CIMAROON COLUMN.

f ‘' L M Fete JMtlnga a. f the Charter Neither* ert the thtttutter FocoMm*, ete. Christopher Columbus Warner, (Colorado Carl) is resting from his arduous duties as manager of the club. He will converse pleasantly with anyone wishing to interview him, also has his photographs on sale. Gen. Robert E. Lee Spitler has moved his quarters in the cool and airy rooms above the post office and back of the hall. Indigestion confines him to these quarters until 10 a. m., daily. His cash register attends to all matters of any importance until that hour. A trip to Gifford's dredge has resulted in a great change for the better.

Barney Dawitt Hopkins, alias T. DeWitt Talmage, has -shaven his Samsonian locks and otherwise improved his property. He, like Cleveland, is taking treatment to reduce his surplus adipose tissue, with success. As treasurer of the club he has been a deserving officer and deserves the sympathy of the entire community in which he resides.

Col. Wm. Edgar-Go-Nye-Fen dig entertains at his sanctum every evening and the heavy bottomless chairs at his rendezsvous are evidences of the sitting qualities of Cimaroon members. Col. Bill’s chances for re-elec-tion as secretary of the club are good, although the opposing factors are doing some “slick” wire pulling. Peter Pinder Cox, the hero of a thousand stories, is grinding “his daily grist” and his jocular face peeping through his coat of white is the cause of many a fair damsel remarking, “Isn’t he a ‘purty Peter?’ ” “Frisco Fred,” the sole survivor of the famous Kankakee marsh and Fair Oaks ride, holds dally receptions in his wigwam and relates the many sights seen at the Fair. He thinks Buffalo Bill ought to have a blue ribbon for an all around exhibit. He and Bill had a real good time while at the Fair. Bring a stick to whittle when you come. Probably the one member who is taking the summer with the most ease and grace is the original and only philosopher, Vic. His love for the fair sex is worthy of note and it matters not whether she comes from the far-off mountains <sf New Mexico or from lhe banks of the scenic Tippecanoe. His courtesy and favor have won him an enviable place in their hearts.

Jovial Jim Chapman, of Pike’s Peak fame, is a familiar object on our streets after office hours, but whether from loss of friend or appetite a few large furrows have found a place in his usually placid brow. A rousing meeting of the club was held Monday evening, at which considerable business was transacted. A number of offenders were brought before the president and fined for various offenses. Peter Pinder Cox was fined the usual amount for telling the same story twice in different ways. Charges were brought against Frank Hanley and he was aroused from a sound slumber and brought before the court. He plead guilty to having read three copies of the Sentinel and was assessed the usual amount. A number of others were fined for coming too early to meeting, and still others for coming too late. Ten new members were taken into the order. Before adjourning the Pilot was declared the official organ of the club.
