Yes. 1 hear that Johnny Wray has wor
everything for McLachlan. I was with
| some friends the
r. j. Waters: other day buying
some cigars-by the
way, have one-when Johnny came
up He would not look my way al
| first. and finally I went up to him
and took him by the shoulders and
turned him so that he faced me. and said
Hello, Johnny, how goes it,? He replied
that he was fighting hard, and had things
all right. He pulled bunch of keys out of
his pocket and shook the watch chain to
which they were fastened, saying he had
pawned his watch to help the fight, but
that it was all right. I congratulated him
and felt better. Have another cigar?"
II am surprised to learn that our over
land was wrecked near Williams. Why,
the track there is as
e. W. McGee: straight as 1t can be
and is in perfect
condition. l had not been over the line
for five years past until a few weeks ago,
when 1 went east, and you know how per-
feet our roadbed Is between here and San
Bernardino? Well, 1t is now the same
thing all the way to Chicago. All east of
Albuquerque is rock ballast. But on the
line of the old A. and P. the greatest i'm
provement has been made. Those freight
wrecks last week? Why, no railway can
avoid freight wrecks once in awhile. Look
at the Pennsylvania. They have them.
You get all sorts of old box cars from
other lines, and you cannot possibly look
In, q
gard passenger coaches and a smash-up
will come. They come anyway. I am sure
that no foresight could have prevented
this wreck at Williams. The rails were all
new and very heavy the track straight,
the roadbeG is constantly watched so you
see that 1t must have been one of those
perfectly unavoidable affairs that are
really no ones fault-that is speaking from
the information at hand about it,"
will run for sheriff? That's question
that is too personal for me to answer.
Ill tell you one thing.
A. w. Marsh: I am going to get into
the mountains as
soon as can. For nearly two years now
1 have been shut up in the court house,
and l believe indoor life in a steam-heated
building in this country will do up the
strongest man. 1 am no chicken, as you
can see, but I have lost twenty-seven
pounds lately. and lay it all to being in
steam-heated building all winter. I firmly
believe that there is no cure like the open
air one. Let man get out in the open and
sleep rolled up in his blankets, with the
sky his only roof and breathe the pure air
Of the regions far away from any vitiation
If crowds of humanity, and he is bound 70
get strong, unless his time has come and
nothing will avail him. Politics? I don't
know much about them, except that 1t does
ook as if Gage was going to get there"

''What do you think those freeholders
will do about the initiative and referen-
s.,.. C.r DUN? I am afraid
that there are not
"""""c''r: enough of them who
avor those principles. Yes, 1 do, and
hink the United States ought to take up
possible. How do I know these principles
IF government are good? Well, of course, |
don't know for sure, but they sound good, |
and so many people believe in them that I
guess there cannot be any mistake about |
t. You see most of the poor people and |
linking people want the initiative and |
and their judgment ought to |
De good enough. THE RECEIVER.
