New York. April 25.-The colored

passed resolutions denomcing the Geor-

few nights ago, was arraigned before

Bill Nixon. who is more familiar with
the city Jail than Jailer Kimball ever
dared to be, was sent up for fifteen days
for vagrancy. Bill usually goes over for
drunkenness, and takes his medicine well,
but to be called common ''vag was
more than he could stand, He pleaded
surance that he would so out of town to
work; in fact, was on the point of so
doing when arrested. But all in vain.
Bill couldn't make the same story stick
twice in u fortnight.
John Joslyn the London wool-buyer,
whose l wasn't worth sand in a
windstorm, according to Steve Keene, did
not appear, but was represented by a
law firm. The latter agreed to pay all
costs and the cafes bill, for dismissal,
to which the complainant agreed Steve
could not resist putting in a word for his
establishment, however. He said he had
not intended to be harsh with the sheep
man, but wanted to make an example of
him.
Jim Johnson was called for but the
jailer explained that Jim had not en-
tirely recovered from last nights effects,
and it went over.
Cummings and Roberts were found
guilty of stealing a laprobe and some
underwear; They admitted having lied
in court the day previous and were Sc
verely lectured for it.
Il ought to send you both to jail said
Judge Timmony;, You have not only
lied to me. But ! do not want to make
hardened criminals of you, and will give
you one chance to reform. You are dis
charged, but | never want to see either of
you here again.
Both Roberts and Cummings are Salt

good regulations. Zach has a mother and
family to help support.

A ROAR FROM THE HUMP.
Don't Like Uncle Sans Busi-
ness Methods in Post
Office Matters.

BUFFALO, Idaho, June 4, 1899.
EDITOR FREE PREss:-The in
justice done the citizens of Buffalo
Hump and Lake Creek by the post
Office department authorities is
strongly resented here. The petit
ton originally circulated by the
citizens praying for the establish
ment of a postofiice and mail route
between Grangeville and the Hump
designated Buffalo as such post
Office, and the prayer of the petit
tioners was granted and the office
established June l. But instead
of locating it at Buffalo the honor
able postmaster has established it
at Sheep Creek, II miles distant
from Buffalo Hump and 4 miles
from Lake Creek, making the OBJ
tanning of mail more inconvenient
for the citizens than the old way.
The citizens of Buffalo Hump
and Lake Creek petitioned for a
mail service for their convenience,
and as they are determined to have
such they have established tri-
weekly mail service over Frank
Browns trail from Grangeville;
and it can be safely said that from
the Buffalo Hump syndicate down
to the poorest prospector all prefer
patronising the private service in
preference to having their wishes
in strictly local affair disregarded
by the authorities at Washington
and imposed upon by their official
representative (our honorable post
mastery here, establishing his office
on Sheep Creek. If the depart
nlent wishes to maintain a post

The Buffalo POStOffiCe.

From Tuesdays daily.
The petition to the postmaster
general to have the Buffalo post
Office moved back to camp, has re-
ceived over four hundred sigma
lures and will be mailed to Wash
ington today. 1t is confidently
expected that the office will get
upon its hind legs and move back
to camp quicker than it moved out.
According to the parties engin-
eering the petition, Henley has
moved three and half miles from
the Lake townsite, and mile and
and half from the Big Buffalo
townsite and is at present located
on Gus Schultz's claim in an Sx1O
tent. Schultz is going into the
Hump in few days to fire Henley
off his claim.
Another Shipment Of Bullion.
Supt. Walp is out from the Iron
Crown mine of Newsome creek
again, bringing with him q button
of gold bullion weighing $1,000,
the proceeds of an sO-hour mill run
on Iron Crown ore. This is the
third shipment OF gold bullion
from this mine in 80 days, making
total production to date of $6, 900.
Mr.. Walp doesn't believe in the
'.razzle-dazzle" method of mining.
He is in business to mine in rock
and not in the pockets of the in
vesting public. Iron Crown stock
few weeks ago was on the market
at cents share. Today % cents
