Side Hunts For "Varmints {"

The Tacoma Rifle, Rod and Gun club
had side hunt recently, i'll which only
''yarmintS' were killed. By tvarmints"
they meant anything that was deadly to
any recognized game. They chose sides
Of eight each, and the hunt lasted seven
days, on five Of which the weather was
drlzzly and wet. Here is what they
killed; One weasel, 58 crows, 2 mag
pes, coons, 9 owls, 8 minks. l eagle,
81 skunkS, hawks and wildcats.
There was a time when side hunts
were extremely popular, everything
counting, from game to vermin, and it
was usually the game heads that counted
most, but now that there is SO little
game It IS no longer popular to kill for
count, because it savers too much Of
killing for price Vermin hunts have
oeen recorded in increasing numbers
from time to time for some years back,
while squirrel hunts are rapidly going
out of favor
They held a squirrel hunt lasting one
oay up IN Herkimer county once. All
Inc kinds Of squirrels they have there
are red and ground squirrels, and being
mlownter the ground squirrels were all

tabIished In New York.
It is more than possible that the in
ternational headquarters Of the Saliva
ton Army will shortly be transferred
from London to New York. 1t is under
stood that such move is contemplated
to offset the feeling in America that the
Army is an English institution, founded
and conducted upon English principles.
Commander Booth Tucker, the new
head of the Army in this country, prac-
tically acknowledged this fact recently.
Darlington Booth, ever since his de-
parture from the Salvation Army, has
dwelt upon the English origin of the
Army and emphasized the fact that the
Volunteers is an American institution
At the same time attention was dl-
rected to the commanding officers OF the
Salvation Army. Every one OF them,
who occupied a position Of any respon-
sibility is foreigner.
The keen general saw that his son
was making point that would be ap-
preciated by the American people. New

concerning President Cleveland and

DR.. Fearon is a pronounced silver

stated that the government might as

WERE BEARERS OF DISPATCHES
Gomez Will Probably Soon Put Into
Execution a Course of Def
mite Action.

Kingston, Jamaica, July 10-An
officially recognized rumor has been
current in Kingston that Spanish
warship recently secretly landed a
force at Dry harbor to kidnap Cuban,
alleged to be the chief mover in fill
clustering expedition,
This place is conveniently situated
at lonely spot near Dry harbor. In
the neighborhood are many of the old
Spanish ruins, in the secret cellars OF
which it is known that the Cuban in
surgents have from time to time hid
den arms and shipped them off to Cuba
at their leisure, defying the native de-
teotives, who have always failed to To-
cate these store places.
Matters stood thus when few days
ago just before daylight an open boat
with eleven men arrived just off Runa-
way bay on the north side of the island.
The boat had come from Cuba, and
those on board were Captain t. Prado,
Senior Zelamoa, j. F. Lumones, r.
Magarro, P. Forma, g. LAWS. M.
Laro, P. p Morales, servant and two
reporters for American papers, They
had come, it subsequently transpired,
with dispatches from Antonio Maoeo
for the Cuba junta here.
Three of the men were put ashore at
Runaway bay with instructions to
make their way with all speed to
Kingston, on the opposite side of the
island. The men travelled by road and
reached the railroad line at the Ewar-
ton station. When about to board the
train the three were arrested by po-
lice sergeant and taken to Dry harbor.
The medical authorities ordered the
men and police who arrested them and
the driver of the conveyance from
Ewarton to Dry harbor to be placed in
quarantine. Senior Ronden, president
of the junta and couple of prominent
Cubans finally went over to Dry har-
Dor, but were not permitted to approach
closer than 100 yards from those quar-.
antined.
They carried on a conversation in
Spanish with the messengers, who
brought reports of the recent battle in
Puerto Principe. They spoke of the
position Of the insurgents as excellent.
The organization and discipline of
the Cuban force left nothing to be de-
sired, and Havana was at their mercy,
they said, but without feet they
could not hold'it, and nothing there
fore was to be gained by an assault
upon it just yet.
1t was gathered that the Cuban gen
erals had decided upon course of
definite action with view Of forcing
matters.
The dispatches which the men
brought are also understood to bespeak
the assistance of Cubans in Jamaica.
1t is said the dispatches have reference
to coup de main that Gomez Is pre-
pairing, and which will startle the
world in short time.

