First of the CrOD.

What is doubtless first of pro
life crop materialized in this sec,
ton last Monday, and was prompt
ly nipped in the bud by Chief of
Police Haley Carter. This was a
negro who claimed to be an agent
of the National Freedmen's Pen
sion Bureau and he was travelling
around getting applications from
all who wished to enter their APP
plication for pensions under the
bill recently introduced in Con
gress by Senator Hanna. 1t Is
said that he had already secured
about one hundred applications,
for which he had been paid 81 by
the ignorant people upon, whom
he was playing his bunco game
He was placed in Jail and a
search of the valises he carried
revealed the fact that he was
thoroughly prepared for his work,
s;n..a . large number of printed
blanks, pens, ink etc., were among
the principal articles sney con,
tanned. Many were fillet.f w =

Judge Foster gave the papers
careful examination and will
doubtless dispose of the alleged
agents case in due time When
the Hanna bill was introduced the
prediction was made that0 the
crop of fakirs that would spring
up and start out on the mission OF
teecing ignorant and confidlng
negroes would be prolific. Wher
ever found they should be given
the full penalty the nature of the
offense they are committing. Justl-

"At the Tallac House on some of the

Hank Monk was constantly perpet-

more than one instance has caused
unpleasantness in families.
One day young man on the stage
was paying great attention to a school
marin, and Hank having doubts as
to whether the swain was a single
man. kept his weather eye on him.
The following day on arriving from
Carson, he saw. the same man sitting
close to a lady at the hotel: SO close
as to compel him to put his arm around
her waist for natural support. Hank
went in and doffing his hat, said:
Morning folks, ha-ad to go to
Virginia City last night, and I met
your wife. young Teller, and she told
me If l see you to tell you to come
home right off-cause the little baby
is mighty sick with delirium tremens!"
All was said in Monks peculia:

Hank said. lust cussed like darned

which he drove to and from the Lake

habit Of rolling about in his harness
and making two tracks along the road,
Hank applying the whip ON the road
