From the very nature Of the
position, no man can feel so much
interest, solicitude and pride in
the enterprise and successes of his
town as an editor. To some e2-
tent, at least he feels charged with
the responsibility OF protecting,
advocating and defending every
local interest; and in his zeal to
see the business interests of his
town advance, tits not unfrequent-
ly the case that he becomes impa-
tient, and sometimes prioks his
constituents with sharpness that
they don't exactly relish. But,
after all, it works good; and IL the
editor Of q newspaper can't take
the liberty to overhaul his friends
when they need it, we would like

E..i,ement ON the Mesa.


To the Editor of THE CHIEF:
If you will grant me little space would
like to relate one of the most interesting
events that has occurred near Delta Of late,
which took place on Snow Shoe mesa last
week. This occurrance may be of a good
deal of benefit to our citizens and should be
remembered by all, as it may be that someone
will be desirous of having messag taken to
its destination in haste, and to know in whose
hands to place it. We have all read of fast
trains travelling mile a minute, and what an
accomplishment it was, too; we know the
velocity of light and sound; but there was
never anything seen equal to the race between
a snow-shoe rabbit, one of cur long-legged
citizens, and Hodgdon's brindle greyhound.
1t was hard to tell what they were after other
than to see which was the best man. The
ground on which the race occurred was
beautifully level, and the match was gotten
up suddenly, SO quick in fact the spectators
did not have time to think what was going on
until they were off. The hound and the |. !.
citizen evidently considered they were faster
than the rabbit, therefore they gave him
about twent PAGES; but his rabbitship could
not hold his own, and the betting became
very exciting among the spectators. One
hundred on tie citizen, seventy-hve on the
greyhound, to twenty-five on the rabbit. 1t
was evident that the citizen was away ahead,
and would certainly have won the race had
his wind held out, but his left lung clogged,
and he was soon overtaken by the hound.
The excitement at this stage of the race ran
wild; the betting began TO change, as the
rabbit was ginning his lost ground very rapid
ly, and soon took the lead. The citizen was
so completely exhausted that he was taken to
to his home on Main street in a Jackson am
bulance, drawn by two mammoth-eared Shet-
land ponies. The hound continued the race
but short distance, when he, too, returned
very much fa,igucd and perspiring freely.
The rabbit continued on running, and has not
been heard of since. There must have been
between SIS, 600 and $4,000 changed hands,
and at one time it was thought the whole
matter would end in row, as the long-legged
citizens hackers were heavy losers, and
rrea, many accuse him of throwing the race.
We would advise his friends TO have him
train. and take dose of cod-liver oil four
times day, and be rubbed down with the
same.morning and evening. If he will follow
these directions and go through the rubbing
down process for the next eighteen months,
we are willing to stake all We have on him.
