DAMAGE IN MORGAN.

Rains Play Havoc With Crops Along
NIeigs Creek.
The unprecedented rainfall of Sun.
day afternoon and night dropped with
great damage on the little valley OF
Meigs Creek in Morgan county. Like
many of the smaller streams in this
county the waters rose like magic and
swept the lowlands clean of crops.
The greatest loss was caused in the
wheat fields, where thousands of
shocks of the ripened grain had just
been cut and stacked. These were
swept away and with them the pro-
duct OF many a farmers year of labor,
At Meigsville the creek was full OF
wheat from bank to bank.

JOHN BROWN is HELD

For Burglarizing the Dana Canning
Factory.
John Brown was given preliminary
hearing this afternoon before Squire
Drennen, on the charge of entering
the Dana canning factory and stealing
a pair of scales. Only two witnesses
were introduced, and Brown, who had
no attorney, was not sworn, but the
case against him was sufficiently
clear to hold him for the next grand
jury. In default of $500 bond the
prisoner went back to jail.-Parkers-

snowy there they put snowshoes on even
their animals.
ITO overcome the disadvantages of the
snow and enable us to carry on our pro-
iects there" said Mr.. Bowman yesterday
1--WE put snowshoes on the horses. By
doing this we are able to get in our sup
plies of groceries, meats, canned goods
and other things, and to transport the
product of our mines. All ou1 picks,
shovels, giant powder and similar things
that have to be taken about In winter
are handled in this way.
'Only California-bred horses are used.
1t has been found these are the best, and
if possible, We get mountain horses-those
that are raised at high attitudes. The
horses go right along in the snow. They
usually take fast walk, but sometimes
they trot little.
'They get so accustomed to the snow
shoes that they don't stumble or fall 81
all, and they like the snowshoes so well
that they don't like to walk without them
They will put up their feet to have the
snowshoes put on.
I'VE used wooden shoes at first and
they worked very well, but now we
have something a great deal better. 1t
consists of thin steel plate eight inches
IN diameter, through which are holes for
the corks of the ordinary shoe. The plate
is fastened by steel spring to the lower
part of the hoof, and there is a nut on it
so it can be screwed up tight with a
wrench.
ION the bottom of this steel plate Is a
coating of indiarubber, and this, by the
way, is q great improvement in horse
snowshoes. 1t keeps the shoe free entirely
of snow, whereas formerly snow used to
clog and fill up on the plate. This would
cause the horses to slip and founder
around.
s"Now the horses go right along. They
do not trip and fall Even when the
horses are fitted out with snowshoes for
the first time they rarely ever fall, though
OF course they are usually steadied little
till they get the hang of things.
But we are careful not to select nervous
horses. A nervous horse, when he falls,
gets excited and struggles. He doesn't lie
still. II he did he would rest and could
then get up, but q nervous horse will wear
himself completely out by struggling. So
we don't want horse that's too high
spirited. We rather prefer those that are
quiet and not easily perturbed
The trained snowshoe horses go any
where, no matter how precipltous the
mountains are, nor how deep the snow is.
We tried for awhile making srowshoes
out of aluminium for the horses. The
metal was light, and it was thought for q
time that it would be just the thing. But
We found that the aluminium, unlike steel
would bend, so we gave up the new white
metal and stuck to the steel, using thick
rubber coating for the bottom.
"Our horses have got accustomed to
these shoes, and they don't like to GO
through the snow without them. The
snowshoes are indispensable in wild.
snowy regions like that about Mount Pilot.
We couldn't get along without them"
Mr.. Bowman is not going back TO his
mine Immediately. He wants to stay
here for time and see things grow.
