The way.

1t has just come to light at Truckee,
CAL, that the 1901" organization OF
that town has had q private detective
employed for some time past working
up testimony against the law-breaking
element. The necessity for the SER
vices of q detective arose from the fact
that absolute proof Of the guilt OF
certain parties vas desired before
action should be taken. Among other
crimes which the committee has de-
termined shall be broken up is the
sale of liquor to Indians. Indians and
squaws have frequently caused serious
disturbances, including bloody fights
and murders. "Truckee has been
wonderfully improved by the work al
ready accomplished by the vigilantes,"
saysthe Silver State, ''and the outcome
OF the detectives work is expected to
60 far toward completing the purifca-
ton OF the town."

Turned the Tables.

4 little cOtton-tail rabbit turned the
tables on party OF hunters recently
In a rather tragic manner. The Sunny
South tells the story of how the hunted
creature became the successful hunter.
Louis Fries, boy Of fifteen, with his
father, Peter Fries, and Chris Ricch,
went out for a little sport. They had
walked mile or two into the woods
when rabbit was started. The dog
kept between them and the rabbit till
the rabbits burrOw was reached.
The boy reached the burrOw first. He
laid his gun, which was cooked, upon
the ground, and securing long pole,
began punching Into the hole where the
rabbit had disappeared. The rabbit,
finding this procedure disagreeable,
leapcd from the hole so suddenly us to
startle the boy and confuse the dog.
At the first hound the rabbits foot
struck the trigger of the gun. The force
of the blow was sufficient to discharge
the gun. and the load Of shot entered
young Fries left thigh. The range was
short, and the shot went into the boy

A bookkeeper, We are told. may be

thus the temperature cannot cool to the
degree of frost. Every country has its
