Made a BaIky Horse Draw.

A few days ago one of our transfer men was driving up De Queen street with a load of goods and one of his horses baked and refused to go. Af- ter half hour spent in fruitless eff forts to make him pull the load, George L1ckhart, the city scavenger, who was standing near, picked up from pile Of ru ubbish as trong piece of cord about ten feet in length and re- mark ng q can make de hoss pull but yon won't beiebe it, walked out and placed the cord around one of the horses front legs just below the fet- locks and began to pull, at the same time drawing the cord back and forth with each hand. 1t only took few ''sawings" of the cord on the horses leg to cause him to get right down and pull and the cord being dropped the horse went right along with the load The crowd voted It a clever way to cause baked horse to go.

 Later the dog-catcher called on W II. Madison to collect tax on Mrs Maddison's little house dog, and was informed that when he caught the dog away from the house to put it in the pound and then the tax would be pald. The dog catcher thereupon started in search of the dog and was rewarded by meeting Mrs Madison on the street nea.' the post-offfce with her iit- tie dog at her side He stopped he. and after q few words stopped to pick up her pet when she gave him push that sent him rolling into the gutter She then gathered up her pet and hur- ried home
 Mr. Madison has since been ar. rested and fined one dollar and costs for harboring dog He has appealed tAe case and believes he can defeat it.

 "A man down in the wilds of Barnes county claims to have invented a steam gopher stabber and potato bug assassinator, with rotary steam augur attachment for use in winter time for trnneling from house to barn and out houses under snow, and travelling to market carrying mail, digging pota- tos and writing entertaining articles for the Valley City Alliance"
 So you people have to go through a tunnel in the winter time in order to visit each other, and yet you shoot your sarcastic shafts at Arkansas and try to prejudice sensible people against it, although you know nothing about this beautiful and God loved country.
