man rushed at her and struck her a
blow in the chest, which knocked her
to the ground. The ladies with her
picked her up and carried her to the
boat. while her assailant ran away.

Bible His Only Weapon.

Mrs. +. +. Chapman, of Hartford
City. w. Va, vouches for the truthful
ness of the following story concerning
Hanse Hatfield. one Of the widely
known outlaws of the Hatfield Mccoy
gang:
She was in Kanawaha County some
time ago instituting a Rebekah lodge.
and on her way home stopped over
Sunday with the family of merchant
in Charleston. Hanse Hatfield was ia
the city at the same time and was the
guest of the merchant, being there on
a purchasing tour. On Sunday evening
Hatfield asked TO be shown the Meth
odist Episcopal church, and on being
informed that there was no service in
that church that evening, accepted the
invitation to go with the merchants
family to the Presbyterian church.
Upon arriving at the church Hatfield
took the merchant to one side ana told
him the Hattields had such bad rupu-
tation that he always carried a weapon.
He then proceeded to open 4 hand grip
he was carrying. To the chagrin of the
party he took therefrom an old and
much used Bible, and. holding it up so
those near could see it, said:
This is the only weapon / ever carry,
and to get along well and live close to
the feet Gf Jesus Christ one must carry
it constantly and use it often The

New California discoveries.

Californians are stirring about in
their mountains, prowling into desert
ed canyons, looking over places in
creeks unvisited for years and picking
into Sierra hillsides for new quartz
pockets. The belief that the mother
lode of the California mines has been
discovered, since the Klondike excite
ment set men looking, is of curious in
terest. There would be nothing sur
prising in big find in the Sierra any
day, says the Boston Transcript. There
are remote back country mountain
sides which have been well washed
down in these past forty years, whence
new placers have been developed.
Many old claims and placer streams in
California and British Columbia have
never been deserted by the Chinese,
who in their unwOrldly wisdom are
content to wash out a few cents a day,
and live in peace on little rice.

there arose an argument connected
with the political question.

what you and Mr.. Keller had represent
ed it to be- 1t is, in fact, an ideal location
for mixed farming. The soil is the best
we ever saw, and as the farmers were

ter condition. We saw two-year-old
steers equal to three-year-old raised in
most places, and these, as all others
are about Alameda, were fed on native
hay in winter and herded in summer.
AS we had previous to this visited the
Northwestern States in behalf of a
large number of farmers, to locate suit
able land for mixed farming, we are
now in position to say that the Ala

we were suited, but We have now de-
