Cottonwood is found along the Cheha-
lis in almost inexhaustible quantities,
and of quality, that combined with the
pure water here. makes it susceptible of
being manufactured into the very best

The Reno Gazette says that Chicago

cattle. Chicago beef buyers are now
in Reno looking over the situation.
They are waiting to see if they can
make satisfactory rates with the rail

country, and if they succeed they will
wind up the cattle business of this
market in hurry. With California,
Washington, Oregon, British Column

allude to the custom. During the

penalties, the local officials being held

BRAVE DEED OF A GIRL.
How . Sixteen-Year-Old Miss Dragged =
Panther to Death.

How . Sixteen-Year-Old Miss Dragged .
Panther to Death.
A most remarkable story. of frontier
bravery, the heroine being Miss Pauline
Collier, n young lady sixteen years Of
age, comes from ChildreSs, q new town
in the Panhandle country, this State,
says a letter from San Antonio, Tex.
Miss Collier is pupil in the Childress
district school, and although she lives
ten miles from that town she makes
the trip back and forth each day on a
spirited Texan pony. One morning last
week She left home at an early hour
and was riding lcisurely along when
she cspied an enormous panther immc-
diately in front of her, crouchcd in the
short prairie grass, ready for fatal
spring. With admirable presence of
mind Miss Collier seized the lariat
hanging at her saddlc-bow, and with
great deXterity the animals neck was
encircled with the deadly coil. At
word from it's mistress the pony which
Miss Collier was riding sprang away Mt
gallop, dragging the savage but help
less monster to it's death. Upon be-
coming satisfied that the animals life
was extinct the young lady undid the
rope from the pommcl of her saddle,
leaving the panther stretched upon the
prairie behind her. Proceeding on her
way to school she met John Perry in
company with several cowboys and re-
lated the story. They went to the spot
where the dead panther lay and pro-
ceedcd to dcnude it of its hide. which
will be made into a robe and presented
to the young lady. The panther
weighed two hundred ard ten pounds.
The Story OF n Famous Duel.
Without doubt the most tragic duel
ever fought in the vicinity of New
York City was the deadly contest be-
tween Alexander Hamilton and Aaron
Burr. Historic as it is, stories not given
in the books are being retaiied about it.
Fitz Green Washington, great-grand-
nephew of the father Of his country,
has an account Of the. affair from his
grandfather, Captain Fitz Hughes. The
Captain learned after the start where
the fighting ground had been located,
and was rowed across the North river by
q couple of slaves. When he arrived
the antagonists had taken positions.
Hamilton and Burr were to fire twice
or thrice. At the word of command
Hamilton fred at Burr and Burr fired
in the air. At the second firing Hamil-
ton fred in the air and Burr shot Ham
ilton. Hamilton thought Burr meant
to kill him, as he meant to kill Burr,
but when he saw the discharge in the
air he changed his tactics, as did Burr,
and with fatal results. This is said to
be the true history of the duel fought
by these two great men.
