The Courthous Grounds.

EDITORS HERALD: AS your paper is
always alive to the interests of the peo-
pie, | would like to ask the county su-
pervisors a few questions:
First-If in building solid wall of
concrete and granite around the court
house square, as they are now doing,
without any water escapes at the bot
tom, it will stand and be safe.
Second-Why it would not be much
better to terrace the entire grounds with
granite or good cement steps from the
street up to the building? The cost
would be no greater at the start
If done in cement, and thereby
add greatly to the stately appearance
of the court house.
1t would never require the continual
expense as it will if set out to flowers
and trees, which will to some extent
hide the building from view, and be a
great and continual expense to the
county, to say nothing of the trouble OF
hiring men to care for it.

ANOTHER CASTAC KILLING.
An Indian Desperate Shot by
Officers


Officers.
News was received in this city yester,
day that Sefrino Acedo, an Indian, was
killed in the Castac cafion on Tuesday
night by Constable S. E. Pardee OF New
hall, and his deputy, Charles jenkins.
1t is said that Acedo had been on pro-
longed debauch, and had threatened to
kill his family. By some method his
wife managed to lock him out of the
house, and he laid siege to the place
building up camp fire in front. Acedo's
father had made his way to Newhall and
swore out warrant for his arrest, which
was given to the officers named to serve.
As they approached the place he was
commanded to throw up his hands, but
he replied by firing on the officers, who
promptly returned it, filling him full of
buckshot, killing him almost instantly.
1t is stated that the dead mans father
stood by the corpse and thanked God for
his death. Acedo is reported to have
been desperate of the worst type.

Danger of a Coal Famine.

MACON CRY, Iowa, Dec. 9.-It is said
there is not weeks supply of coal in
the hands OF dealers in Iowa, the Da-
kotas, Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas or
Nebraska. Miners are working on half
time, because OF the scarcity of cars.
The situation is not due to the negli-
gence OF the railways, but to the devel-
opment Of the west and the sudden de-
mand for coal caused by cold weather
at time when the cars were loaded
with grain. There is immediate danger
of serious coal famine.

THE KESTREL.
An Early Riser That Hunts Far
Into the Twilight Hours.

The kestrel is very early rises, and hunts
far into the twilight hours, frequenting the
neighborbeod of fields and rcks.. He is a
very handsome little bird, when viewed at
close quarters las you may sometimes view
him when feeding, with the smallest curved
beak ana talonS; his lovely red-brown mot
tied plumage enhanced in color by his gray
tail and white threat. When he appears at
this season of the year, quite consterna-
ton is excited in the rick-yards, and the
tYitter Of house sparTows soon merges into

that any OF these feathers were swallowed,

Kestrels collect for autumnal migration in
large fiocks around the south coast of
England; very considerable number, how
ever, remain with us through the year, dis
persing in pairs like other members of their
family, and are very frequently to be met
with in the springtime of the year.
The reason for the increase of these birds,
compared with the various specimens of
the genus Falco, is probably attributable to
the comparative inaccessibility of their
breeding places, as they prefer for the most
part old ruins, church towers and steep
cliffs.
