1. TRUckEE, Cal, Aug. l2.-A man named Pagan was taken to the pas senger train last night covered with tar and feathers. Five men were noti- fled to leave last night and all except Pagan obeyed. He boasted that he could not be run out of town and em- phasized his remarks by drawing a pistol on one man and beating his paramour cruelty, and chasing her with a drawn pistol He was arrested and lodged in jail and last night the locks were broken of the door by one hundred masked men. Pagan was taken out and tarred and feathered. The committee went to his room, got his trunk and vslise, checked them to Sacramento and gave him ticket to the State capital, and guarded the train until it left. Pagan is said to have served two terms in the state prison. It is reported that had the vigilants had proof that he was a convict they would have hung him. At one time they had rope around his neck and over limb and nearly half of the committe strongly urged his hanging.

As A RESULT of the investigation of the committee appointed by the citi- gems of Yuma, site for dam has been discovered that would make a lake of water covering AS square miles and averaging 40 feet in depth, which would furnish a daily supply of 151.- 835 miners' inches of water, sufficient to irrigate from 5O0,OO0 to 75O,OOO acres of land. A vigorous effort will be made :o induce the Senatorial com mittee to favorably consider the prop osition to build the proposed dam. The successful carrying out of this enter prise would undoubtedly make Yuma one of the wealthiest counties in the Territory.

A doctor prescribing for baby was sadly
ve1ed by the officiousness of the child's femi.
nine relatives, who tried all sorts of home
remedies for it, saying in apology:
I'VE thought II they did no good they
would do no harm, doctor"
At the end of his patience the doctor one
morning called for a bowl, spoon and some
fresh butter, and began stirring the latter
round and round with an air of grave impor-
tance. The ladies gathered about him inquis-
itively, but he gave them no attention until,
at last, curiosity becoming rampant, they
cried in chorus:
"Oh, doctor, do tell us what you are going
to do with the butterr'

BOIEs ON PROHIBITION.
Iowa's Next Governor ON the states
Most Obnoxious Lawfully IL Has
been u Failure.

Iowa's Next Governor on the states
Most Obnoxious Lawfully it Has
Been u Failure.
The fact that Hon. Horace Boies. OF
Waterloo. Iowa, democratic candidate
for governor of the Hawkeye state was to
speak at the Turner Grand opera house
last night. attracted large audience
made up in part from this side of the
river. Hon. Nathaniel French, for years
q prominent republican and elected to the
circuit judgeship by that party. and who
has been driven from the ranks Of the g.
o. p. by its attitude on the tariff and liquor
question, presided and introduced the
speaker of the evening. Mr.. Boies re-
minds one very much OF ex- Governor
Dick Oglesby. Of Illinois. He presents
much the same appearance, but is more
quiet and convincing in his address. Last
night he devoted himself chiefly to the
prohibition issue. Under the protection
OF the republican party. breweries to the
value of 81, 900, 900 had been built up.
They were as legal as any business until
the republican party at stroke de-
stroyed them without compensation. 1t
wiped out OF existence property that had
been built up in good faith. AS well
might fre-brand have been applied to
buildings so used.
In theory, Mr.. Boies said. the pros
hibitory law had been in force five years;
but at the last convention of the repub-
licsn party it was still calling for en-
forcement. 1t was an unjust and tyrrsn-
Gus law and for that reason men had not
and would not bow to it except by brute
force. The only means left to enforce
the law would be to establish a state
constabulary, and this the speaker pre-
dicted would he done within year if a
republican governor is elected. The
power Of electing local officers. to this
extent would be taken away and self,
government destroyed.
Mr.. Boies showed how the prohibltory
law had checked immigration to the
state. and increased emigration from it.
He told how this change had deprecated
the value of property; how it had made
the morals of the community worse.
Where the open saloon had been driven
out the secret drinking place had come
in greater numbers. Men had become
spies for money and falsifers of neces-
sity. The quality of liquor had been
made worse than ever and the quantity
in no way reduced. In the place of the
hole-in the-wsll he would have the open
saloon regulated by all proper restric-
tons; he would have an inspector and
every safeguard possible. The law, where
IL had been enforced. had driven manu-
fscturers out of the state while the bust
ness they formerly did is now done by
houses in surrounding states. Iowa

At Q o'clock this morning Marshal
Miller and W. P. Tindall arrived from

Lou Sardine, who was captured at Mad

this morning came the stolen horse and

Marshal Miller aud Mr. Tindall met in

the west as the marshal did from Rock

he saw the horse. A fat, plump. risky
steed had been transformed into lank
animal with scarcely enough animation
to lift its feet. MIR. Tindall couli scarce

evidences of cruelty to the horse that had

'she has done just what the ARG US said
she would-tried to paint the horse red.
See here, and he pointed out stripe Of
crimson running down over the horses
neck.

but closer examination revealed the fact
that the female thief had trimmed the
forelock of the horses name and tied it
with a red ribbon and it having become
wet the color had run aud stained the an
imal's neck.
1t was learned that the horse had been
driven across the state of Iowa rs far as
Des Moines at the rate of sixty miles a
day, passing through all the cities and
towns along the Rock Island road. and
the Saturday night following the day of
the stealing the woman reached the capi>
tai OF Iowa. The horse had not only
been driven numerically, but VAS fed
only what 1t could Craze al different stops
along the highway. The woman had
driven through Des Moines and Colfax
after the postsls sent out by the MARSHAL

that she was not apprehended. She had

Designating the Farm Houses

An exchange is again agitsting the
scheme to name all country rosos. as
streets are now named, and to number
the houses along these roads. The plan
is good one and should be adopted by
county boards. iAt present country roads
have no designation except as incide n tai
ly fall TO them, and it is often difficult
for strangers to find their way W thout
frequent inquiries. Name your ROADS and
let the name appear on each corner. It
will then be as easy to find any house in
the country as it now is in the city where
the streets and number are given.

at the enterprise which it is a gratifica-

insinuating that it proposes to get up a
