near that gentleman's house, and was
for some time unnoticed. This week Mr..
Kinney was clearing up the sagebrush on
his land and attempted to pick up the
sack to throw on the pile Of brush. Il
WAS unsccountably fast to the ground,
howsver, and on examination 1t was
found that a potato vine had sprouted
from q small cutting, grown out through
small hole and reached q good size.
Roots from the cutting had entered the
ground and in the sack were found eight
potatoes small and three good sized,
one OF which weighed about one and one
half pounds. Water was obtained by
seepage from small ditch near by, and
1t is supposed the sack afforded protection
to the tubers. The start was no doubt
made from the residue OF soil from the
sound extraordinary, but the sack and
potatoes are at this Office and Messrs.
Kinney and Natwick are prepared to
make oath OF the truth OF the statement.
Mr.. Kinney wants to know II the soil is
not king, rather than irrigation, but we
think the palm must be awarded the lat.
ter, since without it the soil will produce
but little.
Col. Hewlett ststes to a HERALD re-
porter that he is the victim of an ambus-
cade in the shape OF an interviewer whose
dispatches went to the Post Iateihgeacer
and the Spokesman Reriew recently. He
says he has never been interviewed by
an avowed correspondent OF either, and
decidedly objects to being brought out as
candidate for the United States senate
without his consent He states he has
never seriously considered the possibility
nor does he wish to be quoted as Tor or
against either of the candidates in the
field. He is personally friendly to both
and politically indebted to neither, and
objects to any ambuscades or distortions
of friendly conversation. He wants it
understood that he is not and never has
been candidate for the senate.
Samuel Dusenberre says he "played a
star engagement" with Warden Coblentz
in fixing up the penitentiary steal. That
is good. Now, when the light.fingered
Samuel's first term in the pen expires, he
should be arrested on another small part
of that 10000 and made to wear the
stripes again. He seems to be utterly
vicious. His acquaintance here are dis
gusted with such actions, and feel that
his crookedness should not be overlooked.
A man who is so depraved as to commit
crime in prison while serving time,
must be peculiar individual, and one
whom it is unsafe to have at large.
