SEVEN PERSONS BURNED.
4 Child Roasted to Death in Its Mothers
Others VIII Die.

A dispatch from Medical Springs, Mo,
says: Seven people were terribly
burned, one child fatally. in a most re.
culiar accident last Sunday afternoon
From one Of he wells which have been
bored near the spring for the purpose of
reaching a better supply Of water, there
is a constant TOW of natural gas The
proprietor has piped this gas and uses it
tor the purpose of making a display
to attract attention to the spring.
From the well proper there extends
vertical pipe and TO this
is connected horizontal pipe
for distance of about twenty feet where
it is bent at right angles with the arm,
extending about ten feet in the air From
thee pipes flame burns to the height of
about ten feet On Sunday afternoons
the place is generally crowded with peo-
pie who come from the surrounding
country TO drink tho water and have a
merry making. Sunday afternoon when
the crowd was largest, a party of roughs
got into n fight and during the melee,
the stand pipe was thrown down,
bringing the perpendicular portion
down with a crash The gas flame
was thrown directly upon a party of
women and children, burning several Of
them in terrible manner. Mrs Henry
Willoughby was standing directly in front
OF the jet with her year-old baby in her
arms when the fame struck the child in
the face, literally roasting IT, Mrs Will
oughby was also fearfully burned aud Is
not expected 20 recover. The child dted
almost instantly Two other ladies' and
three children were burned about the face,
but none of them fatally.

1t is not long since | predicted the
time would arrive when sheep would
shear 20 pounds and the carcass
weigh 200, and now comes a paper
read before a farmers institute in
Wisconsin by a sheep-breetler who
started twenty years ago with four
ewes that "sheared less than 2 pounds
each, with weight of carcass CORES
pondingly heavy" lie bred fora pur-
pose, and that was for weight OF ear
cass and ga long, fine woolIy wool and
a bulky, tleecy fleece instead of a
sOeey lump" and how well he has
succeeded may be known from the fact
that his male sheep now average 100
pounds, and shear an average OF 23I,
pounds. The females are much under
this, but who can doubt that in time
all will be brought up to the mark.
and perhaps beyond. Judicious and
persistent breeding for purpose will
accomplish wonders. Incidentally it
may be stated that this flock OF sheep
has increased in number from four to |
400, and that it "has built up out of |
sadly impoverished lands a farm of |
nearly 400 acres whose fertility and |
producing powers are second to not |
many. '-Gallen Wilson, in New York

THE NEW LAW.
An Act Which Gives Settlers on Public Lands
Great Advantages.

The omnibus land bill that became
a law on the 9TH of March. gives any
person who has made one homestead
entry the right to make another one,
or second entry, il he has not per-
fected title 10 a tract OF land under
the first entry. a great many per
sons who have heretofore exhausted
their homestead rights can come in
under this new law and make second
entries. This law also gives the reg
ister and receiver the power to grant
a leave OF absence. not exceeding one
year at any one time. to any settler
who is unable, by reason of a total
or partial destruction or failure OF
crops, sickness, or other unavoidable
casualty. to secure support for him
self, herself, or those dependent upon
him or her. This absence shall forfeit
no rights. and it cannot be deducted
from the actual residence required by
law.
Again, this act gives homesteader
who has made final proof upon less
than 100 acres the right to enter an
additional tract OF 40. so or I2O
acres, as the case may be. The strict
construction that final proof must
he made on the day advertised is
modified by this law, and proofs here
after can be made within ten DAYS
following the day advertised if the |
claimant or his witnesses have been |
prevented by accident or unavoidable |
delays from making proof on the day |
advertised. Section of this law
seems to reduce all double minimum
or $3.50 lands to Sl.25 per acre.
The section is not very plain, but it
certainly reads that the price OF ..aIl
lands within the limits OF any such
railroad grant is hereby fixed at Sl.25
per acre" This will he a great boon
to the settlers within land grant limits
OF the Northern Pacific railroad i'm
Dakota. The leave of absence pro-
vision is also another great boon. In
TACT it is an act OF Blooms. After
little, with a liberal and common
sense administration OF the general
and Office. including the district
offices, the settler will have some ..
lights that red tape is bound to ,,
Press.

THE DARING FEAT OF A GIRL.
She Boldly Rides an Enraged Steer Around
the County.

Near Forest Ranch, in the mountain,
above Chico resides young lady who
for grit and pluck we'll take off on,
hat to every time. The lady in ques
ton, Miss Kate Lucas. resides on a
mountain ranch with her mother and
brothers, the latter being engaged in
furnishing the meat used by the large
lumber crews high up in the Sierras.
Miss Lucas is a tall, 1.-the and we'll
built girl, with red. rosy cheeks. let
black hair, bright, flashing eyes, and
is the acknowledged belle OF that To-
cality.
She is an intrepid horsewoman and
rides fearlessly and alone over the
mountain slopes and through the ra-
vines. She scOrns a saddle, and at
times rides a fiery mustang without
either bride or blanket. simply using
a lariat, the end tied round her horses
head and neck. She is a capital shot
with rifle, and has worsted many OF
the crack shots there by her unerring
aim. She has been out with her broth
ers hunting and very rarely failed to
plug a deer or other wild animals which
so abound in that section. Sometimes
the young miss assists in capturingt the
wild cattle when they are required for
the market. and the lariat is twisted
with precision that often puts the
vaquerOs to shame.
\ few weeks 400 aft a IL a pino ,.i.la
after a particularly wild and fleet
looted steer, which showed fight from
the start, the young lady laughed at
the vaquerO, who seemed afraid of the
animal. and smilngly challenged him
to throw rope over the animals head |
and ride him. The vaquerO declined
with thanks. Miss Lucas then dis |
played piece of courage and daring
worthy of the ancient Roman arena.

quickly and deity tied rope around
his head and neck, then told the
vaquerO to let him loose.
This he did reluctantly, and the en-
ragged steer was quickly on his feet, but
as quick the fearless lass was
on his back. Then commenced a ride
that is rarely witnessed. For half an
hour the wild chase and ride were con-
hill and dale, through
brush and canyOn-when the steer
gave completely out and tine triumph
ant girl led her captive to the house.
II was bold feat, and tine daring rider
has made herself famous in that Sec
ion OF the county.-ChicO Gal En-
