'BIG DoG!"
A Short Account of How Charlie
Wah, a Grand Junction China
man. Was Jobbed. ="

Charlie Wah, the Chinaman, ran up

took his medicine was 30 heroic that it

body keep their eyes open, as he plays
for blood and can win and lose like an
American. However, in this game he
was jobbed. He was sitting in a five
hand game Of poker, in which all those
playing were partners and would divide
the loss or winnings-a pretty hard game
to beat. In spite of the fact that he was
in with the crowd that was known to
play together, he stood out winner to the
extent of s12O. The other players could
not stand to 500 the Chinaman with 30
much money ahead. 1t came time to
deal. The deal was made. Suddenly
the man at tho right Of the dealer yelled
out in q loud voice: big dog!" OF
course. every booy "rubbersd." including
the Ohinaman. While this was being
done, tho Chinaman's hand was given
him, and the dealer pulled four aces
from tho bottom of the deck.
Betting began. Three passed the
Chinaman had boon given four kings.
The dealer raised his bet and went after
the Chinamsn's money. Wah came

four aces which had been pulled from
the bottom of tho deck were produced
and OF course took tho pot, $50 IN all.
The dealer pulled in tho money, and
the Chinaman, rising from tho table, ut
TERED bus two words-"Big dog" He
was on to tho whole matter at once and
could have just as readily exclaimed
"Cold decked!" which, being interpreted
from gaming vocabulary. means he had

better take his medicine and not 'squeal."

THE CAMP BIRD CASE.
Second Days Proceedings Were
Full of Interest Discovery Shaft
Not on Disputed Mill Site.

Montross, Colo, Feb. 2O-The second
days proceeding in the disputed Camp
Bird mill site case were full OF interest.
Manager j w. Benson of the Camp
Bird and other Walsh properties WAS
drst called, and in the course OF his tes-
timony said Mr. Walsh has not been in
Ouray county since November, 1889.
Judge Gray then moved further con-
tinuance and in support presented more
affidsvits from Apperson and Stuart,
which stated that the Discovery shaft on
tho mill site was sunk under the Dis
covery stake. Mining experts could not
be procured from other counties, they
stated, on account Of the shortness of the
time allowed, and those in Ouray could
not be secured at all. They claimed the
cutting Of an eighth-inch lead vein, con-
tanning other minerals, on the mill site
under the boiler room Of the cycanide
plant They further claimed that when
no snow il on the ground outcroppings
OF the vein can be plainly seen. None OF
the parties having actual knowledge OF
tho mineral discovery could be prevailed
upon to testify for the fear Of incurring
the ill.will Of the Camp Bird people, 80
the afddavits stated, although the char
acter OF tho ground was a matter Of gen.
sral conversation.
The short time had also prevented the
securing of another survey Of the Luzon
lode. The protestants further asserted
that during the time in which they sought
to gather testimony, they were followed
aud wstched by emissaries Of the pro-
testee whose influence was felt in every
Ouray industry. In proof OF this they
appended clipping from tho Ouray Her
aid Of February Z, which attacked the
character and purpose of both protest.
ants.
Judge Story, for the protestee, argued
against further continuance, on the
ground that the affidavits were made
without personal knowledge OF the facts
sworn to. The stake, he held, was loca-
ted in three feet of snow at night. The
development work showed nothing def
nitely mineral in the ground, and the
evidence to the opposite effect was con
| Trajectory.
In reply, Attorney Richardson argued
that the continuance was not intended
to delay proceedings, but to ascertain the
true facts. The evidence had been kept
away by some means, he said, and fur
ther contir uance would be immatsrial to
the Camp Bird people il they were honest
in their assertions as to the Camp Bird
mill site.
The motion for continuance was
then denied by the Register, and D. r.
Reed, deputy United States mineral sur
veyor, was called. He is at present in
the employ of the Camp Bird as sur
veyor. He located the Deadwood mill
site in litigation, he said, and the dis
covery stake of the protestants was some
distance from their shaft, the latter be-
ing on patented ground owned by Walsh
and not within the limits of the mill site.
He saw no quartz matter taken from the
discovery shaft, nor had the company
made any tests OF the ore.

