MAKING SMALL RANcHEs,-The Colusa
SIN says that y. D. Rideout, of this city, is
having his large tract of land near Norman
surveyed and divided into 1G0-acre farms,
and will offer it for sale in small parcels
This action is worthy of imitation by
other large land owners. 1t is his intention
we believe, to have an auction sale some
| time in November. We were over this land
| the first part of the week, and found much
more tirst-class land than we had heretofore
| thought to be on the tract. The great bulk
of it is better than that at the station,
where Mr. Abbott has very fine young
vineyard and orchard. There are but few
places in the State that can show better
! growth of vine for the first year Mr.
| RideOut is man OF large public spirit, as
well as private enterprise. All this land
can be watered by the proposed canal from
the river

FINE TEAM PoIsoNED.-The handsome
span Of nicely-matched gray horses which
have been used by W. J. Kavanaugh on
his hearse, died mysteriously. but pre-
sumably from the effects of poison, night
| before last. 1t has been ascertained that
| there were some bottles containing poison
at the undertaking establishment and that
| Mr.. kavanaugh's little boy was observed
| on Tuesday afternoon to be PLAYING with a
! bottle, filling it with water from a bucket
and emptying the contents back, PLAYING
soda man, cleaning bottles he explained
TO his mother. 1t is quite probable that he
got hold of bottle containing poison. that
the latter was emptied into the bucket and
