He followed it until he came to the animal which made it, and found himself unable to decide what it was. Two large horns came out of the head and bent forward. Where they first came out they were not round, but more the shape of a man’s wrist. They flattened out-and-divided into three branches. The animal was. very large, probably over three hundred pounds, and of a brownish color. It ran away from him, and he followed it quite a ways down the American Canyon, His description of it coincides more nearly with the moose than the elk or deer, The moose is found in the country far to the north quite plentifully, and one may have wandered way down there. rs Counterfeit Coin. * Counterfeit half-dollars, fashioned after a coin of the-Philadelpnia Mint made-in 1877; have made their-appearance in San Franciseo. “The milling is the most imperfect detail of the coin, asthe edges havebeen toned down in reducing the inequalities of the surface. The ring differs but slightly from that of the genuine article’ and the base composiuon is equally difficult to detect. QQ Nevada Lodge No. 13, F. & A. M., @tated Meeting.

It is rumored that an agent for corner lots in the Wood River country will be at the bald-head party next week for the purpose of presenting the great advantages that his section of country offers to all citizens who are barefooted on the apex of their craniums. He is about closing.a contract with this -office to have the following printed in big type, handsomely hung at the head of the _ hall on the night that the ball takes place: ‘John Jurgens, whohas just returned to Winnemucca from Wood river, Nevada, says that country is destined to be the most popular place in the world for bald-headed men, Owing to some pecullarity of the climate or the water, men who went there last Spring with heads as smoot as billiard balls now have a fine growth of hair started. Billy Powers on whose cranium quite an alkali flat had been started. before he left last Spring, now has a luxuriant growth of hair, and he could not be prevailed upon to leave the country until the new crop of hair has time to take deep root.” Doctors’ Bills. The Bodie Free Press thinks that people should always pay their doctor -bills, giving them the preference above all others, Instead of this, with a very large class, the reverse is true, and the doctors’ bill is the last one paid. The coolness with which excuses are given for delay is astonishing and almost in}. credible. A friend gave us a few of them as offered by persons who were able to pay, and whom he had faithfully served. Said one, ‘Doctor, I have paid every bill I’ owed on the first of January, my dry goods, groceries, provisions and all other bills except yours, and ~ the next moneyI get I will apply to your bill.” Said another, ‘I was obliged to buy my wife a sealskin cloak, and framed and.

Justice of the Peace Robinson was one of their victims. With his usual good judgment he concluded they were too many for him, and quietly got out of the way. They subsequently interfered with others among the coasters, including indignities, and was in return set upon and beaten, but notseriously, by them. He went into Justice Robinsen’s court and swore out a complaint against George Tracy and Chas. Kelly, the only ones in the crowd of assai.ants that he ceuld remember the name of. Officer Venard took the warrant and a couple of hours later found them in a faro game. They were taken before the Justice, pleaded guilty, and paid a lucky for them that so few of our local “hitters” were abroad while they were indulging in their obnoxious conduct on Broad street. —— > What Is lt? » The Reno Gazette says that Sim Jordan, who used to live-in this township, but is now over at Blue Canyon, recently came across a large track which seemed to be that of an immense deer or a two-yearold heifer. He followed it until he came to the animal which made it, and found himself unable to decide what it was. Two large horns came out of the head and bent forward. Where they first came out they were not round, but more the shape of a man’s wrist. They flattened out-and-divided into three branches. The animal was. very large, probably over three hundred pounds, and of a brownish color. It ran away from him, and he followed it quite a ways down the American Canyon, His description of it coincides more nearly with the moose than the elk or deer, The moose is found in the country far to the north quite plentifully, and one may have wandered way down there. rs Counterfeit Coin. * Counterfeit half-dollars, fashioned after a coin of the-Philadelpnia Mint made-in 1877; have made their-appearance in San Franciseo. “The milling is the most imperfect detail of the coin, asthe edges havebeen toned down in reducing the inequalities of the surface. The ring differs but slightly from that of the genuine article’ and the base composiuon is equally difficult to detect. QQ Nevada Lodge No. 13, F. & A. M., @tated Meeting.

It is rumored that an agent for corner lots in the Wood River country will be at the bald-head party next week for the purpose of presenting the great advantages that his section of country offers to all citizens who are barefooted on the apex of their craniums. He is about closing.a contract with this -office to have the following printed in big type, handsomely hung at the head of the _ hall on the night that the ball takes place: ‘John Jurgens, whohas just returned to Winnemucca from Wood river, Nevada, says that country is destined to be the most popular place in the world for bald-headed men, Owing to some pecullarity of the climate or the water, men who went there last Spring with heads as smoot as billiard balls now have a fine growth of hair started. Billy Powers on whose cranium quite an alkali flat had been started. before he left last Spring, now has a luxuriant growth of hair, and he could not be prevailed upon to leave the country until the new crop of hair has time to take deep root.” Doctors’ Bills. The Bodie Free Press thinks that people should always pay their doctor -bills, giving them the preference above all others, Instead of this, with a very large class, the reverse is true, and the doctors’ bill is the last one paid. The coolness with which excuses are given for delay is astonishing and almost in}. credible. A friend gave us a few of them as offered by persons who were able to pay, and whom he had faithfully served. Said one, ‘Doctor, I have paid every bill I’ owed on the first of January, my dry goods, groceries, provisions and all other bills except yours, and ~ the next moneyI get I will apply to your bill.” Said another, ‘I was obliged to buy my wife a sealskin cloak, and framed and.
