A MAN FOUND DEAD IN JAUKSON- VII.EE. a coronkk ’ s inquest held . On Friday last our little town was startled by tlie rumor that ijp.-re was a man lying at the old post office corner in a dying condi tion. Medical aid was instantly procured. Doctor Nat. Langell being called,after a care ful diagnosis pronounced it a case of politi cal paralysis, and, not being able to deter mine whether or not the man was dead, it was decided to call Doc. Turner, who forth with proceeded to hold an inquest. A jury was summoned and qualified. On examin ing the clothes of the deceased, fourteen printed blank tickets, headed Musa Conven tion, together with a pocket diary, were found. I pon tlie tickets were written iu pencil Johu E. lloss for Senator, XVm. Kah ler for Representative, E. B. Watson for Clerk and Bill Bybee for Sheriff. The bal ance was left blank. The diary found re vealed tlie fact that the owner had been de ceived by town manipulators of the late mass convention; that he had been promised a place on the ticket in consideration of his inlluenee tor Ross, XVatson and Bybee; that he had faithfully performed his part of the contract; that fifty tickets had been given him on the night preceding the convention, of which he had distributed thirty-live among hia particular friends and were put into George Brown’s hat and duly counted for the men who had so basely betrayed him; that he had been too modest to ask any of his friends to vote for himself; hence, to his great surprise, he did not have a single vote when the ballots were tallied; that the bad faith ot the ring overcame him entirely and his confidence in politicians was totally wrecked. The jury after hearing the recital of the man’s wrongs rendered the following ver dict: “We, the jury, find that the deceased died broken-hearted, occasioned by the unprec edented ingratitude of the ring who manip ulated the late mass convention. (Signed) A kchiualdas H olden , Foreman.” L ater .—On a more critical examination it was discovered that the supposed dead man was only a man of straw, which an nouncement made some of the jurors very boisterous and wrathv. Hoe. Turner ex plained that his eyes were bad and necessi tated the wearing of green goggles; that the coat and hat found on the supposed corpse had a familiar look; that he distinctly re membered having talked with a gentleman prior to the mass Convention who worejust such apparel, and In* begged leave to assure the jury that the mistake was an honest one.

A t I t A gain .—The Sentinel at tempts to make a point against W.

That it fails to tell the truth is painfully evident when it asserts that “it is a notorious fact Hint l’lymale placed the affaiis of the Clerk’s office in almost inextrica ble confusion in one month last Sum mer.” The Sentinel has not the least foundation for such a malicious asser tion; but that is of small consequence to its managers. Mr. Foudray denies it aud the records prove the falsity of the charge. Mr. l’lymale officiated dur ing the absence of the Clerk, about fourteen days in all, and if he was so manifestly incompetent, as our cotem porary would have us believe, Mr. Foudray would certainly not have re-engaged his services at the ensuing term of the Circuit Court. This is a very small way of manufacturing cap ital for its pet, Watson, who has not the first advantage over Mr. l’lymale in any way. S tanding I n .—From all over the county comes the report that Demo crats are standing up to their ticket and will give it a hearty support. Tlie soreness apparent after the convention has about all disappeared. All true Democrats perceive that it is a duty they owe their party and themselves to elect their nominees by an unmis takable majority. The mongrel ticket is far more objectionable than a straight Republican one would lie, inasmuch as it combines a set of chronic disorgan izers and offi e-seekers without a prin ciple to subserve or an idea to advauce.

REAMES BROS. AHEAD AS USUAL!! THE OLD TEMPLE of FASHION A nd now the troublesome Green- backers of Little Butte rise up i and ask by what authority must they support the bantling brought forth by the Mitchell side-show on the 4th. . They are not inclined to nod at the beck and call of Cox, Bybee & Co., who seek to transfer them—body, breeches and soul—to the safe-keeping of Mitchell’s agents. Hence they will decide in their club meeting if they will consent to be delivered over or not. They seem opposed to selling out their prin ciples for a few county offices distribut ed among some artful schemers who have joined them to speculate on the prestige such action may give them. And this combativeness seems to be prevalent m rhe ranks of the Green backers throughout the county. ' —OF— FALL & WINTER DRY-GOODS, FANCY GOODS, LADIES' DRESS GOODS, CLOTHING, HATS, BOOTS, ETC.
