4 Tough Case.

Last Sunday two colored people
giving the names of Harvey and
Fanny Thompson, and claiming to be
man and wife, were arrested on war
rant sworn out by one Kit Carson,
white, charged with the stealing of
S25, while Carson was IN the company
of the woman Saturday night. The
Thompsons were jagged, pending an
examination before Justice Ogle on
Tuesday.
A search warrant was taken out,
and Sheriff Spencer and City Marshal
Ewalt, suspecting that the woman
had the money concealed about her,
stripped her completely nude, in the
presence of her husband and Con-
stable Dawson, in the jail, when they
found the money, which was in bills,
rolled up In small wad and secreted
in an uncomfortable position on her
person.
4 preliminary hearing was had be-
fore Justice Ogie Monday, and the
woman bound over 10 the district
court, while her male companion was
turned loose.
| There are numerous sensational re
ports afoat concerning the connection
of Carson. who is married man with
several children, with the negro wo
man, and the case promises to b
more sensational in the district cour
than it wss IN the Justices court
Thus far, many facts have been sup
pressed, and while it may be consid-
cred choice bit of sensation BY tn,
officers, the public is giving expression
to opinions that are not of a fatterine
nature.

It will do anyone good to drive
down to the Zutavern grove, just east
of the city limits, and see August
Hahn's irrigation plant. Mr.. Hahn
has d tract of some 10 to Is acres all
under ditch and planted to vegetables
Of all kinds, which are doing splendid
ly. He raises the water with a ro-
tary pump, and can food half acre
an hour with the water direct from
the we'll. His power is a threshing
machine engine, and he has a supply
of water that is inexhaustible In
stead of drive points he has dug a
well about s feet square and curbed
it with wood Then he put down a
smaller we'll to the second sheet of
water, putting into it perforated
pipe covered with guse wire. Mr.,
Hahn has had years of experience in
irrigating, in Colorado and New Mex
leo (being now interested in the lat
ter). He says half of successful ir-
rigation is being able to know when
to use and when not to use water,
and he seems to have learned the les

ing part of his ground the latter
part of this week.

Bicycle Riding and Health.

The bicycle is an old story, but some
still consider it an undignifed means
of transportation, or even dangerous
and unhealthy. DR.. John B. Richard
son has written most sensible article
in the Medical Record on the use of
the bicycle from professional stand
point, in which he takes a very mod
crate and conservative view of the sub
ject, and in no way shows himself to be
a prejudiced enthusiast.
Driving not only allows too little
exercise, but is too often the cause OF
indigestion, sleeplessness and many
other disorders due to lack of exercise;
while walking is too slow for man in
a hurry. The happy medium seems to
be a bicycle.
Great care is necessary to have a
machine that is suitable to the indi-
vidual rider. The handles must be in
the right place, and not so low that
stopping is necessary; the saddle re
quires especial attention, as an ill-ft-
ting saddle, or one at wrong angle,
causes great discomfort, and soon
WearieS.
Avoid riding like a jack-knife or in
uphill mouth-breathing may be neces-
sary but in general the mouth should
be closed, and long-distance runs can
only do harm. The pedals should be
far enough away to make the rider
stretch his legs out to full length
while riding, and the erect position is
the most healthful. DR.. Richardson
sums up as follows:
Rapid riding, or riding long dis
tances at rapid rate, is injurious in
many ways to every rider, unless grad
ual and careful training has been gone
through with that object. Gentle and
moderate bicycle riding increases vi
tality, improves and enlarges lung and
breathing capacity, develops the mus
cular (generaD as we'll as special sys-
TENS or sets, as also the hearts power;
increase the appetite and the powers
of digestion and assimilation, thereby
adding to capacity for life and increas-
ed longevity; stimulates action of skin,
and thereby eliminates more rapid
ly and perfectly effete materials
from the system, THUS aiding the kid
neys when they are temporarily un-
able to perform their functions per-
fectly or are organically diseased; is an
excellent means for mental and physi-
cal diversion; causes many indolent
persons and those who lead sedentarJ
lives to exercise more freely, being
pleasurable and easy to take aftei
mastering the machine; is one of our
best simple measures in the treatment
OF cases of insomnia; and last, but no,
least, is an agent in the moral culture
