Atty. +. FL. Ingham while out
cunning on Tuesday accompanied
by his dog shot a very large cata-
mount ON the John Reynolds farm
near the old Davidson road. The dog
had pursued it for some little time
and during the chase Frank shot at
it four times, the last taking effect
in the leg. The cat ran short dis
tance from where it was wounded
and treed under log when the dog
not knowing the nature OF the beast
made lunge for it and was fearfully
cut about the head by the large and
sharp claws of the cat. The dog
made retreat to the top of the log
and awaited his masters coming.
When Frank had advanced to with
in several feet of the beast he raised
his head over the log growing and
showing his teeth in an ugly manner.
The hunter took aim with fine shot
and excavated hole in the animals
head as large as the muzzle of his
gun. At this writing the valuable
dog owned by the hero is ID very
poor health, having lost consider
able amount of blood in the Ifracus.
1t is more than likely that lie will
survive, however. The bouity on
! wild cats, is $500.

The majority of our town readers
are knowing of the fact that new
side walks constructed in LaPorte
are built at the expense of property
owners by which said walk passes;
said property owners are also at the
expense of keeping in repair said
walks, hence no levy is made upon
taxes collected by the borough for
the building of side walks in either
the lst or 2nd Ward, of this city.
Should the council approve the
construction off walk to the new
school house which is greatly need
ed and choose King St., tor the site
of the same the following individuals
would be at the expense of building
the same, viz: James Walsh, t. j.
Keelcr and Judge Ingham. Should
they request one built from the End
Ward the expense would be wholly
upon James McFarlane & Co., who
own all lands by which said walk
would run. This will satisfy all
that q donation of work is not neces-
sary as our correspondent suggests.

respondent is true in every respect.

POLITICAL TAFFY.
An Editor Sues the Governor of Cali


fornia.
"Robert Farrell VS.. r. w. Waterman
was the title of a case disposed of by Justice
Austin this morning, says the Los Angeles
Express of the 10th, by the defendant pay
ing all demands and costs Of suit.
An Express reporter, seeming an item
somewhat different from the general run,
made some inquiries and was considerably
shocked to learn that Robert Farrell, editor
and proprietor of the Whittier Pointer, had
dared to bring suit against the Governor Of
the great commonwealth of California for
$50 worth of political talfy. Such, how
ever, proved to be the case, for upon being
fore Colonel Markham's name was brough!
out by the Express as a candidate for the
nomination of Governor on the Republican
ticket, Mr.. Waterman came to him and in
sisted on being "whooped up" to the ex-
tent OF S85.
Editor Farrell did the "whooping" in fine
shape. The Pointer gave many reasons
why Waterman should receive the nomina-
nation; but, as subsequent events show,
the Pointers logic failed to bear fruit.
The general drift of events undoubtedly
had a tendency to put the Governor in any
thing but pleasant mood. and when the
rural molder of public opinion had the gall
to present his bill for tho aforesaid
''whoOp,' it is not at all surprising that the
Governor got very angry and declared that
the editor of the Pointer could go to San
Diego or some other seaport town.
A telegram was received this morning
that the matter would be settled forthwith,
and shortly after Justice Austin took his
seat a personal friend of the Governors put
in an appearance, paid the amount sued
for, and the case was dismissed.
