During the heavy storm of rain and
sleet which prevailed in the high
SierTas week ago last Saturday,
Herbert Dill, who was in charge of
the cattle of Ward IL Dill near High
land lake, had terrible experience.
He was out on the range and became
confused in the storm and lost his
bearings. All day he wandered about
in the cold and sleet. HIS matches
became saturated and he was unable
to start a fire. That night he stood
up beside tree not daring to lie
down for fear of perishing. Sunday
afternoon he was found in a delirious
condition on Highland creek, by
Dave Birmingham. He was taken to
Tryon's camp that night and the next
day to his own camp where his condi-
tion still continued alarming. Later
he was brought down out of the
mountains and taken to his home
near Clements, where he has since
been slowly recovering from the
effects of the exposure. Prospect.
The next suspicious looking
stranger of woman that tries to coax
the druggists of this town to violate
the law regarding the sale of poisons
and other dope carried in pharmacy
will get tremendously bounced.
mrs Appleton, accompanied by her
husband, who turned out to be an
inspector for the state board of phar-
macy got the Union drug store in
trouble $50 worth, aud the owners of
the Central had to pay similar fine.
The woman did the buying and the
man the pinching, the two seemingly
working together in the effort to
cinch the druggists. DIR. Landers,
who SHE'D at all sorts of traps set for
him, finally sold the lady who had
made several visits to the City drug
store and made slight purchases, a
vial of iodine and some other house,
hold commodity, but absolutely re-
fused to pay the 800 fine imposed, ex-
planning to tfe peripatetic inspector
that the money would be paid only
after lively contest in the courts.
And in them it will be threshed out.
