Gored by a Bull.

j. II. ThIasher had a narrow escape
of being gored to death by a bull on
the ranch of John Strohm within the
city limits, on Sunday morning last.
Thrasher was employed about the
place, and had charge of the animal
He had been fed by the other en-
ploye and Thrasher started to put
him in the inclosure. He turned
round for moment. and during that
interval the bull attacked. Driving
his horn, clean through his overalls, in
the region of the hip, and coming out
in the seat, he was lifted clean off
the ground, and was helplessly impal-
ed. The bull gave him a toss, throw
ing him at least six or seven feet in
the air. He landed on the ground on
his stomach. The animal was in the
act of coming at him again for a
second toss-up. His fellow employe
at this critical juncture saw the state
of affairs, and came to the rescue just
in time to save Thrasher from another
mauling. AS it was he was severely
shaken up by the fall. besides bruises
on his hand and around his waist
where the horns of the brute had
tackled him. He was able to get
around the next day, but plainly
shows the marks of the ordeal. He
has been under the DOCTORS care
since. The funny part of the story
is, The bull that did this business, is
gentle creature, perfect pet. In
interviewing his keeper in this rough
fashion, the animal was acting play
fully, and not viciously.

FATHER AND SON.
Pathetic Tragedy Of the War Between
the States.

Not all the sad stories Of wartime
come from the battlefield. Many a
heartbreak is not recorded ON the list
of the killed and wounded. The. civil
war knew no more tragic occurrence
than the following incident, taken
from the New York Sun: 4 soldier
had enlisted from his home in Georg;e,
where his father remained undisturbed
through the struggle. The young man
fought through the war without a
scratch, save slight wound which
left him a little deaf. This affiiction
he never mentioned in his letters.
After the surrender he sent his IA
ther word that he would reach home
about certain date. Travel then was
uncertain, and he could not tell Just
when he would arrive.
His father prepared to receive him.
lie had brought out the, best plate,
which had been secreted for long
time, and with gold which had been
exhumed he bought such substantials
and delicacies as the southern market
at that time afforded. AS many of the
old time neighbors as were living in
the vicinity were invited to- the home
coming.
The young soldier arrived on the
plantation the night before the. earliest
date he had mentioned. 1t was late.
and the family had retired, but the
dog heard the noise and began to bark.
The sound reused the father, who rose
and got his shotgun. The country was
overrun at the time with stragglers
and sneak thieves The father, gun in
hand, went to the door; saw the ap-
preaching figure and challenged it.
The young man, being deaf, made no
reply, but still advanced, whereupon
the father raised his gum and fired.
His son fell, shot through the heart
1t was a pitiful sight to see that al
most crazed father carrying his life
less son into the home which had been
made ready to welcome him. The.
next day the guests arrived. Instead
of joyously greeting the returned sol
der they gazed at the still form,
wrapped in the flag for which the
young man had braveiy fought Ev-
cry private burial ground had in it
grave made by the war, but no funeral
like that ever took place in the vicinity
or possibly in the whole south.

Filling for
Bridge Approaches

The filling of the approaches to the
ridge now in course of construction
over the south fork of jackson creek
beyond the Zeila, is an important
question. Where to get rock for the
hundreds of tons that will be required
= is the problem. The immense Zeila
dump, consisting of thousands of tons
is within few yards OF the bridge.
If this could be had it would save
hundreds of dollars And certainly
it Is only in the way where it stands
in the creek bed. Supervisor Strohm
interviewed Mr. Detert on this subject
this week, and was informed that the
county was welcome to the dump
provided the supervisors would re-
fund the amount unjustly claimed
from the Zeila company by the un-
warIantahle increase of assessment
for purposes of taxation this year.
The increase was 0,O0O, represent
ing over s400 of extra taxes. We pre-
sumo the county will have to look
elsewhere for filling.

