\V. T. Garratt, one* of the litigants in
the 24 1. m. jr. case, decided that he
would not await the. decision of the cas.!
at Eagle next July, so in company with
Hen Stickney, as his legal adviser and
windlass man. he proceed * t, s> we are
informed, to dive into the pavslreak and
engage in the plcasiu t lah >r of rocking
out nuggets, big as lieu eggs.
This put the rest of the litigants into a
trance with amazement at his tain eritv.
When they came to, all proceeded in a
procession, fally half a mile long, he a l ni
by Atty. Green, to the scene. \V lea
the much litigated claim was reached,
Mr. Garratt, we are informed, told Mr.
Green, who was spokesman of the pro
cession, which was still in its original
formation, one behind the other and all
behind Green, that he would see Green
to the eternal bow-bows and if he came
any closer, would perforate him with a
coat pocket, which he thrust in a men
acing manner at Green's small ribs.
At this juncture all had urgent busi
ness in to wn and there was a general dis
position to sprint and dispute with Green
the honor of getting into camp first.
When camp was reached the badlv
winded delegation discovered that Gar
ratt was notin pursuit; but h id rein lin
ed on the claim.Chris Baker, receiver, has
removed tile ladder and windlass, and
notified Garratt to quit work, under pen
alty of arrest for contempt of court.
