A large party of sportsmen left
Phoenix, Ariz., lately for q weeks
peccary shooting on the lower Col
orado river, and from various points
in the territory hunters are fockine
toward that district. In the thick
and sometimes impenetrable, under
brush, from Yuma to the mouth Of
the Colorado, have gathered an i'm
mense number of the wild pigs, and
only an occasional hunter and . few
Indians have been killing them. In
deed, SO fierce have the hogs become
that Indians and white hunters alike
declare that a contest with panther
or bear is no more perilous than q
meeting with wounded boar in ths
dense underbrush.
OF late, the high water in the Col
orado has driven the porkers from
the lowlands, and in the open they
fall an easy prey to the rifle of the
hunter. The Colorado now is At the
highest point known in decade, tn
unusually heavy SHOWS in the noun
tains having put all the tributaries
to the big streams far out of theil
banks.
The meat of the wild hog, living on
diet of roots and wild grain, has
. peculiarly fine favor, and il in
great demand by epicures. The Indi-
ans on the Mexican side of the
boundary line have been killing the
pigs by thousands in the lat two
weeks and white traders are buying
up the meat and shipping 1T out over
Gulf of California steamer lines.
The peccaries of the Colorado val
ley were unknown Is years ago.
About that time Thomas Blythe, the
millionaire Californian, made an eff
fort to establish colony ON the
river near the Mexican line. Swine
raising was to be one of the principal
Industries. Fine pigs were brought
from the north to start the business.
The colony was a failure and most
of the hogs were turned loose. They
took refuge in the river bottoms, and
out of the small beginning have
grown into herds of many thousands

A graduating class in q private
school up town recently came very
near losing such words of wisdom
and advice as are usually included in
prosy and dignified commencement
address. The pastor of prominent
church had consented to speak to the
graduates. He is methodic man,
but for some reason this engagement
was not placed on his daily calendar.
After dinner he breathed . sigh of
relief as he discovered no evening OPP
pointment, says the New York Times.
"A whole evening to myself" he
exclaimed. 'What a treat" with
slippers, an easy chair, and good
book, his enjoyment was soon COM

door bell rang loudly and moment

breathless from running, who gasped
out:

up in his court a few days. Mrs. Nancy
Hinton, who some time ago got di-
vorce from John j. Hinton, filed an
affidavit setting forth that the defend
ant had violated an injunction issued
against Hinton when the divorce bill
was first filed, and that since the di-
vorce had been granted the defendant
frequently visited the home of Mrs.
Hinton and cursed and abused her and
charged her with various crimes. The
affiant asked that an attachment be
issued and that he be held for contempt
of court. Chancellor Cook declined to
issue the attachment, stating that Mrs.
Hinton should treat him as any other
man who molested her, and, in the alb
sence of any other remedy, the court
suggested that she use shotgun to
restrain the defendant from coming
about her place.

Insurance Fraud Charged.

Solicitors for the Equitable Life AS

company issued to Jared two $4,000
policies on the life of his brother, ST.
mon Jared; that when proofs of Simon
Jared's death were made a check for
the amount was drawn and forwarded
to Peter Jared, but later payment on it
was stopped, as an investigation was
deemed necessary. It is now charged
as a result of this investigation that
Simon Jared was a consumptive and
some one was procured to stand the
medical examination in place of the
true applicant. The bill seeks to re-
cover the check from Jared and poll
cies from Frost.
