Practical Measures During January
To Prevent Diseases of Plants and
Depredations by Insects.
Spare the knife and spoil the tree.
Prune whenever your knife is
sharp; keep a keen edge on the
blade of your pruning knife all the
time.
Pruning invigorates the tree and
promotes growth, especially if it be
enfeebled from any cause. Increas-
ed vigor is one of the fundamental
features in preventing or overcom-
ing the effects of pests.
Select and order your seeds now.
Send to some reliable firm that has
its reputation to maintain as a
portion Of its "stock in trade, as
every honest man should have.
Examine them carefully with hand

The Panama question seems likely
to take a rest in congress. Friday
was spent in the senate discussing
the resolution for congressional
committee to investigate postofice
frauds. Democrats insisted that it
was necessary because such an in
yestigation cannot properly be en-
trusted to the department where the
fraud existed; republicans opposed
the resolution on the ground that the
investigation by the postofiice depart
ment is very thorough and that
congressional Investigations seldom

peace: that the French canal company
which has lost half a billion Of
dollars has still vitality enough to
make an immense row to our great
expense and detriment; that we shall

has come true; that Columbia could
reclaim its own and "wipe out the

constitute Panama" in about one day

Brady Building
 Hearing Tomorrow
BROWNS COURT YES TERDAY. ,.
Special Meeting of City Council Will Probably Be Held Tonight to Decide as to Action City Win Take in the Contest.

Postponement was made yester- day in Judge Browns court of hearing of the Brady Overlook case. It will come up under the new order at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 It is probable that a special meeting of City Council will be held tonight to consider what steps the city shall take in the matter, the Overlook com plaint being a move in sympathy with the city contention that the new Bra dy building in Brewery Gulch, about which the trouble is, laps over into the street.
 Together with this contention is a difference of opinion between the owners of the Brady building ground and adjacent property as to the exact | location of their lines. The adjoin- ing property owners last week secured an injunction to prevent further work on the Brady building. This injunc- , ton was ignored. The Overlook ac-
 ton then came, Overlook declaring that the building would extend onto city property.

Officers Found
 No Sign of Work
SEARCH FOR ASSESSMENT HOLE FROM LITTLE CASINO SA-
 LOON WAS FUTILE
Complaint Which Led to Investiga- tion Was Flied by Agent of Owner of the Property-SalOon was Closed When Officers Arrived

A variety of reports were in circula- tion on the streets yesterday in regard to the incidents of Saturday night and Sunday morning with reference to the digging of assessment holes on the Dividend Faul mining claim that was said to have been scheduled to come off that night All the Dividend Fault people would say was that their statement of several weeks ago that the holes were down was correct.
 Regarding the work of the officers Saturday night and Sunday morning, it appears that it was brought about
 by a complaint filed by Matt Dillon, acting as agent for MT. Truax. owner of the building in which Ed Printy
 conducts the Little Casino saloon :.
 Mir Dillon had heard that an assess ment hole was to be dug from the back room of the saloon. He accord | ingly made complaint and had John : Doe and Richard Roe warrants is sued. Armed with these Deputy Sheriff Chidester, Marshal Snodgrass and Officers Wilmuth and White went to the Little Casino about l o'clock. Martin McMahon was later
 found with keys to the place and vol
 vnteered to show the officers through .,
 The inspection was made without re-
 suit No workmen nor no evidences
 of assessment work having been done were found.

NJ. L. Naquin. the well known fur niture dealer, was accidentally shot and severely injured Sunday after noon by Ed Sargent, his companion on hunting trip. It was not thought by the attending physician last night that the injury sustained by Naquin would prove dangerous, though it is possible that he may be crippled for some time to come, and possibly per manently.
 The right hip of the injured man is badly shattered. full charge of bird shot having torn it at close range. Since the accident he has suffered great agony. The continuous use of opiates has been necessary to par tially relieve him of the pain occasion- ed by the wound.
 The accident occurrad about six miles out of this city on the Douglas road. MT. Naquin and Mir. Sar- gent had driven out in the afternoon to hunt doves, and were enjoying good shooting. Near dark a bunch of the birds got up suddenly at one side of them. MT. Sargent wheeled about. bringing up his gun and stepping for ward at the same time. In the rap idity of hism ovement he failed to mo- tice a root sticking from the ground and. as he advanced, with finger on the trigger of his gun, stumbled and went down As he fell forward his gun was discharged, and the charge of shot, instead of passing over the head of his companion, entered his hip. As soon as he could get help, Sargent conveyed the injured man to a buggy and brought him to his home in Tombstone canyon, where he arrived about o'clock. and medical aid immediately summoned. For a time the injuries sustained gave grave concern, which has since abated.
