a Duel with Bull Whips

A teamster for sawmiil company, which
operates 10 the bottom lands near Ohlllico-
the. Mo-. brings report OF queer duel that
was fought last Sunday.
For come time there has been bad blood
between james Stevens and William Ora
ham. Tue trouble originally aross over the
relative merits Of the Two men ss oxen driv
ers, or "buIi punchers," each claiming to be
the best Ia the section. The matter WAS
Kept within the bounds OF wordy war IN.
Ill lsst Sunday, when 10 was decided to set
tie the matter by fight With bull whips.
These are dangerous weapons in the hands
OF an expert. They have total lsngth Of
about fifteen feet, aud when we'll handled
the wielder can AXE strip OF hide from the
tanks OF bullock at every pop.
The preiiminaries we're all arranged, and
the men we're given plenty OF soom 10 which
to circulate. There we're no secoods, and
the understanding was that the men sbould
fight until one cried enough" The en-
ployees OF the mill arranged themselves 10
q circle about one hundred feet ip diameter,
and the men were told to go In and fight.
They approached to within fifteen feet Of each
othor and halted. Then both began circling
the long whips over their heads, waiting for an
opportunity to give cut. Graham was frat to
try, but his blow wss lodged by Stevens, who also
sent his lash wide of his mark. This was repeat
cd several times, when Stevens sent his lash d1-
rectly at the handle of GTaham's whip, and by n
quick twist tore it from his hand.
Graham quickly recovered his weapon. but not
before Stevens gave him two fearful lashes, one
drawing the blood from his neck sud the other
tearing strip out of his trousers leg The pain
so enraged Graham that he made savage on
slaught on stevens, cutting him twice. ACROSS,
the face.
Stevens kept his temper, and sgain caught
Grshsm's whip but before the latter could recover
it, he was whipped about the head and face nntil
he was completely blinded and at the mercy Of
his antagonist, who lsshed him almost into tnsen.

A Savage Battle.

A savage battle took place on Saturday
in the suburbs of San Francisco between
August Wnitemore's valuable horse aud his
bulldog. The horse, In going out of his
stable, kicked the dog, whereupon the latter
bit the horse Then both animals became
iniurlated. The dog jumped and got good
hold on the horse's flank. He took mouth
tul and set his jaws hard. Whitemore and
his bired man rushed to the rescue. The
horse, however, was in the fght. and not st
all afraid. He shook the dog lose and then
cent him flying In the air with well d.
rected kick. As soon as the bull dog
could pick himself up be made an
other savage rush, jumping at the
horses throat. His sharp teeth found

ering the horse's windpipe. The horse
screamed with pain and terror. and fell to
the ground, while the dog kept on teariog at
his throat. Whitemore and his hired man
had made several vain attempts to separate
the animals. Whitemore got pitchfork,
with which he struck at the dog, and finally
drove him from his victim. The maddened
brute then turned on his master and caught
him by he thigh. Whitemore, aided by his
bired man, beat tbs dog off, escaping with
out serious injury. the bulldog then re-
turned to bis PROSTATE adversary and began
to chew bis throat. Finally, seeing that the
horse was nearly dead, Whltemere procured
rifle and sent bullet threw the dogs
head. As the brute was dying he fastened
his teeth again In the flesh Of the dying
horse, locking his jaws 30 tight that the
teeth had to be broken before the bodies
could be separated. The horse was thor

Penalties for Pests.

Legislation for the control of plant diseases and injurious insects should be the general demand of horticulturists. A man has no more right to let conta- gious plant diseases and noxious insects run riot on his premises than he has to let glandered horses run in the public roads, or in his pastures. This princi- pie is correct, and in the case of conta- gious animal diseases has the commen- dation of the public, and the destruction of the animals by the proper authori- ties is sustained by our courts. All such laws should be wisely drawn and executed. The interests of the individ- ual must be subordinated to that of the public, and they will soon be found to be identical.

Why nni CirnXx OnInine2

California claims to grow everything, but she don't. The cinchona trees of several species, natives of the Andes in South America, would do well here. There are several species from which quinine is obtained, ,one of the most val Hable drugs known to materia medica is manufactured, They would undoubt- edly thrive on portions of this coast. The British government has established large plantations of these trees in India that are now paying large revenue, and have greatly reduced the drug in price.

The capital stock of the company is one hundrs,l thousand (l00, ,0O0) shares of ten t$l0) dollars each.
 Onelhali of the capital stock will be sold ih the Tsrritoryof Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation of sugar bests. susarcane sorghum and sac shsrins products st the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machin. cry adopted to manufacturing domestic suyaS.
 The sf.y thousand shares reserved for the farmers cen bs paid for at any time wishi1 five ysars from the date of the organization in land or its ssccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub scribers will be entitled to draw a divi- dend pro rsla on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to full dividend ssmi-snnually.
 It is reasonably expected that the com papy csn declare dividend of 25 pa cent per anaun on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been dispeeed of aad one-hali fully paid in cash, the company will be authorized to issue equal to one-hslf of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay able In twenty years, with interest at the rate oi percentum per annum, payable semi-snnually, for the purpose of deSotipg the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; pro- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued ner mortgage on the prop srty Sxecntsd without the approval of 8 majority of the shareholders.
 The Goysrnmsns of the United States offers, ,to pay bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar. and to admit free 'sf dutt, until the first day of July, 1892, ell machinery required for its manu- iscturs,
 The Territorial Legislature, at it's last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar bests. ss we'll ss the plant and machin- cry employed in the manufacture of do- nestic sugsr, from taxation for ten years.l
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- Issses;5 candy and confectionery to the value of eiol ,2a3 ,s2e, or sent away up- vaEds of bse hundred million dollars, which can be retained at home by en- coura&ing the manufacture of domestic susars
 Thsaversge yield of saccharine matter from sugar bests in France is only 6 per cent, fin Germany 10 DOT cent.
 In California the average yield is l5 per cent.
 It is confidently believed shat the soil and Sun of Arizona will yield much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other cou atEy; and if these premises are correct the profits will exceed that of any other sugar faCtSfy in shs United States.
