Shooting ARRAY at PGyettc

weiser Leader.
On Monday evening last Joseph
Atchisou, commonly known as
"Sheepherder Jo," shot noted char
acter named Ed. Abbott, in Brown &
Ban ks saloon, at Payelte. From all
that we have been able to learn, the
particulars of the atfray are about as
follows: 1t appears that 10 aud Alb
bott were in Brown s. Bank saloon
engaged al gambling, when a dispute
arose. 10, hearing of the desperate
character of Abbott before this, quit
the game, and was standing in the
room when Abbott got up and CON-
menced calling 10 Il coward, telling
him he would not shoot, a, the same
time drawing his knife and advauc-
ing. When about SIX leet apart 10
Atchison drew his Al, pistol and iire, ,
the ball taking effect in Abbott S
breast, just above the left nipp c,
ranging little down, passing Gear
through his body and through the
wall of the building, but, strange to
say, the shot failed 10 cause Abbott
TO fall, but he kept after 10 with his
knife. After the first shot 10 lower
ed his pistol. as someone called to
him not TO shoot any more as he had
killed Abbott. 10 lit out after the
shooting, but it is supposed he con-
cIuded to give himself over to the au-
thorities, rs he arrived here Wednes-
day evening late, aud the next morn
ing surrendered mmself to Sheriff
Pence. AT last accounts the wound
ed man was getting along very well,
and it is thought he will recover.

The TACT has recently been made
known that the largo tree-like shrub,
known as the sage brush, which
grows in such rank profusion and
luxurlance on all tho plains and up
lands OF Southern Idaho, can be used
10 cultivate the Mandarin orange.
he method Of cultivation is to cut
away all the upper part of the sage
Tree at point Of the trunk just be-
low all the branches, make an oper-
ing IN the face Of the stump and in
sert the orange seed, covering them
with little moist earth. Without
care The seed will sprout and begin
to grow, and the third year from the
time of planting the cuI,ivator will
he rewarded with crop of oranges
that will make the land devoted To
tins purpose yie.d q net profit Of 5000
per acre. Estimating the area Of the
sage plains living between the Boise
and Snake rivers at half million
acres, the whole of this, when cult
waited IN oranges, would give the
fairly handsome yield Of $500, ,Oo0,-
600, which would he equal 10 an an.
nual income to each ilhabiiant of the
Boise valley and adjacent plains of
about $4,000.
The country is indebted for this
discovery to Mr.. Frank GanahI. who.
during his extensive travels in China.
visited certain large district of iha.
vast empire where the Mandarin or.
ange is exclusively cultivated, and
where, in It's original state, the land
produced only sage brush, precisely
similar in all respects to that which
grows and fourishes here in Southern
Idaho. In the district named, the
soil and the climatic conditions are
exactly what they are here, and as
result of the orange industry, every
inhabitant of the district IS a billion
airc.
These facts have been accidentally
brought to light hy watching the
movements of certain gentlemen
from the northern section Of the Ter.
rltory, who are now here, o.tensiblv
on business connected with the ses-
sion OF the Supreme Court, but
whose real purpose has been to buy
up all the sage brush land in this
section.
Judge Sweet, of Moscow, and
Messrs. Ganall, Heyhurn and Hagan
are the chief couspirators and manip
ulators of the scheme, and thev were
all sworn TO secresv; but il. mo-
ment of boasting over the enormous
revenue derived from his orange
plantations in China, Mr.. Ganahl let
the Ca; out of the bag in speaking CT
the wonderful value of the sage
brush as lie had seen it utilized IN
far-off Cathay.
For this disclosure Mr.. Ganahl
certainly deserves the honor of am
equestrian statue, and as soon as
OstGer can he found and set 10 work
the statue will be forthcoming.

the American Building antl Loan As.
sociatlon of Minneapolis, Miunrsoia,
IN which many Boise, Caldwell and

would have been we'll. No paners

CORN CROP CONDITIONS.
HOW 1T HAS STOOD THE LONG
SIEGE.
The Drouth Which Has Held the
Western States Captive Has Don e
It's Work-Fruit and Hay Like
wise Injured.

"Why don't you say that there won't
be bushel of corn in the county,"
my farm will produce 1000 bushels of
corn if it rains in 10 days." were two
contradictory statements given the RE-
FLECToR by two prominent farmers
today. 1t is probable that neither had
exactly the right of it. 1t is neither
80 good nor so bad as painted. We
have interviewed leading farmers from
alI sections of the county and find the
situation to be just this: Up to ten
days ago the listed corn, that on the
bottom lands and that late planted had
in many parts of the county had such
local rains as kept it green and grow
ing. Good rains falling then would
have saved much of it. Instead we
have had continued dry weather and
for three days the dreaded hot winds
have blown like breaths from furnace.
AS a result the majority of the fields
of the county even if the most generous
rains shOnld come at once will not
yield a bushel of corn. A few might
bear a small crop but not many.
There is, however, no prospect of rain
and it must be conceded that the corn
crop is failure. To be sure there will
be''nubbins" and fodder but only lit
tie saleable corn, compared with former
years. All fruits which are to ripen
from this on will amount to little or
nothing on account of the dry weather
and the hay crop will be very short.
The drouth is the longest and most
severe the county has seen in more
than decade and there is no prophecy
ing when it will end. Both for the
sake of health and the convenience of
the farmers it is hoped it may be soon
broken. With big yield of wheat,
a fair one of oats and considerable corn
left over from last year Dickinson
county is still all right. The indica-
tions are that the largest acreage Of
wheat sver sown will be put in this
fall. Our farmers are learning more
and more not to depend upon any one
product and though the present season
will cause some hardship it will fall
upon the farmers no harder than upon
the residents of the cities. Nearly al
Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas
Indiana and the other western states
are likewise suffering from the droutt
and to the same extent as ourselves
and we can only wait for the tide tc
turn again.
