Heapisw In.uIt Upon Injury.

At the last term of the Wake
county, N. G. Superior Court at RAJ
leigh, the following facts appeared: A
little half-grown bull was on the rail-
way track. He answered the whistle
of an approaching train with q below
Of defiance and q toss Of gravel over
his shoulder. A tramp who happened
to be close behind him stepped off the
track and waited to see the fun. The
engine struck the little bull fair,
doubled him up like q ball, and sent
him twenty-five feet as il shot from
Q catapult. The bull-ba made q line
shot and knocked the tramp in q little
pond near the road. When the engi-
neer backed the train TO take stock Of
the damage done, the tramp was
crawling up on a log out Of his invol-
untary bath. Under advice OF counsel
learned in the law, action was brought
against the railway corporation for the
personal injuries and indignity in
fiicted. On the trial, to the surprise
and intense disgust Of the plaintiff,
the verdict went against him. To a
sympathizing bystander he placidly
remarked that he had been "bowled
over into q goose pond by a little dirty
piney-woods bull, and that q dozen
jackasses had kicked him out of the
courthouse"

Big Irrigation scheme.

1t is rumored that an Eastern syn
dictate is making arrangements to
come to this State with a large colony
Of settlers, and put a big irrigation
project in operation, says the Carson
Appeal.
These people were first induced to
examine into Nevada's resources by
her exhibit at the Worlds Fair at
Chicago. and when they learned that
the State had taken first premium on
each article exhibited they became
very much interested, and realizing
what splendid chemical properties the
soil OF Nevada contained began a col
onizing scheme which is now nearly
completed.
The parties who have the matter in
hand are men Of large capital and pro-
pose TO put several thousand acres
under cultivation and place thrifty
families on them. 1t will take a good
deal of capital to do this and in a few
weeks their agent will be in Nevada
looking over the ground.

Bodie Robinson, everybody knows

one day last week, and started for
Bridgeport. The buck who owned the
pony overlook tim in Antelope valley

A Managers Economical Plan.

When the Debs -tie-ap came ON a
show train was stalled at Idaho Falls
on the Utah Northern. The manager
"jollied {" the crew up to pull the train
to Stuart, Montana, where, however,
they refused TO take it farther. There
was a stretch Of ten miles to Silver
Bow, where a connection would be
made with the Montana Union for
Anaconda and no amount OF pleading
would induce the striking trainmen to
move the train. A bright idea sug-
gested itself to one OF the managers
and taking the largest trained elephant
out OF the car, he defeated Deb's order
by getting him to push the train along
a level track nearly a mile where q
down grade was struck on which the
train ran Of its own accord to Silver
Bow.-Ex.

WRIT OF

An alternative Writ Of Mandate has
been issued by the Supreme Court Of
this State directed TO WIN. Spinner,
Auditor Of this county, commanding
him to issue q warrant in favor Of +.
X. McNamee, Justice Of the Peace for
Eureka Township, for his salary as
Justice, or TO show cause on the 9Th Of
September why he fails and refuses to
issue it.
The case is an important one, as we
understand Mr.. Spinner vetoed the
bill OF Mr.. McNamee for salary upon
the ground that the law under which
Mr.. McNsmse claims a salary is local
and special, and therefore unconstitu-
tionai. Upon the other hand Mr.. McNa-
NEE contends that under the Constitu-
ton the Legislature can pass local ard
special laws fixing the compensation
Of County and Township officers, and
il it cannot the law under which Mr..
Spinner and the other County officers
draw their salaries is local and special,
and therefore unconstitutional, and
that Mr.. Spinner and the balance Of
the officers will have to refund the
salaries drawn under il. Mr.. Spinner
is backed up in his Interpretation oil
the law by a carefully prepared and
elaborate opinion Of the District At.
torney.

The Winnipeg Free Press claims to
have clipped the following from a re-
cent number Of the London (England)
Chimes: General Coxey, the man
who raj for President in opposition to
the late Chauncey Depew, is leading
an army of Disconnected hobos on
Washington. Hobo is the political
pseudonym used to designate the
members Of the independent Repub-
lican party. General Coxey is a ma
tive of Yuba Dam, capital Of the State
Of Baltimore, and a journalist OF some
distinction, having edited the Con-
g~ressional Record, an influential paper
published in the Mormon interests OF
Boston, N. Y. His army has captured
the Delaware and Lackawanna rail-
road, which will afford transportation
through the Rocky mountains to
Fargo. where the troops will embark
in gondolas and sail down the Sus-
quehanna to Washington. AS the
President, Cornelius Vanderbilt, is
absent in Kentucky on a buffalo hunt.
attended by the regular army as a
guard of honor, grave apprehensions
are felt at Washington as to the pos
sible consequence Of Coxey's invasion
of that territory. If the Kickapoo
Indians should join him serious conse-
quences may ensue."

