through the money drawer. Foalk de-
livered the brandy, received his pay
and the stranger drove OF. About 10
o'clock that night Foalk discovered that

A DIVORCE COURT ROMANCE.

A Curious Statement Made in q Santa
Barbara Paper.
Santa Barbara Press: This city is not
entirely without its occasional romantic
episodes or frequent domestic dietresses,
as is evidenced by a "rare bit' OF gos-
sip. A couple who have been married
several years and living here, have mu-
tually agreed to separate and steps are
being taken to secure divorce on the
ground Of desertion, which has been
made up for the occasion, being cheer
fully given by the husband.
The romantic part of the tale is the
story of pair OF youthful lovers, sep
arated by trivial lmisunderstandine and
the well-known fact that "tfue love does
not run smooth" The Qirl
marries in tit of piaue.
Years pass and the old lover un-
expectedly turns up. Explanations fol-
low and the wife is sorry for her hasty
marriage and gives up to bitter despair.
The once happy home becomes the
scene OF much unhappiness until the
distracted husband, with a self-sacri-
ficing spirit and heroism rarely dis
played, resigns his wife and gives ground
Tor the charge of desertion.
So goes the story, and it is as further
said that II the charge can be made to
stand Chat is If it is brought at alb tn
old time lovers will be united in the
holy bonds of matrimony. If all the
facts are true in the case as reported
there is some sensational news to be
given later on.

MORE ABOUT PEGLEG.
A DowSET M An GIVES SOME REM
INIsCENCEs OF HIM.
Tho Old Fellow as Member of Colonel
Geiger's STAFF ON an Indian Res
sryation-some Old Time
Memories.

Mr.. @. H. Eberle writes to the Dow
ney Champion as follows about Pegleg
Smith, the discoverer of the famous
mine supposed to be mythical, and in
search Of which numbsrless prospectors
have lost their lives:
OF the many old pioneers and trap
pers of the Pacific coast whose lives have
furnished material for romance, none
are more familiar than Pegleg Smith
and his wonderful mine. We have seen
no account of the old trapper after he
left the Fort TETON Indian reservation,
where he had stopped several months
after the close of active life as pros
pector and trapper, as sort of q PEN
sioner Of the Indian department. From
our personal knowledge we can give the
closing chapter OF the old hunters biog.
raphy.
Col. Thomas J. Henley was superin-
tendant of Indian affairs for California
'58. The Nome Lackee reservation in Te-
hama county had been established by
him and Col. Vincent E. Geger duly
installed as superintendent in charge.
A large number of Indians had been
6ovh1A oA Al IlOAA thO uiAClOIo AVASuCIA
counties, and with them came men
familiar with their habits and dialect,
who were given positions to assist in
their management. On his return to
Nome Lackee from an official visit to
the TETON reservation, Colonel Henley
was accompanied by old Pegleg Smith,
who was duly installed ae one of Colonel
Geiger's official staff at reservation
headquarters. In the spring of '58 we
often visited the reservation and never
failed to find old Pegleg comfortably
seated in his big easy chair enjoying mis-
pipe. Whether the old fellows name
was on the pay roll or not we never in
quired, but his only business seemed
to be to take the world as easy as possi-
BILE.
Vince Geiger killed a man and disap-
peared. He was man of great popu-
larity, prominent politician and an
able speaker and splendid rifle shot.
What became of him may never be
known. Col. B. f. Washington,
we believe, of the San francisco
succeeded Geiger. Old Peg
leg still retained his position until his
death, which occurred, we believe, in
'59 or go. Colonel Tobin, now residing
in San Francisco, who accompanied
Colonel Henley in his travels to and
from the several reservations, can give
some interesting "reminiscences of thes Q
early days of the California reservations,
and will doubtless remember well the
Did mountaineer and trRpper.
