The ERA is informed that during the present week an effort has been made ny the business men Of Chase creek to secure bank for that section of town. and the responee was so liberal that those who interested themselves in the enterprise now feel sure that the bank will be started in a short time. Only men who were intcrcsted along Copper avenue were approached in regard to the matter, and promises were at once secured for the capital stock. No deh nite steps have yet been taken in re- gard to the matter. but from those most interested the ERA learns that the capital stock will most likely be S25, GOO, with one half that amount paid down. l. will be private bank in corporatcd under the laws of Arizona.

Notes Upon the Angora Goat.

For three years the Maine Agricul
tural Experiment Station has been e&-
perimenting with the angora goat and
sums up it's experience as follows:
AnSor;i goats are quite hardy and
thrifty and can be kept with the same
winter care that sheep demand. 1t
takes about $50 pounds of hay to win
ter one goat. With plenty of young
woodland or brushy pasture there will
be no food cost in summcrinS them.
They are effective in clearing up I'M
derbrush in woodland covered with
,, birch or evergreen. They will likely
destroy other varieties except very
large trees. They will clear out bushes
and waste growth in pastures, in pre-
ference even to the grasses.
Ordinary fencing will not hold them.
a fine mesh wire fence of such height
that they cannot rest the front feet
upon it will hold them, even in small
areas. They do not jump, but are good
climbers.
The flesh has Il flavor between that of
lamb and Vcnison. The carcasses are
small and there is 10 market in the
East for the flesh. The fleece is called
mohtir and that from crosses brings Il
somewhat higher 'trirc than wool. Tho
purer the breeding the better the mo-
hair is and the heavier is the clipping
1h'ee pounds per animal is about all
that can be expected from Il clipping
from n-eighths bred goats.
They are very docilc and intelligent
and make excellent pets. Their bush
eating proclivities would make them IL
nuisance among. decorative shrubs:
The Station does intt recommend them
! for most Maine IA rms.

notes are given can he had free by res

DRAGGED SEVERAL
HUNDRED FEET BY
RUNAWAY TEAM

One of the most daring acts witness
ed upon the streets of Davenport for
some time was that of Ed Nolan, a
young man about Il years of age, at
10 O'Clock this morning.
Dairyman August Buck, whose farm
| is located on the West Locust street
road. drove to town this morning with
his milk wagon behind spirited team
| of horses. The animals were in I'M
usually high spirits, probably due to
the change in the weather and the
further fact that they had not been
worked for several days.
Mr.. Buck had scarcely alighted
from his wagon near Third and Perry
streets. when the horses made dash
for liberty and escaped their owner.
They ran at an Infatuated gait west Of
Third street, and every moment those
who witnessed the runaway were OK
pecting the horses to lose their foot
ing on account of the slippery condi-
ton of the pavement or else dash into
some vehicle lined upon the street.
Directly in front of the water COM
pany's office Ed Nolan rushed out up
on the street. and as the horses came
dashing by. succeeded in grasping one
of the reins. He was dragged for sew
eral hundred feet, but chung to his hold
upon the one rein until he had succeed
ed in checking the swift gait of the
horses. He then proceeded directly in
front of them. and grasping the brides
of both horses, brought them to a stand
still.
His daring act was literally applaud
ed by the spectators who witnessed it,
and this applause extended for block
upon either side of the spot where Mr..
Nolan had brought the horses to STOP
Mr.. Buck was soon upon the scene
and rewarded the young man with a
silver dollar for his heroic act.
