DeLamar Nugget: A Silver City
Republican godbug called up the
only Democratic goldbug we have
in this camp and inquired of him
if there was any Mckinley man in
the camp who wanted to be post
master, stating that Senator Shoup
was about starting for Washington

have the Office. No man was named.
The wishes of the people in DeLamar
are not considered. That same
self constituted dispenser of public
pap ought to be appointed to a con-
sulship in the interior of Patagonia.
Senator Shoup would not dare to
recommend him for position
nearer home.

per head. Ewes are selling at from
$3.50 to $2.75. Yearling ewes and

Litzman, sheep owner, was found
dead on the sheep range near Trim
ity lakes, few miles from Melton's
ranch, last Friday. He had COM
planned of not feeling we'll for sew
eral days, but his brother who was
assisting him in looking after his
$500 sheep. did not consider his
serious. Mr.. Litzman
was about 80 years old and, we are
told, was . native of Denmark. He
was an industrious and honest man
and highly respected by all who
knew him. Coroner May left Glenn's
Ferry Sunday morning to hold an
inquest over the remains. As the
body when found was considerably
decomposed, and it being impossi-
BILE to reach the unfortunate man
with a team, it IL supposed that his
remains were buried at the spot
where death overlook him.
