IL was rumored on the streets Thursday morning that Deputy Sheriff Ewing, while arresting some drunken Inians during the night. had mortally wounded two of the miscreants, while the Indians in re- taliation had crippled two or three white men to such an extent that they had been earned from the field on improyised stretchers. The town was agog with astonishment and everyone was eagerly seeking to obtain the details of the narrowing tragedy. No one seemed posted on the affair, however, and 1t was some time before the matter was sifted down to plain statement of facts. Ii appears that a Chimehueva In
 dian, who has been palming himself of as a Mexican, and thereby ob- taining whisky from the saloon Keepers, had obtained supply of the fiery liquid and proceeded to make himself drunk and obnoxious. He attempted to enter the residence of J. NJ. Teeter, opposite the coal chute, and on being driven away from there by Mr. Tceter, went over and started to do up Armstead Smith, the coal heayer. \ few we'll rounded sentences from the old colored man, however, caused the Indian to desist and leave Mir. Smith in possession of the field. In the meantime MT. Teeter had notified Sheriff Ewing, who immediately started after the bellig- erent to arrest him. The Indian started to run when called upon to surrender and Sheriff Ewing fired a couple of shots over the head of the fleeing redskin to scare him, but the only effect of the shots being an acceleration of the speed. Henry, seeing that the only way of stopping his man was by winging him with bullet, took one shot at him in earnest. In a few seconds, the sheriff heard something 'drap' accompanied by rattling of chaps, and, on reaching the spot from whence the sounds proceeded, found that his prisoner had fallen over a wagon tongue and almost broken his neck. Blood was flowing from a wound on the Indians head, caused by his striking large rock in fall ing. Ewing, with the assistance of Geo. Brunette, took him to jail and locked him up, where he now Ian guishes. Mohave Miner.

His Choice.

An amusing parallel to the famous story of Il prefer the gout" comes from Newcastle Though matters are almost as mitch at ebb there as they can be in the way of trade, ale is still flowing. A collier who had q very bad leg was plainly told by his medical attendant that his love of drink was the cause of his disease, and that he must either give up his ale or lose his leg. He had no more hesitation about the alternative than had Tennyson's Northern Farmer in a similar predicament.
 If this ere leg wlnna stand drop O good ale I'll hae nowt to do wi it. Of wi itl"-London Tit Bits.

A Bit of Comment.

The best comment on grasshoppers as diet was made by an old farmer of Kansas, who, when told by an en- tomologist that grasshoppers could be eaten-for John the Baptist lived on locusts and wild honey-replied: Well, John the Baptist might have done that, for those were days of miracles, and l reckon man could eat almost anything then, but if he lived nowadays he have to be fitted out with different kind of a stomach to enjoy these 'hoppers.

How Hughes Nominated Cleveland


 The Tombstone Prospector gi,es the following version of Cleveland's nomination: ''C. NJ. Bruce relates to the Prospector story told him by one of the Tammany braves whom he chanced to meet on a re- cent trip to Nevada. After break fast a number of gentlemen adjourn ed to the smoking-room of the sleep CT to enjoy their Hayanas. NIT. Bruce was there, and after an ex- change of good mornings, conver- sation about Cleveland's nomina- ton came up. Finding that MT. Bruce was from Arizona, he asked him if he knew an editor down there by the name of l.. C. Hughes, which was answered in the atfirma- tive. The gentleman then related the following story: I am, he said, a loyal member of Tammany Hall and went to the Chicago conven- ton in Hiirsintarests. On the first and only ballot the poll had reach ed Arizona and We saw that unless LHe ATlZDnd ocASSdNiOh ohNa WI members of New Mexico did not vote against Mir. Cleveland he was a winner. and we concentrated our forces on Hughes, who had a pocket full of proxies.
 "'The confusion was so great just at that moment that the call of Arizona could not be heard. We tried to get at Hughes. but every time a Hill delegate would ap- proach him he would jump up on his seat and wave flag and shout for Cleveland. He acted like crazy man. He was the most valuable man on the floor just then, and, d-n him. he broke us all up when be cast his votes for Cleveland And he brushed the ashes from his cigar as he thoughtfully said: Who would have thought the nomination rested upon an Arizona editor.

Remarkable Surgical Operations.

OF the many results OF the rapid stride,
which science has made Is the remarka-
BILE skill which medical men have brought
to bear upon difficult aud dangerous sur
gical operations. 1t was not many years
ago when it was thought improper to
,'-Ta,ie Operations upon the human body,
vas At the steady onw,ri march OF human
progress has given surgeons such a
knowledge of the human anatomy that
they are now enabled to perform fcats
which formerly worid have been credited
to witch craft aud the blaclI art.
At the annual meeting of the Welsh
branch OF the British Medical Associa.
/ tion DIR. DImar Harrison gave au account
OF an operation he had performed upon
| a boy, which he claimed to be unique.
The boy had the misfortune TO cut his
wrist with plate glass, which caused him
to lose all sense of feeling in the hand
and was followed by complete paralysis.
The lads wrist was laid open and it was
found that portion Of the nerve about
two inches in length was entirely de-
struycd. \ young cat was obtained and
chloroformcd aud Immediately after
death the surgeon cut nerve out of the
hind leg. The nerve was then wrapped
in IA cloth soaked in warmed cirbollc To-
ton aud atterward connected with what
remained of the boys nerve. The re-
suit was most gratifying. Sensation re.
turned and the boy was cured.
An equally interesting and successful
operation was performed upon a boy who
had swallowed fish hook. lie tried to
release it by pulling upon the line, but il
had become firmly attached in the lower
and back part of the throat. A medical
man was called in aud he procured pis'
tol bullet and bored hole through it,
1t was then allowed to slide down oveI
the line TO the hook. The weight OF
the bullet dislodged the hook, which
sticking in the lead and being protected
by it, was safely removed. Washington

Where the Load is the Heaviest.

1t depends on the kind of road
whether the load should be heavier on
the fore or hind wheels of wagon. On
a smooth road the heaviest part OF the
load should be toward the front, but
when the road is soft or rough iS should
be on the hind wheels. The larger the
wheels the easier load is lifted over the
rough spots or the stones on a road,
because the leverage of the spokes,
which are longer in u wide wheel, raises
the weIgbt with more ease. There is no
lifting of the load on II smooth, level
road, but a sliding motion Of the box Of
the wheel on the axle. Aud the smoother
the wheel works on the axle the lighter
is the draught, But when the wheel
comes to stone or hill, or works in
mud in which it sinks, the load must be
lifted bodily over the obstruction. New
