THE SAGE BRUSH GORILLA.

A writer in the Emmett Index, in
answer to an inquiry of eastern friends,
gives the following description of "the
sage brush gorilla"
A sage brush gorilla is cross be-
tween an Indian and a coyote lacking
the culture of either. He tries to asso-
ciate with cow boys, but his company
is rejected although he is sometimes
found among them. 1t is an easy mat
ter to tell one of them wherever you
see him for he always has an old rusty
gun on his person or tied to the horn
of his saddle. He wears an old No. 8
SLOUGH hat and No. 8 COW hide boot,
with not look of intelligence on bis
unwashed face or a smooth hair on his
uncombed head. When he opens his
mouth his head is half off aud when he
smiles the whole top of his head is an
island. His mouth is a stowaway for
tongh beef and sour dough bread.
Dried applies to him is a luxury. His
mode of travelling is on horse back,
generally on pinto with sore back,
bare feet, split ears and glass eve.
While in town he never feeds his horse
but ties him up to some fence where he
stands until late hour at night, while
the gorilla is in some saloon sponging
drinks. At late hour at night he will
jump on his poor old horse, put spurs
to him, run up and down the street
bowling like his ancestors firing his old
rusty gun IN the air and in his imagin-
alton thinks ne mas subdued and in
Inundated the town, but if he only
knew it he has only succeeded in scar
ing small children and nervous old lad.
les, in disgusting the neighborhood
and in causing people to think there
is more need of missionaries at home
than there is in darkest Africa. His
education rarely runs higher than a
dime novel and he generally signs his
name with an X.

A SNAKE STORY.

John GllhoOley killed a rattlesnake
just east of town last Tuesday that
had AZ Fattles and a button. He meas
ured z feet ~ inches in length, and
when killed was found to have the de.
composed bodies of a mink, two frogs
and couple Of young robins in him.
Mr.. GilhOOly secured one of the fangs
intact and is using it for q toothpiek.
Those who have seen the monster
claim that his eyes are as large as q
quarter Of q dollar and the skin after
being detached was large enough for a
young mans pants. The superstition
is that he is the father of the whole
rattlesnake tribe Of this section of the
country, and has lived to see Malad
valley transformed from bowling
waste to a valley teeming with cult
walton.
Two peculiarities of this immense rep.
tile are that on his head there were
two soft bOny projections resembling
horns that when cut off were full of
dark green liquid, supposed to be pois-
on, and on his belly were some 80 pairs
OF Shiny feet, careful inspection of
which revealed an exact similarity to
70 that Of a well formed mans foot in
miniature. These feet have been cut
of BY curiosity fends and there is no
telling what has become Of them. The
Snake itself was devoured by some of
Daniel r. Jones hogs. The last acct
dent, however, was nothing but care
lessness on the part of Mr., Gilheoley
and the result is that the finest speci
men Of the rattlesnake ever seen in
this county IL only a matter Of news
paper history. That snake IL It had
been captured alive would have been
worth to the New York Geological
Gardens $1,000 in gold coin, but Mr..
GilhOoley had no time to estimate its
value as the snake opened the attack
and he was forced to kill it in self de-
Tense. The Enterprise offers So in
cash to any Of the parties possessing a
q pair of the feet of this snake who

them over to us.-Malad Enterprise.

and little girl in the vicinity of the
alley at the rear of Turner & Shane's
He watched proceedings for few mo-
ments and seeing the fellow offering
the little girl money and motioning her
to come to him, he went where they
were and questioning the little girl
found her to be the ten year old daugh-
ter of one of our citizens. She told
him the fellow offered her dollar to
come down into an old cellar. He
at once arrested the fellow and took
him before Justice Wheeler, where he
gave his name as Edward Wynn. He
plead not guilty to charge of assault
with intent to commit rape, but after
hearing the evidence said he must have
been very drunk and changed the plea
to guilty. He was bound over to the
district court.
He had been working on the section
at Market Lake and got his check
cashed after coming here and got on a
big drunk.-Idaho Register.

