Into third stay chain put around the
front axletree just outside of front
hounds. The purpose of the block is
to keep the tripletree away from the
tongue so that the horses can work
freely. The draft all comes on the
chain. The tendency of the block is
to push the tongue to the right; the
tendency of the chain, to pull it to
the left. They balance each other and
the draft is straight

Any three-horse hitch fastened to the
tongue as a doubletree will crowd the
middle horse and make the team work
hard.
For driving the team put lines on
the outside horses, swapping checks to
the bit of inside horse; fasten inside
bits of outside horses to hame rings
of middle horse with hitch reins.
With such hitch as this in front and
behind there is no need of fast horse
or slow horse, of urging one forward
or holding another back. The draft
is equal on each, and each horse is
equally well guided or backed with
the lines.
I often wanted to take an empty"
out or bring a loaded wagon in with
two horses. To do so, put common
doubletree clevis through the ring that
connects the two clevis at the short
end of tripletree, put cleyis pin
through hole in doubletree strap. The
draft is straight and hitch so short
that tripletree will not rub wheel.

Lequminous Forage Plants.

A leguminous plant is one that has
pods. Some of the pods are very
small, like those on the clover, while
other pods are large, like those on the
bean and pea. There are many wild
plants whose pods are so small as
not to attract attention from the
casual passerby. But in all cases
the legumes are good things to grow,
for the reason that they are them.

plants supply protein to the animals
eating them, and also gather nitrogen
from the air by which they fill their
roots and so leave the soil richer in
nitrogen than they find it. Every
farmer should endeavor to grow somo

Custer Relief Corps Protests Against
II in Strong Terms

The ladies of the Relief Corps are
up in arms because of the prize fight
billed for Tonopah on May 3Oth. The
following preamgle and resolutions,
adopted by Custer Relief Corps No.
Is, at its regular meeting held in
Carson City on the 21st, inst, will
give some idea of how the patriotic
and high-spirited ladies composing
that organization feel in regard to the
matter:
Whereas, Memorial Day is one
which has been dedicated to the tender
and reverential memory of six-hun-
dred thousand of the best men the
American Nation ever produced, who
died in one of the greatest wars that
the world has ever seen, and of twice
that number of their comrades who
have fallen asleep since that gigantic
struggle closed; and
Whereas, the principle which un-
derlies the observance has appealed
so strongly to the higher and better
Instincts of the American people that
the thirtieth day OF May has become
sacred to the memory Of all our dead,
whether connected directly with any
OF the country's wars or not; and
Whereas; the spirit which pervades
the exercises of the day is one of the
purest and most elevated sentiment,
wholly at variance with the feeling
which leads people to engage in
noisy amusements and brutal "sports'
therefore,
BE it Resolved, by the officers and
members Of Custer Relief Corps No
IS, w. r. c., that we most deeply
deplOre the disposition shown by
many to make the day one of ill-con
sidered merriment, and even OF
coarse and cruel sport
Resolved, that we most earnestl,
protest against, and condemn without
qualification, the desecration of a day
which, in it's very nature, should be
the most acred of our national hOli
days, by the pastime of prize fighting

A Southern Pacific Train Thrown
From the Track With Deliberate
Intent

Two persons are dead and twenty
five injured, several probably fatally,
as the result of the wrecking of a
Southern Pacific passenger train just
outside of the city limits of Los An
geles yesterday. The dead are T. J..
Mcmahon of Santa Barbara and G.
Victor, of Omaha, Nebraska
The wrecked train is known as the
Sunset express. 1t appears that the
catastrophe was the work of train
wreckers. Several spikes were re-
moved from one of the rails and the
fish plates loosened.
When the heavy locomotive struck
the weakened spot it was thrown from
the track. All the coaches with the
exception of two parlor cars at the
rear of the train were derailed ana
thrown down an embankment
The injured passengers were
that some may die as a result Of their
hurts.
The deed was planned with devil
ish accurateness. Thirty spikes were
removed from the south rail of the
track. Then a hook was placed un-
der the end of the rail, to which was
attached piece OF wire that
extended across the right Of way and
was made fast to a section Of iron
pipe ten feet long. This end was
braced against tie and to the other
end was made fast another piece OF
wire. to which was attached a stick
about three feet long, giving lever
age strong enough to pull the rail
out of place The train was running
/ at a rate of thirtyfive miles an houE
when the wreck occurred.
