we're bona which HI claims to be very
painful ones; tut- 1t is hard for Mat to
stay in the house even If he is half
sick. He loaded buggy on a wagon
this morning. It looks strange, how
ever, to see him eating his meals off

Mr.. Drake shows up in town once
in a while. He is now permanently
located on his ranch in Big Cotton

the spot Bear Bulch, as he says that
the other night as he went after wat

New Years passed in rather an a
greeable way, but quietly. At night,
everybody got together and had a
dance, when there was a very lively
time. AS the people had not had a
dance for two weeks, they seemed to
be trying to make up for lost time,
and from all accounts they made
good. There was only one feature that
looked out Of place, and that was that
the dance dismissed trihe early. 1t
should have kept up till daylight.
Mr.. O'Neil is still engaged in pros
pecting up at the Sunfower mine.
He is going over the ground from

of snow around Heist-something that

fore.
Old Pow-Wow, the Indian from a.
cross the valley, came into town the
other day, grabbing first one and then
the other of his ears and jabbering
about ten different Indian languages
all at the same time. This shows that
the weather was cold, and the way
Pow-Wow rushed up the street it must
have been at least 45 degrees below
zero. billiard Lancaster prepared a
good hot dinner for the native. Pow
Wow asked for some news papers
saying that he had heard there was
about to be big war in the old coun-
try.
