chill stream, 100 men and 80 oxen. This firm
manufacture their lumber at Bowdoinham.
E. Totman & Co. will operate on No. 8, Dead
river this winter. and put in about the same cut
of timber as last year, about 1000, 900 feet.
w. b. Snow & Co., Skowhegan, will cut about
6OO,O 600 poplar on Bow town for the Somerset Fl
bre Company of this place. The experiment Of
cutting timber where forest fires have run will
not be likely to be repeated by Fairfield lumber
men, Those who cut timber on burnt tracks
last winter find the worms have damaged the
lumber, making it very unstable, and the logs
alton of the mill burner has been completed and
this winter the burner, which will be built most

Accidental shot.

This morning a party consisting oi the James boys and William Mulli. gan, started from Flagstaff for ;he
 James ranch, in wagon, all three sitting on one scat. When about five
 miles out, James James revolver fell from its leather scabboard belted ar ound him, and one chamber dischar. ged. Mulligan was sitting in the mid de, and the boys, thinking they were hred upon, were looking around for their arms, when James James, reach ing for his revolver, exclaimed, "my gun is gone" Mulligan rose up and said, "boys, I'm shot!" Just then the revolver was discovered on the bottom of the wagon box, the blanket on which they were sitting was burn ed, and the occurranee was explained. The revolver, in falling, had ac- cidentally discharged and Mulligan was hurt. The party turned the team toward Flagstaff, the wounded man bleeding and in pain. On arriving here Mulligan was taken to the Flag staff Hotel, where Dr. Brannen was calle d in. The ball had entered the left thigh, glancing upwards, pene- trating the bone, but at this writing Its present whereabouts is not known. The wound was probed about three inches without finding it. The extent ot the injury is not positively known at this time. Mulligan is about 24 years of age, native of Brooklyn, N. Y., and has been in the employ of the James boys,

CoRREsPoNDENCE.
Ash Fork Flickerlngs.

Friday evening the nth, was cele' brated by an attempt to destroy by fire the large forwarding and com mission house of A. C. Trask, but the fire, which was started by the aid o old clothing and coal oil, was timely discovered and extinguished. Who ever the incendiaries are they should remember thar they were attempting the destruction of the whole toYn, and if prejudice and malace agains, Mir. Trask were their only motives they should seek some other source for revenge and not jeopardise the property of non combatants just to satisfy a diabolical personal whim. MT. Trask has offered one hundred dollar draft for the identity of the party or parties who crammed the old shirt between his buildings, and if caught, he will endeavor to make it as warm for them as they undoubt- edly intended to do for him.

 Chicken cholera is at present rag ing quite seriously in Flagstaff and vi cinity, making some of the poultry yards look slim. Mir. Sam Black, our next door neighbor, has lost upwards of fifty this week from the disease. Who can suggest cure? We would be glad to publish views on the sub, ject.

 We had a call this week from Judge John A. Rush, of Prescott, who, in company with his wife and daughter, stopped off at Flagstaff, on their re- turn trip from New Mexico and St. Johns.

 Our friend, "Cousin Jack" has net maintained his wonted buoyancy during the past few weeks; in fact, at times, his actions have been most strange and amusing He has been known to take long and lonely walks up the railroad track, and on one occasion no. long since, at mid night and very dark, we believe, he procured span of frey animals and dashed out 0; town in so strange and a manner that he was thought to be laboring under some painful dream which had resulted in a fit of somnambulistic nature. 4 trip to California has been suggested by one of his many friends.
