Buffalo Gap for some time, occurred at
Byrnes saloon one day this week, in
which l.. B. Reno of the first part and q
lighted cigar in the pocket Of the said
l., b. Reno of the second part, were the
principle agitators. Whether Reno
placed the cigar in his pocket thinking
it was his mouth or not, will probably
never be known, but il got there just
the same. and soon the smoke and
flames began to creep out around his
coat collar. About that time the fun
began, and for short time the expound-

mander of the Hay canyon brigade dur

untutorsd braves Of the bad lands, per-
formed the ghost dance to such perfsc-
