What Sporting Men Rely On.

When Lewis r. Redmond, the South
Carolina moonshiner, cornered, after
for eight years eluding the government
efnclals, when asked to surrender, he
exclaimed:
Never, to men who fire tiny back.n
Before he was taken, five bullets had
gone clean through him, but strange to
relate, he got well, ia the hands of q
ruse backwoods nurse.
by the way, if Garfield had been in
the hands of q backwoods nurse, he
might have lived. A heap of volunteer
testimony against the infallibility of
the physicians has been accommodating
of late, aud people are encouraged to
dc their WI doctoring more and
more. It is cheaper and quite as Ger
tain.
Before Detective Curtin, of Buffalo,
caught Tom Ballard he covered" him
with his revolver. Tom saw the point
and tupbled
Joe G0ss was covered" a few weeks
ago and he tumbled, and so did Dan
Mace. Death fetched 'em" with that
dreadful weapon-kidney disease. But
they should have been lively and drawn
first. They could easily have disarmed
the moaster had they covered him with
thst dead shot Warmers safe cure,
which, drawn promptly, always takes
rhe prey. Ii is doubtless true that
sporting men dread this enemy more
than any mjshap of their profession, and
presumably this explains why they as a
rule are SO partial to hat celebrated
dead shot,"
Redmond was right. No man should
surrender when attacked in the back.
He should draw" face about and pro-
coed to the defense, for such attacks, so
common among all classes. will fetch a
man every time unless covered" by
that wonderfully successful dead shot"

A Tennessee man nnds that there
are 300, 600 worthless dogs in that
state, which consume food enough, if
fed to hogs, to make 80, 600, 600 pounds
OF bacon, which would pe equal ta
feeding meat to 100, GOO able bodied
men a whole year. AT ten cents per
pound the beacon would be worth 49,,
600, 600, and if in silver would load
down ninety four c@o-horse wagons
and make a wagon train more than
half a mile long. Again, the worth
less ours prevent farmers from keep
ing 1000, 600 sheep, the mutton and
wool from which would be worth S., :
600, 600. Including the sheep annually
killed, the whole expense of keeping
the dogs Of tbs state amounts to the
pretty sum Of 5000. 600.

ASSESSED VALUATION FOR 1885.

County assessor Samuel Snyder ar
rived in Maiden, Monday, on his
first annual assessment trip. Up to
date he has completed the Missouri
valley, excepting one precinct, Mussel-
shell country to Lavina and interme-
date country between there and here.
From Maiden he takes in the Judith
Basin, Barker and northern portion of
the county, completing his rounds.

vented completing the Musselshell,
necessitating second trip.
He estimates the assessable property
will reach the gratifying aggregate OF
SO, 200, 900, an increase over last year
of SI,2oo, 900.
The salary bill that passed the 18th
legislative assembly, taking, as it did,
immediate effect on assessors, 1t would
seem to incline these officials to make a
rather slack canvass Of their respec
tive counties. Not so with Mr.. Sny-
der, however, it being his declared in
tention to see and properly assess
every taxpayer in the county if it
costs him twice his salary, ST., and
thus perform the duty devOlving upon
him in as thorough a manner as is re-
quired by the statutes.
When the canvass is completed,
striving to do justice by the county
with little thought Of personal gain,
we believe he will find himself with
less than laborers' wages as his. 1t is
presumptuous in. the extreme for tax
payers to expect an assessor to
devote his time and cover county
of the dimentions of Meagher for
laborers' wages and perform the ardu-
Gus duties pertaining to the Office in
a thorough and businesslike manner
If a salary is preferable to a per
Centage let it be such as to guarantee
a living to the officer and his family.
Mr.. Snyder is performing his duty to
the letter, and we venture to say will
not have hundred dollars over ex-
penses for his work when completed.
