WILL BE PENDLETON-The Re publican political seer does not often make predictions but when he does he 1 is more seldom in error. He is prepar- ed however to anounce that w. G. lPendIeton will be the next clerk of the board of supervisors. This is not of ! fcfal but it is just as authoritative as | if 1t were.
 ! A BIGAMY CASE-Tombstone has l q bigamy case. The Prospector says: Mrs Nations No. arrived today and | joined Mrs. Nations No. l. and the two wronged women compared notes and 1 laid out a plan of battle against the lman who had deceived them both. The Nations case is a wholesome object ! lesson The maximum penalty calls for ! five years iH t'2e territorial pen Two broken hearted women, who have in i no sense been at fault, met today, and will hear the sentence tomorrow.

 l ALEY LETS coNTRACT-Frank 1 Alley of the Tombstone PrOspectOr has had much to say about leap year and marriage The latest issue of the pa per says: Not long ago Frank Alley published a lengthy letter denying that { he was the author of that scheme to raffie himself off. In outlining the
 qualities he would expect in a wife, he stated. that he preferred one with red

Frank declares all other bids will be rejected.
 l THE SECESSION OF MISSOURI tC. B. Wood is receiving additional in
 formation of the unrest in Missouri in Iconsequence of the, late election. MT.
 Wood came from that part of the com Imonwealth known as the Kingdom of Galloway. There is no effort being
 made to withdraw the state from the
 union for that was tried once before | by MissOurians and other people. But Ithere is no constitutional inhibition preventing the people of the state from moving away and that is what Mir. 2 ldo 4 letter from the mother of MT.
 Wood informs him that his brother in
 law Mr Northcutt. is the more dis

 WEBB, NOT WEBSTER-The Re publican yesterday contained the story
 of a man by the name of M. C. Webb, whose trousers, along with his pocket knife and purse were stolen by a wOm-
 an from his room in a lodging house. There is another gentleman in this town more or less known to fame whose name is N. C. Webster but who is more commonly known as Webb for short. After reading the story of the lodging house tragedy in the Re | publican his numerous friends con | gregated about him yesterday morning
 and commiserated with him on the loss of his pants. The object of this article lis to set MT. Webster right before the | community and to state that he is no loser whatever and is in no way iden- tified with M. C. Webb who is a strang- 1 CT within the gates. MT. Webster is | peculiarly unfortunate in being mis- taken for other people. It will be re- Imembered that during the late cam I paign q great many people got Sam F. Webb one of the democratic candi- dates for assemblyman confounded
 with MT. Webster and in consequence 1 Mir. Webb lost so many votes that he was defeated.
