The only ripple of excitement that has dis
turbed this community for the past week,
was the arrest of Watson, last Saturday ev.
ening, at the house of Mr.. Scott, on Currant
creek, by Gray and Howard, of the North
Fork. Watson had been hcrding for Scott
for some time past, and the fact becoming
known the two men uhdertood the job Of ar
resting him. They went to Scotts house and
engaged Watson in conversation, and when
he was off his guard they pounced on him
and succeeded in taking him captive. Dur.
ing the melee Watson called for Scott, who
was on the outside, and on entering he was
shot twice by Mrs. Howard, who had accom-
panied her husband. One ball hit him in
the right breast just over the heart, and
struck large pocketbook filled with papers,
which saved his life. The ball went through
the papers before stopping, blackening the
skin somewhat under. The other ball struck
Il rib and glanced off. 1t was narrow cs.ll
for life. Watson was brought into town Sun
day morning, and taken to Montrose for tiial.

Judge Stephens proposes this year trying
the experiment of raising the second crop of
wheat from the same roots on his ranch on
the Garnet mesa. His wheat is now making
stalk. and with no misfortune he expects to
cut it by the middle of Jaly, and then imme-
diately irrigate the field. From experiments
tried in the county last fall it is believed this
can be done. Will. Clark raised the second
crop of oats from the old roots, last year. on
his ranch on the North Fork, by irrisating
the field after the first crop was harvested.
Specimens of this crop can be seen in this
Office. There seems to be no good reasons
known why wheat will not act in the same
manner. l.. S. Coleman, last year, on a
small patch, tried the experiment. and sue
ceeded in getting it in the milk, when he cut
it for fodder, being afraid Of the frost.
