be beneficial in some instances, but a
few hot days would be better than all

DIDN'T WAYLAY THE ROAD
j. II. Robinson Tells OF Wilder
vile Episode.
Editor Courier:

Editor Courier;
see in your paper of August 18th
in the Wilderville notes, that ~.
Sans, while going home from his work
one day last week was assaulted by a
couple of scoundrels who had waylaid
the road and as he was the first to
pass, was attacked. " Now, l can say
that your correspondent was either
wrongly informed or maliciously
misrepresented the facts in the case.
As this casts reflection ON Wilder
vile and community that the people
will harbor scoundrels" and not
hunt them down and bring them to
justice, deem it due the readers Of
the Courier, to give them true state
ment of the case. There is private
road across the premises of Jacob
Wagner and John II. Robinson,
which is used only by the above nam
ed parties, except by permission Of
the owners.
There are two roads across John II.
Robnson's place-One around his
fence and one into his field. People
sometimes make mistakes and drive
into the field across grain, clover and
potato patches.
To get rid of the above named
nuisance, and as Robinson has been
doing some slashing outside the field,
along the outer road, preparatory to
enlarging his field, he put up a tres
pass notice, forbidding farther use
of said roads.
j. Sans and son, who work at the
Williams Brothers saw MILL. per-
sisted in crossing Robinsons land,
after the trespass notice had been
posted up, and Robinson's two boys
who had been working in the hay field
near by, called Mr.. Sans attention
to the notice, and asked him if he had
not read it, and why he disregarded
it.
The boys had wired the gate on the
line between Wagner and Robinson
and told Mr.. Sans not to come
through onto their land any more.
Sans put his hand through the gate
and attempted to unfasten the wire,
one of the boys pushed his hand
away, and Sans struck him across the
gate, and the boy struck back and hit
Mr. Sans in the face. Sans, after
tongue lashing the boys, left them
and went around Robinson's place.
Now, who did the trespassing
Who did the assaulting? If there il
any scoundrel'' in the case, who i,
he? Yours respectfully,
John II. Robinson.

day night to assist in an operation to
remove an eye from Mrs Hunnicutt,
who has beer blind in one eye for 35
years, and it had been deemed advis-
able to remove the useless member.
The operation was to be performed
this morning and the woman was
placed on the operating table and the
attending surgeons got their instru-
ments in readiness for the operation
when the woman shouted that the
Lord had restored her sight,
Those in attendance were greatly
surprised at this .outburst, but the
good eye was closed and she was
shown several articles and could see
them plainly with the eye that had
been blind for years and called the
articles by name. There were half
a dozen witnesses of the occurrence
and all were dumbfounded.
The woman had spent several hours
in prayer previous to the time for the
operation and just before going on the
operating table offered final prayer
to God to restore her sight. She
naturally feels that her prayer was
answered.

VIM. Frakes is. in town this week
from the Siskiyous where he has

partner, Max Martin, lately of Grip

in finding the ledge from which comes
the famous "black float an ore
carrying gold, silver and lead. The
float has been known for many years
and is remarkable for its peculiar sp-
pearance, full of black streaks and
with spots which show nearly all the
colors of the rainbow. Samples Of
the float have given assay values Of
$50 to the ton. The ledge where it
was discovered is fully 20 feet in
width. The ore Of the ledge has not
yet been tested to give any idea Of its
average value.
