A SHOT GUN

In the Hands of w. e. Sefton's Son,
Creates Havoc Among Dogs and Cats.
Complaint comes from the vicinity of
the residence of w. L. Seton on South
Cleveland avenue that Sefton's boy,
younRster of about sixteen summers, is
making himselfo bnOxious by the very free
use of a shot gun. 1t is stated the indica'
tions are that the youth has orders to shoot
everything that comes upon the place.
At all events neighbors claim
that cats, dogs, chickens and other
livestock that happen to get into the
Seton lot seldom return. The latest act
that is charged to the boy was the shootr
ing of pet dog belonging to Mr.. John h.
Poyser, next door neighbor. The dog
had been chasing a rat about home and
the miscreant ran over on Sefton's lot to
get away. The dog followed in hot pur-
suit, and, as the story goes, young Seton
popped out of the house and blazed away
with his shotgun at the dog. The little
fellow was bit but not killed, and he ran
off yelling with pain. 1t is said the youth
made no effort to dispatch the canine but
left him to suffer after he was shot. The
CAGE Is being investigated and an arrest
for cruelty to animals may result.

Senator Stewart Deserts the @. O. 2.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Senator Stew
art of Nevada refused to attend the Re-
publican caucus yesterday. This created
quite sensation on the Rep. side Of the
Senate. He had been invited and his de-
clinatiou indicates that he will no longer
act with the party with which he has been
associated so long. He may merely take
neutral position, but it is very probable
that he will mako complete transfer OF
his allegiance to the Democratic party.
Should this be the case the Republicans
will have to capture all the doubtful
Senators in the west To retain their grip
upon the Senate.

savages Strengthening Deer.


Game Warden Taylor came In recently
from the lower country, where he has
been kept busy driving the Indians out
Of that section. Mr.. Taylor reports that
the Utes have been playing sad havoc
with the game, slaughtering wherever
they could. He was very indignant
over it, and from his version of the mat
ter he has good reason to be. He states
that from the Iron springs divide to Vel
low creek it Is impossible to travel a
hundred yards without finding the bod
les Of deer lying around, and in most
cases nothing but the hides and brains
have been taken, the brains being used
by the Indians in the process Of tanning.
On Blue mountain and IN the Lilly park
sections the rotting carcasses can be
seen, while on Snake river they are so
thick as to absolutely poison the air.
Warden Taylor estimates that since
the deer began to travel down the Utes
have killed between 5000 and 5000 OF
them, and what makes matters worse
the major portion Of them are does and
fawns, the bucks always remaining Ia
the upper country till later in tho fall.

We have been shown by Mr.. and Mrs.
John Graves q unique and interesting
relic Of the civil war In the shape of 4
half gallon jar Of peach preserves which
were made in 1862 Tho relic was given
to Mr.. and Mrs. Graves, Oct. "a, 1901. By
Mrs. Wash Roberts, Of Rocheport, and
its history Is as follows: In 1851 John
Roberts Joined the Confederate army
along with Ben. Sam and Jack Ray.
brothers Of Mrs. Roberts. In 1862 this
lady and her sister-in-law, Mrs. John
Roberts, were together putting up pre-
serves, je1lies, etc. They filed some jars
which they agreed not to open until their
brothers and husbands should return
safe from the war.
It turned out that John Roberts was
killed, and Is they did not all come back,
the ladies' did not open their preserves.
Time rolled on. Mrs. John Roberts moved
to California, where she married again
and became the mother Of several chill
dren and Is now dead. Recently Mrs.
Wash Roberts concluded she would send
some Of these preserves to these children.
