sheriff has been killed and his deputy
wounded. No arrests have been made, nor
has any inquest been held to investigate
the cause OF death, though the parties have
been buried. 1t is thought all will be left to

ALBUoUERQUE, N. M, August ia
Mexican boy was bitten by mad wolf in
the San Andreas mountains recently, and
died in great agony. The scene around the
little fellows bed was heart-rending, for he
acted like a wolf, and, although small, it
took several men to hold him down.
He and his brother were playing a few
yards from the house when the wolf at
tackled them, lacerating their faces and
hands, the younger boy, however, receiving
the deepest wounds. -
A Mexican herder's attention was at.
tracted by their cries, and he went to their
assistance. He lassoed the wolf, throwing
the maddened beast to the ground, and,
having no knife, frightened the rope and
strangled it to death.
It is feared that the other boy will
die OF his wounds. which refuse to heal.

PLEASING TO ICE MEN.

The Present weather VIII Continue
For several Days...About the Late
Spring.
Signal Service Observer Fitzgerald has
advices that while there will be no radi-
cal changes in the present weather. it is
likely to be colder before it is warmer
and that several days will elapse before
the mercury is forced to take an upward
shoot. This will truly be gratifying news
to the ice men who were foremost among
the classes of tradesmen who wore down
cast countenances during the uninter.
ruLted season of amiable weather. In
deed, save the coal men. the men whose
fortune is measured by the extent of the
ice harvest, had no particular sympa-
thizers In their grief over the immovable
condition of the elements. But now they
are supremacy happy and already they
are making hay while the sun shines. and
the Holmes street car line which
has kept the wolf away from many
a lsborer's door this winter by
furnishing work is not alone as a public
benefactor. The ice men have staked
out their claims upon the frozen river
wherever it is possible and have theil
men hired to harvest it in.
How long this first spell of real winter
upaa kor xpi hut
A. W. Greeley. chief signal service officer
of the United States, says that it is moi
likely that we will have late spring, as
is being predicted by some of our So
called weather prophets. A semi>private
letter from him says:
THE significance of the unusual wealth
er conditions for the past seven months
eau be explained only with reference &c
the abnormal distribution of atmospheric
pressure over the northern hemisphere
Under the doctrine of averages we could
easily look for an open. mild winter
since the late spring and summer was
cooler than usual, and to counterbalanct
| the deficiency OF temperature in the spring
| and summer there should be an excess in
the winter just now occurring. This
however. can not be regarded as respons'
| ible for future prophesies, since the sci
entific use of averages can only refer to
very long periods. and can not safely be
referred to special short periods. such as
six months or year, in case of tempera'
lure and rainfall. My personal opinion
is that no one has reasonable grounds
for predicting late spring on the simple
basis of the present winter being so fal
mild and open"
