SMALL SREEP BELLS

I'D had lambs, and got the harness max
er to make some cheap straps. After
putting the bell on the strap clear up to
the tucEie end | then drove long carPeE
tacks through the rap i'll such,a manner
SO they would all point outward when the
strap was buckled on the lambs neck. |
have not lost lamb since-my neigh
bors have seen the wolf drive the sheep
up in q corner of the fence and hold
them there for hours, but he does not
fancy cutting the jugu!ar of lamb when
it has to be done by biting on sharp
tacks. OGe or two yearlipgs which had
no bells on have been bitten. The bell
and strap together, cost about II GEMS.
They will last for years. The bells are
also a pref sure guard against gen inc
sheep killing dog. The noise, he seems
to think, will betray him-lf other sheep
raisers are troubled az [ have been, per
haps my experience may be of help.

SHEEP AND WOLVES.
A Good Way TO Keep Wolves out OF Lambs

A Good WAY to Keep Wolves out OF Lambs
Seckwear.
Hon. l.. 5. COffiu, Fort Dodge, Iowa,
contributes the following valuable bit of
experience to the o j. Farmer: Strange
as it may seem, We are troubled more to
day with wolves than 80 years ago when
there were few settlers here. For II years
prior to 1870, made specially of wool
growing ping from 800 10 200 sheep,
and during all that time | am not aware
of losing a single sheep or lamh by wolves.
The dogs killed SO for me one night, and
at another time 30 For the last years
[ have kept d small flock say about 100
of mutton sheep, and the wolves have
been very destructive. Last year Ou5 of
so lambs the wolves took 40. They got in
their work day times in the sheep pas
lures. Thus far, We have bsen unable 10
either shoot, poison, or trap them. The
work is done, it is thought, by particular
VOLTA large grey fellow-and he Is often
seen. This spring he began ngain on
my lambs. He seldom does more than
just cut their throat always biting them

or trap h:m, 1 took another plan. l

Court to believe. She was acting from
motive"
Most people do" said the Judge, dryIy.
But it does not follow that the motive
was an improper one"
Then the learned gentleman continued
his crosS-eNaminatiOn, directing all the
ingenuity of his praCticed mind TO trying
To prove by Augusta's admissions, first,
that the testator was acting under the IN
due influence of herself; and, secondly,
that when the will WAS executed he was
non CompoS mcntiS. To this end he dwelt
at great length on every detail of the
events between the tattooing of the will
and the death of the testator on the fol-
lowing day, making as much as was pos
sible out of the fact that he died in a fit of
mania. But, do what he would, he could
not shake her evidence upon any material
point. and when, at last, he sat down,
James Short te;t that his case nau not re
ceived any serious blow.
Then. few more questions having been
asked IN croSs-eNamination by various 9th
er counsel, James rose to re-examine, and.
with the object of rebuttiuC the presump-
ton of the teStator'S mental unsounduesS.
made Augusta repeat all the details of the
confession that the late publisher had
trading. 1t WAS beautiful TO see the fury
and horror portrayed upon the counter
snces of the choleric Mr.. Addison and the
cadaverous Mr.. Roscos when they saw the
most cherished secrets of the customs Of
the trade, as practiced at Nelson's, thus
paraded in the open light of day, while 3
dozen swift-penciled reporters took every
detail down.
Then, at last, Augusta was told to stand
down, which she did thankfully enough.
and Mrs. Thomas, the wife of Captain
Thomas, was called. She proved the find
ing of Augusta on the island, and that she
= had seen the hat of one of the sailors, and
the rum-cask two-thirds empty, and also
produced the shell out of which the men
had drunk the rum (Which shell the Judge
recalled Augusta to identify. What was
most important, however, was that she
gave the most distinct evidence that she
had herself seen the late Mr. Meeson in
TERED, and identified the body as that of
the late publisher by picking out his pho
tograph from among bundle of a dozen
that were handed to her. Also she swo1e

Burned to Death,

WEST CHESTER, N. y, May 7.-The
dwelling house of Watson Bowers was
burned last night and five persons per
ished in the flames. The household con
sisted Of Watson Bowers, wife, mother
two children and servants. 1t is sup
posed lamp left burning in the hall ex.
ploded and started the fire. When Bow
ers was awakened by cracking flames the
fire had already gained great headway
Bowers gave the alarm and carried his
wife into the open air, both being severe
ly burned. While Bowers was rescuine
his wife he heard plainly the cries OF
agony from his mother and children
aged and 5, sleeping with their grand
mother, but he was unable to save them
and they perished, together with Kate
Dunn servant, and her sister Annie.

More Sidewalks.

Alderman J. c. Johnson, by the way, a
staunch republican, of the last city coun-
Gil and hy reelection now again repre-.
senting his ward in the municipal BODY
has been actively enga ged, under instruc-
tions from street commissioner Alex. Lux
in planking the sidewalks; and the very
solid, honest and durable manner in
which it has been done is characteristic
OF the gentleman himself as we'll as the
party to which he belongs.
We are pleased to notice that the good
work of -planking has been extend
ed from the Milwaukee house, on the
south side of Second avenue south to
Fifth street.
The shaky condition of the inch-board
walk from the Board Of Trade saloon
corner, west side First avenue south and
Second street, urgently demands the at
tention of the supervisor Several per-
sons have already been severely hurt by
breaking through the miserable rat-trap
and, if suit for damages is not commenc-
ed against the city for the loss of limb
or broken neck-should the intolerable
nuisance remain-it will be chargcable
more to the lucky star Of pedestrians
than to the argus eyed mender of the peo-
pies ways.

THE TAX INJUNCTION CASE---OPlN-
ION OF JUDGE BACH.
Opinion on motion to vacate Injunction

Opinion on motion to vacate injunction
The theory upon which defts. mos
firmly rely in these cases is that the com
plants show upon their face that the
taxes are void; from which counsel con.
cludes that equity will not interfere, as
no harm can come to plffs. from sale
under proceedings void upon their face
The complaints certainly show that the
tax proceedings are void; but they do not
state that the invalidity appears of record.
Section 30, page 81, extra session 1887,
provides that the defendant, the county
treasurer, before making any sale of land
for unpaid taxes must examine the as
sessment roll and must omit from such
sale all lots enormously assessed, so far
as he is able to ascertain the same.
The presumption of law is that every
public officer will and does perform his
duty; and we must conclude that the
county treasurer did examine the roll,
and found no error upon, which referred
to the property in question, we must con-
clude further then that upon the face Of
the assessment roll no irregularity ap-
pears.
Such being the case, equity will inter-
fere, where the proceedings, regular up
on their face, are still void in fact.
The motion to vacate will be denied.
