transpired in Pahranagat Valley in June
last, that looks very much like an
outrage. 1t seems that a party of old
Indians were engaged in farming, on their
own account, small plot of ground on
the lower end of the ranch owned by
MIR. Sharp. A man named Frenchy,
living near, owned stock that naturally
encroached on the growing crop, and
the Indians were constantly compelled
to herd them off. Mr.. Frenchy, it ap-
pears, became indignant at the persistent
herding, and one day followed veneer.
able warrior to his wickiup and shot him
dead. A man named Nichols entered a
complaint to the Justice of the Peace at
Hiko but was ignored by that function
airy, who afterwards arranged the matter
in private session with Mr. Frenchy, ac-
quitting him of all blame on the ground
of self defense.
A NOVEL invention, and very useful
one, has lately been patented by Peter
Heitzelman Of Tombstone, Arizona, once
our fellow ownsman. 1t is a faucet for
coal oil cans, and is so constructed that
an ordinary coal oil can may be tapped
and set in place without spilling single
drop; and that in less time, with less
trouble, less danger, less waste and much
more cleanliness than the same can could
be emptied into first-cass oil tank
with. Like all useful inventions it is
very simple indeed, and although years
of thought and labor were expended in
perfecting it, still anyone can, in a
moment, apply it to its practical use.
1t is sold for -, only fifty cents more
than the price of a faucet alone without
the patent appliance, and is the cheapest
thing, at the price, that we have seen
for long time. j. Poujade is Phoebe
agent.
PARDoNED.-Wm. Rosemary, sent to
the State prison for killing fellowman
one evening on Meadow Valley street,
has been pardoned by the Board of
Pardons at their late session held in
Carson. 1t will be remembered that
Rosemary, while under the influence of
| liquor, was walking up Meadow Valley
street, and espying a man laying ON the
sidewalk drunk and asleep, pulled his
revolver out of his pocket and took a
shot at the man, the ball entering the
body of the sleeping man and killing
him. Rosemary has been very near
blind for several years, and this very
likely caused sympathy with the Board
and secured his release from prison. He
will 80 down to Southern California to a
married sister living there, who will take
care of him.

IT must be fearful hot down on the
Muddy Robt. Logan, who arrived in
Phoebe from st. Joseph on Saturday
last, says that he had left two acres of
lucerne standing in the field for the
purpose of going to seed, and that it was
so extremely hot on the 3rd and 4th that
the blossoms were actually burned up,
and on the 3rd the heat caused about
half OF his grape crop to burst open.
