alias Frank Woodson, the Cassia county
murderer, passed through town Sunday
on his way TO the penitentiary, where he
is safely housed with no show to be res
cued by his desperate friends. Jack will
remain In the pen until he is hanged,
but if he is ever taken to Cassia county
again his friends will rescue him SO that
in his diving confession the rest of the
murderous gang will not be exposed.
Died-At the Columbia hotel, Tuesday,
February 18th, of membraneous Group,
Jessie Alice, infant daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. A. F. Mckay OF Toponis,

The little one was taken sick on Sun

No creature rising to the moral level
of a NANCY coyote, the intellectual alti.
tude of louise, will utter malicious lie
1t is likewise true that no one within
whose heart there pulses one drop Of
gentle blood; within whose brain there
was ever born a noble thought within
whose soul is enshrined the instincts of
manly man, will retail story calculated
to injure his neighbor or his family.
The honorable man, the respectable man,
the well bred gentleman is ever ready to
break lance in Intellectual battle-to
prove his prowess on the Field of the
Cloth of Gold'-but he leaves the throw
ing of stink-pots to Cinnamon, the ex-
ploltation of night-soll to scavengers the
peddling of stale false-hoods to fools,
and the connecting of unclean calumnys
to cowards.-Brann.
AS recently we have received consid-,
cradle number of inquiries respecting
Dry Land, or Sonora, wheat, we have
concluded to get few bushels for ex-
perimental purposes in this section. All
who experiment with it should put 1t in
as early as possible and in ground that
has never been irrigated. 1t is the
spring Sonora which has been success
fully raised without irrigation in Malad
VALLEY. Tribune.
Our Lincoln county farmers should
tackle the Sonora Dry Land wheat and
be ready for our grist mill The land in
this county is as favorable to the grow
ing of the Sonora wheat as is that of
Oneida county, where it is successfully
raised with no irrigation whatever, miles
from any stream of water and where the
rainfall is less than in Lincoln county.
Give it trial.
