DEATH TO A HORSE
The Fatal Effect of Browsing Upon
 0leander Leaves.

A horse belonging to John Daniel living west of the city. died of oleander poisoning yesterday morning. A couple of days before MT. Daniel was offered $50 for the animal. Dr. F. O. Rich mond labored all night with the horse, but the poison had gained too great headway. Dr. Richmond says that oleandcr leaves constitute the greatest peril 10 the equine race in this com munity and he suggests that the city council order the removal of all olean der trees in the street and If those whose overhanging boughs are within the reach of horses.
 The effect of the poison is peculiar, but so distinct and characteristic that iE cannot be mistaken either in it's symptoms or upon pest mortem exam ination. The animal becomes stupid, it's head hangs low, but it doe'; not seem to be in any pain. The action of the poison immediately paralyzes the stOm- ach and Harrests digestion, fer in this case, as in all others examined by the doctor, the contents of the stomach

against which the leaves lay had turned black. There was no sign of the effect of the poison on the outer wall of the stomach. There was no breaking down of the tissues and none of the marks which usually accompany poi soning. A horse turned loose in a lawn or field where there are oleander trees is not likely to eat the leaves of the tree, but when hitched near a tree and out of reach of any other green thing. will try to eat them. The leaves are frequently blown into alfalfa fields and ga rhered up with the grass and eaten.
 Two horses belonging to the city have died within the last few months and both are supposed to have been victims of Oleander poisoning. On this account alone Dr. Richmond thinks the council would be justified in ordering the de- struction of oleander trees within mu- nicipal jurisdiction.

and a Malay criss or creese, adong and homicidal dirk. These latter weapons were obtained by MT. Zander on expe- ditions in the country beyond Manila. There is also a peculiar looking knife, used for domestic purposes. The most interesting article of all, though, is a razor strop, a piece of soft, spongy wood, which. MT. Zander says. is in razors and is far superior xo the strop of barber shops or private use.
 NEW RIVER STATION.-W.. D. Piles, proprietor of the New River Sta tion on the Black Canyon road was in town yesterday. MT. Piles says prom ising mining explorations are going on in that vicinity and there is a general air of liveliness and hope about the station. He brings the pleasing intel ligence that John Lewis, better known as "FOrepaugh,' is there. MT. Lewis is the man who was robbed in a corral here a few weeks ago of several articlesyS among which was a watch, whose winding required eight days. The robber overlooked cash to the amount of nearly $10. which Mr. Lewis had in his pocket. FOrepaugh has since, un- fortunately, recovered the watch, and everything else he lost except two packages of chewing gum, which he was using at the time of the robbery.
 FAST TIME ON THE DESERT. - c. c. Montgomery. who conducts a ranch about seven miles north of the city, was the victim of an exciting and disastrous runaway MonGay. He was driving along the extension of North Center avenue when his horse became frightened and started Gn a run across the desert. MT. Montgomery was un- able to check the career of the brute, but managed to stay in the cart al though it swayed like T ship in Q storm as it bumped over minor mesas and arroyos. Finally the outfit came to a cottonwood tree. The horse lodged the obstruction. but the cart was not so agile. Montgomery continued his progress, while the vehicle stopped. The former met the tree and as it was the stronger, Montgomery hesitated there and abruptly. When he regainrI consciousness he gathered the remains of the cart and going home found the horse there. He and the cart came in for repairs yesterday.
