Editor Has Tight Squeeze.

The Chronicle: While Rufus D.
Quick, editor of the Montfort Mail,
was working around his power press
last Thursday, he unthinkingly
stepped between the wall and the arm
that runs the cylinder The arm
caught him in the abdomen with such
pressure as to move the whole press
which weighs from 5000 to 1000
pounds, about three inches.
In a letter to this Office Wednesday
Mr.. Quick says: The lever that OPP
crates the cylinder and our Prouty
press ran within two inches of the
wall and in the hurry [ stepped be-
hind one of the levers, but took hold
of one of the levers with both hands
which forced my elbows to the wall on
either side Of me and moved the press
about three inches back, the remain
der of the force took me in the abdO-
men. | am now almost over the eff
fects Of my squeeze, but painfully
sore. 1t is needless to say we have
moved the press out a foot or more.

ADULTERATED GRASS SEED.

Due to the unfavorable season which
prevailed throughout the northern
states last year. both the quantity and
quality of grass seed, especially clover
and alsike. were not up to the stand
ard. As a consequence strong temp
tation has been placed before unscru-
pulous and unreliable dealers to palm
off on eager customers seed that is OF
very poor quality and vitality or that
which IS heavily adulterated with both
noxious and useless weed seeds.
number of samples of clover seed
which have been inspected by western
experiment stations in the past few
weeks have shown between 30 and 90
per cent of impurities. Recently enact
ed pure seed laws protect the pur-
chasers in good many states, giving
them redress at law in casa seed de-
livered is not as represented. In states
where such laws do not exist and
where it is impossible for one to secure

AUTOS AT A COYOTE DRIVE.
California Hunt Not as Successful as
Had Been Hoped For.

A large crowd Of San Joaquin cOun-
" residents assembled at the Boil
linger ranch. in the eastern part Of
the county, and enjoyed a coyote
drive. which was not as destructive
as the people OF that district hoped
for. as the animals kept out OF sight
and only a few were killed. OF late
the coyotes have been killing sheep,
pigs and chickens. The scarcity OF
dead animals has caused the coyotes
to invade the ranches and give the
farmer a lot OF trouble As a general
rule. these animals seldom attack
stock. but when driven to starvation
they become bold.
II was with the hope that a large
humber would be killed that a general
invitation was extended to the people