Will Hunt for
California Lions.

| The offer by the state game COM
mission of bounty of $50 for each
scalp of California lion captured in
this state will have a stimulating
effect upon the trapping industry.
Willis Hoss was down from Pioneer
district this week. He says that he
intends to spend the coming winter
in the Bear river country, some forty
miles east of this city, and engage in
the business of trapping the wild
animals that abound in that region.
Lions will be.the special object of his
efforts, the reward of $40 being the
incentive. The skin of these animals
is valuable also, and it is a moot
point whether. the proof of the killing
to entitle the captor to the reward
requires the sending of the whole
hide to the commissioners, or simply
the scalp. 1t is probable the latter
is all that is needed, leaving the
hunter to make what he can out of
the hide in addition to the head
bounty. Coyotes, foxes and other
animals infest that wild and inhospit-
able section. EThe snowfall is very
heavy. and the hardships of passing
the winter season in that locality are
sufficient to discourage the ordinary
individual. But Willis Hoss is an
experienced mountaineer, and pro-
bably with SOME other hardy noun
taineer, will pass the stormy months
in comparative comfort. and the
Ledger wishes them rich harvest of
bounty heads in recompense for their
courage.

HAILSTONES.
The Part Electricity Is Said to Play
In Their Formation.

The Part Electricity Is Said to Play
In Their Formation.
The formation of hail through cleo
trical action, according to the theory of
scientists attached to the weather bur
reau at Washington, is an interesting
and even wonderful process.
The wind draws out cloud into a
long, narrow strip. In that form, ow-
ing to the great amount of surface ex-
posed to the air, the cloud evaporates
rapidly, and the rapid evaporation pro-
duces intense cold. Dry particles of
snow are then formed, and these, by
friction with the water drops, quickly
become charged with negative cleo
tricity. But the water drops them
selves carry positive electricity, and.
since negative attracts positive. film
of water is formed upon each snow
particle and is instantly frozen into a
layer of ice.
At this thickness its outer surface re-
mains moist, the water not freezing
there sD rapidly, whereupon the elec-
trical charge changes from negative to
positive, and the particle is repelled by
the water drops and driven to the outer
parts of the cloud. Here the increased
cold covers it with snow again, and
friction charges it anew with negative
electricity. Repulsion is now once
more changed for attraction, and the
particles rush back into the cloud, re-
ceiving upon their surfaces another
film of water. which is turned into sec.
ond ice layers.
Thus the growing hailstone darts zig
gag through the clouds. piling up its
alternate layers of snow and ice until
gravitation gains control and sends it,
with jingling crowd of its fellows,
spinning to the ground. Minneapolis

Free Dental Service.

Consul E. T. Liefeld reports that on April
% municipal schulzahnklinik School dem
tai clinic was opened In the German city
of Freiburg, the operations of which he
thus describes:
The dentist at the head of this school
clinic examines all the children in the city
both in their homes and In the public
schools. A report on such examinations is
sent to the parents. who asked to send
their children to the school dental clinic for
free treatment.
Those children having ten or more poor
teeth are first treated, an exception being
made in the higher classes where those with
only slight defects are to be treated. so that
they will leave the public schools with
sound teeth. After these worst cases have
been attended to. all other children with
defective teeth are to be treated the
younger ones given preference. The treat
ment of the teeth includes extraction, fill
ing, browning, etc.
There is no actual instruction in dental

Queer Positions of Hearts.
From st. Nicholas.


There is one curious fact which not every
body notices about the common, finger
long, green caterpillars of our larger moths
Their hearts, instead of being in front, are
at the back of the body and extend along
the entire length of the animal One can
see the heart distinctly through the thin
skin and can watch it's slow beat which
starts at the tail and moves forward to the
head.
Hearts of this sort reaching from head
to tail are not at all uncommon in the
simpler creatures. The earthworm has
one, and so have most worms, caterpillars
and other crawling things. Hearts in the
middle of the back also are quite as IRE
quent as those in what seems to US to be
the natural place. Many animals, the lob
6ter for example, and the crayfish and the
crab, which have short hearts like those
of the beasts and birds, nevertheless have
them placed just under the shell in what
in ourselves, would be the small of the
back.
