
men in the county will file bonds and
continue in business although some of
them have not yet found sufficient sure
ties.

consider it the proper thing to seek
health and recreation in the mountains
