The Indian war is reported as
ended but the bucks are restless,
and the young ones refuse to be
eentrOlled by the old chiefs, War
like speeches are made by the war
riors at midnight, and the question
of disarming the Indians IS still per-
picking the military. There is a
certainty of q bloody fight if the at
tempt IS made. The recent settle
ment or surrender is pronounced
practically redman's victory.

A GENTLEMAN who knows from eS

A GENTLEMAN who knows from ex-
pericnce gives us bit of informa-
ton on the care of peach tress, and
common sense shows the philosophy
of the precautioh. He claims that
the peach crop is always damaged il
=. all, by the frost after the bud has
started. To guard against this,
when the soil is frozen he covers
the roots of the trees with a heavy
coating of straw, thereby keeping
the ground froze after the surround
ing soil has thawed out. By keep
ing the roots of the tree cold the sap
does not ascend as quickly as 1t 9TH
erwIse would, and the blossoms are
kept back until all fear of freezing
the bud is over. This theory looks
very plausible and is worth a trial.

The farmers of Kansas are resist
ing by force the foreclosure of mort
cages. A few years ago a large
amount of MlssourI's fairest domain
was plastered over with Eastern
Trust company's mortgages. They
are now being promptly paid as they
come due. Very rarely there is a
foreclosure. But why compare Mis-
souri, and Kansas longer? The peo-
pie of the North and East have sure
ly learned by this that there Is no
COMPARISON. Missouri is almost a
world within itself. Her resources
are the most varied of any state
In the Union. This fact is just be-
coming known. and the next decade
Missouri growth will be second to
none in the Union.

A REPORT comes from Beaver
Falls, Pa. telling how a young lady,
hed-rldden with paralysis, was al
most cured by the house catching
fire. Her name is Hattie McPher-
son, aged 20, daughter of DR.. p. G.
Mcpherson. She was sick in bed
and unable to move with paralysis
of the side. The doctor and his wife
were at the theatre, and the sick girl
was in charge of young lady friend
and a servant. When the fire broke
out one of the latter ran to telephone
and the other started to the theatre
after the parents. In the meantime
the girl had gotten up, put on a
wrapper and slippers and met her
father half way, who hurried her
into a neighbor's and into bed, The
excitement and exertion almost cur
ed her instead of killing her as was
expected.

THE MILK THAT Boiled.
A Spot Where the Intense Heat of Yester-

A Spot Where the Intense Heat of Yester-
day Seemed to Concentrate.
There were several spots on the earth
where it was warm yesterday. So warm in
fact that the spots in the sun were not in it.
The high and mighty heat that poured out
its strongest rays upon the earthly pigmies
caused little torrents of salty perspiration
to fill the highways and byways on every
countenanee. There were few, indeed, who
felt fresh enough to murmer ''Is it hot
enough for you?'
There was one place where the essence of
all this dazzling neat seemed concentrated.
About mile east of Beaver Roads, a little
station on the Montour Railroad, is a hill
which reaches nearer heaven than any of
its immense companions. 1t is in the north
west part of the McCurdy oil field. A tagged
out DISPATCH reporter reached this celestial
knoll about noon yesterday, and, after Slak-
ing his immense thirst from a 650-barrel
water tank, inquired of an uncouth driller
sitting in the shade of an old-fashioned
farmhouse how hot it was by the thermom-
eter.
Dun no. Hain't got no thermometer but

At ll:50 the driller said tersely, "Taste it"
The milk had soured. Five minutes later a
commotion WIS evidently going on in the

creased rapidly and as the bubbles burst
little drops of milk flew over the sides of the
pan.

Handles a Revolver Very Recklessly-
Said He Would Kill the Man.
James AbrioIa, an Italian, shot Joseph
Cross yesterday afternoon and then held
crowd OF several hundred at bay by vigor-

occurred on the Cincinnati Packet Line
wharfboat at the foot of Wood street. Cross

Abriola had IA Italians whom he was TAX

We're about to embark on the Hudson. The
Italians. with their luggage, went down to
the Doat at about 4:30 o'clock: AS they passed
up tine gangway to the wharfbOat, Cross and
another Hudson porter named Donaldson
offered to carry the luggage on the boat.
Donaldson was misunderstood by Abriola,
and they got into dispute which ended by
their coming to blows. Cross interfered and
separated them
Abriola says Cross struck him in the face,
though Cross denies it. According to Cross
story, Abriola started away shaking his fist
at Cross, eXclaiming:
'.Me killa you before we get to Wheeling"
Nearly an hour elapsed before the Italian
returned. When he did Gross WAS sitting
on the gangway. Abriola stepped up to
Cross and reached for his hip pocket, but
Cross was on his feet in an instant, and
as the Italian drew the revolver Cross
reached for it. Cross, in endeavoring to get
the weapon from the Italians hand, slipped
and. fell at his feet. Abriola then fred two
shots, one grazing the colored mans head
and the other taking effect in his left
shoulder.
Abriola then ran, followed by the crowd up
the wharf to Wood street and down to Archi-

him viciously and would probably have

SUING FOR A D0WRY.
The Title to Nine Acres of Allegheny
Property Questioned.
THOUSANDS WANTED BY WIDOW.
Mrs. Watson Will Try to Recover Because She
Did Not Sign the Deed.
NEW LEGAL QUESTION INVOLVED

The precipe in a suit somewhat unusual
in our courts was yesterday filed in the Pro-
thonotarys office. The plaintiff is Mrs.
Mary W. d. Watson, widow of the late
Alexander NJ. Watson, attorney. The de-
PENDANTS are Harry and Samuel Brown and
the Pennsylvania Company operating the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Rail-
way Company. The suit is entered by At
torney j. D. Watson. 1t is for the purpose
of establishing the right of dover in strip
of land lying between the center line of the
right of way of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railway Company and low
water mark on the Ohio river extending
from the Davis property line above Jacks
run in Allegheny City to the James Sterrett
property line at Neville station, containing
nine acres of very valuable land, the river
front being occupied by Browns coal land
ing, fitted up with all the most approved
machinery for the coal carrying trade.
Once Before In the Courts.
The same property figured once before in
litigation when A NJ. Watson went after
Sam Brown for the value OF legal services in
securing the property when its sale was
ordered by the United States Court in bank
ruptcy proceedings, in which A. NJ. Watson
was petitioner. The present suit will be
watched with interest by all people who
bought property sold by assignee IN bank
ruptcy proceedings. The upper end of the
property in dispute was conveyed to A. NJ.
Watson in 1854 by James Graham and the
lower end in 1856 by James P. Jack
1t is rather unusual proceeding arising
under the common law where the husband
conveys land without the wife's signature in
bankruptcy Statutory dover lies where
the husband dies in possession of the realty.
Statutory dover gives the wife an interest
in the income of one-third of the realty, but
in this case what is contended for is seizin
in fact, the plaintiff claiming the absolute
right to one-third of the property, which is
descendible to her heirs, and as this prop
erty is very valuable this fact is much more
material than it would be were she only to
be allowed possession.
The Pennsy May Have to Pay.
What Browns do not use as landing the
railway company uses as freight yard.
Property sold as this was, at the sale of an
assignee in bankruptcy, generally goes
cheaply, owing to the contingency. If A.
NJ. Watson had lived 81 years after the sale
it is said the purchasers would be in better
sha pc to defend, as there are opposing de-
cisions on the subject, but as he died several
years before the end of that period the
plaintiff is confident that the fee simple will
not vest in the purchasers for more than
two-thirds of the property.
