Sentence

The following graphic account of
the doings OF Fairview society, IN
which Justice of the Peace Cobb of
Wonder figured ut the finish, is taken
from the Wonder Citizen:
The citizens Of our neighboring
camp Of Fairview were treated TO a
splendid exhibition of trough house,
Wednesday evening. The story, as
near az we have been able to get it,
is about as follows:
One b. r Bates. somewhat under the
influence Of liquor, went into an eat
ing house and took a seat which was
supposed to belong to someone else.
The waitress in charge of the dining
room requested him to move to an
other seat, and he, being too full of
booze, became abusive anu used is-
sulting language toward her. She
complained to some of her male friends
and some of them took the matter up
with Bates and gave him a severe
drubbing.He accepted his punishment
all right, because he had to. and when
he had been washed up and the blood
removed from his face and clothing
sat down upon a bench near the eat
ing house to mediate upon the folly
of insulting women in mining camps.
While he was engaged in his medita
lions, and without any warning. a
fellow named L. r. Watson appeared
upon tho scene with a full grown re
volver and demanded that he go and
apologize to the young lady to whom
he had addressed tho wicked Ian
guage.
Before Bates could make any ex-
PLANTATION or say whether he would
apologize or not, II Is said that Watts , 4
got busy with the artillery, using it

the head with 1t, wounding him severe

nell enters upon the scene, From n
distance he witnessed the attack, AMI
like q good citizen and an officer of
the law, he ran to tho assistance of
tho man who was down. Arriving at
the center Of military activity. he O.
manded the surrender of the wielder
OF the fighting machinery and posses
sion of the implement of war. Watson.
however, did not look at things
through the same glasses as the Judge
and declined to give up tho artillery.

joys TREATMENT
NOT THE BEST

Barney Joy. who showed promise of
developing into a strong pitcher in the
two games he tWirled here, was left
behind when the Seals journeyed south
last week. He is reputed to be the
lowest-salaried pitcher on Longs staff.
When ball team is travelling, the
club pays the expenses of the players.
At home, the men must board and
house themselves out of their monthly
stipend. Joy, the man who ought to
get a chance to be fed by the club, is
the one man who has to spend his own
money. Besides that he has a legiti-
mate kick coming from a baseball
standpoint. He can't begin to get the
same practice from warming up alone
as he would with his teammates on
the road And, as Long has repeatedly
stated that he intended to carry the
big Honolulan as a member of his
pitching staff throughout the season,
it hardly seems the fair thing to handi-
cap him at the outset.-Exchang

HOW COLUMBIA
BEAT HARVARD

BOSTON, May 11.-Harvard was out
generated and outrowed by the varsity
eight from Columbia University of New
York to-day on the Charles river, when
the crew from Cambridge was defeated
by three-quarters of length over a
course of one and seven-eighths miles.
AS in previous aquatic contests, es-
pecially those with Yale, Harvard start
ed in too late for any hope of victory.
Her squirt was made at the end of the
course. Columbia's official time was 9
minutes and Is seconds; Harvards 9
minutes and Is seconds.
From spectacular standpoint the
race was absorbing, Harvard's magnif1~
cent, though hopeless, try for victory
on the homestretch arousing great en-
thusiasm. The form of the Crimson
oarsmen was on the whole better than
that of the Columbia, but the stroke
of the men from Cambridge was notice
ably lacking in power.
A wintry day with rain and snow
changed suddenly into an agreeable and
sunny afternoon just before the two
Fights got into position.
Thousands of people were grouped on
bridges and sea wall to view the event.
Both crews caught the water in fine
form, though Harvard plainly had the
better of the start Harvard had a trifie
the lead in the first 100 yards Colum-
bia gradually drew ahead, and at the
mile there was open water between the
shells.
AT the beginning of the last three-
quarters of a mile Harvard hit up her
stroke.

BOXING BILL
IS DEFEATED

Gov. Hughes of New York has put
away Senator Frawley's boxing bill in
a single blow. He declares that the
measure went too far, and also that it
is not needed for the benefit of amateur
boxing. So he sent to the legislature
veto message. If the governors view
is correct the bill practically repealed
the law against all kinds of prize fights
in New York state, even against the
old London ring fights without gloves.

Nottingham Residents Encouraged to
Make Allotment Gardens.

Washington. - City residents in
England are encouraged to grow
crops. The activity of the people
along this line is especially noticeable
in Nottingham.
Consul F. w. Mahin writes that
about 600 acres within the boundaries
of Nottingham city are devoted to
allotment gardens and the number of
holders exceeds 1000.
The city owns about a third of
these gardens, the rest being con-
trolled by private associations. The
city receives rent averaging one and
one-half cents yard per year, the
size of the allotments being indicated
by the annual rent, which ranges from

stantially the same, though. some of
these allow the holder to buy his al
lotment. The allotments are rented
or bought mainly by wage earners.
though some are held by business and
professional men who have no gar
den space at their residences.
The city offers prizes each year
for the best results in it's gardens,
with the consequence that the allot-
ments are kept in most perfect con-
dition and many are examples of re-
markable fertility in fruits, flowers
and vegetables. The effect of the

NEW "wlck" FOR ARc-LAMps.
Magnetic Iron Ore Found to Be Good
Substitute for Carbon.

In the search for lamp that shall
have the efficiency of the new 'slam-

out their color, which some people
consider Objectionable, it has been
discovered that magnetic iron ore, or
magnetic" is a desirable substitute
for carbon, being incombustible at all
temperatures. 1t is as good a conduc-
tor as carbon and gives a white arc
of high brilliancy. Says ]. L. Hyden,
writing on the subject in Casters
Magazine:
"In this new arc-lamp steadiness

that the arc flame which carries the
current is fed by the negative ter
minal only. It shoots out from this
terminal almost in the form of a blast
flame. The positive terminal takes no
part in the production of the arc
flame, and its material is, therefore,
unessential. It is necessary only that
the positive does not get so hot as to
burn or melt off. To avoid this, the
positive is made large and Of metal

thus carrying away the heat.
For the negative electrode, mag

same power, pure magnetic is not 80
