on the Nickel Plate Monday. Decker
had II passengers Monday afternoon.
The streets were not wide enough
for the newcomers to town Sunday

them.
A little difference VI opinion arose
between two parties on the back
street Saturday morning in which u
big iron poker and jack knife were
the weapons resorted to. One Of the
parties has his head badly cracked
and the other had several severe cuts
showing that the knife man was well
acquainted with the carving process.
The carver had better apply 20
Schneider, the butcher, for a job.

up Sunday morning and with "ye
local" visited the Whisky Gulch mill,
1t being Mr.. Smiths first trip to the

are nearly one hundred men employ
ed In the mill and mine and the water
supply il sufficient for all purposes
and each day a two hundred ton
tank is filled. The property looks
better than ever before.
Gilt Edge escaped what might
have been a disastrous conflagration
last Friday. One Of the roOmers at
Dahl's lodging house lay ON the bed
smoking a cigarette and dropped 1t
on the mattress and left the room.
Shortly after Mrs. Dahl went to the
room and the busk mattress was on
fire. The alarm was given aud a
crowd soon gathered, but j. b.
Washburn was near by and dragged
the mattress and the whole bed to
the street surrounded by flames.
The carpets were soiled and paint
blackening includes the principal
damages. There must be something
wrong about the cigarette smoker.
