RIVAL FACTIONS.
Two Men kill,d nnd Several Wounded in 1.
County Seat War in Colorado.

LAMAR, Col, Sept 21.-Rival county scat
facti@s,s in Baca county, fought a pitched
'lf@s.lc on the plains Saturday light in which
Two men were killed and half 4 score
wounded. The county was created from
Las Animas county by the legislature over
:, year ago. and the scat of the local govern
'ncht was placed temporarily at Springfield.
This did not suit the people of Boston, which
claims to be tho hub of the county, and
Shey swore with horrid oaths written in red
INK that they would have the court house
in their town OF there would be blood stains
on the sands of Baca county. Springfield,
s'hey said, did not have the $1,000 worth OF
public property necessary TO hold the county
capital, and ut tho next election they would
STOW Springfield under and move tho seat of
government to Boston. The Springfield peo-
pie sat down and thought, and the result was
a scheme to mako the Uubites sick. They
quietly went 10 work and bought an unoc-
cupied hotel at Boston that was sold at
auction. The next Thing WAS to get it to
Springfield, make q court house of it, and
defy Boston and thewoTlG. Saturday night
a parity left Springfield for Boston with
machinery to move the building to the
former town for use as 81 court house, and
prevent the county scat issue from being
raised this fail on the ground Of insufficient
property. Rollers were put un0lor tho build
ing, which is three stories high and the
finest in the county, and twenty teams we're
hitchcd to it. Inside the house were
stationed Twelve men nr1ned with Winches-
Ter rites. The building was moved about
five miles toward Springfield, which is about
twenty five miles from Boston, when tho
people Of The latter place discovered the
trick and Immediately organized. All
agailahiG horses and rifles were BROUGHT
into reauisi!ion and Il strong party started
j. pursuit. .4
UEon overtakinS tho building movers the
nnrsEcrs commanded q halt. which was an
swcreH by vol.eH OF shots from the mon in
tue building. A fusilade was opened at
.o!cc on the structure, Winclesters, shot
guns, revolycrs and stones being used with
telling effect. In five minutes the house
was without windows and looked as though
Ii had hardly recovered from o bad attack
OF smallpox. The fire vas kept up for some
tino, the Springfield crowd OF covers being
beaten Off and the Spartan band inside re-
ceivins the brunt OF the fire. Several of
the attacking party fell seriously wounded
and the men in the building had not
escaped unhurt. The fight took on seri-
GUS look and il was feared that
many lives would be sacrificed. The CRY
was raised by the attacking party to fire tho
building and roast the daring few like rats
ION y burning ship. This called forth the
white Gag from the conlbatants inside and

Some garden soil that has grown clover
withouC manure forVhirty-fve years shows
q very great loss of nitrogen, probably
equal to the amount removed in the crop.
We have abundant evidence that legumi.
nous plants can obtain from some sou ce
very much more nitrogen than other crops,
but whether they take from the atmosphere
or snbs0il has not been settled; at all events
those crops whose roots penetrate the deers
est into the subsOil obtain the most. The
roots of lucern penetrate nine feet, and un-
fortunately my SubsOil varies so much in
quality that all attempts to measure the
loss of nitrogen has failed all that has
been established is the fact that within tie
range Of the roots there is 10000 pounds Of
nitrogen upon each acre Of land. 4here can
benO doubt that leguminOuS plants do take
nitrogen and nitric acid from the soil at
the same time they behave differently from
other crops. We have very little doubt
that the main source of the nitrogen Of the
cereals and roots, potatoes, mangels, tur-
nips, is nitric acid; this is certainly not the
case with the leguIDinOse. Considerable
areas of my experimental ground have re-
ceived no manure containing nitrogen for
forty or fifty years in the course of time
these soils must show whether the nitro
gen has come from the soil or not. We eS.
innate that the loss Of nitrogen on our gar.
den soil would amount to 2,700 pounds per
acre upOn the first nine inches from the
surface. This looks as if leguminOus
plants do not obtain nitrogen from the air
so long as they can obtain a supply from
the soil.
Yours truly,

so that when steam is condensed, this heat
reappears and is sensibly felt, hence is not
lost.
But although it has disappeared, the
modern theory of heat as a kind of motion
does not allow this idea that it is hidden
somewhere and can be found by shaking.
According to the modern theory Of heat,
when we add heat to y mass, we do not
pour INTO 1t Il certain quantity of matt er.
but we lmpart it to a certain amount Of
energy. THIS energy goes TO pull asundcr
the molecules OF the ice against the mole.
cular action that tends to keep them lock.
ed together in solid form. In overcoming
these forces the heat txpemds itself and
ceases to exist as heat. Hence the term
latent heat is hardly applicable. TO make
this theory clear, assume two blocks of
lead suspended by two strings from one
point. Under the influence of gravity each
tends to place itself vertically below the
point OF suspension, and thus they cling
together with a certain small force. IT we
wish to pull them aSunder, we must over
come the force that's pulling them together
and in doing so expend q certain amount
of muscular energy. If we allow the blocks
to go, they will fall together and acquire
an energy OF motion equal. to that expend-
ed in separating them. In the transfOrma.
ton OF ice to water, and water to steam,
this sRme process is seen, for the particles
cling together and resist separation. Heat is
the agent by which we overcome this attrac-
ton. and in doing so We expend it's energy
until all the particles are separated and the
block of ice becomes the liquid water or the
liquid water the vapOr steam. The heat has
disappeared as heat and has become energy.

bic III a strict sense. 1t is applicable to
thlsextent, that az the y a~rticleS of water and
Steam are held apart they possess u Car

sion of water to ice and steam to water.
The energy of motion of the steam is
changed into heat BY condensation. Hence
all the heat that disappears to separate
the particles OF the water to make steam is
given up aud becomes sensible when the
steam is condensed and becomes water.
1hlS heat disappearing and appearing
is what Is known as latent heat, vet
our engineer friends will understand that
when it has disappeared to make steam it
IS no longer heat that can lie shaken nm
and driven ont of its hiding place, but
energy which can be converted into heat
again by cOndenSing the Steam. 1t is this
fact that makes steam such An efficient
vehicle Of heat, because in cOndensing it so
much hea6 is produced in it's change of
form. 1t is pnt into the boiler and carried
in the steam as energy, bat all is given up
again. Therefore there is no loss.-BOs.
