Ben Pressett, while driving across the
Rio Grande track, in Utah, on Sunday, was
struck by a train and killed.
Stephen Hansdorf has lost his wife, who
arrived in San Francisco on the Sth of May,
and does not know where she is.
There was no surprise in Chicago sport
ing circles over the defeat of Glover by
McAulitfe. The former is not considered
there anything extra of fighter.
The story now is that the shooting in
Chico on Sunday night was the result of a

sensation. He denies it, however.
Parties who have purchased dry land
from the State of Oregon under the Swamp
Land Act are suing settlers in the United
States Court to eject them from the land.
The rate paid for surveying by the
National Government is so small that
nobody will do work in Oregon for it, and
much land that settlers would gladly take
lies unsuryeyed.
Washington Territory has elected six
delegates to the Chicago Convention,
though entitled to but two, and there is in
harmony over the question which of them
are entitled to sit.
Paul Grattkan, the Anarchist agitator.
has been released from the House of Cor

weeks of his sentence of one years i'm

Van Sutliffe. a farmer living near Chico,
became violently insane, and imagined that
his neighbors were trying to get his pro-
perty. He loaded Winchester rife, went
out in the road and fire at every passer-by,
but fortunately no one was hurt. He shot
ten times, when he was finally overpowered
and taken to his home.

Bless the Farmer Boy.

N character often written about in fish
ing stories is the barefooted, tanned and
freckled farmers boy; that very chap saw
coming toward me as was peering through
the bushes to find place where l could
put my flies. His twinkling eyes seemed
to be comparing my trim lance-wood rod
with his birch pole, and the silk water
proof line with the cotton cord that the
wind was whipping in the air. He watched
lne as l cast in the rifles, and chuckled as
he saw my line come back empty so-often.
He thought to himself, 81 can beat that"
and he did Going back to the edge Of
the slashing he th,ew in his line; it hardly
LOCKER, will yep?" and nice trout / saw
dangling at the end of his cord. Not only
one, but four times did he do it, and that,
too, IN the very waters l had so carefully
Gshed.
Bless the farmer boy Under his
slouched hat is ten times more wood lore
than many of us possess. He can tell you
as the warm spring days come when the
pheasant is bailding her nest; how many
eggs the quail had yesterday down In the
tangled weeds in the old pasture lot !; he
cannot tell you the name, but he knows
that browa bird with spotted breast sitting
yonder. In the deep shadows of the woods
it sings sweet song that softly echoes
among the great trees like the tinkling OF
silver bells, while he sits on the moscow
cred rock and listens until the shadows
turn 90 darkness; down the old log road
he hastens home to dream of the dark
woods and green meadows, Of the foaming
waters that rush by the great rocks, Of tht
deep, quiet pool, barred over with tn;
shadows of the alders and where the troa
hide away. Bless the farmer boy.-Fosss

One OF Those Little Affairs That Do Not
Disturb Society.
SUMMIT (Miss.), May 22d.-A shooting
affair occurred near this city Saturday
night, in which four men were wounded
one fatally. Mrs. Kennedy (white) visited
the home of Alexander James (colored)
for the purpose of collecting a bill from
James wife. A dispute arose, when Mrs.
Kennedy struck the James woman with a
stick. The latter retaliatsd and handled
Mrs. Kennedy roughly. Mr.. Kennedy,
upon being informed of the affair, in com
pany with others, applied to EIlzey, Justice
OF the Peace. for warrant for the arrest of
the woman, but they being greatly infuri-
ated and excited, it was thought best by
the Justice not to issue the warrant.
They then went to the James house at
night and, not finding his wife, they took
James, tied him up and began whipping
him to force him to tell where his wife was.
While they were whipping the negro they
were fired upon by some unknown persons
who were lying concealed in the woods
Amos Kennedy was fatally wounded and
Wright, Pounds and Lee Hinson badly.
The negro was also wounded in the hand.
The assailants have not been apprehended.

WASHINGTON, May 22d.-In addition to
the amendment increasing the appropria-
ton for Oakland harbor $3.50 ,000 in the
river and harbor bill, the Senate Commerce
Committee has reduced the appropriation
for Wilmington harbor from 500, 800 to
$62, 500.
Stanford's plea for an increase of appro-
priation at San Diego was unavailing. An
item is inserted giving S., 200 for Tillamook
bay and bar, in Oregon. The appropriation
for the improvement of the San Joaquin
river is reduced from $25, 900 to $40 00o.
For continuing the work ON the canal at
the Cascades, Or, the appropriation is in
creased from $1O0, 900 to $300,O0O. For i'm
proving the mouth of the Columbia, from
$3.50 900 to $500,000. For improving the
Lower Willamette and Columbia rivers in
front of and below Portland, Or, (continu-
ing the improvement, the sum is increased
from 10000 to $S1 900. of which 81 900, or
so much thereof as may be necessary, may
be expended in dredging the bar at
Skamoka, W. T., on the Columbia river.

1t is pretty generally known that the
largest cherry tree in the State stands In
the orchard of Robert Hector, near the
town of Newcastle. The yield of this i'm
mense tree increases from year to year, and
notwithstanding the short crop of cherries
the present season, Mr.. Hector assures us
that this old father of the orchard will
yield over 500 pounds more fruit this year
than it did last. He says he will gather
from this single tree over 5000 poands of
cherries this year, which will fill more
than 800 10-pound boxes. The cherries
from this tree are of the Oxheart variety
and are very line.-Ne1rcastLe Nens.

BOGUS BIDS.

the stock market. The firm whose name
was used informed the department to-day
that they did not make the offer, and did
