Miller went on to Alan. HE twits me
about overchecking occasionally. Let

him and began to make laughing re-

"You look fer the world like a dirt

of black wasp came from Pole Baker,
a tall. heavily built farmer, with an
enormous head. thick eyebrows and
long, shaggy hair. He lived on Bis :

with Alan. "I'll be derned eff you

then she slipped upstairs and made
the girl tell all about 1t while she was

the front door for Dolly and almost

one of the stiff backed, split bottom
chairs and stared straight in front of
him. Never in his life had he suffered
as he was now suffering. He could see
no hope ahead; the girl he loved was
lost to him. Her father had heard of
the foolhardiness of old man Bishop
and. like many another well meaning
parent, had determined to save his
daughter from the folly of marrying a
penniless man who had doubtless in
herited his fathers lack of judgment
and caution.
There was a rap on the closed door.

CRAZY AND KNOWS IT
4 Han Picked up on the Desert n
 Saturday ffteFDoon.

There is an insane man in the county jail who has the advantage over other luEeucs of being aware Of his mental condition. He says his name is Key holds. He was brought down from Peoria. Saturday night, by Deputy Sheriff Davis.
 Reynolds arrived at the ranch of William Hood, near Peoria on Satur- day, and laid claim to q horse in the possession of MT. Hood. The horse was a stray, and NIT. HoCd had had him for two years. The animal was covered with brands. and when Reynolds de- scribsd two of them, Hood was con vincej that he was the owner and turned the animal over to him.
 The old man took it to the store. bought a rope and mounted it. He rode it around the neighborhood aim lessly, and finally went out on the des- cit and gathered up two bundles. which he had concealed there in the brush. He threw them on the horse and rode back to town. Ills manner. by this time. excited the suspicion of 1fr. Hood. who determined to keep an eye on him.
 Finally the old man left for the west along the railroad, and MT. Hood started after him with a team and buggy. He arrived at the east bank of New river jus as the old man got out on the west bank. Reynolds saw by this t.ue that he was being fol- lowed and he struck down the river HCOd followed, and by hard driving. gained on Reynolds who. seeing that he was about to be overtaken. threw his bundles avIy and started back Coming Up to Hood h. offered him the horse, saying that it did not belong to him. He told Hood that he ought to have tied him and notified the sheriff when he reached his ranch. for he said he was crazy He denurred, though. sainst going back. but Hood per sJaded him to get into the buSgy. and taking him home. teler-o1ed the office of the sheriff.
 Reynolds said yesterday that his home is in Yavapai county. and that today he would write his relatives in forming them of bis insanity.

FROM OUR NORTHEAST CORNER

Our neighborhood was visited by
small hail storm July 18th, which
damaged the gardens and crops in the
north of 1876. Rye was hurt quite
badly, speltz and oats about one-fifth,
fax only slightly. The gardens of Ed
O'Brien, Mr.. Barrett, and Mr.. Gambs,
were pretty badly shattered. No In
surance held by anyone.
H BY the way why not organize a
county hail insurance association.
They are successfully carried on In
Iowa and Nebraska, and the cost to
the farmer has been very light. Let
us talk this up among the farmers OF
the county. It will pay.
The boys who went fishing have re.
turned and nary fish do we get from
them. They report a very enjoyable
time, but the Old Muddy too high for
fishing. Berries are also scarce this
year. They trust to do better next
year. s8 &.

ords of the war department show that
this soldiers service was less than
sixty days during the war with Next

ment was ever in Mexico, or on the
coasts or frontier thereof, or enroute
thereto. He was enormously pen
stoned, and is not entitled to restora-
ton.
Line of Duty. Claimant, after be-
ing relieved from guard duty, assisted
teamster in watering mules. He
was not disobeying orders, his act
was not inviolation of army regula-
tons, but was aiding a comrade in
caring for and protecting government
property, and was doing something
which he not only had a right to do,
but said act was commendab1e, and
resulted, if his allegations are true,
in his being fired upon by the enemy
and injured, and he was in line of
duty. Held: His disability thus in
CURED is pensionable.
Marriage in Mississippi Impedi-
ment of Blood. Evidence secured by
special examination shows that SOL
der was white man and claimant is
negro. The intermarriage of the
races being prohibited by the laws of
Mississippi, in which states the parties
resided, their cohabitation could not
be regarded as legal marriage, but
was mere concubinage, and claimant
is not the lawful widow of the soldier,
nor entitled to pension as such.

sion under the first proviso OF section

ONCE MORE THE BUSY FARMERS.

Under this caption the Chicago
RecordJHerald has this to say Of a
stroke of business by some Red River
valley farmers:
This is the season of the year when
the busy farmer is supposed to be out
in the field under the hot, hot SUM-
earning his bread most literally by
the sweat of his brow. Up in the Red
River valley, however, there is com.
munity of farmers who toll not
neither do they perspire, but who have
just accumulated bank accounts which
will guarantee them daily bread for
many long day to come.
These farmers have been careful
students of the methods of the wheat
pits, and they know that natural ad.
vantages ought never to be neglected.
The natural advantage of the Red
River valley is that, in default of more
definite and complete information, the
reports of its condition are accepted
by wheat dealers as sort of barome-
ter of conditions the country over.
Last week the farmers put their
heads together and bought all the
wheat they could find the cash to
margin. A day or two later dire re-
ports about the rust began to go out
to the world from their valley. These
were followed by the arrival at Min
neapolis of a number of samples of
rust-infected wheat. Prices jumped.
The farmers hurried selling orders to
their brokers. About the time the
checks for their profits began to reach
them they looked their wheat over,
and decided that crops were in pretty
fair condition after all.
The professionals of the wheat pit
are thoroughly we'll accustomed to los
ing to the man with the earliest and
best information, but it must really
ruin their faith in human nature to
find that the farmers who grow the
wheat in which they deal are capable
of taking such a mean advantage over
them. If incidents like this are re.
ported again we shall doubtless find
the state legislatures of the country
flooded with bills to protect the poor
board of trade brokers against the
wicked wiles and manipulators Of the
clever farmers from the back districts
