 "I was trying to think of some word to rhyme with burro," he answered. "I believe I'll write some verses on the burro. They will be ugly" she replied.
 "Now, how would this do?" he re- torted: .' Better than taking Luny Kuro; Is to go riding on a burro.' They were still laughing when they met Miss Bacon and her escort. Tell us,' she urged.

 "Yes. yes, aren't you?" s"Perhaps we won't get away to-mor. row" answered she, evasively. "No doubt about that we shall haste to go." The night proved fine. The moon was full, making the grounds look like fairy land. Late in the evening Fortescue laid his hand gently on Gertrude's arm.
 Come and take last look at Chey- enne," he said entreatingly. He led her to the upper piazza, and for few moments they stood silently gazing at the ideal mou ntain looming up between them and the western hor- izon, cutting off the world from that side. The moonlight softened it's rugged clefts and rocks.
 "The dancing and merriment seem frivolous remarked Gertrude in a low tone. Il shall never forget this night" ForteScue was silent. Surroundings are everything, went on Gertrude, innocently The peo- pie who live in continual sight of the mountains must have elevated thoughts at times, even the meanest of them"

SENATOR Teller is disposed to take a
gloomy view of the outlook for the
present and near future. He says: ~
myself believe the present dreadful con-
dition of our laboring and producing
people is the direct and Immediate re-
suit of bad legislation already on our
statute books, and other that is
threatened. but 1 have no hope of i'm
mediate legislation thut will give the
required relief" Henry NJ. may be
prophetic, but it must be remembered
that he is strong protectionist and
silver advocate. and the hostility Of
congress to his pet measures, especially
the silver cause, may have warped his
views. There are few. however, who
will doubt but that bad legislation has
been largely responsible for the un-
fortunate state of affairs.

supposed to be members of the Dalton
gang of trainrobbers, passed through Ell
Reno yesterday travelling eastward. The
sheriff telegraphed to the little town of
Yukon to intercept and arrest them. A
posse wss quickly organized, and when
the trainrobbers made their appearance
they were attacked. The defense was
quite as hot as the attack, and running
fight ensued. Mr.. Parrish was shot in
the groin. The bullet passed entirely
through him. He is not expected to hve

One of the robbers was shot under bis
horse and captured, but resisted to the
last, and several of bis captors bear cuts

Two southern Mines,

MEDFoRD, Or. May 23- Considerable,
excitement has been caused in this vicln.
ity during the past few days by the re-
suit of q partial cleanup of the Miller
placer mine. situated about five miles
west of this city. This mine was recently
purchased by Portland parties. and be
tween $4,000 and $4,000 has been ia :
ken out as the result of the past winters
run. A partial cleanup of the Sturgis
mine. about 12 miles from this city,
which was finished this week, produced
$4,000 In yellow metal for its owners,
These mines are considered two of the
best placer mines IN Southern Oregon,
and the result of the cleanup of both
has been watched with interest by min
ing men all over the state. The Miller
NINE comprises 240 acres, all of which is
considered as good as that worked in the
past. only two acres of which has been
touched during the last eight years. The
mine has been run with only one giant,
and the present company Is making ar
rangements to put IN two more giants,
as there Is plenty of water to run that
number during the winter season.
