An apparently Unfo~nded Run,or.

CANTON, ONO, Feb. 14.-The call of
Hon. D. K. Watson upon Major McKin-
ley gives rise to the rumor that he aspires
TO fill the senatorial seat vacated by Mr..
Sherman. The friends OF Mr.. Watson

FAREWELL 10 MAJoR MoKINLEK
Canton Citizens Making Preparations
JOr deception.

JOr deception.
CAN ron, OHIO, Feb. 14.-The people
of Canton are beginning preparations for a
farewell reception to the President-ele lect
to be held on Washington's birthday.
While his neighbors will look after the
details the whole of the surrounding
country will be included in the invita-
tions, and it is expected several thousand
parsons will attend.
What is bothering the major and the
committee of arrangements most is to
find place large enough to hold the
crowd. The reception might be held in
the opera-house, but that belongs to the
Mckinley estate and it would not be in
good taste to hold it there. The Stark
County courthouse is the only available
building for the function, and it is proba-
bic it will be gwen there.

Shaw is taking out large quantities of the ore in sinking a shaft.

Last Friday afternoon James Land, an emplove of the Temple Bar Mining Com pany, lost his life in the Colorado river. The unfortunate man was in the employ of the company for two months past. For several days prior to his disappear ance he had been complaining of feeling ill and was advised to go to White Hills and consult a physician. Having been informed that teams were expected from White Hills that day he went up around bend in the river to see if the teams had arrived, and that was the last seen of him. It is thought that he either broke an oar while rowing the boat or in some unaccountable manner fell into the water and was drowned. The boat was ob- served floating down the river at Tem- pie Bar and when brought to shore one oar was missing. A search was made, but up to date no trace of the body has been found. MT. Land is spoken of as bright and industrious young man and his untimely death has cast gloom over the little gold camp on the Colorado.

While driving about mile north ot Needles last Monday the MINER editor and party witnessed rather novel sight Two Mohave squaws stood in the road holding an exciting conversation. The course of the excitement was a big rat tier. One of the party jumped from the wagon and killed the snake with long handled shovel. As soon as the reptile was dead the squaws began to disrobe and with many incantations would throw each article of apparel to the snake. When they had got to point where there was little else for them to offer to his snakeship they would raise their beaded necklace, let it slip through their fingers and go through the motions of throwing it with the balance of their togs When the weird incantation was gone through with the squaws donned the discarded clothing and went on their way rejoicing. Mohave's believe that if rattlesnake is killed it portends the death of a big chief and the squaws worked spell to propitiate the gods and keep the avenger away from their i'm mediate relations. Two squaws clothed in bead necklace and sandals making offering to the big snake god is sight that would make even the editor of our contemporary blush.

Judge CD Peter Baum, the able law yer from the great state of New York to whom our contemporary devoted con- siderable space last week, is no more a resident of Kingman. MT. Baum had no ready cash with him but had clr- culating bank account, upon which he issued checks with reckless prodigality MT. Baum was retired lawyer in search of health and Kingman was the mecca of his desire. Last Wednesday he en- gagged team from Chidlster & Mccarthy to take him to Utah and gave check for about ninety dollars in payment. MT. Mccarthy became suspicious and wired New York regarding the firm upon whom the check was drawn and received the information that no such firm was in existence. By this time MT. Baum had gone in a Utahnian direction and a number of other checks came to the sur face, together with an unreceipted board bill. The man ought to be brought back and prosecuted.