WASHINGTON RNTohBED.
George Town, Dec. 20, 1893.
On Wednesday last, the mortal part of
Washington the Great-the father of his
country and tho friend OF man, was con-
signed to the tomb with solemn honors
and funeral pomp. A multitude Of per
sons assembled, from many miles around
at Mount Vernon, the choice abode and
last residence OF the illustrious chief.
There were the groves-the spacious
avenues, the beautiful and sublime
scenes, the noble mansion-but, alas!
the august inhabitant was now no more.
That great soul was gone. His mortal
part was there indeed; but ah! how aft
ectingY how awful the spectacle Of such
worth and greatness, thus to mortal eyes
fallen?-Yes, fallen! fallen! In the long
and lofty Portieo, where oft the Hero
walked in all his glory, now lay the
shrouded corpse. The countenance full
composed and serene, seemed to express
the dignity OF the spirit which late dwelt
in that lifeless form! There those who
tor Of his country, took an imprsssive-a
farewell view.
On the monument at the head Of the
coffin WAS inscribed "Surge ad Judicum,"
about the middle of the coffin, "Gloria
Dec, and on the silver plate,
GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON
Departed This Life on tn, l4th of
December, 1899, Et 68.
Between three and four o'clock, the
sound OF artillery from vessel in the
river, firing minute guns awoke afresh
our solemn sorrow. The corpse was re-
moved-a band OF music with mournful
melody melted the soul in all the tender
ness OF woe
The procession was formed and moved
on in the following order:
Ss::s; Ss:s;;$; {s;:s;:;. With arms reversed.
Music
Clergy.
Tho Generals horse, with bis saddle,
holsters and pistols.
Corpse.
Pail Bearers: Coils. Sims. Ramsey,
Payne, Gilpin, Marsteller and Little.
Mourners.
Masonic Brethren.
Citizens.
When the procession had arrived at
the bottom OF the elevated lawn, on the
bank OF the Potomac, whore the family
vault is placed, the cavalry halted, the
infantry marched toward the Mount and
formed their lines-the Clergy, the Ma
sonic brethren and the citizens, descend
ed to the vault and the funeral service
OF the church was performed.
The firing was repeated from the ves-
sci in the river, and the sounds echoed
from the woods and hills around. Three
general discharges by the infantry, the
cavalry and IL pieces OF artilley, which
lined the banks of the Potomac back to
the vault, paid the last tribute to the en-
tombed Commander in Chief OF the
armies OF the United States and to the
departed. Hero.The sun was now setting
Alas! the son of glory was set forever.
No-the name OF Washington-the
American President and Gsneral-will
triumph over death! The unclouded
brightness OF his glory will illuminate
the future ages!

The following description of the eere-
monies on the occasion OF the burial of
George Washington, is taken from an
original copy OF the Ulster County Ga

ladega, Alabama, and is furnished The
Sentinel by Mrs. l.. w. Henderson,
mother of Mrs l.. F. Ingersoll, of
this city, and is again republished
not alone as an appropriate tribute
to the memory Of Washington, but
as an example of the literary genius Of
that period which was OF a lofty and ele-
CANT type.

YOU CAN CURE 1T.

New Cure for Catsrrh I'm Tablet Form.
The old time treatment for catarrh
was in the form of douches or sprays;
later on internal remedies were given
with greater success, but being in
liquaid or powdered form were incon-
venient and were open to the same
objection to all liquid remedies, that
is, that they lose whatever medicinal
power they may have had on expos
ure to the air.
The tablet is the ideal form in
which to administer medication, but
until recently no successful catarrh
tablet has ever been attempted.
At this writing however, most
excellent and palatable remedy for
catarrh has been placed before the
public and sold by druggists, called
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, composed
of the most recent discoveries in
medicines for the cure of catarrh, and
'esults from their use have been
highly gratifying.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
principally highly concentrated anti
septics, which kill the catarrh germs
in the blood and mucous membranes,
and in this respect are st' ictly scien-
tific and modern, as it has be n known
for some years past by the ablest ply
sicians that the most successful ca
tarrh treatment was by inhaling or
spraying antiseptics.
The use of inhalars, douches and
sprays. however, IS a nuisance and
Inconvenience. and moreover can in
no wise compare with the same rome
dies given in tablet form either in eff
ficacy or convenience.
