and his charming spouse OF their
palatial home on Citrus avenue, and
has spent the past two or three days
looking at some of the iudge'spartially
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 80.
journing in 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-
ceived by special courier message
from Deputy Revenue Collector Boggs
and Deputy United States Marshals
Newton and Dwyer, stating that they
have arrested the parties who, for two
years past, have operated the illicit
whisky still that has SO long been baf-
fling the vigilance of the Government
officials, and will arrive here with
their prisoners before this issue of the
Miner and Ranchman (which has the
news exclusive, 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 spayine1 /
sheet that first and foremost among
those captured, and more certain of
conviction than he ever was of an hon
est living, is that Fidus Achates of his,
that sweet thing known as HI Hendrix,
heretofore editor of that disgraceful
rag the Gold Hill Avalanche-Hendrix,
the base, low-born creature whom we
have exposed time and again in the
past four years, and for whom the
poor old Prospector's editor, on the
other hand, has lis it because birds OF
a feather, etc. p ever carried an inky
cudgel. Will the latter shut up
now2
"In addition to Hendrix, there are
old Dan Hanks, proprietor OF inc Mer-
chants Hotel; Jim Fulton and Ike
Bullet, 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.
'1t appears that the night before
Colonel Tennison was assaulted, he ac-
cidentally overheard conversation
between two loungers on the hotel
porch, in which one of them said some
thing about revenue officer" On
reflection, the colonel decided that he
was Vne person feielioo w. in"'iSA
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 sd hur-
der of Deputy-Marshal White some
thing over 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
