 c. F. Brard, manager of the Mesa branch of Pinney & Robinson bicycle shop, went hunting early Friday morn ing before it was quite light enough to see well. He was walking along in the brush near the Salt river, when he saw what he took to be a duck. He immed- lately put load of bird shot into it. and almost tainted, when a cry more like that of human being than that of a duck. shook the hills. The duck turned out to be Wm. HOrsby, and MT Horsby turned out with both legs full of bird shot. It is hard to say which had the harder time getting home, as MT. Brard was loaded down with a troubled conscience, and MT Horsby had all he could do to manage his load of lead.

 Rev. c. J. Banks preached yesterday morning in the Baptist church, from the seventh and eighth verses of the Fortieth Psalm. He said: "This psalm is founded on David's experience and is a prophetic description of Christ's earthly experience. Christ waited on God to know his will He often spent whole nights in prayer In just this way must men wait on God, and no one will wait in vain Some times prayers do not seem to be an- swered, but often this answer comes in way we do not expect. God knows what we need better than we do, and some times he delays the answer to give us greater blessing than we could have appreciated, had he an- swered immediately. This psalm gives a glimpse of Christ's suffering on earth, and of his delight in his Fathers service. He gave his life in the service in order that he might give men right conception of the truth. He went into the darkness of the last week of his life with the perfect as- surance that God would deliver him, and as he was delivered in the end. 50 men are delivered out of the horrible pit and miry clay of sin, suffering and death"
