Matt Newmoen's team became fright
med while standing on the dump in
4 the driveway of Miller Bros. elevator
and ran away Saturday, as the team
passed the depot it frightened L. Hen
bricks teamsand it broke loose and ran
away, things were lively on the streets
for a few minutes, both teams were
caught and no serious damage done.
Last Friday afternoon a fire was
started near the barn on the property Of
II. f. Denton two different times. il
is believed that the fires were set by a
bunch of toughs who were in the city
that day, with the hope of getting the
people out in that part of the city
while they looted the business places.
Fortunately the fires were discovered
and extinguished before any damage
was done and it was not even necessary
to call out the department.
Last Friday f. Anderson and daugh-
ter Clara started for home with a team.
A train was switching at the Main
street crossing but Mr.. Anderson
y thought he could make the crossing
first, His buggy was a complete wreck.
Clara received a fracture of The fore
arm and internal injuries, and Mr..
Anderson was bruised about the body.
DIR. Kjerland was called and reduced
the fracture of the young lady's arm
and she is doing nicely at present. 1t
is very dangerous to take any chances
with a moving train and this sad affair
should be a warning to others.
The editor of a country newspaper
learns, alter due experience, not TO
expect thanks for a column of pleasant
things, but he knows as surely as come
the seasons that a single line in which
there is an u~nintentional mistake will
cause some one to be heard. Also that
when he made mention 999 times of a
person. place or thing, but on the
th%ousandth time fails to do so, he must
not expect to be forgiven. The ommis.
sion may have been by accident, mad
v~ertance or even an entire lack of
" hnowiedGe-it matters not. The sim
pie fact remains and he will be judged
by that. He may say good things
about some business man for weeks
but let him make some mistake and the
good things said are forgotten and then
that mans business denied him.-Ex.
An opportunity which no student of
the highest class of literature or of the
drama should miss, will be given on the
evening of Tuesday, December 9th at
the opera house when Miss Laura
Frankenfield and a company of high
GLASS; uTdI1ltlC dTtlctS uBuCh Vic hidhuSC-
ment of Mr.. Sanford Dodge will pre-
sent DR.. Henrik Ibsen's realistic and
powerful drama of "Ghosts." Like all
OF the great Norwegian's works, this
drama has a strong moral lesson to
teach. Miss Frankenield is an ardent
admirer and earnest student OF the
great dramatist. She declares that the
play without thought behind it is
impossible after Ibsen; that he has
reyolutionized the drama in every
country of the civilized world and is
just beginning to come into his own.
There is always something to feel in a
theater where Ibsen is being played.
Miss Franhenfield is ably supported by
a very capable company, including the
talented young actor, Mr.. Paul Ter
hume, Chas. A. Gay and others.
Hon. K. r. Thompson writes a friend
in this city of his new home in Califor-
mia as follows: Yours of November II
with contents received. Thanks. You
did not indicate, in your letter, your
object in coming to California; nor did
you solicit information in regard to the
prospects and advantages OF this
locality. and my residence of less thar
one year in the state, could not be sup
posed to give me an experience that
should merit your fullest confidence in
my judgement. ! have seen nothing,

appointed in any respect, but quite the
contrary. l have no expectation OF ever
getting nearer Paradise, at least on this
earth, than SanDiego. see no draw
backs here that time and capital are
MOI likely TO overcome. With the dry
climate, we have health conditions that
are not surpassed anywhere. All that
the country lacks in moisture can be
overcome by irrigation and it is only
a question of time when the country
