 A CRUEL MAN.-Yesterday for the first time since his appointment to the responsible position of humane officer on Tuesday night, pr. r. O. Richmond came in contact with a case demanding his attention. Some man who left re- gently for California, travelling ever land. had a valuable colt which he tried to lead behind his wagon. The colt had never had a halter on before and naturally refused to lead. As a result the colt was dragged some dis tance and injured beyond the hope of recovery. The owner drove on and left the colt in the road some distance west of Five Points. Dr. Richmond was summoned, but all he could do was to shoot the animal. The man mean time had gone beyond his jurisdiction.
 AN OVERLAND TRIP.-Ex-G Cover nor Lewis Wolfiey and MT. and Mrs. Arnold of California returned yester- day morning from a pleasant mountain trip of several weeks duration.

The water bubbles up with such force that one cannot sink far below the surface, and it seems inn possible to find the bottom of it. While they were there there was also a camp ing party of young men nearby. and they each took a turn in trying to dive to the bottom of it, but could only go down short distance before they were lifted back toward the surface.
