wha. Become. of the old Buns.

.ens of Phoebe have always been gifted
with enquiring minds, and whenever an
obtuse question has arisen, the matter
has been debated pro and con until
final solution was obtained.
A short time ago a question was
brought up that agitated our thinkers in
no slight degree-"What became OF the
old Buns. Our localtalent was strained
to its utmost calibre, Every citizen has
his chip in and as We are not conserva-
tive people by any means, it was finally
decided to hold a public meeting and
have the question thoroughly venti'
lated, and the result Of the meeting be
given broadcast to the press for circula'
ton over the vast area of our glorious
republic, as well as the boundless wlids
of equatorial Africa.
Several of our largest halls and build
ings were named that would accommo-
date the speakers and the audience, but
each one was set aside as too small, and
it was finally decided to hold the meet
ing on the Fiat in the open air as 1t
would give the speakers plenty OF breath
ing spells and room to cut loose on the
subject.
The meeting took place at the ap-
pointed time, and the vast crowd in at
tendance occupied ground enough to
cover an acre of daisies. The meeting
being called to order, great difficulty
was experienced in the selection OF a
Chairman, all the speakers being anxious
to obtain the chair as it was the only
available seat on the ground. A gentle
man recently from the grade at Clover,
suggested that if the meeting wished tc
have a good road bed the meant plat
form) it ought to be well balasted, and
proposed the name of gentleman on
Main Street who could carryiboth weight
and dignity to the chair, carried unani
mously. with cheers that made the lndl
ans in Pahranagat think the Messiah hat
arrived in Pioche.
The gentleman Of weight and dignit,
was escorted to the chair, but hesitate'
before seating himself, and appeared t
have some misgiving as to the stablllt
of the structure. Thanking the meetin
for the honor conferred upon him, he re
auested the speakers to start in and toe
their horns.
A general utility man aronnd saloon
was the first speaker. He said he WI
not accustomed to public speaking, br
put him dealing stud and he did NJ
propose to get left as long as there WEI
any pairs in the deck or chance for an
; chips on the side. He said he was {
orphan and long way from his friend
and would throw himself on the cleme
cy of the audience, the question of Bur
was too much for his cistern and on tn
: subject knew no more than last veal
birds nest and il gave him great plea
ure to make way for somebody else
). chip.
The next in rotation was an 9
IS Piocher, who advanced with the digni
= of Rothschids. He said he fully &C
|. Cured in all of the previous speakers
marks, but though heart and hand wi
the meeting, he thought it a question
such vital Importance that it waslbeyo
y human ken and ought to be left to
rs spiritualists for solution. Since
he soiourn here he had come in cont
lie with large number of Buns and had
IN variably given them the cold should

RS at home; as to their anatomical stru
