hut Ninc Lone Pine Farmers raid
StSOO To Find II out.


FRIDAY, June 81 midde.agcd man
pretending to represent u grocery firm in
81. Paul, dropped down on the farmers
Of Lone Pine district, eight miles north
east of here, To sell them goods cheap.
His prices were very low: best grant
lated sugar 7c Per pound fine Java cof-
foe five pounds to the dollar, best Japan
ten 3oc rcr pound, etc; Tie prices seem
ed very reasonable indeed, and nine diff.
icrcnt farmers gave their orders for from
$40 to so worth. After cnch order was
made out the purchaser was re-.
qucsted to sign II as an evi,
dcnCc Of good faith, and that the
goods would bc sent to the proper per-
son. The goods were to reach Oak-dalc
the 25th, when the bill would be due.
All the orders were signed and the
grocery agent departed, leaving his Gus.
toners pleased with their bargains.
The goods did not arrive, and on satur-
day, July 6, three parties living east of
Pennington, rs well as the nine Lone Pine
farmers were notified their individual
notes for $50 each were In Pennington
for collection, having been cashed At u
discount Upon examining the notes
the signatures were found to be genuine.
The swindle amounts to $500, and Il T.
supposed the sharper cleared "A cool

HORSE TRAINING.
what o Professional Has to Say on
the subject

Editor OF the REVIEW: In your issue
of the 9th inst. | noticed an article con-
demning in strong terms the method
pursued by the trainer near the post
office In subduing n horse. Tho writer
of that article appears 20 have not known
that the horse referred to was a most
vicious and treacherous one He seems
not to understand that there Is great
difference in training the Western horse
ns compared with those raised in tho
East. There II Is an easy process, as he
has been handled from colthood up;
here he roams the prairie at will until
to years old, and when taken up makes
n desperate fight for freedom. In tor
many instances, through the careless.
ness of those handling him, he l. sue.
ce-sfIil. At each subsequent handling
he is more fierce and determined In his
resistance, until finally he becomes
kicking, striking, spoiled animal and In
ordinary hands unmanageable. OF this
kind was the horse referred to in your
article. He had passed through many
hands and the unintelligent treatment
aud abuse he had received rendered IL
unsafe 10 go near him.
Everyone knows that II Is the ability
and willingness OF a horse 10 perform
the duties required Of him that make
him so useful and valuable servant.
The system of training recognized by
horsemen as one OF .he best and humane
for the purpose is that Of Magner, aud Is
the one used by the trainer In question.
For the average colt, the primary
lessons Of this method are sufficient to
render him safe and manageable, and
are not nt all severe. With an oldet
subject, the more severe lessons are nee
essary to teach him that man Is his rnss-
ter and he must perform the duties re-
quired Of him. without resistance. He
must allow himself to be touched by
pole and strap, 10 become familiar with
him and learn that they are not intended
to injure him. When horse so trained
Is driven, and a break occurs In harness
or wagon, he IL not apt to add one moro
to the already long list Of plunging
kicking runaways.
To the casual observer the moro -
we're lessons given while training un-
safe horses may seem cruel, but expert
enced h0rsemen know that such meth
ods are necessary TO render them Of use
and value. There aro many horses used
In this city which have been trained by
the Magner sytem, and there arc none
that have forgotten their training, or
have been either seriously or per-
manenty blemished by it

The FaN Tcmpleton mine on Pony

career of late has been as chequered as
II has been notorious. After several
months of silence the first news that

week she was arrested on the Paris Bou-
lcvard for intoSiCation and fined in the
police court next morning, after being
locked up all night, fifty francs, which
amount corresponds to our traditional
$40, for nights spree. Last season the

The trial of Mrs. Virginia Taylor for
the murder of her husband by poisoning
last December, mention of which was
made in these columns at the time, was
concluded in the Accomac county court
on Friday of last week, the jury finding
the accused guilty and fixing her term at
five years in the penitentiary. The trial
lasted nearly a week. The witnesses ex-
amined were those who had seen Taylor
In his last illness, and also were aware OF
an intimacy between Mrs. Taylor and
James Dix, young man who lived with
the family. The testimony summed up
amounts to about this In October Mrs
TAYLOR bought bottle of strychnine to
poison some rats, she said, but instead
kept and at the first opportunity gave 1t to
her husband in small doses, causing him
to suffer the most excruciating pains I'LL
death came. The body was buried but
was afterwards taken up and the stomach
sent to Richmond 10 be analysized. In
the meantime Mrs. Taylor was arrested
and lodged in jail. She was placed on
the stand and admitted that she had
bought the strychnine but denied giving
any to her husband. She said she had
often kissed young Dix and sat on his lap
and did not consider anything wrong about
l~I saffa he
present when she was carrying on with
Dix and meyer minded it. She said the
neighbOrhood in which they resided was
addicted to kissing and that unmarried
persons kissed married, man another
mans wife and vice versa. Although
very ignorant, being unable to read and
write, the accused aided her case by heT
testimony.
