A Fine Piece of Work.

j. B. Hill and Herman Pfeiffer have
just finished doing some very handsome
painting aud frescO work Oh the Meeker
hotel.
They started in on the large diniug
room, which is done in pale blue and
white in delicate and harmonzing
shades. The frescoing in this room is
very beautiful.
The commodious office and reception
room is frescoed in pink body with light
blue bordering. 1t presents a hand
some appearance.
Pale yellow is the prevailing shade in
the parlor, worked to harmonize with
the frezsco tint in light slate. Some
fine workmanship is displayed in this
room.
The whole job is very complimentary

Disposing of a Rival.

The sensation of the day in local SO

episode, which is alleged to have been
pulled Off in this bailiwick last week.
AS the story goes land the hackmen
are discussing it) one cattle baron sent
another box of "doped" candy, but
the intended victim partook very spar
ingly of the toothsome bon-bons, hence
is alive and camping on the trail Of his
hated rival.

plot. If THE HERALD was addicted to
yellow journalism we could have made.
quite an item out of this little affair, but
in our staid, matter-of -fact-way We just
refer to it as briefly as possible. But there
is one feature we feel called on to
register kick against, namely, thu
Borgian method of getting away with
rival. Heretofore, when our amatOry
youth had an affair of this kind on hand
they settled 1t by drawing their six
shooters" at the first meeting place,
which is the proper way to settle
such affairs in the virile West.
We object to the ways of the etfete East
