A family row, which has been in
progress down in Pleasant Valley for
some time, eliminated this week in the
arrest of w j. Dixon, an old man named
Kaiser and his son, all charged with the
larceny of a COW valued at SIS. In the
case against Dixon the Kaiser's were
the complainants, and i'm the case
against the Kaiser's the Dixon's signed
the complaint. Young Dixon was tried
before Judge Lewis. Thursday. s. f..
Wilson, OF Hot Springs, defending him,
and B. r. Wood conducting the prose
cution. The jury failed to agree. A
year or more ago young Dixon was
married to a daughter of old man
Kaiser, but the glamor Of the honey
moon did not last very long, and a few
weeks since husband and wife conclud-
ed TO separate. In dividing up the per-
sonal effects of the household the
former signifed his intention of taking
away with him IA COW which he said be-
longed to his father, but which had
been kept by the family ofDixon junior
prior TO the separation. The Kaiser's
claimed that young Dixon had made
his wife a present of the COW, and &C.
cordingly they proceeded 10 put their
brand upon the animal. Dixon junior
evidently did not look upon the brand
as the seal of eternal ownership and he
drove the cow away with him. The
result was as above stated-he was ar
rested on a charge Of larceny, and in
retaliation his father caused The arrest
Of the Kaiser's for unlawfully placing
their brand IN his COW. The question
at issue is, who owns the COW. and the
jury in the first case vas unable to solve
it. The other defendants. Kaiser and
son, are having their trial as the CHRoS-
ICLE goes to press.

The failure of a b. & NJ. engineer to
blow his engine whistle when approach
ing the crossing at the east end Of Gus
ter Avenue, came near costing Ii. +.
Lake his life a few evenings ago. Mr..
Lake was on his way home from a trip
down to the race course and drove up
the approach to the railroad track with
out thinking that it was about train
time. The horses nose wal within six
feet Of the rails when the afternoon
passenger train whirled by, having
glided down the grade SO noiselessly
that neither man nor horse was aware
of its presence until it was almost upon
them. The mettlesome little PAGER was
frightened into 2 frenzy, end inst as he
started to jump away from the passing
train, his driver jumped to the ground
and grasped the reins close to the
horses head. The cart was turned over,
| torn loose from the horse, and rolled
down the enbankment. Mr.. Lake was
somewhat bruised BY being dragged
over The rocks in his efforts to quiet the
horse, the harness vas torn to shreds
and the cart slightly damaged. The
engineer probably blew the whistle
when his train entered the town, but he
certainly did not at the crossing, and it
is almost a miracle that a terrible acct
dent did not result. The crossing is a
dangerous one at best, as trains may
come very close from either direction
without being seen by any n on the
EAST side approach. In coming down
the grade, especially, little or no noise
is made by the passenger train. and the
safety Of passers by requires that the
whistle should be blown long and loudly
just before the crossing is reached.

War has justly been declared on the
worthless dogs which infest this place,
and the probabilities are that there will
be no cessation of hostilities until a
large number of them have been ex-
terminated. Monday night a number
Of the CANNES which are evidently I'M
owned and without visible means Of
support, went from town ont to James
Reynolds ranch and made a raid on his
flock Of sheep. Before they could be
driven off they succeeded in killing
three of the sheep and crippling two
others. Mr.. Reynolds killed two Of the
dogs before they could get away, and
Tuesday morning he came to town and
laid in a stock of ammunition. He pro-
poses to slaughter every eur that shows
up in his neighborhood unless accompani-
ed by its owner, and if he does carry out
his threat the ammunition will be put
to an excellent use. Every dog in the
country that hasn't been taught to re-
main at home and attend strictly 10 its
own business is a nuisance that should
be abated. So say We all of us.
