MINING ACCIDENT. - Last Friday
while at work in drift on Canon Creek,
above Ahren's place, j. j. Francis met
with most serious accident. He had
put in giant powder blast which hung
fire, but went off just as he returned to in
vestigate, lacerating him in most horri
BILE manner. Both arms were terribly
torn, the flesh in places being freed from
the bones. The right arm is the worst,
and this DR.. Lord hopes to save, although
it may be necessary to amputate as a last
resort. Francis face is badly powder
burned and tho sight of the lett eye en-
tirely destroyed. He is man of good
constitution and extraordinary nerve
and although about go years old will pro
b"bly pull through the terrible ordeal
In his younger days he had part of his
foot shot off with a cannon ball in an en-
gagement between SLAYER and British
msn of-war, and only few years ago
had leg broken in mining claim on
Canon Greek. Besides these he has had
many other severe accidents in his time.
But Frank is tough and his time is pro-
badly not yet come.

SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT
The following account Of n most distress
ing accident, whereby the lives of Mrs.
Waldorf and daughter were lost by
drowning, is furnished us by Mr.. Thorn
MS Cox, Of Hyampom, under date of May
9th 4: :" 1t becomes my painful duty to
inform you of II shocking accident which
has just happened in our little valley -
The wife and daughter of Mr.. Jacob
Waldorf were drowned yesterday (Sun-
day under the following circumstances :
A young man named James Farris, n
friend of theirs, was passing through Hy
ampom on his wa,- to Lower Trinity or
Humboldt, and stopped 20 pay them Wis
it. On Sunday evening, Mrs. Waldorf
and her daughter Mary together with
Mr. Farris started for ride around the
valley. Reaching the South Fork, they
found the water pretty deep the ladies
crossed in boat, visited Mr.. Mckay
and then crossed the Hay Fork, which
was shallow, and came on to my place
After remaining here short time they
went to Mr.. Trembe's and from there
started for home. They had then to cross
the South Fork below the junction OF
Hay Fork. They received directions re-
garding the ford and went of light heart
ed. They travelled about II mile down
the river before coming to the ford and
/
feeling uncertain got Mr.. Lawrence to
show them just where to cross. He gave
them the necessary directions and they
started -Farris first, then Mary and
the old lady behind. The ford is on the
head of a very swift rapid, the water was
deep and they got too low down. Mr..
| Farris told the ladies to keep well up,
but just as he spoke, his horses legs were
swept from under him and he was taken
down the rapids. Mrs. Waldorf and
Mary were served the same all three
horses and riders being plunged under
the water. Farris escaped death but
hardly knows how. His horse rolled over
him, hurting his breast badly. lie also
suffers from tie water he swallowed and
is at present quite sick. After tho horses
fell, neither Mrs. Waldorf nor daughter
were seen any more. We have been
searching the river all day, some with
boats and hooks and going on either side,
but have found no sign of the bodies
We shall continue to look for them as
long as there is any hope OF their recov-
cry"

A HERo.-Ike Deiner of Minersvile,
was in town this week and gave us
graphic account of our young friend
VIM. Nollmers and his recent adventure
with a California lion, wherein Billy
oagged the game. He was led to tree
by his dog and observing the lion fred
and brought him down, but not being
mortally wounded the animal made off
and assembled another tree. Billy fol.
lowed and shot him second time, again
bringing him to the earth, this time on
his back aud apparently dead. APP
preaching him to within few feet, and
just as the dog had gone up to smell of
the lion, our hero observed that his
game still possessed considerable vitali-
ty rs he struck the dog with fore
paw and sent him some twenty feet
down the hill. To guard against fun
tber accident Billy gave him shot
through the head, and then to make
him deader aS dead" shot him in the
head twice more. Having no knife
with him, he returned to Deiner's house
and some Of the boys won't with him
and helped skin the animal. 1t was n
thoroughbred California Lion, measuring
eight feet and six inches IN length and
weighing about two hundred pounds
Ike says the whole camp set up with
our hero that night, but after showing
the pluck he did in attacking the lion
alone, we don't telieve Billy needed
much setting up with.

not ruminate, did not manifest 50
much desire for food as COWS fed on

time of going back to hay, the COWS
had neither lost nor gained flesh
After running to hay their stomS

As regards the economy of meal
feeding, Mr.. Miller points out that

900 pounds weight twelve days, and Is
equal to 24O pounds Of hay. Corn at
90 cents per bushel is therefore the
equivalent of hay at s. per ton OF
1000 pounds, and where it can be
had at that rate the cost Of winterlne
the animal will range from 81 to $40
according to GOODNESS and length Of
the foddering season. But hay, as q
rule, costs at least $40 per ton, and
frequently much more. Hence the
estimated saving by meal feeding Il
placed at from So to $50 per animal
according to the respective prices o
corn and hay.
