precipitation of Mondays fight and took active part therein. The seven teen gathered, ten of whom were un- der age, were hustled into box car and locked in, the car being picked up at Mammoth Tank by the west bound passenger at o'clock. Sheriff Green leaf, deputies Jones and Barker, the latter of San Diego county, went on with their charges to San Diego. The posse and train crew took coffee in the section car, after which Sheriff Greenleaf, who had taken up a posi- tion on the hurricane deck of a box car during the ceremony of picking out the guilty seventeen, announced that those who wanted work could begin at once. The herd lost no time in preparing breakfast of tortil- las, frijoles and black coffee and were last seen unloading rails from the work train beyond the camp. Dr. Cotter brought home knife captured from one of the prisoners and Deputy Jones found Wilder's hat. Thus end ed what might have proven serious affair. The gang was surprised and dismayed at the array of armed men who would have let loose on the slightest prOvOcation. In the Monday afternoon fight no one was injured except Wilder, though some believe the injured were hidden somewhere. A dead Mexican is yet to be accounted for. Wilder is all right. Three men remained for precaution, it being well to guard against a collision be- tween men and bosses, which might occur again. Jerves has not been ap- prahenfed bl1t is understood in he i'm easy reach.
 The posse was photographed at the scene of the scene of the riot by Kobeler, proof of which was sent The Republican. The special arrived at Yuma at 1 p. m., having been out seventeen hours. Further search will be made for killed, wounded and miss ing Mexicans. PITTOCK.

London Underground Service.

The chief objection to the under
ground service is the foul air In the
tunnels. Thus far no serious attempt
t introduce electric traction has been
made on the ''circle." Within a few
years, however, the City and South
London railway, better known as the
Greathead Underground line, starting
in the city, neal h monument, and
diving beneath the Thames, has been
constructed to the neighborhood of
Remington park, and it is being ex-
tended. This is a double tunnel-two
great iron tubes, in fact, one directly
beneath the other-and the trains are
operated and lighted by electricity. L
can testify from personal experience
that the air is pure and the motion of
the trains easy. Passengers are low
cred to the Platforms and raised there
from by huge lifts. This system was
the invention and the pet scheme of the
eminent engineer whose name it bears,
and whose recent death was a distinct
loss to technical science.-Time and the

CAT AND RHINocERos chuMs.

superintendcnt Smiths Snyder BE-
comes Smiles Devoted Friend.
Superintendent John b. Smith, of the
Central park menagerie at New York
the other day found in the rhinoceros
cage his large black cat Snyder, which
had been missing for a week. While
going through the elephant house in
which Smiles, the old rhinoceros, is
kept, Superintendent Smith saw the
missing cat curled up in the hay beside
the big beast, and the r~hinoceros was
licking the cats fur with its tongue.
Superintendent Smith watched the pair
for a time and tried to coax the cat
out, but it would not leave Smiles. A
keeper informed him that the two had
struck up a strong friendship in the
past week, and when the rhinoceros was
asleep the cat would frequently perch
itself on Smiles back and keep watch.
in its native state" explained Super
intendent Smith, "a bird known to hun
tiers as the rhinoceros bird keeps watch
over the rhinoceros when sleeping, and
pecks at itnears to arouse it at the ap-
proach of hanger. Nature, perhaps, is
working on the same lines in bringing
Smiles and Snyder together; but it's a
queer friendship, and l ehall not dis
turb it"

Poroine Curiosity,

The ugly animal, the wart hog, is a
rare curiosity in this part of the world,
but in East Africa and Somaliland,
wher his foot is on its native heath, he
is thought as worthy an object of the
chase as is the good gray boar of India.
Those who have hunted him with the
spear say he gives as good a run, an
swers to the spear with a charge as reck-
less and fights as gamely when brought
to bay as his relative the boar. Unlike
other members of the pig family, the
female is endowed with tusks as for
midable as those of her mate. Regard
ed from an aesthetic point of view the
wart hog is one of natures least happy
efforts, but he, at least, is a triumph in
u~Rliness. His head surprisingly resem-
bles that of the hippopotamus and the
tusks are terrible weapons. The huge
warty ex~crescences on the animals face
are an open question when it comes to
their use or purpose. One fact sets the
wart hog apart from its family-this
beast alone of all swine makes its lair
below ground.-Chicago News.

