Sanford Jour: We have been informed.
by credible person, that during the
last week the current Of the st. Johns
river was observed flowing up stream and
into Lake Monroe. This is said to be the
result of the very low stage of water. the
slight fall from Lake Monroe to the bar
and the prevailing winds We have
heard it said before that the current of
the river had been seen to flow south
ward as far up as Lake George, but never
in to Lake Monroe. This is 4 very singular
phenomenon, if true, and strickingly in
dicates the scarcity of water in the river.

DIR. w. S. BRADBURY,
Magnetic Healer, Phrenologist and
Psychologist.
No MEDICINE USED.

His magnetic" outfit consists Of a
horseshoe magnet, an old spoon handle
to which was attached a very much
worn piano string and a little bottle
with a grayish brown powder in it, that
appeared to be Dovers powders. The
modus Operandi of his outfit, as eX-
planned to the reporter, were about
this: The spoon handle was placed I'M
der the tongue Of the patient, a silver
dollar on top Of the tongue, and the
piano string connected with the horse
shoe magnet, when it was supposed a
current of electricity was thrown into
the system of the patient. Another ar
ticle of his outfit consisted Of an old
gray sock, the toe folded and tied in a
very peculiar manner; but as to what it
was used for the reporter could not fluid
out.
When arrested Or" Bradbury had
on his person 800 OF, and his note book
gives the minutest details Of his diagnO-
sis, treatment, etc, and the places where
he stopped. 1t seems from this book
that he has been practicing in Fernan-
dina, Green Cove Spring and Middleburg.
At each place he seems to have had sew
eral patients, and to have collected con
siderable money.

NORTH FORK ITEMS.

NORTH FORK, February 2S.-The weather
still wears spring aspect. The ice is gone
from the river, and the birds of spring are
heard on every side. The farmers are pre-
pairing to put in their spring crop. of which
there will be large acreage planted as COM
pared with last year.
The snow in the mountains is unusually
deep, from which we all expect very high
water this spring.
The saw mill started for this place and that
stuck in the snow at Curicanti creek Decem-
ber last, was ordered to be taken back to Sap
inero and shipped to Delta, last week, but
the owners received word that it was impos-
sble, as the wagon road between the two
points was blocked with from five to twenty
feet of snow, and it would be some time be-
fore team could travel that road, as every
few days it was showing more. This is much
to be regretted by us here. as we are expect
ing great many settlers for our valley by
that road this spring, and the way it looks
now they can't get in in time to make i'm.
provements and crops this season. There are
many fine ranches yet to be taken along the
SooA
There are some very good claims held by
men who are unable to stock and farm them
as they should. Such ranches could be pur.
chased reasonable.
Mr. Hotchkiss, not to be outdone by the
county building bridge at Paonia has had
his men at work on his bridge for the last
month, until it is now the best bridge in the
w ,;t n
him to collect toll from the passers, as he de.
serves it. The Commissioners, we presume,
thought we had bridge at this end Of the
valley when they located bridge at Paonia,
or else supposed that Mr.. Hotchkiss was a
county in himself Now the time will come
when three bridges will be necessary, and
why not build the first one in the center, and
as the county gets more able and the travel is
greater, put them at other points. As for the
Hotchkiss bridge, it is part of his private
Improvements, and instead of the county be-
ing at the expense incident to bridges, he
pays the county tax on it.
Mr. Drake is at work like beaver on the
mill and log boom, though disappointed in
getting the mill out of the snow at Curicanti
as soon US he hoped to. He has ordered a
little mill from st. Louis that he can cut up
the small timber along the stream and then
turn it to account it lath and picket mill,
and will be ready to start it as soon as it gets
here. He says he will set up his corn mill
this spring if he can get enough of the corn
in the settlement to make it half pay.
We understand that a movement is on foot
in Gunnison to send an army of prospectors
into the mountains up the North Fork this
spring. as some Gunnison parties made an
inspection of that country last fall, and are
infatuated with the prospects. 1t seems that
that country has never been prospected to
any extent. Don.

Agrarian Troubles ON the North Fork

AgraPian Troubles ON the NOrth FORK.
| To the Editor of THE CHIEF:
HoTCuKIss. March 8, 1ss4.-Since the first
settlement of the valley a certain lawless
clique have held high carnival here, intro
ducing bull-dozing, and in several instances
driving from the country peaceable and law
abiding citizens. And in several other in
stances they tried the same game on men of
nerve who didn't run worth a cent.
Last October located on the North Fork,
upon an almost inaccessible mesa, upon
which single location had never been made
proceeded to improve my ranch by build
ing houses, also plowing and locating and
surveying ditch eight miles in length, and
building three miles of the same. 1t has cost
me over one thousand dollars.
Now one of the old settlers has changed
his location so as to take in forty acres of my
best land and backed up and accompanied
by part of the aforementioned gang, in the
darkness of the night, visited my house and
ordered me to leave forthwith, and threaten
ed to tear down my buildings. and me and
my family with violence if | do not leave.
Now, as a stranger, wish to know if this
part of the country is to be governed by the
officers of the law or by mob who use the
names of Enos Hotchkiss and other citizens
as a shield to their lawlcssness. ] am a law
abiding man, and expect the law to protect
my life and property. If it is powerless to
do so will protect myself. And I hereby
give public notice to that mob if they come
again, as they threaten, to offer violence to
my property, myself, or my little ones, will
fight them as long as have drop of blood
or cartridge remaining.
