The usual quiet "f Mnndav was dis urhed
by the report that the Benton coach had
been held up and the mail bag taken, u few
miles out Of town. Frank Mcdonald, "a boy
about eighteen years of age, who has been

ride, when the lntter drew "a revolver from
the cabhard attached to his person,
pointed it at the head of the driver and
said: Throw out that mail sack, and DE
quick about it, The boy complied with
the demand at once. The road agent TOOK
the sack and started toward the fouthill-
of the mountains. and the driver turned
around and drove back tn Lewistown and
gave the alarm. Sheriff Sullivan and Nels

there, and told him that he had shot

low the old sheep camp, to which place
Murry's band WAS shortly to be moved.
hurry had for some time been wanting to

with Sprague and Wovdlock about the mat

headquarters kept putting him OF from

Sprague was about eight feet away he shot
him in the left hip. hurry would not al

He also made Woodlock sharpen a lead

SCOTT'S SCALEBUG WAR.
THE HORTICULTURAL COMMISSION.
ER BEGINS HIS CAMPAIGN.
Ranch Owners Notified That They Must
Disinfect All Infected Trees-The
Circular Which Was Issued
Yesterday.

Horticultural Commissioner John
Scott and his assistants have inaugur-
ated a lively campaign against scale and
other pests, and are sending out notices
to all ranch owners in the county, noti-
fving them that they must at once dis
infect all infested trees, or else the same
will be done at their expense.
A circular letter was issued yes terday
as below:
At meeting of the board of supervis-
ors, July 2, 1892, Messrs. Cook and For
rester reported the result of their visit
OF inspection of fumigating apparatus at
Santa Ana, and made the following
recommendation
"We would, therefore, recommend
that tents and materials be purchased
by our horticultural commissioner, and
that he be instructed to fully enforce
the law"
On motion of Supervisor Davis, duly
carried: Resolved, That the report be
accepted and it's recommendations be
and are hereby adopted"
At meeting of the board August 2,
1892: Moved by Supervisor Cook, duly
seconded and carried: ssResolyed, That
John Scott, horticultural commissioner,
be, and he is hereby authorized and di-
rected to purchase for the use of the
county, in accordance with resolution
passed by this board on July 2. 1892,
for the enforcement of gassing trees,
two complete fumigating outfits of
thirty-hve tents each, various sizes,
with the necessary chemicals, and all
charges collected for the use of said
tents to be turned into the county treas-
ury."
In accordance with the above resolu-
tions, have purchased tents which will
be worked under the direction of the
district inspector. The work will be
done at actual cost, with the addition of
10 per cent for wear and tear OF outfit.
Distinction by fumigation is not COM
pulsory. Any person deciding to disin-
feet by spraying, etc., can do so provid-
ing the work done is satisfactory to the
commission. Any orchard which is not
disinfected within time allowed in no.
tice will be fumigated by the inspector,
and cost of such work collected as pro-
vided by law. | wish to call attention
to Sec. 2 of an act to protect and pro-
mote the horticulturists of the state.
CAS- amended 1891.)
The law referred to by Commissioner
Scott provides that neglected orchards
may be disinlected by the county, and
that the cost of 30 doing shall be lien
on the property. The commissioner
proposes to act vigorously against the
pests. and endeavor to clean up the en-
tire county.

pronounces the dispatch without any
foundation in fact. The dried fruit
market, he says, is active, with numer-
GUS inquiries from eastern buyers, in
fact q number OF eastern houses have
purchasers here on the ground. Prices
have not declined at all, but are firm.
All dried fruit produced here this year,
Mr.. Thayer says, will find ready sale at
good prices. He is at loss to account
for the dispatch in question, as it is in
total variance with the facts in the case.
