Recently an Ulster county, New York
farmer cut an acre or two Of trees on an
elevated portion of his farm with the
following result: my nrst loss was
the driving up of a beautiful brook which
had it's source in my grove, and which
ran through number of fields, furnish
ing water for cattle while grazing.
Five times the value of the wood I sold
would have been refused for this
stream. In the vicinity of the place
where the timber stood the ground be-
came dry during the summer. When
rain fell it did not seem to be absorbed;
the water ran down the. hillsides,
making great gullies and doing much
damage, while the fields through which
the brook flowed did not yield as good
crops" The fairies and banshee were
there sure.

a Series of Street-Car Accidents in San
Francisco Yesterday.

SAN Francisco, April 23d.-There was a
series of street-car accidents this morning,
and one of the victims was killed out
right. Two others were badly bruised and
manned, and 1t is not improbable that one
of them will be crippled for life. The &C.
cident which resulted in the death of an
elderly lady. whose name is supposed to be
Mrs. Bridget Needham, was due to her own
Market street cable system near Fifth
street, and took seat on the side of the
dummy. The car was going towards the
ferry landing, and running parallel with
1t was a Folsom-street car. When the
cable car was opposite Powell street the
unfortunate woman, without signaling the
gripman or visiting for the car to stop,
sprang from her seat. The other car was
al the time but few feet distant, and the
poor woman had scarcely touched the
ground when the horses struck her and
knocked her down.
The horses were travelling along at a
lively jog, and the driver was unable to
stop the car in time to prevent an accident.
The next instant one of the front wheels
passed over the victims neck and almost
severed the head from the body. The car
came to standstill before the hind wheel
struck her. but il was then TOO late. The
horrited spectators who were on the side
walk at once ran TO the woman's assistance,
but before they reached her life was ex-
tinct. The body was taken from beneath
the car and carried to the sidewalk, where
it lay until the Coroner's deputies arrived
and took it to the Morgue All the arteries
and veins in the neck were severed. and the

blood flowed out over the sidewalk and
along the gutterway.
A crowd of thousand people gathered
around the spot in few minutes, and an
old plaid shawl worn by the poor woman
was thrown over her body to hide the
CHASTITY sight from their curious gaze.
Robert Brown, Is years of age, residing
at 795 Stevenson street, had his right foot
broken this morning by being thrown
from Valencia-street car at the corner of
Market and Fifth. The lad was sitting on
the end portion of the dummy, with his
feet hanging down, the car gave lurch
and Brown was thrown cut His foot
caught in the wheel of the dummy and the
weight of his body falling broke the foot.
The sole of his shoe was also wrenched off.
Dr. Harris, who was sitting on the car at
the time, and officer Morton removed the
boy to the officers home. close at hand.
Brown received several bruises about the
body.
The third car accident for the day was
reported about noon. Lum Chung was
knocked down by car of the Powell
street Railroad running on Clay street, at
the corner of Dupont and Clay, and was
badly bruised about the right arm and leg.

Young Lady With Nerve-Troublc al
the Land Office.

SEATTLE, April 23d.-A scene that resem-
bles the rush to secure lands in Oklahoma
was enacted at the Land Office in this city
last night and this morning. The Land
Office authorities had announced that two
townships of valuable timber land in
Skagitt county would be thrown open to
entry, and when the Office closed last night
big crowd was in attendance. 1t became
so disorderly that it was driven away by
the police By daylight the crowd of filers
were again on hand and 200 claimants were
on hand by the time the Office opened, and
together with the witnesses made an I'M
mense throng. The police were on hand,
and only by great exertion succeeded in
keeping the turbulent crowd in order. The
first TO file was young and pretty lady
Mrs. Agnes Lorseney-a cashier in a restau-
rant in this city. She took a chair and
calmly walked to the head of the line near
the doors and kept that position until the
door opened. In all over 100 timber claims
were filed, also many homsteads and two
prescriptions. In the existing confusion it
cannot be told how many claims have been
filed. In some instances three or four
men filed on one claim. 1t is expected
| there will be trouble on the lands for their
possession, and bloodshed is anticipated
| where there are several entries on one
claim.

bold attempt at bank robbery was made by
a man named Mccarthy, who was recently
discharged from the County Hospital. He
entered Collins & Sons bank while Cashier
Collins had gone to lunch, leaving Jack
Morrison alone.
Mccarthy entered and complained of his
poverty and desperation, which had drawn
him to think of suicide. He laid pack
age on the counter which he said was dyn.
amite, and then drew a six-shooter and de.
manded $4,000.
Morrison did not wait for an explosion
nor hand over the money, but lodged be-
hind the high counter and ran out of the
back door. The robber seized the tray con.
tanning about $4,000 and walked into the
street Morrison had gwen the alarm, and
people gathered on the street, but no one
was armed.

200 feet from the bank, and was making
for that. Sheriff Reilly happened to DC
nesr, but was unarmed.
He stepped into hardware store, seized

A GAY LOTHARIO.
An Excuse that Would Not Satisfy al
Enraged Husband.

Los ANGELES, April 23d.-Captain Geo
Koughan commands the steamer Lillian al
San Pedro, and is often away from home
Monday evening the Lillian unexpectedly
steamed into port and the Captain went t.
his home. He entered quietly, so as not &c
alarm his wife, who was not expecting him
and found that lady in company with a
neighbor, Gus Brannan by name.
The latter tried to explain to the irate
husband that as he was passing the house
his coat was accidentally torn, and he had
just stopped to get Mrs. Koughan to sew ii
up, which accounted for his disrobed
condition. The Captain, however, nearly
dubbed the life out of Brannan, leaving
him for dead in the street. and Mrs. kou-
CHAN ran for help.
When she returned everything was quiet
but hearing queer noises in the kitchen
she entered, and was Mortified to find her
husbands body hanging from rafter
With great presence of mind she seized g
knife and cut him down and called doc
tor, who after some time succeeded in re-
suscitating the deceived husband. He now
declares he will kill Brannan on sight.

from his late residence. The funeral was
