TI,e Inter.xtate shoottu~ 1

The Interstate Shooting Match.
The California team to shoot against the
Nevada team at Carson next September
for the interstate trophy. held a meeting
in the armory Of Company G, First Regi.
plent, on Post street, last Wednesday.
The team has been strengthened since the
result Of the competition for places was
known, by the addition Of several Of the
beat shots OF the National Guard, and the
additional names had to be submitted to
Adjutant-G General Cosby for his approval.
The names of the California team and
and their records were published in the
SESTISEL's kilograms yesterday. Because
Of the fact that the Adjutant Generals
approval had not been received, the meet
ing could take no official action regarding
the details Of organization, or in providing
ways and means to go over the mountains.
As soon as the Adju'ant Generals decision,
II favorable, is known, the team will
organize, elect a captain, and start into
regular practice. They will spend a week
on the Carson range practising at the tar
got-a necessary step if the C~alifornians
are to bring back the trophy, as the
Washoe zephyrs are known to be trouble
some to shoot against, even by those who
encounter them constantly.

A Raging Maniac Fakes Posses
sion Of Austin.
The Reveille recounts at length the do
ings Of the crazy man, William Cornell, In
Austin, July IS, 1868, exploits that some
Eurekans, then Of Austin, remember very
wildly. He started in a raving maniac
that day to clean out the town with an Ak.
he first felled his partner in business,
William Milligan. He then vent out into
the street and began to slash at everybody.
He whacked John 8. Cspron, now of Eu-
reka, on the elbow. He cleft the head Of .
man named "Frenchy" from the left crown
to the right side Of the neck.
The Reveille tells the rest of the story in
a graphic manner as follows: E. o. Ander-
son received q severe cut above the left ear.
Charles Ludlow got a dangerous cash over
the left temple. William Mills was struck
on ther right side Of the head and had his
skull laid bare. Nick Hammersmith, a
barber. now Of Reno, saved his head by
sacrificing his right hand and arm TO a
descending blow. A fearful wound was
caused, but Nick succeeded in saving these
useful members. Chas. Trueman threw
himself over a bank just in time to save
everything except a breast pocket, which
was cut away. Mr.. Powell lodged and
only received Q slight cut in the back.
On the maniac went, turning neither to
the right nor left, not noticing what re-
suits his blows had. He was now nearing
Clifton, then . busting little metropolis,
when . freak caused him to change ends
to his reeking Ak and use the handle as .
war club, knocking several persons sense
less, but inf1icting no very serious wounds.
Running the entire length Of Clifton, he
started in the direction Of JacobsvilIe, o
short distance further on. Up to this time
he had been shot at several times, but with
ont effect. An armed force was quickly
got together, and they started after the
mailman, but were unable to overtake
him, for he went with the speed Of . race
horse.
The next morning. however, his dead
body was found . mile down the Jacobs
vile road. On the hack Of his bead was
an ugly cash evidently self-inficted some
time during the fearful run; his throat
was cut from ear to ear and five stabs were
found over his heart. These wounds we're
all supposed to have been inflicted by
himself, as he also had . knife with him.
But whether they were or not, the horror
stricken communities were too glad to
know that he was dead to inquire into who
killed him very particularly. So great was
the terror that he inspired, that for some
time after, all that was necessary to create
a stampede was TO yell 1.-THE man with the
ax!"

MoLrrSo OF FowLs.-When fowls are

are rarely good layers, and are usually
Asiatics and their crosses. They are
generally infested with vermin, that de-
stroy the life of the feathers, and causes
them to drop prematursly. If the fowls
bodies are kept clean, the feathers will

season arrives tor the regular mott, the
new feathers are ready to take the place
made vacant by the WORKOUT dress; in
a few days the body Ii covered bright

bird kept up and, in many instances, the
egg production also. Melting usually
occurs IN August and September. but
some fowls do net mott until into Octo-
Der and November. These fowls are
generally the large layers, but with good
care aud food they will pass through
this season with small difficulty, if
warmly houre at night. They seldom
make NO strong or coed birds as those
which drop the feathers at the usual
period.
