The three year old child of J. A.
Johnson; Of Lynn Center, ILL.,, is
subject to attacks of Group. Nj.
Johnson says he is satisfied that
the timely use of Chamberlain's
Group Remedy, during a severe at
tack, saved his little boys life. He
is in the drug business, a member
of the firm of Johnson Bros. of that
place and they handle a great many
patent medicines for throat and lung
diseases. He had all these to
choose from, and skilled physicians
ready to respond to his call, but Sc
lected this remedy for use in his
own family at a time when his
child's life was in danger, because
he knew it to be superior to any
other, aud famous the country over
for its cures for Group. Mr.. John
son says this is the best selling
cough medicine that they handle,
and that it gives splendid satisfac-
ton in all cases. Sold by o. Q.

Faro and monte are the prevailing
games of fashion. Americans patron
ize the former. while the MeXicans and
Indians take the latter.
The monotony of frontier life is re-
lieved by an Indian hunt. News has
been received that the desert Indians,'
as all tribes are styled by the frontiers
men, have murdered a miner. A num-
ber of the most desperate characters
start out to make good Indians" of the
first Indians they may meet. These
men are heavily armed with long-dis-
tance shooting rifles, belt full of cart
ridges, a brace of revolvers each and a
bowie knife. A miner has been muir
dered, and an Indian must suffer,
though the murder may have been
, committed by some paleface desper-
ado for the purpose of robbery. Ere
quently two prospectors go out on the
desert in company. They may locate
rich claim, and in order to get it
all one murders the other, and returns
to town with a hair-lifting story to
the effect that his partner had been

APACHES AND MINERS.
Tho Troubles Between Them Seem
to Have No End.
Peculiar State of Affairs Existing
Along the Line of the Famous
Mojave Desert in Southern
California.
Especial Les Angeles (ClL) letter.

Especial Les Angeles tClL) Letter.
The troubles between the white set
tiers in southern California along the
line of the Mojave desert and the In
dians seem to be never-ending. And as
for Arizona, the principal occupation
of the peace officers and ranchmen
seems to be raids on Indian camps. The
chief outstarting points are kingman,
the Needles and Mojave. These towns
skirt the Mojave desert, and the
rallying points of defense and otfense.
Here mining prospectors get their sup
plies. ammunition, and, of course, a
liberal supply of whisky. These out
fitting stations are also railroad cen
ters, and with mixture of mining and
railroad men, gamblers, tramps, In
dians and Mexican half-breeds and des-
peradoes in general, may be considered
tough" towns. Here the traveller
gets picturesque view of typical
frontier town. There are one or two
general stores, several saloons and a
hotel, generally given .the name of
palace" Whisky drinking and
gaming are the principal industries.
At all hours of the day and night the
saloons and gaming houses are open.
Indeed, it is doubtful if some of them
have doors, as they are not needed.
Lumber on the desert is costly item.
