DUNCAN CITY, JUNE y.
Score another live week for Duncan.
For the past few days these docks have
presented quite a metropolitan appear
ance; sometimes as high as dozen YES
sells being in at one time, and eight or
ten taking lumber. That smoke stack
is up, and the Parana has sailed for
Erie.
H. M. Roberts bored out the cylinder
of the barge S. G. Hall.
The pile driver is at work on short
extentiOn of the docks.
The little mill begins to have the ap-
pearance of business intentions, and will
soon be anxious for saw-logs.
Considerable hard wood timber is COM
ing in just now, for use in these shops,
and some day it will occur to this coun-
try that its mills can saw such timber
for the markets.
The barge Oakland, with the R. n. Rice
and Fanny Neil in tow, takes lumber
east, also the Glasgow, with consorts
Jane RalstOn, Eureka, Dashing Wave
and India.
The little Coaster takes cargo to
Two Rivers, Wis. The Imperial is load
ing shorts for Chicago, and the barge
scow Norway is waiting for chance to
load. The new mill runs steadily, cut
ting well up toward 100000 feet per day
of IL hours, and thus the business goes,
workmen busy, and managers happy.
Thompson Smith and Mr.. Craig took
the cars Thursday morning for
Saginaw. Martil Ames, son of Joseph
Ames, met with an accident resulting In
broken arm. DR.. Chas. Perrin set it,
and thinks he will recover speedily.

TARANTULA PRIZE FIGHT.
TDenver Tribune.1

Many stories have been told of the
venomous nature and vicious habits of
the Arizona tarantula, but Messrs.
Tamnen & Co. and few of their pat
rons recently saw an exhibition OF the
ugly creatures disposition which
shows that he is not afraid to battle
with his own kind on an equal
ground. Among other cnriosities
brought here with the collection re-
ferred to were two of these huge in
sects, both of which were full grown.
One was of the brown and the other OF
the black variety. The brown fellow
was Gagged in a common cigar box and
the black one in glass jar. AS they
could not be exhibited to advantage in
contrivances of this kind, and as they
We're not very pleasant company to
have running about loose, n box al
most two feet square, with Il glass top,
was procured, on the bottom of which
a layer Of sand was spread to make the
animals feel at home. The cover was
then drawn and the two spiders pitch
ed into it from their separate cages.
No sooner did the one discover the
others presence than they rushed at
each other as viciously as two panthers
and Immediately closed in deadly en-
brace. They came together with II
bound, and then twining their long,
hairy legs about each other, rolled over
and over in the sand, biting each other
savagely and then tugging with all
their might, as if endeavoring to crush
each other by sheer muscular power.
Incredible as it may seem, this sort Of
warfare was kept up for six hours, dur
ing most of which time it could not be
seen that either was gaining the sligh-
test advantage, AS neither showed any
sign on disposition to end the fight eX-
cept by the death of his adversary. :.At
last the black one succunbed and roll
ed over dead on the sand, while the
victor Immediately proceeded to reap
the spoils of his long battle. Scizing
his vanquished enemy in his stout
horns and piucers, or whatever contri-
vance he has for that purpose, he
rapidly tore him limb from limb and
coolly proceeded, in true cannibalistic
style, to make Il meal of him. In Il
a very short time nothing was left OK
cept Il little pile of legs and pieces of
shell to mark the spot where one taran-
tula had fallen and another had dined i.
Many persons who have passed the
window within the past two or three
days have doubtless mistaken this lit
tie pile of tarantulic debris for the real
| live animal, when u closer inspection
would have shown the living vcrmin
hidden away in one corner of the box
lazily digesting his meal.

the hands of their infuriated pursuers,

frenzied by the deadly fire poured up
on them, and hoping for no quarter at
the hands of their infuriated pursuers,
with common impulse they plunged
into the waters of the lake and We're
drowned, after frantic efforts to swim
beyond the aim of the deadly rifles,
whose line of fire shut them from the
shore. The sun of that clear day set
upon Il broken tribe, its braves floating
dead upon the waters of the lake.
Two alone of that fighting band, the
flower Of their tribe, escaped to tell
the tale. For months the bleaching
bones, strewing the shore aud shining
in the sun, remained as grim reminders
of that eventful day.
This region was in after years the
scene OF a second and more awful
tragedy. 1t came with the spasm and
shock of the great earthquake of 1873,
which had for its centre this immediate
region. Human language has no pha-
ses of horror to describe the agony OF
that supreme hour Of peril, that night
when amid deep darkness the valley
rose and fell in mighty billows, and the
mountain ranges reeled like drunken
men. The waters Of the lake rushed
from their bed in Il solid mass far into
the valley. The river was shaken
from its course, ana its atfrighted
waters refused to flow, while the fall
Ing dwellings of Lone Pine crnsed un-
der their ruins twenty-three human

S51. Carriers of the mail must not
accept mail-matter handed to them in

LAW GOVERNING NOTARIES AND
RECORDERS.

Section No. 40 ofact No. 96, govern
sales, reads US follows:
"That no notary or parish recorder
shall pass any act of sale or shall recog.
'nlZe the signature of any witness or
witnesses to any private act of sale with
view to give said private act of sale
the sanctity of a public act, unless
there shall be attached to said act of sale
or notarial act or private act, the receipt
of the officer or officers whose duty it
is to collect the parish, municipal, levee
district, and State taxes, aud the receipt
of the city tax collector, if said property
be located within the limits of any
Incorporated city or town, showing
that all the taxes due to the State,
levee district. parish, and city have
been paid in full to date" rg.
The old law on this subject only re-
quired that these officers should SEQ
that the taxes on property so trans
ferred were paid as far as exiSible.
The present law differs from it in this,
that all the taxes due on tho property
must be paid ut the time the sale is
made, and we warn parties who are
purchasing real estate to SEQ that the
taxes of 1882 are paid, otherwise tho
act OF sale is mere nullity and not
worth the paper it is written on.
The above copied from tho lbcrvillc
South is hardly complete without tho
penal section, which reads as follows
Sec. 7l. That any notary public or
recorder violating this act shall be
guilty Of misdemeanor and tho act
offered in evidence shall DO 2)rinsa ia
cfe evidence of guilt. The District At
torney, on the otrense being made
known to him, shall proceed against
such officer by indictment or informa-
ton, aud on conviction, such officer
shall be fined not less than ono hun
| dred dollars nor moro than two hun
dred dollars.
