truck containing about ftto.OUO in
gold dust left tlie express office for

j of 9150,000. There is a large
amount on the trail coming this

town. The next shipment will
probably he double the present one.

appears that l>ick. having a few
liesure lnements. determined to oil
the floor. He selected the wrong

i of very valuable mange cure before
the mistake was discovered. The
j dogs now go in and roll on the
1 floor to get the benefit of the cure,
and as the remedy is guaranteed to
grow hair in less "than two weeks,
most of the bald-headed men in
town are very carefully watching
the effects on the Hoor.
