Deenie Smiths Advent.
Fresh as spring daisy is Deenie
Smith, lady, who comes from TOnopa
and has done time at San Quentin.
In the forenoon, Deenie can be seen
promenading on Washington street in
stunning tailor made suit, but as the
day advances she blossoms out into
an elegant summer laced dress. &C
course the plumes and feathers In her
$50 hats could well be the envy Of
any senator OF merchants daughter in
Portland. 1t Is amusing to some citi.
zens, even though the days are not
rainy, for she lifts her dress as she
swishes over the expectorated side
walks, exhibiting rainbow hose, cost.
ing not less than 81 pair. The be-
holder might think that sunfash on
her finger was an electric light, but it
is only Montana diamond.
A number Of the male artists have
brought their families up from the
hot summer Of California and Neva-
da to the cooler northern latitude,
among them being Scotch Alex, the
Boom Kid and the Plunger Alex is
thoroughly enjoying his stay here de-
spite the hot weather, which makes
him redder than ever. Alex can be
picked out on the street from his hab-
it Of folding his arms when he stands
to talk business with friend, and any |
man is his friend who has the s'leath-
er." He wears a swell derby hat and
iisborts himself IN sleek tailor suit,
costing perhaps $50. His look is lean ,
and hungry, like that Of a Cassius,
md when he takes aboard a glass or
.wo, his shoulders shake AZ from palsy
when he walks. Alex has a lot Of gold
N his front teeth, but he is thinking
u having IL renewed because IT takes
IN a tarnish like the copper Of sena-
or Clark's mine.
Boom Kid and Associates.
The Boom Kid is Of slight build,
md might be taken for a clerk in a
department store. He's light, very
ight, in complexion, and shows brown
air under his hat. He looks as IL

way into the next county IL II were
ot for the Square Faced Kid and
ling Warden to hold him down. He

old twice over. Because Of his slen-
erness his nickname was frst the

The Palo Alto Kid resembles