ODD WATERMELON CONTEST.
One Darby DevOurs Six and Capture

One Darky Six md Captures
the HaIf-DOllnr Purse.
The birthday of American independ-
C this year was celebrated in At
lanta with a 'nigger jubilee" The
town was given over to the darkies,
and the principal streets wore the as
pect of a ~wire7grass town in the turpen-
tine regions Saturday afternoon.
There were many strange scenes
where the darkies had gathered, and
s.rangest of these was the watermelon
duel, which was witnessed at noon just
in front of the Kimball house. Here
q travelling salesman had gathered a
lot of excursionists from Athens. He
proposed to give a half dollar and fur
nish the fruit to the negro who could
eat the most watermelon in ten min
utes. There were three entries. The
negroes were each given a melon to
start on and were allowed to cut it as
they wished. The word 'go" was given
and the three men began to devour
melons with the ferocity of a steam
engine. One of the men had cut his
melon in circular form. These he
would break into segments, which he
would appear TO swallow, rinds in
Guided.
Another darby, with a %cavernous
mouth, had his melon in horizontal
slices. He would grab these with light
ning-like speed, swipe it quickly across
his mouth, allowing the seed to escape
on one side and the husk to come out
at the other.
At the end of five minutes two of the
contestants had called enough" Each
one had eaten four melons. The other
darby continued until he declared that
he could eat no more He had been go
ing into the red meat for seven minutes
and had scored six melons.
1t was a remarkable record, and the
half dollar was awarded him. This the
negro put in his pocket and walked off,
apparently feeling better for his huge
meal. Dat niger sho' I'M in heben,"
said an old darby who had been watch
ing the contest. "Dem seben millions

The h HOune.

The steady growth Of the nation has
rendered necessary a great expansion OF
the capitol at Washington, but nothing
has been done to increase the size OF the
white house, says the Washington Post.
The latter remains as it was when first
occupied by President John Adams, at
the beginning of the present century.
Its narrow quarters have caused a vast
amount of embarrassment to its tenants
from time to time. For example, when
the prince of Wales was here b ut
most difficulty was found in making
room for him and a few persons Of his
immediate suite, even when a part of
the office quarters was utilized for
sleeping purposes. There is an urgent
demand for more rooms for the enter
tainment of distinguished guests OF n
nation on such exceptional occasions.

An important development in tele
phone work is proposed for the connec,
ton of the five lakes and reservoirs in
the Adirondacks, which feed the Erie
and Black river canals. Communica-
ton with these has often consumed two
or three days and required journeys on
foot through miles of forest. The sug-
gested telephone systems will put and
keep each section superintendent in in
slant communication with Zach of his
lock tenders, parrolmen, bank, watch
and state scows; also, with each as
sistant superintendent of public works,
and with the main office of the depart
ment at Albany. When completed it
will become a long-distance telephone
system for the transaction of business
relating to the canals, and solely
operated for that purpose by the canal
officials. On the rapidity and prompti-
tude with which information of leaks.

has proved successful. Unlike the rain
producing experiments carried out in
this country which were conducted for
the exposition of a scientific principle.
the experiments which proved success
full were carried out in Austria for the
commercial purpose of protecting val
liable vineyards from the devastation
of hailstorms which are of frequent
occurrence in that section of the coun-
try. Albert Stiger, burgomaster of
Windisch = Frenstritz Qower Steir-
mark, Austria), owns extensive vine
yards, situated on the southern slopes
of the Bacher mountains, a locality
often visited by destructive hailstorms.
According to Consul German, at
Zurich, having expended a great deal of
money ind labor on the improvement
of his lands and in securing choice cut
tings from which to raise his vines, he
began to experiment to protect his
crops from their worst enemy-hail.
At first he purchased galvanized iron
wire netting and stretched it over five
acres of his best vines, but found the
scheme too expensive for general appli-
cation. He therefore concluded to try
the shooting or explosive systems to
cnaf<ar tha .1a,ls ND Jr;,-o ax,,. 49,,
preaching hail or heavy rain storms.
He erected six stations on the six most
prominent submits surrounding the
locality and commanding a territory
about two miles in extent. These sta
tions, built of wood, shelter ten heavy
mortars each. In the neighborhood of
every station is a cabin. in which the
necessary powder is stored.
A corps of volunteers, consisting of
neighbors, who are also owners of
small vineyards, have been trained to
handle the mortars at the slightest in
dication of an approaching storm

a%nxiously watched by the citizens of
Windisch-Freistritz last AT
the approach of threatening black
clouds over the summit of the Bacher
mountains a signal was given and all
the mortars were fired off. and the con-
tinuous detonations in n few minutes
caused a sudden reaction in the move
ment OF the clouds. The cloud wall
opened up funnel-like, the mouth of
the funnel began TO rise in the form of
consecutive rings, expanding gradual
ly until all of the clouds scattered and
entirely disappeared. There was no
hail nor ever a sudden %downpour of
rain. The same experience was gone
through six times last summer. and has
without a single exception proved n
