Last week a party consisting of Mrs. Lou Gatton and olive branches. Miss Minnie Drake, Ben McClure and Jim Hill went up the West Fork about twenty miles above here after moun- tain trout. The makeup of the party on leaving here was of the recherche order. They were having a splendid time catching trout, when on returning to their camp one evening they found it entirely destroyed by fire — tents, bed- ding, provisions, etc. As it was too late to get back here, they set up all night, and swapped prevarications, with an occasional nod, whilst leaning up against a friendly pine. On their arrival here the recherche lustre was gone and the moire antique had taken its place.
