road was built to Elizabeshtown and

be drawn from those camps by our mer-
chants who are selling snpplias at very
small margin.-Ca Belle Cresset.

scalped bya vicious dog belonging to

soon after the accident. The boy le, we
are glad to say, progressing nicely and
no permanent danger seems to have been
done.---Lordsburg Liberal.
