Nj IA. H. K. Sowen created quite
sensation Monday by riding into town on
top of a bale of cotton, and when it be-
came known that it was grown on his.
Lone Wolf farm the wagon was sur
rounded by a curious crowd. The bale
weighed $50 pounds, was raised on two
acres of valley land and was classed as
middling by old cotton men. Mr.. Sowell
says he has never had dOubtthat cotton
could be grown probably here, and his
trial this year proves the fact. The
yield OF bale to two acres is better than
most of the eastern counties have done
this season Il Colorado Clipper.

A wild Man.

We learn from ''Old Haynes" who has
just returned from Pinenut, that great ex-
element exists among the wood choppers Of
that vicinity, owing to the discovery Of
wild man in Illinois Canyon.
Illineis Canyon is branch Of Eldorado
Canyon and in the early days quite little

Gated at its head, called Illinois City. The
mines having "petered out, and the wood
being hauled away Illinois City was forget

"Frenchy" who were prospecting in the vi.
cinity, concluded to pay the place a visit.
After prospecting until they were tired,
Bob and "Frenchy" started to return, but
just as they were crossing the canysn sight
met their gaze that nearly paralyzed themr
Not a hundred yards away digging at the root
Of an old pine stump, was an object SO fe.
rocious in aspect and SO frightful in appear
ance that Bob Daniels, although seventy two
years of age, gave yell Of terror and Hed

"Frenchy's" rheumatic joints held him
firmly TO the spst, however, and although
nearly scared to death he claims to remem.

or whatever it is, which he describes to be q

dressed in dark clothes, worn te shreds, with
a very narrow brimmed hat or skull cap on
his head. "Frenchy" says that the noise
made BY old Bob in going dewn the canyon
frightened the wild man and he ran into one
Of the old abandoned tunnels Of which there
are quite number in that vicinity.
A party Of wood choppers left Pinenut
last Saturday to investigate the matter, and
if possible capture the wild man. We shall
probably have further advises by Our next

Summerville,s side.

Some weeks ago Henry Summerville, was
taken from Esmeralda county to the Asylum
in Reno. He remained there for several
weeks and has been discharged. At the
time he was committed there were many
newspapers items going the rounds about his
wildness and murdereus attempts. Mr.. Sum-
merville is now in tswn and he appear 10 be
in his right mind more than many sane men
we have met. He declares that he was new.
er insane in his life, and that his being plac.
ed in the Asylum was an outrage perpetrated
by his enemies who are anxious to obtain
some valuable mining property he owns IN
Nye county near Downeyville. He claims
that in Downeyville he was drugged and
handcuffed, and knocked around like brute
and that his treatme mt was no better while
he was being taken to Hawthorne by the
Sheriff Of Esmeralda county. He intimates
that there are number Of persons implicit.
ed in plot to get away with his property,
that his mail was tempered with in Luning,
and that in Downeyville attempts were even
made against his life. He speaks very high.
ly OF the treatment he received at the Asylum
and very lowly Of the treatment he received
at the hands Of those who were implicated
in his arrest, especially the Sheriff Of Es-
meralda county. II his statements are true.
and We do not see what object he would have
in pevaricating, We think the people in the
southern country should interest themselves
enough to see that he has justice doae him.

The editor Of the LYON COUNTY TIMES
recently denounced the butter sold in his
town as being unfit to eat, and stated that
even CANNES would disgorge their rations in

has received ton or so OF butter from the
ranchers whose product he maligned. His
enemies state that it was q shrew6 dodge on
his part to secure a supply Of the great nee.

VOLCANO on GEYSERss
Smiths Valley Agitsted by Volcanic
or Geyser Rumblings.


Fer the past two or three weeks, the
country about Kinds Hot Springs, in
Smiths Valley, has been distur bed greatly
BY strange rumblings in the bowels Of the
earth, and the people in that section have
been looking daily for volcsnic eruption or
to have the country devastated with boiling
hot water from the sudden breaking out Of
hot springs. The rambling noise 10 heard
two or three times about every second or
third day, and it has been growing heavier
for the past week, until it has bee ono such
serious matter that Mr.. Kinds and his
family have left their home at the Springs
and moved ever the range int the Valley.
At FIRST little attention was paid to the
shocks, but when they became so strsng as
| to roll immense boulders down from the
high peaks, and it was found that the shocks
were not felt generally throughout the
State, but only in that community, the peo-
pie began to become alarmed. When one OF
these shocks comes it gives the earth a pc
l SuhAt hVituk uutVb uOk uAC ACS
and it lasts for Sc veral minutes, and the
noise becomes SO loud that persons look
around expecting momentarily TO see the tor
of some mount ain peak ,epple over and FIRE
and smoke shoot int the air.
l, is hardly probable, however, that this
rumbling Of the earth is caused by any vol.
| capic art;on II ;e vell Lno,vn that thar
are geysers in that vacini.y, and in all prsb.
ability it is the underground currents Of no,
water seeking an outlet. or their channels
being blocked up that causes the cemme-
ton. So IA, the flow Of the Hst Springs
owned by Mr.. Kinds has been very little
changed. although the flow is slightly in.
creased whenever the shake is very heavy,
and again dimin,shes to its regular flow.
