Care OF the Cat.

Don't feed meat to cats when they
are kittens; it gives them fits. Don't
give them cold milk; just lukewarm is
the right temperature. Don't give them
chunks of raw meat; cook 1t a little
and cut 1t up rather small. Don't for
get to have dish of fresh, clean water
convenient for them; cats suffer often
for cool drinks. Don't. If you buy meat
for them, 'fver and alwis" buy liver, as

KIDS in
SOUIRE'S
COURT
JUVENILE PRINCIPALS FEATURE
AN ASSAULT AND BATTERY
CASE BEFORE MARGIS-
TRATE GORDON.
Ten-Year-old Lynn Morris Has Little
Carl Fields Arrested for Assault and
Battery.-Fields Smashed Morris
In the Head with an Apple.

Ten-year-old children nglred IN an
assault and battery case before Magis-
trate s. w. Gordon Tuesday evening.
Lynn Morris swore out warrant against
Carl Fields, charging him with assault
and battery. Both OF the principals in
the case are mere children. They are
about ten years old, and live in Broad
Oaks addition.
The case was brought to trial in the
magistrates court Tuesday evening at Z
O'Clock. It seems that Fields waylaid
Morris the other evening when the latter
was returning from school, and threw
an apple at him. The apple struck Nor
ris ON the forehead, and it was thrown
with such force that it burst and spat-
tered all over the ground. Morris pick
ed up a heavy stone and was just in
the act Oh, throwing it at Fields when
some one happened along and stopped
the fight.
The case was thoroughly aired in the
court, and lot of family troubles told
on each side. It appears that there had
been some trouble between the two fam
lilies, and the boys, as representatives of
their respective houses, intended to settle
the matter between themselves in true
feudal fashion as in the days in which
knight heraldry was the real stuff.
The magistrate fined the Fields boy
8 and costs, but, owing TO the peculiar
circumstances of the case, and on ae-
count of the youthful ages of the prin-
cipals, he RENTED the fine. The boys
mother agreed to settle the costs Of the
case. The magistrate gave the boys
good talking to and told them that If
they ever appeared in court again they
would be dealt with accordingly. He
minated that the state reform school
was still located at Pruntytown, and
that ii the boys ever got into trouble
again, they would be sent there. The
Fields boy has been the juvenile prin-
cipai in one or two like cases before
magistrates before.

PRESLEY BEACH
DROWNED AT MT. CLARE

Presley Beach, OF lit. Clare, was
drowned at IL o'clock Tuesday morning
IA the West Fork river at Mt. Cnre.
AR. Beach and jefferson knight had
started to the city in Beacals ONE
horse buggy. They drove down the riv-
er and were In the middle OF It when
dc terrible and fatal accident to Mr..
Deaoh occurred. The water was rath-
er shallow as they drove along and no
concern was exercised by them. Little
thought they were out of the danger
that lurked ahead OF them and they
we're chatting ON various subjects. Sud
denly they plunged into deep hole and
the buggy and horse began to sinlS.
Both men jumped out and knight SWAN
10 shore.
Not being able to swim, Mr.. Beach
jumped ON the horse, and both went down
together. Knight cried to Beach TO let
khe horse go and swim for his life. But
Mr. Beach told him he could not swim,
and, when knight attempted to go to
his rescue, Beach told him to save him
saaf and not to mind him.
BY the time knight got ashore large
crowd had collected ON the river hank and
some Of the bystanders went to Beach's
sescae. They finally succeeded in get
ting pole to the hole of water and
thrcw It toward him. but he sank for
khe last time before he could reach it.
The struggles of the drowning man to
ave himself were heroic. but of no avail.
It was a sight that those who saw it
win never forget, and one that mono
wosild desire to see.
The body was recovered in a few
minutes and carried 10 the river bank.
where it lay until the proper authori-
ties could be notified. Later it was taken
home.
The horse persisted and the buggy sank
30 the bottom OF the hole.
