A MAD CAT.-Last Thursday
forenoon at Lock IL, some women
were attacked by a huge house
cat, and their screams brought
to their assistance a man named
COpenhaver, who gave the cat a
vicious kick, when it attacked him,
fastening its teeth and claws in his
leg above the knee, terribly biting
and Iaeerating his leg. Copenhaver
tried his best to shake it off, and
finding he could not, seized it by
the throat and tried to choke it 10
death Failing in this he drew his
pocket knife and literally severed
it's head from its body, and even
then had to take spike and pry
its teeth apart, before he could
loosen its hold. In slasbing at the
cat with his knife he also cut his
arm quite severely. DIR. Guthrie
was sent for and found him in a very
bad fix from the combat and is of
the opinion that the cat was suffer
ing from rabies.

The people were out Sunday
morning running down a mad dog,
and shooting all dogs they could
find, that were known to have
been bitten by the rabid animal.
The dog started on the run some
time during the night, and went
pretty we'll over the town. He was
known to have bitten some twenty
five dogs and two cows. Most of
the dogs that had been bitten were
killed either by citizens or their
owners. There are several yet
that were bitten that their owners
are secreting, hoping to save from
the general slaughter. The town
council should act promptly in rid
ding the town of the worthless dogs.
Owners should be compelled to
keep their dogs on their own prem
Uses, and when dogs are found run
ming at large on the street, they
should be dispatched. The pro
lection of the people is what the
council should deem their para
mount duty.

Our people are once more busy
blowing corn. The fair weather OF
the past three weeks having good
growing qualities, has given all
vegetation an unusal start, which
accounts for the earley work.
Wheat is booming and promises to
be equal to any crop that was ever
harvested in this county. Oats are
doing well, and potatoes look better
than they generally do at this
season. The good soaking rains of
the past few days will just make
things hump.

The people of Mason county
should take hold Of the question of
good roads in earnest and not rest
until we have ten or twelve miles of
maeadamized road in every district
in the county. Every farmer in
the county should rouse up,and be-
gin the agitation. Meetings should
be held in the school houses, clubs
formed and the campaign pressed
vigorously until something is ac-
complished. We can make one
hundred miles of road ard pay for
it besides keeping in repair the side
roads and yet not increase our taxes.
Is not this enough to win the sup
port of every farmers for good roads2
If the present road law stands in
the way wipe it off the statute
books.

Last Saturday evening the sad intelligence was received here of the death of Mrs. Schumacher al BlaisdeIl. Her death was not unexpected as she was suffering from a complication of diseases among them that of heart trouble, of which she is supposed to have died of. Dr. L. N. Moller inform ed us late the previous night that she was resting little easier but he did not think recovery in her case possible for she was completely broken down in health. Shortly after noon on Saturday last she sank into comatose condition from which she never recovered con- sciousness.
 The same evening MT. Milton went out on a handcar with zine lined casket and sealed up the remains preparatory to shipping Sunday mornings train bore them to Los Angeles, the home of her relatives, where they will be in- tered.

Last night shortly after 9 o'clock Fred Zeigenbein attempted to catch freight train No. 21, be- tween the car repairing shop and the water tank of the s. P. R. R, The train was moving along at a rapid rate and he was thrown be- heath the wheels of the running train. and as a result his right foot was cut off at the instep as was also his left just above the ankle. His face was considerably torn and bruised.
 The injured man came here from Los Angeles and was on his way to New Orleans, where he has a married sister, Mrs. c. Moeller.
 He was employed on the Mohave division of the s. P. R. R. as a section hand two weeks before the recent railroad strike, and previous to that time, had lived in San Francisco several years where he worked at his trade of blacksmith ing, making his home with Mir. Johnson, at 560 Howard street.
 Drs. Cotter and Moller were cal led and at ' o'clock this morning when the reporter of the SENTINEL called at the Sisters Hospital, where the unfortunate man had been conveyed, they were still with him administering reviving stim- ulants with the hopes that he would recover sufficiently that they could amputate the injured limbs. At that time it would have meant death to the injured man if an operation had been undertaken by them. The Doctors have serious doubts of his recovering. He was conscious and rational when we called and had given the doctors the few papers in his possession and the information regarding his identity. He has all the indica- tions of being an honest laborer, but like many of his class had lit tie money and no work and started to beat his way to his home and friends. with the sad results above related.

Thomas Depue, barkeeper in the Miners saloon, caused the arrest yesterday of E. R. Bassett, charging him with raising a check of the Harqua HGla Mining Go. from $4 50 to S4O.50. The job was a very clumsy one. Justice Kincaid held the prisoner to bail in $750. His examination was set for Wedaes- day at a, m.-Phoenix Gazette.
 Thos. Allen, manager of the Rarqua Hala mines arrived here Saturday afternoon. Sunday evening in company with Sheriff Greenleaf he went to Phoenix to appear as witness for the prosecution in the above case. On their arrival there they found that BasSett had been discharged by the Justice of the Peace for want of evidence. Both gentlemen returned Wednesday and the same evening Mir Allen took the train for the mines, NIT. Bassett on being dis charged let no grass grow under his feet but left the above city immediately, It was thought he would pass through this city and a warrant for his arrest was issued here, but so far he has failed to materialize.
