little strange about the value of mixed
feeds. For instance, when fed to pigs OF
100 to 125 pounds weight. a bushel OF
shelled corn will produce ten pounds OF
gain, and 100 pounds of skim milk will
produce five pounds of gain. That
means when feds nparately the two
feeds will produce fifteen pounds OF

they will produce eighteen ponds.

An important law was passed by the
legislature Of 1895 providing that every
foreign corporation, except insurance
and manufacturing companies and

authorized to do business in this state
by the general amendment of 1892 to

shall pay a like license fee for the

There is one argument which can
be properly advanced by tax referlners
in behalf of the law described by the
Tribune, and that is, that when the
state is able to obtain sufficient reven
ne under this law to meet its expendi-
lures, without calling on the different
counties to make up the deficit, it will
then be difficult for our rural friends
to find a reason for opposing home rule
in taxation, and we may look for the
speedy passage of the local option tax
bill, and the consequent relief from
our present burcensome personal prop.

On last Monday evening Mr..
Chas. Cropp and a German he had
employed as a baker got into a
quarrel at the residence of the lat
ter on the outskirts of town. The
German had been drinking and was
In a quarrelsome mood. Cropp was
engaged in repairing fence at his
house at the time and had a hatchet
in his hand, with which, it is
charged, he struck the baker on top
of the head making a very serious
wound, and the baker in turn, drew
his revolver, a small twenty-five
callbre, and shot Cropp in the back
as ne was retreating into the house.
The German then mounted a
horse and started for town but at
the intersection of the Oakland and
Accident roads he fell from the
horse and was later discovered by
Justice Gonder who assisted him to
remount the animal and he came on
to Oakland for medical aid.
In the meantime Mr.. Cropp, who
was more frightened than hurt, had
made circuit of the neighbors for
aid and relief, and finally came also
to town when he swore out a war;

on the charge Of assault with intent
to kill. The warrant was served
and the German taken to Jail, al

Forged A SIGNATURE.

IL. Emile Knipper, young man
who has been residing in Cumber-
land for some time past, was ar
rested at Deer Park at 1920 o'clock
last Friday night on the charge of
forging the name of his uncle.
August Knipper, on negotiable
note.
Mr.. Knipper knew nothing of the
forgery until Thursday, when he
was notified by the bank officials
that the note was due, and upon
his looking at the signature he at
once pronounced it forgery. The
amount of the note was for $75 and
was negotiated about six months
ago.
Mr.. W. D. Paisley, of Cumber-
lana, who advanced the money,
conducted the entire investigation
by himself, and located Knipper
within "a hours after he knew the
signature was forgery.
He was taken before Magistrate
HoYe, of Deer Park, and in default
of bail was committed to the Oak
land jail for action of the grand
jury. Knipper has a wife and one
child, and for them the occurrence
is a very serious one.

and two horses lost their lives by
burning to death. Mr.. Isaiah Bow
man was engaged in hauling tan
bark to Crellin, and while passing a
patch of old pine tops that had been
cut down discovered that they were
on fire. His horses became blinded
by the dense smoke so that they
were unmanageable. They ran
down an embankment by the road
side right in the midst of the fire
and in trying to extricate them
Mr.. Bowman's clothes cought on fire
and before he could get the flames
extinguished his flesh was burned to
the bones, so that he died in few
