and full. The samples are said by

Declared Insane Charles Carr,
former resident of this city, who re-
turned recently from a trip west, was
declared insane yesterday by the
board Of commissioners of insanity and
was taken to the state asylum by
Sheriff WEIGH. Carr was found Sun
day sitting on the platform with his
feet across the railroad track, and
was dragged from his dangerous posi-
ton when train was within about
six feet of him.
Bob Doing WelI-Alert: Word from
the lake is that R. E. Wallace is rest
ing easily and doing as we'll as pos
sible with his broken leg. It was set
and all necessary attention given but
it will be some time before the patient
will be around. The leg broken was
not the one previously injured as re-
ported. The team which ran away
was soon caught and little damage
done to the wagon. Bobs' many
friends sympathize with him in his I'M
lucky accident.
Irrigation Matters-Mr. Guy E.
Mitchell, secretary of the National Irri-
cation Association, with headquarters
at Washington, has been in the city
for day or so, looking up matters Of
interest with regard to irrigation and
public lands. He will probably make
a trip up the river on one of the river
packets to get better idea of the
stream and the volume of water. Mr..
Mitchell thinks irrigation is feasible
on the bottom lands along the Mis-
souri,. He will remain in the city for
several days.
Excellent Performance Gorton's
Minstrels present an excellent per-
Torrance this season, as usual, and
the large audience at the Atheneum
last might was thoroughly satisfied.
The first part of the performance is
we'll costumed and staged, and the
vocal numbers pleasing. Messrs. Jake
Welby and Sam Lee furnish the fun,
and there Is plenty Of it. Lee
responded to half dozen encores
with his Incidents That Happen in
the Lives of Famous Men" There is
some good vaudeville work in the olio,
including Gorton and Lee in laughable
musical novelty, Welby aud Pearl in
dancing and the Mardo brothers, who
are really superior acrobats. The en-
tire performance was high class and
deserving of patronage.
Had Marrow Escape--A letter re-.
ceived today by M. w. Hutchinson,
chief clerk in the local land Office, who
is visiting Colorado, states that he
was q passenger on one of the Mis-
souri, !. Pacific special trains from
Pueblo that passed over the i'll fated
bridge just fifteen minutes before the
accident that resulted in over a hun
bred deaths. Bismarck friends Of Mr..
Hutchinson have been somewhat con-
cerned since first reports Of the &C.
cident, as they. learned he was at
Pueblo. It APPEARS that his train
passed safely over the bridge and
fifteen minutes later came the dreadful
accident. It was about as close q
call as comes to most persons and
friends here are devoutly thankful he
