seldom been the privilege Of our people to
listen to such a performer as Mr.. Denck. Mr..

The Colt Show.

We would call the attention Of the farmers
to theimportance of having their colts halter
wise. II you can lead them about and ham
die them you can show them to much better
advantage, as we'll as with much less trouble.
Every farmer who has a colt should bring 1t
TO the show on saleday in Septem Der. Do
not leave your colt at home because you think
some one else has one which looks pre- ttier or
larger to its age than yours; the judge may
not think so. and even If you should receive
nothing, It Is worth something to compare
with your neighbor and see where yDu have
failed. Messrs. A. NJ. Hill d. Sons have given
the use of their stable and yards for the use
Of the exhibitors for which they deserve the
thanks Of all raisers OF stock. We w,Iuld sug-
gest that those interested IN raising stock or
ganize o County Fair, with capital Of S3.0CJ
or 81 900 to be sold in shares OF $50 or Sl0s.

Shot While Walking Log Across a
~. Creek

John Edwards, colored, was sent TO jail last
Tuesday for shooting Jim Watson, also color
ed. 1t seems that John Edwards had been
cursing Jim Watson's grandmother and Jim
took him TO task for it and in the quarrel hit
John over the head with a stick. John then
went home, got his shot gun and came back
to where Jim would have to cross Hard Labor
and as Jim was walking the foot log shot him
in the right side, knocking him into the
creek where he would most probably have
been drowned, but for the assistance OF some
other negroes who were with him. Jim's
wound is not considered at all dangerous and
at last reports was improving very rapidly,
while John now Ianguishes in jail, to await
the October term Of Court.

not very pretty and not at all valuable.

A Mountain Lion Killed by Two
 Brave Boys.

Eddie and James Chappeli, aged eleven and thirteen years respectively, though tender in years, distinguished themselves few days ago, by killing a mountain lion weighing l0l pounds. The youngsters, sons of our estimabge friend, R. D. Chap pell, of Antelope Valley, were awakened from their slumbers at 2 o'clock Tn the morning by the baying of their father s pack of fox hounds. HurrieGly dressing and armiug themselves with guns loaded with birdshot they hurried in the direction oi the uproar expecting to dhd that the dogs had treed wildcat, but discovered to their astonishment nothing less formidable than a mountain lion glaring at them from the branches. Nothing daunted the little fellows fired several shots at the ferocious brute, finally succeeding iI causing it to break it's hold and fall among the dogs who immediately attacked him from all sides. The animal made several attempts to reach the boys. but each time was pre- vented by the hounds biting him from the rear, which caused him to sit up on his hindquarters to fight them of with teeth and claws. At length one of the youthful nimrods advanced to within 8 few feet of the lion and fired another charge point blank at the creature's head which tumbled him over. Instantly the other boy seized stout willow pole, and by pressing the lions head to the earth succeeded ir strang- ling hiu. The little fellows are deservedly proud at the result of their first battle with a mountain lion.

Dam the cila.

The people of this valley have in contemplation the building of a dam across the narrow rocky passage of the Gila river at the Buttes, fifteen miles abovo FIorenct. This will create a gigantic reservoir, so vast in its pro- portions that the ill-fated one above J Johnstown would be utterly lost if
 placed in its great area. The reser- voir, in the words of the Enterprisc, will contain the entire drainage of a country 2J0 miles square-from the
 White mountains o1 the north to the Sierras of Sonora, and from the cast ern New Mexico to the Buttes above
 Florence concentrated into Q mar row gorge through the solid rocks across which boy can throw stone. This narrow outlet is the point de- signed for a dam. The basin of the reservoir will be ten miles in length and two in width, and will contain over 54,ooo,o0o,oOo feet of water. The cost of building this da,n will not be S25O,OOO, and can be completed within years time. The large dam at San Mateo, California, on the same as this one,- when finished will have occupied four years in con- struction, at an expenditure of $l2,- 100000. and will be neither as large nor as safe as the Gila river reservoir, which will be the largest, probably, in the rld.-Forencs Moral cod Scientifc Companioa.
