This is a nice place to stop, but it is a little too rich for my blood, I guess Not so much as regards price, but I can see that I am beginning to excite curiosity among the boarders. People are coming here to board just because I am here, and it is disagreeable. I do not court notoriety. I have always lived in a plain way, and I would give a dollar if people would look the other way while I eat my pie.
Yours truly,
E.O.D.
To E. Wm. Nye, Esq.
P.S.—This is not a dictated letter. I left my stenograffer and revolver at Pumpkin Buttes.

Crowns and Crowned Heads.
During the hot weather very few crowns are worn this season, and a few hints as to the care of the crown itself may not be out of place.
