William Kennedy was arrested, this
morning, for disturbing the peace,

one told him that he had heard John
Sullivan boast that he (Sullivan)
would shoot his (Kennedy's) eye out.
This enraged the latter to the point OF
''declaring" that neither Sullivan nor
any other man could shoot his eye out
and he INDUCED in somewhat hostile
demonstrations. He threatened nc
one in particular, but as he was rather
obstreperous it was finally decided tc
stake him in" Jack Campbell being
called on, took him home, and pur
him to bed after making him promise
that he would not cone out agai,
during the night, and that he would
appear in court to-day.
Judge Parsons sentenced him t.
pay fine of $40 and costs.

THE MILK BUSINESS.
Owing to the Drying Up Of the Grass,
1t Has CGased to Pay.

The grass is getting so dry and in
nutritious that the COWS can no longer
be depended on for onehalf the
quantity Of milk which they gave
heretofore. They have, within the
past two weeks, dropped from ] gal
Ions per day to two quarts. Some OF
the cows have already been sent Out
in consequence, and others will doubt
less soon follow. This will tend te
make milk scarce, and dealers viii
now have fine opportunity to sci
good, pure water at the rate OF abou
so cents per quart.

WHAT Is THERE IN THlSi
Did Sheriff FureY Really Compel Man
to Take County Scrip ut Par


to Take County Scrip at Par 7
A report is being circulated in this
city in effect that Sheriff Furey forced
one of his creditors to take county
scrip in payment OF his claim. We
know nothing OF the circumstances OF
the case, and are not even informed Of
the name of the creditor. But we
nevertheless feel safe in challenging
the parties who circulate the report tc
the proof, confident that Sheriff FureN
is incapable Of wrong-doing.
If the people of Alturas count,
only knew how honorable their presen
Sheriff is, they would frown down a
the outset any attempt to blacken hi
character.

James Fish, general agent for Idaho

will light fire on Main street, oppo-

hitting it to gain a good Roadway,
will put it out with, at most, two cylin-
ders of the extinguisher. Mr.. Fish
has already placed his extinguisher
wherever he has offered it, as it is be-
yond doubt the best in the market,
and no careful business man cares to
be without as soon as he hears Of it.
