crops have come up to the average
standard yields of the last few years,
although the summer was unusually
cool and the water not overlavish.
Everybody has an abundance of
fruit, chiefly apples, pears and plums,
which We're never better, both as to
quality and quantity.

Nindfeld, the Indian who was al
most fatally wounded by Muley Jim,
another Indian, bids fair to recover,
in fact, he is now considered to be out
of danger. DR.. A. Fournier performed

| Dressler ranch, where he had been en-
ployed for many years, enjoying the
reputation of being one of the best In

cost of medical treatment in full.
