rectly opposite the Presbyterian
church. between the residence Of
Thomas Shaw and the paint shop sit

contamination of the deal another ar
rangement was made whereby the
property was secured by Alec Moran
of Phillipsburg. who, it is rumored,
intends to erect a large variety the

Mr.. Moran was interviewed, but
was rather reticent on the subject,
though he said that 1t was his inten.

corner of the property at present.
and that during the summer he would
in all probability build a large two

GAME ON THE INCREASE.
A Stop Has Been Put to the Slaugh

1T is a noticeable fact" said Dep.
uty Game Warden Hall last week,
that there is no game meat exposed
for sale in the meat markets of the
state as there used to be. and there
is no doubt but that the enforcement
OF the game law in Montana is having
a very beneficial effect on the supply
of game animals"
Mr.. Hall Is the state deputy game
warden for the district in which is
comprised Meagher, Cascade and
Fergus counties and stopped in Lew
istown for a few days lately while
visiting this section of his charge.
He mentioned the fact that while
many of the districts were large and
hard for n man to handle, yet COOL
work was being accomplished in re.
gard to the stopping of promiscuous
slaughter of game and that much
more satisfactory results could be Oh.
tanned If the general public would
give their assistance in locating any
violations of the law.
There is one clause in the game
law which is not generally recog.
nized, and that is that it is strictly a
violation of the law to sell any hide
of an animal protected. in or out OF
season. and the seizure, at Billings
of a shipment of deerskins last week
was made under the clause ~affectins
that fact.

GEORGIA BOND TURNED DOWN
Indiana Man Wants to Collect Upon an
OId-Tjme Issue.

ATLANTA, Jan, 31.-The Georgia bond
for $500, sent to the Lowery Banking
Company of Atlanta for collection by "a
citizen ofIndiana, will go back with
the endorsement IN. G." upon it.
Governor Chandler has declined to
authorize Treasurer Park to pay it.
The bond, according to Governor
Gambler and Treasurer Park, was stolen
from the treasury of Georgia in 1864 by
some Indiana troops. The bond was
one of the series issued in 1854 to re-
tire some per cent bonds held by the
Central of Georgia bank. They had
been properly signed by the governor.
Fl. V. Johnson. and the secretary of
state, M. P. Watkins, but the great
seal of the state had not been attached.
The Central of Georgia bank declined
to exchange the bonds, and the new
ones were placed in the vaults OF the
treasury and kept there until Sher-
mans army too.- possession OF the state
capitol.

BIG PEACH CROP.
That Is the Prediction of the State
EntomOlogist This Year.

State Entomologist W. M. Scott
givessout the prediction that Georgia
will have a magnificent peach crop
this year. He has just made q tour
of the fruit growing sections of Geor-
gia and says that the orchards are in
fine condition, the trees being clean
and healthy. He says that the fruit
growers have learned how to treat
their trees so as to protect them from
insects and diseases, and that this is
half the battle.
Mr.. Scott makes his predictions on
the idea that there will be no damag-
ing freeze when the trees are in full
bloom. If this should occur the grow
ers would get knocked out in short
order. Y.
He has visited nearly every orchard
of any note in the state recently, and
saws whi!ethe trees are somewhat in
fected with San Jose scale the orchard
owners no longer fear it, as they
have learned how to treat it. He says
there is not much hope OF stamping 1t
out effectually, but it is under CONTROL
and no more orchards will be killed.
Mr. Scott says that crude petroleum
is being used now to spray trees in
fected with San Jose scale, and the
general opinion is that it works better
than kerosene oil.

l.. A Bare Animal Killed.

A sea cow; or manatee, was killed in
the Caloosahatchee river, Fla, on Sat-
urday. The animal weighs 489 pounds
This animal is of a very rare and al
most extinct species. So rare is its
capture, in fact, that scientists of to-
day almost deny it's existence.
Captain Menge. the president of the
Caloosahatchee Navigation, Co., is
having the skin mounted with the in
tentiou of presenting it to some mu-
scum of natural history.
The sea COW is herbivorous animal
of the genus "manatus." They usual
ly inhabit the mouths of the great riv-
ers of South America and Africa, and
browse on the heritage that clothes
the banks.
A manatee in America is a curiosi-
ty, and its captors must have been
greatly astounded.

ABEL SWEPT BY FIRE.
Many Brick Buildings Go Down in Rapid
Succession.

ABEL, GA, Feb. 3.-The town of
Adel was visited ny the most destruct-
i've fire in it's history at an early hour
this morning. In the two hours that
the fire ragged property valued at near
ly $4,000 was destroyed, comprising
two of the largest brick structures in
the town and four other buildings on
the opposite side of ohe street.
The fire originated in the law office
of Col. Jackson, over Kennons drug
store.
During the progress of the fire the
steam from water between the roof and
ceiling of the store in which Parrish
& Parrish were located caused an ex-
plosion which lifted the roof ten feet
in the air, but let it settle again.
Professor Shaw, who was on the
building, was badly scalded about the
face and hands by the steam. The
burned buildings will be rebuilt.
