Land Not as Represented.

]. A. Whitaker returned the
last Of the week from California
where he has been on tour of
investigation looking over the
property being placed on the mar
ket by the California Colony Co. !,
the land ia located in Mendocina
county, about $50 miles north Of
SanFrancisco. He says the land
is nothing but q mountain range
and good for nothing but range
purposes. In fact Mr.. Whitak or
is thoroughly disguised with the
proposition and in unquestionable
terms pronounces the company as
incorporating the lands.

Fake Report Circulated.

The story has gained consider
able circulation the past few days
that Andrew Gilbert, who was sent
up from this county for life and
who recently escaped from the
prison at Boise, was seen down in
the vicinity Of the Robbie ranch, on
the Salmon. A thorough investi-
cation shows that there is not
single fact upon which to base the
report and the entire story is made
from the talk of some practical
joker in those parts. If Andrew
Gilbert is a big enough fool to come
back to this county it won't take
the officers long to get news of the
fact and nab him.

ton and has built up a clientage

An Exciting Runaway.

Some little excitement was caused
Wednesday afternoon by a horse
running away with a delivery wagon.
The animal and wagon belonged to
the Waxahachie Gas and Electric
company. He made the run from
North Rogers street across the square
into South Rogers street, where he
collided with a wagon loaded with
lumber. Ga North Rogers street the
delivery wagon of A. Trippe! was
struck and one wheel knocked Off
The running steed narrowly missed
striking a number of buggies before
the collision with the wagon. One
wheel OF the delivery wagon was de-
molished by the impact with the lum-
Der wagon.

Tho Monster Weighing Machine In tho
Washington Navy Yard.

Tho Monster Weighing Machine In the
Washington Navy Yard.
The biggest scales In the country
are in the navy yard at Washington.
They outweigh the largest railway
scales by fifty tons. The latter are
not to be sneezed at, for they easily
weigh as much as a heavily loaded
car. The navy yard scales are so ac-
curate that they come within a pound
of the exact weight. Railway scales
are considered good If they come with
in fifty pounds. All the large ord
nance manufactured for the navy Is
weighed upon this machine, which Is
some ten years old. The scales look
like ordinary hay scales.
The delicate mechanism is invisible,
the most intricate parts being in a
broad pit below the ground. The plat
form Is forty-eight feet long and
. twelve feet wide. Beneath the power
full machinery Is cement base laid
upon long piles. A solid base being
one of the prime requisites Of pow
erful weighing machine, it was found
necessary to use pile driver to Sc
cure stable foundation.
The machine Is regarded as the I'm
est Of its kind in the world and is a
splendid achievement Of American In
genuity. In order to show the ac-
curacy of the scales an official picked
up half a brick and tossed it upon the
platform. He then consulted long
brass lever and found that the brick
weighed just one pound.
The capacity of the scales is 15(
tons. Two twelye-inch guns lying on
a forty-eight foot car truck can be
weighed on the machine without tax
ing its capacity.-Washing Star.

On the following day there were
gathered together hundred grim men,
armed only with axes and stones, for
they had not gun among them.
Fortune favored the brave, for the
tiger was found asleep under rock
At once each man dropped silently into
the cover of the brushwood and piled
a heap Of stones near to his hand,
while one Of the most trusted Of the
party was commissioned to stalk to
the top Of the rock and drop q huge
stone on the sleeping brute.
So well was the work done that the
stone fell true on the tigers back, and
Immediately, with roar, the wounded
beast sprang up and, seeing his enc
mics, who leaped from their cover.
charged the line.
But hundred men, desperate as to
consequences, throwing stones with
might and main, are not to be awed or
turned from their purpose lightly. The
stones broke the tigers teeth and went
into his mouth, and his body soon be-
came a mass of wounds.
Turning, he tried to escape and tool;
his pursuers up hill for a mile, but
wherever he paused and whatever he
did he could mot escape the pitiless
rain Of missiles. The blow on his back
first given, effectively checked his
speed, and finally, worn out, he came
to bay under a great cliff.
The rest was easy. He was immed
ately hemmed in, and the stones were
showered>on him thicker than ever ant
hurled with redoubled energy. AS he
sank down the villagers rushed in and
dispatched him with their axes. =
