From the Washington Post
 The stranded dramatic company shambled wearily along the railroad tracks toward the next town. The face of the principal tragedian was a study. Finally he turned to the leading juvenile and said in bitter accents:
 "By me halidom. that woman has us all on the hip"

New Years night over claim jumping,

ed by two sets of jumpers found it's
way into Justice Conway's court We'd

on New Years night he went out to
relocate it. Henry Hubner and Ewall
Raagh also wanted the same claim,
and they went after it, too. The re-
suit was that one of the parties got
their location notices on before L.

one mad the correct time. Hard words
naturally arose, and a shot was fired
during the Wordy war. Last Saturday
Henry Hubner swore out a warrant IN
justice ConWay's court for the arrest
of Buhl, charging him with assault.

and in the course of which it was de-
