are in their respective places on the rear

Justice J. A. Taggard was the unwill-
ing witness to death bed scene of a
lonely badger on Monday morning. 1t
was apparently natural death for the
animal, an unusual thing; it passed in
its checks without struggle. When he
arrived in front of his place of business
and had turned about to view the beau
ties OF the water ditch and the natural
lawn in front of his Office, full grown
badger lay on the edge of the water way
struggling in the last throes. He watched
it for a minute or two, when it rolled
over on its back, gave a spasmodic kick
and was no more. How the animal got
there in its dying condition is mystery,
for badger has little use for the haunts
OF man. Marshal Boyle says he thinks
this is the animal that frightened his
cayuse and caused it to run away, and if
so, he thinks it deserved an untimely end.
