The news of Miss Daisy Briggs
decease has caused much sorrow
among her friends in Cherry Greek,
and those who knew her best loved
her most, Wherever she went she
was a sunbeam. The sympathy OF
the writer is extended to her rela-
tives.

i'll the saloon to Tom Barreilles,

ness i'll his own building.

Numerous candidates have been
with us the past week, and all seem
to be thoroughly in earnest to Sc
cure votes. The precinct has been
we'll canvassed, and on the Sth of
November over ninety votes will be
cast. There will be great gain of
votes for Roosevelt electors over
last election. The votes for county
officers will be much mixed, but
there are some good men on both
tickets and we ought to have COM
petent county officers. M. B..
Garaghan, who seeks the Office of
Recorder and Auditor, OH an indie
pendent ticket, is known to all as a
most competent man to fill that
office, aud if he should be elected
we know there is a good man at the
helm.

children left last week for Prince
Edwards Islands, British Posses
sions, where they intend making
their future home.
Simon Davis, of Aurum. is one
of our lucky prospectors. By per
sistent effort he has discovered,
worked and sold enough mines i'll
Aurum to give him a competency,
but he calls for more, and more
comes to him. He is now develop
ing a new discovery at the head OF
Silver Canyon, a contact ledge be-
tween lime and porphyry. AT a
depth of sixty feet he has a ledge

A man, calling himself f. Ham
nond, drove into Cherry Creek or
Friday with pair of horses and q
wagon, and trying to sell the outfit
so much below their value, con-
viuced our conservative citizens
that they were stolen, and although
placed under arrest by our officers,
OH second thought he was let go OF
his way. On the arrival of the
stage from Wells we learned thai
Hammond had stolen the horse.
from George Allen of Wells, and
the wagon from Leech Bros, OF
Glover Valley, and disposed of the
outfit to Will A. Watson. Mr.
Watson secured a warrant from
Justice Cannon, and with Mr.
Claunch, struck out on the trail o
the thief, and we learn caught III
with him at or near the Comin'
ranch. The Constable from Wells
Charles Seaton, arrived here OF
Saturday evening, and followed il
pursuit on Sunday morning. The
officer, Watson and Claunch re
turned with the prisoner on Mon
day evening, and he was taken OF
to Wells, apparently perfectly in
different to the enormity of thu
crime he has committed.
