Didn't Belong to Colorado.

In the carly days of Leadville there
was a singular Character living by
the name OF Major Martin McGinnis.
The major was the important man of
the camp, and when any distinguished
parties came to the city they were
received by Major Martin McGinnis and
presented with the freedom of the
camp on gold plate. The French
government sent three mining engi-
neers over to examine and to report
upon the mineral deposits Of this To-
cality They were received by Major
Martin McGinnis, who put them in car
riages and took them around the camp.
As they were going up California
gulch the Frenchmen suddenly jumped
out of the carriage and commenced
to hammer and chisel upon a large
black bowlder that lay alongside the
road. The major watched them ges-
ticulating to one another. and he final
ly said to the interpreter: What do
they mean? What are they talking
about?' The interpreter said, "They
say that rock don't belong here" The
major said. The deuce it don't! You
say to those foreigners that | won't
stand for them coming over here and
running down our country. Tell them
that they can find anything anywhere
in Colorado"
The Frenchmen were right, however,
for this black rock was a meteor and
had fallen from the skies.-Leadville

Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood
purifier They are a laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bowels,
the kidneys and the skin, thus cleansing
the system by the natural outlet of the
body. They stimulate the blood so as
to enable nature to throw off all morbid
humors and cure all troubles arising from
an impure state of the blood. One or
two taken every night will prove an
invaluable remedy.
Every pill contains one grain of solid
extract of sarsaparilla, which, with other
valuable vegetable products, make it a
blood purifier of excellent character
Brandreths Pills have been in use for
over a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.

BASKET BALL.

The game Friday evening between Co.
D. and Turner's Falls resulted in vic
tory for the local five by the score of AZ
to 49, The old axiom that new broom
sweeps clean was clearly demonstrated
by the work of the reorganized company
team. They had everything their own
way and the only thing that prevented a
larger score was the lack of time.
The game started off briskly and in the
first period the opposition really looked
formidable, eight of their points being
marked up to them during this round.
The period ended II to with Co. D in
the van, The aspirations of the Turner's
Falls bunch also ended at this time. In
the second Co. D did things that were
not down on the bill, They not only
prevented the visitors from scoring, but
they lost them in floor work and clever
passing, incidentally caging the ball
seven times, four of which were credited
to Kearns. Eight baskets were credited
to the localities in the final go while the
visitors were let down with two from
the floor and were allowed one point on
fouls
The work of Kearns should hardly 90
unmentioned as he doubled the score of
his opponent, throwing 8 baskets, and
this in spite of the fact that the was
playing guard-not bad record
Church at center was all to the good,
helping out the large total by acontribu-
ton of IA points, while Sunny Jim
Davey who was lined up against him
had to content himself with ringing the
leatheroid twice. The original Buckley
Lew was there and he did some orig
nal stunts in dribbling and passing that
have seldom been surpassed on the local
floor.
