B. B. Ownby appeared this week
wearing a rabbit foot for luck. IL
seems that one of his Belgian hares
escaped from its pen just as an old
man drove by, aud he shot it. When
Mr.. Ownby saw that n of his hares
had been shot he vas ~irritated, and
demonstrated with the shooter, who
apologized saying he thought it was a
jack rabbit, and he needed a little
meat. When he found that his hare
had been mistaken for a jack rabbit
Mr.. Ownby passed the stage OF irri-
tation, and was what might properly
be called mad. II the shooter had
not been a decrepid old man 1t is
probable Mr. Ownby would have re-
sented the libel on his hare. and a
scrap would have transpired. How
ever, he let the matter drop, and com
promised by wearing the hare's foot
under a picture of Bryan.

On the north side OF the track lumber
is being shipped out to the new mill

ing the wants of the ranchers aud
mining camps in the vicinity. The
east and west bound passenger trains
meet at the Pass daily aud often sew
eral heavy freight trains are side.
tracked, awaiting an opportunity TO
pass. There is only the main and one
side track on which to make these
~passings, and 1t looks as though the

passing of trains and the receipt and
delivery of freight by building more
side tracks at that point, they are
much needed for the transaction OF

When Sheriff Bliar and his posse
got out to where Deputy Sheriff John
son was murdered they found evidence
that the story told by jerks, the man
who was uuder arrest at the time OF
the killing, was not true. In addition
to the bullet wounds in johnson, none
of which were necessarily fatal, there
was a wound on the side of his head,
evidently made by a blow, and which
probably caused his death. The posse
arrested Ralph jerks, the man whom
Johnson bad arrested, and Reinhart,
On the warrants johnson had, and a
portion Of the posse was left to hunt
up Roy jerks. Sheriff Blair left the
posse to bring iu the prisoners and
pushed on to attend court. When
near the White House jerks made a
grab for Ed Scarborough's shot gun,
got it out of the hostler and was trying
to put a cartridge in it when Scar
borough killed him. He was covered
up and left and the posse brought
Reinhart in. Judge Parker conclud-
ed an inquest was not necessary, and
men were sent out to bury the body.
1t was impossible to bring in Johnson's
body, and he was buried where he

today from Rotterdam. The ENJOYS,
Abraham Fischer. ]. NJ. A. Wolmarans
and c. H. Vessels. were met by a COM
mittee which went down the bay to greet

body of Boer sympathizers at Hoboken,
where the Maasdam locked. The mayor
Of that city extended welcome to them
and the party then drove to their hotel.
The Maasdam was saluted by harbor
shipping on her way up, while those on
board fraternized in unofficial ways. At
Hoboken the pier was crowded, flags were
flying, and brass band playing patriotic
airs struck up the Boer national hymn
when amid cheers and welcoming and
toots from the vessels, the ENJOYS step
ped off.
A procession headed by a band of mu-
sic and the mayor of Hoboken, was then
formed and proceeded through the prin-
cipal streets to the Barclay Street ferry.
where the New York Committee of 100
took them in charge and escorted them
past crowds to their hotel.

the ENJOYS merely shrugged their should
ers.
I'VE read these dispatches, said Mr..
Fischer, between the lines; beside. what
difference does one or dozen reverses
mean to us? We never propose to stop
fighting until we have gained what We
are fighting for-our independence.
I'VE should like to have the Govern
ment arbitrate with England, the dele
gates said. And undoubtedly we shall
go to Washington and try to have an au-
dience with President Mckinley. If we
cannot induce the Government to do what
we like we shall try to arouse the people
so that they will compel the Government
to recognize us in that way
Mr.. Fischer said their future plans were
still undecided, and that they would be
largely guided by events as they hap
pened As they have invitations from
mayors of sixty towns and cities in the
United States. it is probable that they
will visit MANY of these places before
