THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

On Tuesday, the 14th instant, the fall
fair of the Sixth district will be opened
in this city. This district opened the
circuit with its races in August, and now
it will close the season with this fair.
There will be speed programme of five
days, a cattle show and display Of
fruits and vegetables. The races and
stock exhibits will be at Agricultural
park, and the display of fruits and vege-
tables will be in the halls of the cham
Der Of commerce. Great preparations
are in progress, and the directors are do
ing their best to make this fair memoir
able. They think the prospects are ex-
cellent for the achievement of all their
plans.
If the farmers do their part there will
be no doubt about the success of the
fair. The district contains all the ele-
ments of success in it's own borders. AS
to thoroughbred stock and trotters, to
use slang phi rase, the woods here are
full of them" The Rosemeade, the
Santa Anita, the Edgemont, the
Chino and other stables would be diff
ficult to match in any part of the blue
grass state. Annually numerous addi-
tions are being made to these stables of
the finest strains in the stud booths.
In general utility stock, and heavy
draft horses, the section is quite as we'll
supplied. The turnouts of Los Angeles
city are notable, and the roadsters met
in all the highways and byways of the
country are of grade fully up to the
best.
Much attention is being paid to cattle
as well as to horses. The Alamitos
ranch people have recently imported a
herd of fine thoroughbred cattle. This
is but an instance among scores of a
similar character.
Nearly all the noted breeders of horses
and cattle have secured space at the fair
grounds, which have been much i'm
proved for the accommodation of ami
mails on exhibition. These features
will be very attractive this year. Those
who keep up with what
is going on in these lines
freely prophesy that in five years fro m
now Los Angeles county will be one of
the most notable regions in the union
for fine blood in horses and cattle. These
animal shows and contests in appear
ance and speed do much in the way of
developing stock up to the best attaina-
BILE results.
The exhibit of fruits, vegetables and
like products and the preparations made
for them ought to be such as to astonish
all beholders. There is no end to these
products in variety, and they are un-
matched by those of any other Sec
ton. We were shown yesterday a
box of dried figs, of the white
Smyrna variety, grown and put
up in Salt river valley, which in all
respects fully rivalled the very best i'm
ported. They were shown to a leading
grocer here who passed that judgment
upon them and offered to take all that
could be prepared of this grade at the
price paid for the imported article.
If farmers will send to the chamber
of commerce their best products of all
sorts, the display will be remarkable.
If it should be at all what it ought to be,
that is to fairly represent this section,
the proper thing to do with it at the end
of the week will be to. pack it up and
send it to Chicago to the permanentex-
hibit there.

and which not only prevents immi-
grafton, but is absolutely depopu-
lating the State; and we recommend
that the Democratic ticket for this
county be printed with the following
words thereon:
Unconstitutional Convention, yes.''
ReSolUed: That we demand of the
incoming Legislature the Immediate
and unconditional repeal of the law
passed by the last Nevada Legisla-
ture, and approved on the ninth day
of March, 1880, known as the COS
borne Water Law"
ReSOlUed: That while we are in
favor OF radical reduction of the
expenses OF both State and County
goverRments, we are NOT in favor Of
reducing the salaries Of our County
commissioners. as We regard them as
the custodians OF our county finances
and tho most important officers the
voters OF the county are called upon
to elect.
Resolred: That we are in favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of
standard silver dollars of tie present
weight and tineness, which shall be a
legal tender for the payment of all
debts both public and private, and We
will be satisfied with nothing less.
Resolved: That we arc opposed to
the consolidation of the Office of
County Superintendent of Schools
with That Of District Attorney, as we
believe such i combination would be
detrimental TO the educational inter
ests Oh the county upon which her
future welfare depends. The success
OF free government depends upon the
education of the peoole.
ReSOLUed: That we are in favor Of
olectinG thoroughly competent per-
son to the Office Of Superintendent of
Schools and increasing the salary to
one hundred dollars per month, pro-
vided, that the said Superintendent
snail visit each public school in the
county at least once during each
school year.
ReSOIUcd: That for tho purpose of
securing the purity Of the 3 .llot Box,
we are liz favor of the Australian bal
lot system as adopted in tho State of
Massachusetts.
ResOtred: That we earnestly rec
ommend such amendments TO the
fedora CONSTITUTION as Will enable
nS PCople W eIecG OniLeu SGaLeS Sen-
ators by direct vote.
RcS0!Ued: That we heartily con-
.lemn the practice Of requiring candi-
dates for county offices to make an
expensive and laborous canvass of
the county, as we deem it a pernicous
one calculated to prevent the best
men from seeking official positions.

F1e Shot SIX Indians AMI Than the Rods
Givo Up IurSu.t
A gentleman passed through the CITY
Sunday on his way to Excelsior Springs,
s%ys tho Kansas City Times, whose
lame three or four years ago was ono Of
tAe most popular in the daily press Of
that day. 1t was John T. Shy, of Dem
ing, n. NJ, whose deed of hcroism in
r3ving his wife and family from massacre
~ band of savage Apachcs after a rum
ring fight of several miles will ever
mako his namo conspicuous ono in the
history Of the West. The story is as
follows:
Fir. Shy had settled on q ranch in
New Mexico with his wife and young
son, their place being seventeen miles
rom any oGhcr settlement. The ranch
was attacked by rowing band Of eigh-
Teen Apaches who sought to drive OF
tho stock. Mr.. Shy, who was woll-
armed, and had plenty OF ammunition,
placed his wife and child in a place of
SAFETY within the house and then
opened fire, which was returned. The
light was waged for some time,
till one Of the Indians succeeded
In crawling up and setting fire to
tho house. This necessitatcd flight: so,
sending Mrs. Shy forward under cover
OF tho smoke of the burning building,
tho husband and father, carrying his
young son under his arm, made a dash
for tho cover Of some thick brush which
was growing near by.
An Indians bullet won't THROUGH tho
childs hip and lodged in tho fathers
body, but tho fight wont on. Mr.. Shy
ran forward somo distance, and then,
dropping the child into tho brush,
would face about and fire at the lead
ing pursucr, who would thus DO BROUGHT
to standstill for time, then another
Snort flight and another stand to gain
time for Mrs. SHY, who was fleeing in
tho front, and so the day was spent. The
Indians finally gave up tho chase,
which had cost them no less than six
warriors, and tho exhausted fugitives
managed to roach tho city of Dcming
with their lives. Tho wounds received
by both father and son were rapidlv
healed, and now, when the hostilos are
forever expelled from or killed out OF
that noighborhood there is no more
nourishing or happy family in New
Mexico than that Of valorous John r,
