TALES OF TWO CITIES SUCClNCTLY TOLD


glish this week. While going down
hill the tongue of the coach gave
way and the team became fright
ened. In spite of the heroic efforts
of the driver the rig was over
turned, but not until after all the
passengers were safe on the ground.
One of the horses was quite badly
hurt and it was thought at first
that he would have to be killed, but
this proved unnecessary and he
will soon be all O K again.
A. E. Hurley, assistant secretary
Of the Octave Gold Company, came

went out to the mine the following
day. The Octave is on" of the big

of the company are justly proud OF
the results of their enterprise.

Eli Perkins, of the Martinez
News Herald, is in town. Mr..
Perkins is getting out a paper the
people of that district should feel
proud of. He is advertising the
mineral resources to the world
every week. Such a paper does

master H C. Storey, has just ac-
cepted Il position as freight rustler
at The Congress junction station.
Mr.. Storey is a very genial young
man and is good worker. He
will be as big II railroad man as
his brother some day. He took the
place OF Mr.. Carney, who has just
resigned.
Nose Lutfy, we'll known here,
and formerly member of the firm
of Sroor & Lutfy, has returned
from a trip to California. He says
that he got fat while away, and
does not know for sure but that he
may quit us entirely. He looks
fine, hence we guess he is telling
the truth when he says he got fat.

We have turned out this week
fine lot of stationery for J. W.

has resigned and gone to new
fields. He has made many friends
during his stay here and will carry

may carry the mail.
