A man who in early days mined along Gold Run just south of town, and after making his pile went elsewhere to enjoy it, returned here a few days ago to have a. look at the ground. He took a walk out that way, and when he thought he had gone about far enough to reach it began to look around for some familiar landamark. He couldn’t find one. The face of the country was all new to him. D. B. Getchell came along while he stood there trying to get his bearing. ‘‘Ah there!’’ ejaculated dumfounded stranger. “Good morning,’’ said Getchell. “T’m turned around,’”’ remarked the first speaker. “Why don’t you turn back then?” asked the rancher. “That’s just what I am trying todo. But I’ll have to get a little information first.” “Now see here, my friend,” warned Getchell, ‘if you are one of those sneaks known ag antimining spies, I have nothing to Say excepting that the quicker you skip out of this neighborhood, the better opinion of me you will carry away with you. But if you are a gentleman, I am at your service.”? The man explained he was searching for a ravine ‘that he used to mine in during the fifties, but it seemed to have got misplaced. ; ‘“‘What was the name of that ravine?”’ “Gold Run.’* “There she is,” said Dana pointing out the broad clover fields for which the Getchell ranch is famous. The enquirer went on to tell why this could not possibly be so. Here was now an extensive and fertile flat, while Gold Run was a graveled gorge. He was told that the change was due to the throwing.of dams across the ravine and the . the consequent filling up of the de‘. Pressionby mining slickens. He was too polite « man to openly dispute such an assertion, but the phantom of incredulity settled over his visage. He came back to town and upon further inquiry became satisfied he had been rightly informed. Two or three days later he went out there again and hunt> ed up Getchell. “I thought I would drop out and Say to you,’’ he explained to the rancher, ‘‘that if you ever come down into the lower part of the visit me. I have heard of 160 acres of slickens there that I can buy for $3 an acre, and I’m going tosettle onitand grow up with the country as a farmer. If you can raise such crops on the stuff, ] guess Ican. I’m going to try it, anyway.’’ ; —_ o—__—_— Good News for the Militia.

It makes quite a difference whether anew recruit must wear an old patched up uniform or if he can get a complete new suit made toorder.

The Beeotia-like serenity of Grass Valley was rudely disturbed ab>ut half-past three o’clock Saturday afternoon by the “petulant pop” of a pistol. Thomas Land, an old and respected citizen. of the town, was the shooter, and a Nevada City “lover” and opium fiend known as John Baldwin wasthe target which Mr. Land practiced on. The weapon was a big Colt’s revolver which ought to have performed better service than it did, if size and reputation ‘are of any advantage. The first shot was fired near the corner of Bennett and Main streets, not far from Land’s residence, and the bullet struck Baldwin above the hip to the right of the navel, and pass-ing around under the skin emerg-— ed from back of the side’s center. It did not penetrate the cavity.The fellow ran away, when Land fired at him a second time without effect. Baldwin is now at the cabin of his uncle in Grass Valley having the wound treated. It is not a serious one. The officers say that Baldwin has for some ‘time been paying attentions to a daughter of Land’s contrary to the wishes of the latter, and has boasted to his uncle that he proposed to not only entice her away from home, but to complete his work by putting her into a house of ill fame and making her support him. The uncle informed Land of the fellow’s intentions. Last Friday Baldwin wrote to the girl from this city, saying he would call upon her next day. Land intercepted the letter and made preparations to receive the villain. Baldwin was a running mate of Hart alias Calhower before the latter was sent to State Prison for bur— glary, and has for several months been a regular inmate of a house. of ill fame on Pine street in this city. The officers here say that if he comes back to the county seat they will send him up on a charge of vagrancy. Arthur Anderson, the man who some months ago beat P. Joyce go severely at the Centennial mine in Washington township where Anderson was working as a miner and Joyce as an engineer, has again propelled himself iato the clutches of thelaw. About nine o’clock Saturday evening he was playing pool with J ames’ Bays ‘in a Grass’ Valley saloon, and accused the latter of cheating him. Words léd to blows, and Anderson gave Bays a\severe beating. He was arrested ‘by Marshal Reynolds, and it is reported. that he attemptec to resist ‘being taken into custody. He is now out on bail. ; Something for Everybody, this week and next offer extraordinary attractions’ to people in search of goods appropriate for holiday gifts. The stock is extensive and varied, and embraces things that are useful as well as ornamental. What can bea nicer present than some handsome piece of household furniture such as en easy chair, a lounge, a willow or rattan chair, a hall stand, a set of bookshelves, or something else in that line? Crossing the street to the other store conducted by the same firm, will be found an immense display of novelties in porcelain, “china and glassware, pocket and table cutlery of a! kinds, fine lamps, and everything that can be found in a large hardware and house furnishing establishment. Legg & Shaw’s prices are reasonable in all departments. bE) Men and Women in Life’s Prime Who rise unrefréshed, feel languid through the day, have litéle appetite,and whose faces exhibit a sallow tint,are on the short road effect a radical change in their condition they will not reach old age. Invigoration is the only means of their salvation. Upon Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters t. ey can rely to furnish them with the stamina, which is a prerequisite of health, and to remove that prime cause of continued debility, indigestion and non-as similation of the food. Weclass these causes as one, since they are joint functions of one organ, the stomach, chiefly. Built up and rehabilitated with this superb restorative of vigor, the system may bid defiance to malaria, rhematism, bladder and kidney diseases, and other maladies proneto attack the enfeebled. The Bitters not only affords a safeguard against disease of a virulenttype, but effects a prompt reform in the condition of a drowsy or disordered liver and irregular bowels. Positive Fact.—Ne remedy has ever met with such general approval as the National Horse Liniment. If you have any regard for the horses under your care do not delay, but procure a bottle of the National Heese Liniment at once and place it in a stable for immediate use. . D.
