WATCHMAN ASSAULTED
J. D. RIvES ATTACKED BY p NEGRO COAL THIEF.
Serious Wound Inflicted in the Throat of White Man Who Fired at the Fleeing
 Negro.

l. D. Riycs, watchman at the Louisville and Nashville Railroad yards was badly cut yesterday by desperate negro thief. The watchman's life was saved by the fact that his assailant used dull knife.
 The assault on the watchman occurred yesterday morning at o'clock. MT. Rives in making his rounds discovered th., figure of a man moving about in the wards. He followed and came upon a negro who had sack half full of coal and who was filling the sack with coal from the bin Of the railroad company.
 Mir. Rives walked up .3 the thief and caught him by the arm. The negro turned upon the watchman with an open knife in his hand. with which he had armed himself in preparation for an emergency. He slashed MT Rives in the throat with the knife, inhicting a serious wound At the same instant the watch man placed his pistol against the negro s body and pullej the, trigger. The negro turned and ran. MT. Rves fired second shot al the fleeing thiec. He is con- fident that he struck his man the first shot and thinks that he probably hit him the second shot.
 His pistol was 32-caliber and the negro may have carried off two bullets.
 The wound in Mir Riyes's throat is a long jagged cut. starting behind the right ear and continuing down the throat on a line parallel with the jaw The jugular vein was missed by the fraction of an inch.
 The wound is not regarded is a very dangerous one. Mir. Rives was carried tc his home on Columbus Street and was reported yesterday afterndon as resting easy.

 The Camp immediately set about its great work. building committee was appointed and other preliminaries were completed. In the meanwhile generous assistance came to the members of the Camp who had so bravely undertaken the work. Sisters and daughters of Con- federate soldiers begged to he allowed to help in the noble cause. Business men and corporations gave generously of material and money.
 At this time Camp Falkner has had given to it for the Home more than enough material for the erection of the first two cottages and the store houses of the Home. Contributions continue to come in. The Camp has also received sufficient furnishings for the sleeping rooms of the two first cottages. The work has in short gone forward with rare enthusiasm.

His Hands Divininq Rods.

Henry Zachary, a Texas plowboy,
fifteen years old, who has been visit
ing in Pueblo for the last week, says
the Denver Daily News, is possessed
of q magic power in his hands by
which he a locate minerals, water
or oil at a great depth with a certain
ty never before known. While hold
ing the pillow in one of his fathers
fields he felt a peculiar tingling sen.
sation in his hands, which, as often
as he returned to that part of the lot,
was repeated, and at one spot with
such force that he cried out for his
father. The elder Zachary ridiculed
the boy and told him to go on with
his work. But so surely was the
strange tingling repeated that well
diggers were put at work and came
upon a good depth of excellent water.
Since then young Zachary has done
little blowing. From every part Of
Caldwell county, where the family
lived, came constant calls for the ser.
vices of the boy from people who were
anxious for a sure thing in well sink
ing. Not once did he fail.

a life Of ease and inactivity did not

in st. Paul. She has also worked as a

Fol a time she edited a weekly news

BEETS PROFITABLE

Lots of Money Made in Raising Zee = In
Nebraska
The state Of growth to which the
sugar beet industry has attained In
Nebraska Is. perhaps, receiving its best
e:sm plification at the big factory at
Leavitt, owned by the Standard Sugar
company. Already $4,000 tons OF the
saccharlne vegetables have been
worked this season and their sugary
content Iiade into an excellent quality
OF the graduated article. The factory
has had to suspend operations once
or twice owing to wet weather, but its
great capacity has made this record
possible. Two hundred acres of sugar
beets in the vicinity of Leavitt and
Amss are still to harvest. The factory
generally runs up to the first Of the
year.
Profits Of sugar beet growers are
said to be larger in some instances
than ever before, while in all cases the
crop has paid well. The Fremont
Sugar Beet company, a local syndicate,
had one hundred end fifty acres under
cultivation this .aason. and a state
ment from the manager a short time
ago was that the profits would justify
declaring a dividend Of not less than
% per cent on the investments. Indi-
viduals have not found their returns
quite so lucrativ, because their fields
are smaller and have not been so sys-
tematically worked, but the revenue
from the crop is in all cases satisfac.
tory.
One OF the things now interesting
beet growers and sugar men in the
vicinity of Fremont is the reported in
vention Of n Tecumseh man, II. NJ.
Heilig, for the pulling and topping of
beets and loading them into a wagon.
A letter received from Mr.. Heilig says
that his machine works perfectly, and
an officer of the Standard Sugar COM
pany will go to Tecumseh to witness
its operation. Such an invention
would undoubtedly lessen the cost of
harvesting beets by from s. to Sc per
acre.
The Standard Cattle company, which
operates in conjunction with the sugar
corporation, is now selling of its 5000
acre ranch near Ames. Its officers be-
lieve that better results "a be secured
all around where individuals W the
beet crop and sell IL to the factory. and
their plan is to have the large tract
split up into a great many smaller ones
to carry out this idea.
