time ago the directors of the corporation were
fined $500 for contempt for disobeying in-

has not yet been issued. This morning At
torney Charles Hanlon, who represents the
plaintiffs entered his bill of costs, which, on
motion of ex-Superior Judge o. p. Evans, coun-
sci for defendants, Judge Hebbard ordered

cution in the matter OF the 500 fine. This
astonshed Han,on. who asked If Evans had not
promised him that if the bill of costs was not
pressed Evans clients would pay the fiae.
Evans denied having stated. whereupon
Haulon called him liar. The ex-judge retail
ated by shooting his right fist into Hanlons

latter a liar. They asked that the order com
mitting them 10 Jail be vacated, which Judge

the fine should be pad. The two attorneys
drew their checks for the amount and, address
ing each other in friendly fashion, left the

A New Use for Ears.

In the old days in Western Pennsyl- vania. when the people had little money to pay for teachers. and could spare their boys but little time from the work of the field school kept almost necessarily during the few weeks when it was in session. with no Saturday holidays and very brief re- cesses. At one little school house among the mountains an old-fash- toned Irish school master was once employed who kept his boys grinding steadily at their tasks. but gave them permission to nibble from their lunch baskets sometimes as they worked. One day. while the master was in structing class in the rule of three he noticed that one of his pupils was paying more attention to piece of apple pie than to the lesson.

 which the Driver Had Fallen.
 A lady whose name we are unable to learn met with startling adven- ture while travelling on the stage. near sioulton's station. very early ono morning recently. says the Susanvillo, Cal, Mail. The lady resides in M0n- tanaL and, with her five-year-old daughter was on her way to visit her parents. who reside near Ft BidwelL Arriving at Amedee. the remainder of the trip must be travelled by stage coach. Herself and daughter con stituted the passengers. and, as tho night was extremely cold blustry and disagreeable she preferred riding on the inside of the coach
 Before leaving Amedee the cur tains were all fastened. The coach rumbled along all right for miles. the horses were changed. and nothing un- usual transplred until Madeline plains were reached. when suddenly the dri- yer fell from his seat and the team continued drieerless on toward the next station. The lady soon realized her plight and endeavored to vacate the coach as expcditiously as possi- ble. but the curtains were fastened on the outside. Possessed with great presence of mind she hastily took her penknife and cut the fastenings and thus secured an avenue to reach terra frma.
 Her first move was to drop the lit- tie girl from tho coach as gently as possible and then she followed alight- ing in safety. After running short distance she managed to stop the horses, and placing the child on the seat the lady mounted the coach and drove on to the Moulton station. A relief expedition was sent out after the driver. who was met beating his weary way into the station.
 It seems tho jehu had become sleepy or something of the kind. and losing his equilibrium had fallen overheard. Another driver less sleepy was found at the station who continued on the journey. Fortunately the team hap pened to be very gentle otherwise tho adventure might not have terminated as luckily. The lady displayed great nerve and coolness. and it is due to that fact that herself and little daugh. ter escaped fearful fate.

 An old wolf who had become deaf and blind from the weight of years having occasion to make journey through the forest caused one of the young ones to go before him. taking the young ones tail in his mouth to guide him.
 In this way the old wolf made very good progress through the woods; but a passing hunter. seeing the strange procession fired at the young wolf.
 The shot missed his body but cut of the young wolfs tail, and the ani- nal greatly frightened ran of as fast as his legs could carry him.
 The old wolf who, of course had neither heard nor seen anything of the affair. stood wondering what the young one was waiting for. Where- upon the hunter came up and taking tho young wolfs detached tail in his hand. started home with it.
 The old wolf trotted along content edly after him. and the villagers see- ing the hunter enter the village with the beast in tow. were greatly aston ished. The wolf was placed in cap tivity and died soon after And the villagers have ever since repeated to strangers the story of this wonderful which the strangers are at liberty to believe or not as they please.

MORTON, THE HUSTLER.
He Returns to Santa Fe to Resume the
Shipment of Home Grown
Fruits.

John Morton, who did so much to
promote the success Of the Santa Fe Or
chardist and gardener last season, return
ed to the city last evening and to-day re-
sumed business at his old stand, south
side of the plaza.
For four months past Mr.. Morton has
been travelling through Colorado, and one
feature of his business has been to estab-
lish agencies for the handling of Santa
Fe fruits. In nearly every'town OF i'm
portance from Denver south he has made
such arrangements as will enable him to
do even larger business here this year
than last. His first order under this new
arrangement goes forward on Monday via
the D. & R. G. express and consists OF
100 baskets of apricots. He will make a
specially OF handling grapes, peaches and
apples.
Mr.. Morton says Santa Fe fruit growers
need never fear of producing more fruit
than they can find market for. He finds
great demand in Colorado cities and
mining towns for this fruit because OF its
superior quality, and the fact that it can
be picked and placde before these foreign
consumers in twenty.iour hours time If
also an important point.
Colorado is to-day consuming all OF her
own fruit products, worth 500, 900, ano
So, 100000 worth besides. Mr.. Morton
says the Santa Fe valley can in Colorado
find permanent market for 81 900 zoo
worth OF fruit annually, which is abou
ten times the amount now produced here
