TolJin', an Indian, came to Marys-
ville yesterday with his wife, six.
children and the proceeds of the sale
of S mine, on Salt Creek. First Jim
purchased a quantity of vari-colored
shirts and guady bandanas and then
started for a drive about town.
Back of a livery stable Jim spied
a discarded hearse which looked good

which a barber shop was housed. The
basement was dug slowly and this
summer the heavy concrete founda

ready for Mr. Haworth to go ahead
with the upper construction. The
building will be one of the most at

lars will rise on the foundations along
Main street, the spaces between be
ing taken up with windows. Heavy
lintels from pillar to pillar will sup

Windows will be so large a part of the
front that little, stone will be used
there, and what is used will be huge
blocks that will be decidedly orna
mental and will give a massive and
substantial appearance to the struc
ture that will greatly enhance its
beauty.

the driver's seat and started the
horses at a trot. After a short drive
through the business section the
party set forth on the 60-mile drive
