He Got Away.
A stranger from down the country

day noon and sat down to dinner, and
after giving his order called for nap.
kin with q sky blue border 1t has al
ways been the custom for guests at the
Big Bear to wipe their mouths on their
coattails or the corner Of the table, and
the strangers request could not be COM
piled with. He was offered piece Of
coffee sack, but he insisted on raising
row and was finally put out Of doors.
In the struggle to get him out he stabbed
waiter named Bolt in the shoulder.
In the excitement and confusion over
this the fellow was allowed to get away.
About so indignant citizens made a
long search for him, but he had prob
ably taken to the hills. Other towns
should be on the lookout for him. He is
just as apt to demand lump sugar or
real cream as to ask for a napkin, and
it is evident that he has entered the
territory to retard her prosperity and
demolish her sacred institutions. He is
a square shouldered, chunky man, with
yaller eyes and red face, and in case
he is lynched we trust that some one of
the crowd will send us full account.
Take No Chances.
We are in receipt Of letter from
young man in the east who says he de-
sires to come out here next summer and
hunt grizzly bear. In hunting the grizz-
~ he always wears full dress suit
and carries gold headed cane, and
he wants to know if there would be any
objection to it around here. In fatherly
way we would advise the young man to
stay in the east and hunt grasshoppers.
The grizzly bear might or might not
raise objections to being hunted by such
hunter. Our people might be paralyzed
into inactivity by the sight Of such q
novelty, or they might turn loose and
begin to shoot. There is no telling just
how things would go, and for that rea-
son the young man, had better keep
away and take no chances. We once put
on plug hat to pursue a grizzly and
he turned to and run us four miles, and
we once walked down Apache avenue
with pair Of russell shoes on and had
them shot off our feet. Stay east, young
man-stay east!

visit in this city. He was in the en-
ploy Of the Northern Pacific at Ran

He says that there seems no doubt
but Mckinley will carry Bryan's

The people in the western part OF the
state are largely engaged in sheep
raising and they believe that Bryan's
free trade policy is directly against
their interests. The sentiment
among the farmers and .stOckraisers
is against Bryan and his free silver,
