Neigh Register: A desperate fight
occurred at Clearwater Wednesday in
which VIII Ruggles, liveryman, was
so severely injured that DR.. Hall had
to sew up three ugly wounds on his
head. II seems Ruggles went into
Bressler's drug store and was followed
by Lutte Emil, a farmer, who pulled a
gun on him. Ruggles pulled his gun,
but before the shooting began they
clinched and pounded each other with
the guns until they were parted. The
trouble is said to have started over
Emil's wife. Ruggles is not dangerous
ly hurt and is resting easily. No ar
rests have been made, although it is
probable that there will be soon.
Elgin Review: There was some
thing of a mirage visible from here
Tuesday morning at about 10 o'clock.

preston looking at it was that it was
low bank of clouds close to the hor-
iZOn, but careful inspection, especially
with a spy glass revealed the outlines
of the sand hills over in Wheeler coun-
ty which are ordinarily below the hor-

our impression that the fog rising out
of the Beaver valley furnished a re
necting and refracting surface for the
suns rays which gave us more or less
dim outlines of sand hills, groves and
buildings. The clouds and consequent
ly the mirage gradually rose higher as
the fog rose and the suns rays became
more nearly vertical.
Verdel Outlook: There was quite
an exciting time in Kremeier's saloon
last Monday afternoon, when Mrs.
Rob't McGill stepped inside to get her
husband Mrs McGil was not in the
best of humor and at once began to
smash up anything that came her way
She got her husband and led him out
then turned to the man inside and read
him the riot act for a few minutes then
went on her way in peace. But the
joke of it all was, the property that she
| destroyed and the man she abused was
not the saloon man at all, but was the
poor lunch counter man who was per.
fectly innocent, while the saloon keep,
er was on the other side of the build,
ing throwing up the booze during the
whole fracas. This is the first time
we ever heard of Carrie getting so ex.
cited that she couldn't tell lunch
counter from a saloon bar.