with a nugget now and then TO cheer
you and when the evening comes and
you count il up and find 1t q hundred
odd dollars or so just picked out Of the
earth that day-well, there's nothing
like it. Then when you don't strike
it you always think you're going to
every day, and it's just as exciting
hearing men tell in the evening what
they have pulled out rs it is counting
over your own. Why, I've been three
or four months at a time without max
ing a cent, and without a dollar in my

The Imperial bonanza.

The New Era says that the big
strike in the Imperial winze continues
to show an eight foot vein Of ~galena,
and the extra rich foot Of ore next TO
the hanging wall. which gave s104 in
gold, has increased to a foot and a half.
Just before noon Wednesday Is
buckets Of ore we're hoisted which
were 30 nearly pure metal that it is
estimated the weight OF each bucket
full was $50 pounds. The buckets are
raised over skids and by means OF
horse power attached to a whim. The
ore is raised to the surface, dumped
into a chute leading down to tunnel
No. 8. from where it is conveyed by
carmen to the bin near the mouth OF
the tunnel. The north drift is also
proving an interesting part in the mine
for the ledge is daily increasing in size,
and is ideal concentrating ore.

OAKLAND, Aug. 22.-The accounts Of
George w. Flick as guardian Of the
heirs OF the late William w. Nickals
we're Settled to-day, and on September
4th Mrs. Nickals' application to sue
coed him as guardian OF her minor
children will come up in court.
When William w. Nickals died
several years ago he left q large estate,
q wife from whom he had been es-
tranged and several minor children.
When the husband and wife sep
arated IL was supposed that she went
TO relatives in Germany. For several
years after his death all knowledge Of
her whereabouts was lost to her
children and to the administrator OF
the Nickals estate. A large share Of
the property was due to her, but no
distribution Of it could be made.
A daughter, Miss Jennie Nickals,
when she became of age, married a
man named Robinson against her
guardians consent. The young hus-
band began TO trace the absent mother
and found her living in New York
city. Mrs. Nickals returned to Oak
land and lie o with her children.

stone Inot fOretelib tne WeotneFs
Mention is made of q remarkable

by the name OF semakuir. II is said

preaching rain, while in fine weather
il is mottled with spots Of white.
1t is stated that for a long time this
interesting phenomenon was n of
inexplicable character, but that, on
ar analysis Of the stone. it was shown
to be a fossil mixed with clay and CON
tanning a portion Of rock salt and nitre.
The fact being known, an explanation
Of the changes in the appearance Of
the material becomes an easy matter
the salt, absorbing the moisture,
turns black when the conditions are
favorable for rain, while the dryness
OF the atmosphere must as naturally
bring out the salt from the interior of
the stone in white spots on the surface.

Tobacco Causes Loss OF Memory.

Those annoying and unaccountable
lapes of memory experienced when
one is unable to recollect some well
known word or the name Of some per-
fectly familiar friend are attributed by
a French Psychologist to the excessive
use of tobacco. This gentleman has
observed that aphasia and amnesia are
at present almost unknown among the
gentler sex. On the other hand, he
has nearly invariably found these af-
hictions common in men who are
habitually heavy smokers, while in
cases where they are only of rare &C.
currence he has frequently known the
extraordinary lapse to have been pre-
coded by an exta dose OF the fragrant
weed. 1t is comforting, however, to
be assured by the same authority that
a moderate use of pipe or cigar is in
no way harmful to the memory

In an area of about fifteen miles
square below Trout creek there is esti-
mated to be a band of at least 700
wild horses, which are not only eating
off the range, but becoming a more
direct source Of loss to stock wners.
As an instance of this it may be
mentioned that a mare belonging to
George Barclay and valued at $3.50,
together with a valuable FLY, were en-
ticed into the band recently.
The government, so far, though sew
eral times petitioned, seems indisposed
to tackle the wild horse question or
give permission to settlers to shoot
down these miserable cayuses, think.
ing that they are all claimed by the
Indians.
The Indians, however, are as much
injured by them as the whites, and
frequently shoot them down, though
certainly claiming some among them.
All false sentiment should be put aside

given for a general roundup by both
whites and Indians, to take place at a
stated date. II this is allowed the
wild horse farce will be put an end to
