Only Tenderfset Wanted.

The eastern contractors who Sc
cured the mail routes Throughout
the west on recent awards are pub
licly advertising for subcontractors
We hope they will be compelled to
fill the contracts themselves, On all
the small routes hereabouts the mail
pay is too small to meet expenses.
The rout between here and Gey-
ser was awarded to f. S. Gray of
Clinton, Mo. at S950.00. He has
evidently formed the midland Mail
Company" to handle his contracts,
and that company has posters up
hereabouts asking for subbids.
This poster, and others, announce
that any person over 16 years of age
is competent to carry the mail and
that with the consent of postmasters
the scedule may be changed to suit
the residence and convenience of the
bidder, etc This is evidently a
special inducement. 1t is 60 miles
from here to Geyser, with no habi-
tation or station between the two
points. 1t has been losing game
with the present carrier and yet his
pay is several hundred dollars high
Ell than the new award.

SHOT IN The HEAD.

Last Frid y. Bob Bonds
Rufe Pippin were on their Va,
Meadow Valley Wash, on
from a trip to st. George, Utah, anu
at noon camped with Ernest Keats,
the mail rider, at point some ten
miles below John Kierlan's ranch
Bonds, for some reason declined
to leave the wagon but remained in
it while Pippin and Keats ate lunch
After that was disposed OF Keats
and Pippin we're resting upon
the ground, the latter lying face
downwards, with his arms crossed
above his head. Both were hal as-
leep when a shot was heard a,ti Pip
pin found he was wounded in the
head. The ball struck the back OF
the head, and following the skull
came out near the right eye, and
buried itself in his right arm
The shot came from Bonds, who
says his pistol went off accidentally
while he was about to shoot a rabbit
Keats on the other hand is reported
to have said it was an attempt al
murder.
Bonds had asked for a sandwich,
and last Keats and Pippin noticed
him he was eating it, still seated in
the wagon.
DR.. Mayo was summoned by In
dian messenger to the Wash on Fri
day. Unless blood poisoning sets in
Pippin will recover.
On Sunday, John Hartley aud L.
Il. Dula went to DeLamar from
Meadow Valley Wash and preferred
charge of assault with intent to kill
against Bonds and he was arrested,
but released on bail
Bonds was divorced from his wife
at the last term of court here, and ill
feeling is said to have existed for
some time between him and the COM
planning witness against him, but
the relations between Bonds and the
wounded man are said to have been
always friendly, aud that he had ac-
companied Bonds on special request
to st. George, where Bonds had TAX
en- his little girl, and it was while re-
turning from the trip that the pres
ent affair happened.
Bonds says the whole party was
under the influence of liquor when
camped at Friday noon, while Keats
denies it.
The particulars of the affair will
be brought out in the preliminary ex-
animation which will take place as
soon as District Attorney McNamee
returns from the County Seat.

COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS

All the members of the board was
present at Mondays meeting of the
County Commissioners.
After the customary reading of the
minutes of the previous meeting the
Board repaired in body to the Au
ditors Office for the purpose of open-
ing bids submitted against the Re-
demption and the General County
Funds, in both of which, money had
been advertised during the previous
month.
From the Redemption Fund 1872.
AZ was awarded to Jos. Eisenmann
at 500 cents. and the balance to
Wells, Fargo Il Co. San Francisco,
at 99a cents. A third bid from A.
t. Grim at par was returned; the
money being exhausted.
This class of scrip was issued prior
to April 1876. 1t is believed that
not much more will appear for re-
demption.
Nine bide were submitted against
the General County Fund. They
were fewer in number and less in
total value then the bids submitted
last month. The constant rejection
of bids and re-advertising of money
by the Commissioners resulted in
bringing in less scrip this month in.
stead of more due to the uncertainty
of the boards action in the matter,
under the privilege which they have
70 reject when bids do not suit.
Most of the bids however, were put
in at 6S and SO cents, and as these
were within the limit at which the
boaad last month manifested will
lingness to accept, an order was en-
tered accepting all the bids and or
dering the money paid out.
Thus the money which has been
tied up in the treasury for the past
nine months is distributed, and the
effect may be to make this class OF
scrip values more certain hereafter
The board was notified that We'll
lington Sprouse, who has been a
county charge at ST. Thomas, for
some time past, had died on January
18th.
Officers reports and statement OF
the condition of the funds were pre-
sented. Reports approved and no
transfers ordered.
The question of the tax lew for
the current yea9 was discussed and
on motion was continued till the
meeting in March. The disposition
is to cut down the tax rate, but the
fact that this is the election wear
during which expenses are always
great, and the further fact TINT the

goes into effect this year, under
which probably half the revenues

made.

The New Milford Mail Route

The proposed change in route for
the mail between here and Mil
ford, running it via Ursine, Deer
lodge, and Stateline is generally
spoken of with favor. DeLamar
people also recognize the benefits
that will follow from being in direct
communication with the county seat,
and it will be as much appreciated
here since large amount of our
business is done with DeLamar. The
present route, which takes all mail
and passengers via Panaca, consum-
ing q hours time to make DeLamar
so miles, retards business and Gre
ates good deal of complaint from
passengers. The change proposed
will cut this down to about II hours
besides placingPioche and DeLamar
in direct communication with Deer
lodge and Stateline.

He Knew.

A short time ago well-known yachts
man had among the crew of his cutter a
young German sailor who spoke very
broken English. One night, in Long
Island Sound, while the yacht was sail
ing along the shore with a light breeze
heavy fog shut out the view. Carl
was ordered to keep heaving the lead,
so that too close an approach to the
shore might be guarded against. Poor
Carl was in dilemma, for he did1not
know enough English to pronounce'the
different soundings. However, he got
the lead and line and went to the side
of the yacht, determined to do his best.
The breeze had died away, and although
the yacht was known to be near the
land, danger was not apprehended.
When Carl hove the lead he discovered
shallow water and knew that a current
was setting the boat inshore; so he
called, but in rather a low voice, for he
was little afraid that his language
would be made fun of:
mod much vasser herel"
No one appeared to pay any attention
to him, SO he threw the lead again. and
advised:
"Bedder ged oud Of here!"
Just then the yacht slid up on the
beach, and Carl, with a triumphant ring
in his voice, shouted:
Didn't I tole yer so?'-Harper's
