SIrht of AcrId.u,.-


Saturday night was n record breaker

less thaD two men were run over
one OF whom John Martin, a citizen OF
Elko was instantly killed. another whose
name Is given a. Lopez was run

brought TO the county hospital and an
other is in the hospital suffering
from serious injuries received east uf

Sunday morning NJ d. FIorio, the
track walker. reported to Claude An.
dersou, the ticket agent, tEat the mapg-
led remains Of a man were lying IN he
center Of the track about tao miles
west of town. Coroner Morgan was
notified aud he and Undertaken Key
ser went after the remnins. Although
the man was horribly nAngled, they
had no difficulty in identifying the
remains as those of John Nartiu, the
milkmaD.
From whit we have been able to
learn, Martin left town Saturday after
noon about 4 o'clock to go to his ranch
three or four miles west Of town 20
milk his COWS. He did O return as
usual, but about | O'Clock Sunday
morning his horse was heard at the
gate OF the corral in town. FROM an
investigation made by Victor Burner
it seems that Mr.. Martin mad milkei
the cows and started to town with the
milk when the horse became unruly
and made three short turns in the road
and had crossed and recrossed the rail.
road track. About a uile west Of
where the remains were found and
where the last short turn was made
a milk can vas found. This indicates
that Martin was thrown from the wagon
at that point and had started tc walk
on the track TO town aid was CAUGHT
by a passing train and killed.
The deceased Was well known in
Elko and everybody is saddened 10y hrs
untimely death. lie was a native of
Bruneau, This county and was about %
years old. a widow, father, slater and
several brothers mourn his loss. The

the community to them in their be
reayement.
Coroner Morgan held IN inquest on
the remains today but the jury had not
returned a verdict when this repor,
closed.
The man run over in the Wells yard
is supposed to have been run over by
No. 6. His cries for help attracted
attention :and when found his first
request was for a match Il light a
cigarette he had rolled. Help was
summoned and the man was taken
into the waiiing-room and cared for
until he was put on board a train and
started for the county hospital, but
died before reaching Elko. Although
hIs name is given as Lopez, tile letters

wooDcHUcKs AND GoPHERs.

People get mixed on ground hogs, or
woodchucks, and pocket gophers,
which animals, while related distantly,
are but little alike. The woodchuck
is seldom found far away from tim
Der or rock lodges and, so far as we
have noted, is never seen in the prairie
section and never burrows in the fields,
living on green food, particularly clover
when it is handy, while the pocket
gopher is a prairie pest, an under
ground turnover and mound builder,
a root eater and one of the most
troublesome pests Of meadow and
pasture lands all through the west.
This gopher is not more than one-ffth
the size of the woodchuck and is very
rarely seen above ground.

AuGuST PLoWING.

All land which can possibly be plow
ed In August is immensely helped for
its next crop. August plowing fixes
the weeds, and all vegetable matter
then turned under becomes sufficiently
decayed SO that it makes plant food
available next season. Then is the
time il ever when the plow should be
set down an inch or two and little
new soil be brought to the surface. OF
course August Is a very busy time,
what with the securing Of the crops
and the thrashing, but in the long run
1t will pay any man to stack his grain,
plow bis land early and do the thrash
ing late In the fall

whom actually voted in the absence Of

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing we'll brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only.
They're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney ill.
Here is Leon evidence to prove it:

cruciatingly to saw wood and after

A Bit of History.

The only pioneers at Garden Grove
who came Oct. II, 1848, were Mr.. and
Mrs. Enos Davis, and Merrick Davis
who came at the age of five years. He
gave use of limb and almost of life at
Pea Ridge for the United States. Sena-
tor Blake gave an interesting picture of
Garden Grove and vicinity in his time
but the pioneers had been preparing the
way more than seven years. Our near
est postoffice was Princeton, Mo-, forty
miles across trackless waste, and there
was weekly mail of about 40 pounds.
Very few letters and never a paper
reached us for months. Hiram Chase
and family were the first to come
through from Dodge's Point, forty miles
east, on the road staked out by our men
in September, 1S49. 1t saved detour
of sixty-five miles. All have regard for
the senator and as he here met the
winning lady who has helped make his
life success, he must always have pleas
ant recollections of his sojourn
in this new country. He seem
ed much like the beardless youth we
knew and doubtless felt young the day
we met him. The rainy day was dis

distance. Yet to hear the old set

ations provokes smile from an "old

There is considerable elation in the
city at the announced discovery of the
% inch vein of coal nine miles from this
city, especially at the nearness of the
coal to the surface. The general i'm
preston is that the coal can be profit
ably mined at this depth. The coal
mines in Newmarket, in Page county,
which have been operated with profit
for several years, are only 10 inches in
thickness and are found at depth of
100 feet. 1t is said that there is very
good cap rock over the vein found in
Lincoln township which would make the
work of mining the product a very easy
matter. Local consumers are hoping
that the shaft can be sunk and work
commenced so that coal might be sup
piled to local patrons this fall.-Creston

To find an ear of corn with an odd

an ear with an odd number of rows
But the miracle has been disclosed and
at last the ear is found. Wednesday
afternoon j. A. Num-, who resides in the
southern part of Chalmers township
brought an ear of corn to this Office

ana is curiosity to most people. II
was found in a twelve acre field by his

grains have shriveled considerably, bu

ever think Of the tendency of their
nefarious practice. They are helping
to kill the town in which they live by
destroying it's business, lowering the
