leave their camp-which he was, no
doubt, glad TO do.
Like the gentleman ofculture, re-
finement, education, good breeding and
unerring Judgment that he is, Major
Tennison came to New Kimberly as
fast as his legs would bring him, know
ing full well that the people of the city,
who know a gentleman when they see
one, would treat him with hospitality
and consideration, as they do, indeed,
every one who behaves himself in any
thing but Gold Hills popular hoodlum
style.
''The distinguished visitor is at pres
ent the guest of Judge Williams and
his charming spouse at their palatIal
home on Citrus avenue, and has spent
the past two or three days looking at
some of the judges partially developed
bonanzas in this vicinity"
The next issue of the Miner and
Ranchman presented the following:
Last week the Miner and Ranch
man published Exclusively the ac-
count of the brutal treatment at Gold
Hill of Colonel TennisOn, the distin-
guished Eastern gentleman who is so
journing i'm our midst, and who, by the
way, has made some heavy invest
ments in New Kimberly mining prop
erty for the syndicate he represents.
incidentally, the colonel states, with
out reservation, we. may interpolate,
that the Miner and Ranchman is the
best newspaper west of st. Louis and
south of Denver.
''There is another chapter to the
story, and an interesting one. At the
last hour before going to press, we re-
ceive by special courier message from
Deputy Revenue Collector Boggs and
Deputy United States Marshals New
ton and Dwyer, stating that they have
arrested the parties who, for two years
past, haye operated the Illicit whisky
still that has so long been battling the
VI tlt
and will arrive here with their prison
ers before this issue of the Miner and
Ranchman (which has the news ex-
elusive, as usual, the old, worm-eaten,
musty Prospector being, as it ever was,
too stupid to know an item Of interest
when it sees one is cold from the press.
"And will the venerable, moss grown
Prospector believe it? 1t affords Us
unmingled satisfaction to record for
the hide-bound editor of that spawned
sheet that first and foremost among
those captured, and more certain of
conviction than he ever was ofan hon
est living, is that Fidus Achates of his,
that sweet thing known as Hi Hendrix
heretofore editor of that disgraceful
rag the Gold ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, the
base, low-born creature whom we have
exposed time and again in the past four
years, and for whom the poor old Pros
pector's editor on the other hand,
has is il because birds of feather etc).
ever carried an inky cudgel. Will the
latter shut up-now?
ain addition to Hendrix, there are
old Dank Hanks, proprietor ofthe Mer-
chants Hotel; Jim Fulton and Ike
Bullett, of the Gold Hill exchange
Mart Wolf, of the White Wings Sa-
loon; Joe Godfrey and Pat O'Hearn
the latter two being caught at work in
the still.
at appears that the night before
Colonel Tennison was assaulted, he ac-
cidentally overheard a conversation
between two loungers OH the hotel
porch, in which one of them said some
thing about revenue officer" On
reflection, the colonel decided that he
was the person referred to, inasmuch
as several parties had tried unsuccess-
fully to learn his business; and the re-
suit was that he put two and two to-
gether, and on meeting Colonel Boggs
in our office, told him of his theory As
TO what was back of the assault upon
him. Thereupon the officers went to
Gold Hill, with the gratifying result
above recorded.
''If, as is believed, the arrested men
can be convicted of the supposed muir
der of Deputy-Marshal White some
thing over a year ago, it will go hard
with them. AT any rate, the people
of this county will be pleased to know
that they are safe for good, long terms
in the pen."-.Sdn Francisco ArOhdHt.
