through the pearly gates.
Sam Godbe has returned from an
extended trip to southern California

ing business. Mr.. Godbe is a quiet,

A score of men were searching yes
terday for the stranger who brought
in the 800 black quartz gold ore to

foot body of native gold. They do not
mean to lie about it, but the further
away they get, the bigger it gets-in

The Cold Bug of the New Recorder
has evidently been mis-named, for
from all indications, the insect is
nothing more than an intoxicated
tumble-bug; or a tarantula that de-
lights in inf1icting its bite and venom
into anything that comes along, its

animal life, it might attract some at
tention from scientists.