GOLD AND SILVER.
Ex-President Harrison Discusses Our
Monetary System.

Ever since the resumption of
specie payments, in 1879, the Treasury
has paid gold for greenbacks when
gold was demanded, and has redeemed,
in the same way, the treasury notes is
sued under the Sherman Law. The
Secretary of the Treasury has never ex-
ercised the discretion given him to re-
deem the latter notes in silver--holdlng
that his discretion was limited to such
use of silver as would not destroy the
parity of the gold and silver dollars.
And our Secretaries have been right, 1
think, in holding that the parity Of our
gold and silver coins will be destroyed
the moment the government takes
from the holder the greenback or treas
ury note the election of the coin he
will receive in exchange for it. If he
wants gold, and silver is thrust upon
him, the latter is deprecated and the
former appreciated. If the holder Of a
United States note cannot get gold at
par for it he will pay a premium for
the gold he must have to meet gold
obligation. A premium on gold would
at once drive gold out of circulation,
for a coin that is at a premium cannot
be used in trade. No one is bound to
pay gold to the government for any
tax or other debt due to it. So that
practically the situation is this: The
treasury holds itself bound to give gold
to every one presentinga United States
note, and has no way of compelling
any one to pay gold to it. Such gold
as 1t gets comes from persons who
choose to take paper money for gold
deposited at the minis or assay Offices,
or to pay in gold coin some govern
ment tax. Formerly all duties uuon
imports were payable only in gold.
Now when the gold reserve gets low it
can only be restored by the sale of
bonds, under the powers given to the
secretary in the legislation relating to
the resumption of specie payments

SHEEP Law DEMANDED.

Utah needs a sheep license law for
the protection such law would afford
her own cattle raisers and wool grow
ers. Nevada has such a law, the con-
stitutionality of which is thus referred
to by one of our Idaho exchanges:
'The sheep license law has recently
been delared constitutional by the Su-
preme court of that state. and Idaho
and adjoining states to Nevada will
soon be OVerrun with sheep from other
states in order to escape the tax. Last
fall case was tried in the District
Court of Elko county, in which the
constitutionality of the above law was
challenged and in which the point was
also made that a lessee of the land was
not such an owner within the meaning
OF the constitutional, and that a lease
of the requisite number of acres Of
land, required by the statute, excused
the lessee from the payment of the IL
cense. The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court, and decision handed
down affirming the judgment of the
lower court on all points. The opinion
was concurred in by all the judges.
Under this act every person engaged
in the business of owning, raising,
grazing. herding or pasturing sheep,
unless such person is the owner and
holder of land in the state Of Nevada
equal to one acre for each two sheen, is
required to pay license, graduated in
amount according to the number Of
sheep SO owned, etc. Failure to pro.
cure the license is declared to be misde,
meanor, punishable by fine or impris.
Onment.
1.-THE law will undoubtedly be en-
forced, and rowing sheep men will be
compelled either to purchase land, nav
alicense or remove from the state"

In Olden Times,

People used to dig such roots as dande-
lion, sarsaparilla. yellow dock. etc., etc.,
every spring and brew home made root
beer from them. This home made, beer
was used as tonic and beverage by the
whole family, just as soon as they could
get the roots out of the ground in the
spring. Nowadays and for many years
past, Williams Root Beer Extract has
taken the place Of the root digging md
brewing process, as it saves a'great deal OF
time and trouble, and contains in concsn-
trated form all the valuable roots and
herbs that were used by the old folks
years ago.
The sale Of Williams Root Beer Ex-
tract has increased year by year, until ii
has become leading article in thousands
Of stores, and many dealers buy several
gross at once, in order to supply the
large demand.
The fact that root beer was in demand
has led to the manufacture and sale OF
many limitations of root beer that con-
tain no roots. In buying root beer ex-
tract you should buy the kind that will
do the system good, by improving the
appetite and aiding digestion. Will
liams' Root Beer Extract can be relied
upon, as it is the production Of the well
known Drug House, the Williams &
Carleton Co., Of Hartford, Conn.
