A Humming Bird Story.

The story of a humming bird comes to
US from Indian Spring that is very re-
markable. A gentleman found a hum
ming birds nest at the camp ground.
The mother bird flew off, and he took the
nest, which contained one little egg, and
carried it to the spring. There he showed
1t around as a curiosity, and finally
turned it over TO Mr.. Bjckers. who put 1t
in his showcase. Soon afterward a hum
ming bird was seen flying around the
showcase. and the case was opened, and
the bird flew in and sat on the nest is
was on Thursday or Friday. Fearing that
the bird would be overcome by the atmos-
phere of the warm room, the nest and the
bird were placed outside the house on
Saturday night, and a slght windstorm
destroyed the egg and the nest and in
iured the faithful bird to such an extent
that death seemed inevitable. This story
is vouched for by parties of known truth

HoB0s ARafST-D BY A WOMAN.
Fifteen Kagrants founded Up and
Turned Over to the Custody
of q Sherjf

SPOKANE, WASH, Sept. 25. - Mrs.
George Martin is the heroine of Oakes-
da'e, Whitman County town near here.
Yesterday Sheriff Sims rounded up a gang
OF fifteen hobos who had been camped at
that place and drove them from town.
At the farm of George Martin, one mile
north, the gang entered the house and
proceeded to ransack it. Mrs. M artIn was
absent from the building at the time, but
was the only person besides the hobos on
the ranch. Seeing them enter she re-
turned, and entering the front door took
down a double-barreled shotgun and
chased the hobos out of the back door,
shooting twice to encourage them in their
flight.
Once in the back yard they attempted
10 continue the flight, but she having re-
loaded the gun, took another shot over

SAN DIEG0'S COLLEGE, STE.
Dispute Over "7he Campus" on
University Heights Finally Settled
in Court,

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Sept. 25.-The dis.
pute over the Normal School site which
has annoyed the people of this city since
June 4th last, was settled this afternoon
in Judge Hughes department of the Su-
perior Court, and business men and citi-
zens generally are greatly reioiced over
the best news they have heard for weeks.
On June the State Normal trustees
selected as a site for the San Diego Nor
MAJ what was known as 1.-The Campus"
on University HEIGHTS, consisting OF a
16-acre tract about three and half miles
from the center of the city. The property
mad been dedicated for a similar purpose
Ten years ago by the College Hill Land
Association to a board of trustees for a
university of Southern California, but
a ter the close of the boom it reverted 10
the original holders and they in turn
gave it 10 the State.
Attorney-General Fitzgerald refused to
accept the property because of the trust
clause in the deed, and ever since the
Normal School trustees have been trying
TO get the College Land Association to
get the title OF the property adjudicated d
in court on the line which the Attorney
General indicated would be acceptable.
For time the case seemed hopeless,
but to-day George l. Cochran of Los An
geles, representing the Attorney General,
appeared in court and Judge Hughes
granted the decree on the grounds asked.
This settles the case, and the trustees
will Immediately advertise for bids for
the construction OF the college.
