building purposes, when the positions
of two ancient barrows were clearly

MR.. ISAIAH MITCHELL

Mr.. Isaiah Mitchell, formerly of
this city, but now a resident of Den
yer, Col, has returned to the city
probably to remain. Mr.. Mitchell left
this city for the West some thirty
years ago, and took up his home in
the West, where he accumulated con-
siderable property. He is we'll known
among his Washington friends who
were more than pleased to welcome
him back to the land of his boyhood
and paImy days when his name was
household word.
When Mr.. Mitchell left Denver,
Col, last Sunday he experienced a
stormy time. He purchased a first
class ticket from Denver, Col. to this
city and all went we'll until he reach
ed Chicago, H., to board a train for
this city. A colored porter endeavor-
ed to force him into a secOnd-clasS
coach very soon after he left Chica-
go, but when the colored porter found
out that Mr.. Mitchell knew that he
had Western blood in his veins, he
was let alone for time and told his
tale of woe to the white conductor,
who ventured to some authority by
requesting Mr.. Mitchell to go into a
second-class coach. He also was
given a severe rebuke by Mr.. Mitchell
and dehed the conductor to weigh the
weight of his hand upon him.
When this conductor was told what
the consequences would be if he
(Mitchel) was disturbed there was
no further trouble and Mr.. Mitchell
arrived in this city Monday night
safe and sound and greeted his wife
and children who are the pride of his
home
