PRISONER ATTACKED OFFICER
patroIman Davidson Used His Club
to Good Advantage.


Officer William j. Davidson met With
a rough reception while arresljng
young man who gave his name as John
Condon. Condor struck the otfiter
singing blow in the nose and drew
blood. Officer Davidson was freed
to use his cudgel to subdue the pris-
nner.
Condor was noticed acting in q sus-
picious manner. He was poorly dressed
and had no oversbirt on. The officer
noticed him on Front street trying to
sell an overcoat, and at sight of him
Condon ran. He was poor sprinter
and the policeman soon overhaued him.
He was placed in the patrol box at Front
and Market streets until the patrol
wagon arrived.
1t was when tie officer opened the
patrol box that Condor struck him. He
wishes he had not struck lick, for the
club in the hands OF Davidson had a
tendency to make him wish he bad
thought twice before acting.

It is made from q piece of sheetiron

best way to fasten the sides to the

and to the end piece, as shown. The
edges of this, also, should be wired.

Farners to Build Railroads.

FAPneP0 TO Build RAILROADS.
The farmers Of the rich Covello wheat
district>in Washington are planning to
build railroad outlet for their grain,
to be known as the Columbia & Covello
railway, tie-up between the Northern
Pacific and the Oregon railway & Navi-
cation company having left them with
out transportation facilities. These
wheat growers pay large sums to haul
their crops to Dayton and other points,
some paying as high as $1,000 each year
for this purpose. and they conclude
that they might just as we'll put their
money into railroad of their own.
They propose to take stock in the new
company, some paying cash. others
working out their shares grading the
roadbed. Should the weather be at all
favorable, the grading will be complet-
ed BY spring. The new company incor'
porates with 100000 shares of stock ct
par value of one dollar each. .,.3

wy wooden structures Should Not

1he effect of paint on wet timber is to
retain moisture and cause the so-called
"dry-rot" If the timber is dry and we'll
seasoned. the better practice is to apply
coating of paint at once. 1t is, how
ever. mistake to paint unseasoned
timber in bridge until it has stood a
year. and the work should be done at
the end of the summer, when the wood
tsthoroughly dry.
because of the tendency of paint to
retain moisture. there has been some
dispute as to the advisa bility of paint
'ng very large timbers in bridge, the
tendency of the paint being to increase
the dry-rot. Nevertheless, the timber
reaches certain stage, after sufficient
seasoning. when to exclude the atmos-
phere by painting tends to it's preserva-
tion.
1t is not considered good practice,
however. in wooden bridge construc-
ton to use any timber more than six
inches in thickness. Where greater

The bridge thus built should be given
one thorough coat of paint the summer
following its construction, and second
coat should be applied the third year.

To Master a Kickinr Cow.

There are few things around a farm
that are more exasperating than a
balky horse or kicking COW. No
trouble will be had with the latter if
this plan is tried: Take two straps
with buckle on the end of each.
Buckle one of them about the animals
hind legs just above the big Joint and
back of the udder., This should not be
loose enough to slip over the Joint, and
not tight enough to prevent slipping
the other strap through it. Slip the
second strap through the first and
then buckle around the other leg the
same as the first, and draw up until the
legs are held close together. You car
then proceed in safety with the milk
ing. Your COW will neither kick nor
run away. L. Irwin. in Ohio Farmer.
