Gold Nuggets in Chickens' Craws.
From tho Denver Renullican


Chickens recently shipped to local COM
mission dealers have started them guessing
as to the diet on which they We're fattened
for the market. A consignment of these
chickens was received yesterday believed
to be from the same place as one received
about week ago, and in both lots num-
Der of small but very bright nuggets of
gold were found. The nuggets were found
in the craws of several birds in both con-
signments, but it was kept secret by some
of the finders, with the hope that they
might be able to locate rich ground
Quong All Chin, janitor who works in
a saloon on 18th street, purchased one of
the chickens. Three gold nuggets were
found in its craw and Quong now believes
the find an omen of good luck. One piece
of gold was large enough to be worth over
a dollar
The grocars who We're lucky enough to
get some of the chickens with gold-lfned
stomachs tried yesterday to find who sent
in the remarkable shipment. They have
gone so far as to get prices on prospecting
outfits and plan to be the first on the
ground in case it may be located One Of
the dealers who had some of the chickens
with nugget-filled craws was ready to 90

From the New York Post.
One of the old customs of New Orleans
the posting -. telegraph poles and in other
public places Of black-bordered funeral no
uces-has been attacked in a pending or
dinance for its suppression. The custom
has long survived its utility, which was to
give notice of a death and the date Of the
funeral-before the days of the newspaper
death column-and the attack upon fl. as
also the defense, proceeds upon sentimental
grounds. Advocates of the ordinance point
out that the bills are continually subject to
DETACHMENT. Nandals frequently write on
them words which do not speak wellEof the
dead. and the posted notices often fiutter in
dirty rags for days. This argument can
have little weight with the public at large
II those who post the notices are satisfied
On the other hand, the defenders OF the
custom would retain it as one of the ric-
turesque features which distinguish New
Orleans from all other American cities
Visitors to the city frequently apply To the
printers for duplicate copies of the notices
to be carried away as souvenirs There is
increasing difficulty in securing the me
mentos, however, as the practice is grad
ually dying out Ordinance or no ordinance
1t is not expected to survive long.

10 the Edltor or The Evening Star:
l noticed in Tuesday evenings Star the
statement that Mr.. Penrose had introduced
bill into the Senate appropriating 5000
for monument in honor of the women who
served in the late war As acting president
of the Army Nurse Association of the civil
war, representing 100 nurses who'served in
season and out of season, in the field, as
prisoners of war with our men, in city hos
pftals for from three to four years, l ask
Why this discrimination. If a monument is
to be erected at Arlington by Congress for
such purpose, let it be for all women who
served our country in its hour Of need do
ing as important work as our fathers nus
bands and brothers. But If 5000 is given
to our sisters who served a few months in
hospitals during the Spanish-American war
we ask, What sum, according to term of
service rendered, may we, the nurses of the
civil war, now ask from Congress to place
a granite column in the lot at Arlington
accorded to us four years ago? 1t seems
rather a travesty on justice that a few
months service should be so quickly ac-
knowledged, when the many veterans of the
civil war who have been in Congress, and
who have gladly said God bless the women
VINO ministered to us in our Distress" have
failed to honor their deeds with the request
for a simple shaft on which their names
should be inscribed as they are laid to rest

Old women of both sexes have repealed

PUNCHED THE MONEY.
Ryan and Davis Had to Settle
to Keep Out of Jail.

Yesterday Treasurer Ryan and Con-
troller Davis we're called on by Miss
johnson. the attorney in the Muller
case, and notified them that they had
to put up $50 in Justice Stones court
or be taken by the Constabulary to the
dungeon keep of the county Jail. Con-
stable Crisler was trailing in the rear
ready to pounce on the officials and
drag them in forthwith.
The lady was notified that the money
would be forthcoming at once and Dep
uty Treasurer Wilds went over to the
court and deposited $50 with Justice
Stone, taking the usual receipt.
Treasurer Ryan could not be found
and it was rumored that he had skip
ped out in the night to avoid arrest,
and was beyond the reach Of the Off
GERS somewhere in the Sierra range
with feet horse and three days ra-
tions. The fact that he was about
town last evening and was seen to take
a glass of brandy and soda at Living
ston's. would seem to belle the rumor
The matter, however, will be taken
to the Supreme Court for adjudication
on writ of certiorari, that the pro-
ceedings in Stones court may be re-
viewed and the matter definitely set
tied.
This is done that iE future the State
! officers may know exactly what to do
when an attachment for wages or sal
airy comes in.
Now they are in such position that
either side feeling aggrieved may sue,
!no matter what disposition they may
make Of monies attached.

Lincoln County Tax Suits

The case of Lincoln County against
the DeLamar and a ril Fool mines has
been decided in favor of the County in
both instances.
Some months ago the State Board for
Enforcing Collection of Revenue and
Prosecuting Delinquents, notified the
authorities of Lincoln County that there
were delinquent taxes due from the min
ing companies of DeIamar. The Board
were informed that no one in that county
could he found who would institute pro-
ceedings against these companies.
As soon as the officials We're notified OF
the condition of affairs they replied that
they were already investigating the mat
ter and would begin proceedings. When
proffered assistance from the State, legal
and financial, they declined it, saying
that the County officers would do their
full duty and the County would pay the
cost of the work.
Assessor Prudential made the demand
for the taxes after examining the books
of the corporation, and District Attorney
McNamee brought the suit. He had sew
eral of the best lawyers in Salt Lake t.
fight, but he obtained judgment in both
cases. The one against the DeLamaI
was for nearly six thousand dollars and
the April Fool for about twelve hundred
The DeLamar announced that they
recognize the fairness of the decision
and will in future pay their taxes on the
basis laid down by the Court, but the
April Fool are not convinced and will
appeal.
The officers did their full duty in the
case and with good results.