man, was killed.
1t seems that the water had washed
away the bank, leaving the rails and
ties in place. The engineer in the
dark did not notice this, and ran into
the fatal spot, with the result that the
enigne and eight cars went into the
river. Engineer Carey and Fireman
Coughlin jumped and escaped with
few minor injuries, but Brakeman
Dearden was never seen again, and is
probably buried beneath the wreckage
in the river.
Reports from Fraser river points
state that the river is steadily rising.
At Chilliwack considerable damage has
been done to crops on low lands, and
the steamer Gladys has been busily en-
gagged for the past few days in running
cattle and settlers effects to high
ground.
Nicemen island is also suffering from
high water, and all down the river on
both sides, wherever the low levels are
not fully protected by high dikes, they
are under water.
The Mission City towrsite will also
be under water in many parts if the
hot weather continues. At New
Westminster the water at high tide Is
two feet two inches below the mark

Oregon City, July 1O.-This was

leging it to be the freest and most
healthful of employments, and the
most independent and enuobling OF
vocations. The chief horticultural
problem he considered was that Of get
ting big price for the products of the
orchards, and his remedy for low prices
applied as well to other products OF the
farm as to the fruits. Itwas to produce
the very best, and thereby make a
reputation, that would counterfeit the
depressing influences Of hard-times

ample two raisers Of potatoes on large
scale near Candy, who always receive
more than the market price for their
product because their brand assures an
article of superior quality and most
careful selection.
In the afternoon Hon. Mortimer
Whitehead gave lecture on "Organ-

first man was farmer, and that all
the great movements that had resulted
in the permanent benefit OF the human
race had been started by men close to
the soil. Among the pending reforms
which he claimed to have been suggest

requiring foreigner to reside in this

could become citizen had their origin
with the farmers in the Grange.

fishermen working for Gilmore, reap.
peared in this city today after an alb
sence Of several days, having been
brought in from the lightship. Their
boat was capsized ON Thursday night,
when number Of men ventured too
far out and were caught in q heavy

one capsized, and he and his companion
managed to cling to the upturned craft
until seen by the men on board the
lightship, when they were quickly
rescued. Both boat and net were lost.
Their escape from death was a narrow
one, and was only due to the fact that
they reached the vicinity of the light
ship about daybreak.
The coroner today brought down
from Bear creek the body of Samuel
Farley, who died in a drunken spree.
The man, with several companions, had
a gallon jug Of whisky, and in the

MAHER-C HOYNSKI FIGHT.
1t Will Be Pulled on In San Fran
cisco.


cisco.
San Francisco, July 10 San Fran.
cisco is to have another big glove con.
test. By the general run of sports il is
considered about equal in Importance
to the Corbett-Sharkey four-round
affair, for though neither of the prin.
cipals occupies as exalted position in
the world Of pugilism as Pompadour
Jim, their average of excellence as
fighters is superior to any that might
have been struck from the combined
regulations of Corbett and the sailor
prior TO their recent meeting.
The men who will figure in the com.
ing contest are Joe Choynski and Peter
Maher. They had almost arranged to
settle the question of superiority in
New York, when J. j. Groom, of the
National Club, of this city, stepped in
with an offer that was liberal enough
to turn the thoughts of the rival heavy.
weights toward San Francisco.
Groom has agreed to furnish purse
of $4,000 for an eight-round match, to
take place on the evening of August s..
The arrangements hung fire some days
owing to Groom's absence at Glen Ell.
len, and in the meantime John j.
Quinn, of Pittsburg, who handles
Maher, and Parson Davies, Of Chicago,
who directs the fortunes Of Choynski,
kept the wires tingling in a vain en-
deavor to locate the enterprising sport
promoter who had unfolded such
visions of wealth to their managerial
eyes.
For short while yesterday matters
looked desperate. Quinn, who had
sent several kilograms in this direction
and received no answer, wired Davies
in Chicago that he considered that the
National Club was amusing itself at
the expense Of the fighters. Davies
thereupon sent dispatch here saying
that if arrangements were not conclud-
ed forthwith New York would get the
mill.
Groom arrived FROM Glen Ellen in
the midst of the long distance turmoil,
and Immediately hunted up Eddy
Greeny, the local representative Of
Choynski. Groom stated his offer Of
$4,000 still held, AMI that he would
deposit two sums of 81 900 each in the
bank to remunerate Choynski and Ma.
her respectively in case he failed to put
the men into the ring. This was
deemed satisfactory, and it is under
stood that Maher and his manager Will
take the train for this city without de-
lay. Choynski is already here, and
his manager, Parson Davies, will ar
rive in the course of a week.
The match is considered a top-notch
affair, as the men are dashing fighters,
and are about on par as regards their
fstic ability.
