Big Cattle Shipment.

This week there was shipped from Blackberry to the pastures of Colorado 100 head of cattle. The greater part of the shipment was steers from two to six years old. All the cattlemen in the east end of the county contributed to the shipment. It is said that more than 40,O00$ was paid out by the pur- chasers for these cattle. Last week a small shipment was made from King man. which will be followed up later by another shipment. The ranges of the county are getting short of feed and the cowmen are taking the pre- caution of relieving the range of sur plus stock. Under proper conditions Mohave county will become one of the best stock sections of the country, but the stock raiser will have to make some provision for carrying their stock over the dry seasons. This can be done by having a home ranch, where alfalfa or other grass products can be raised in quantity to feed during short seasons.

6aboon, Ape, Monkey, or chimpanzee

w. H. Hall, John E. Hughes and John H. Ware, of Chloride, are re- sponsible for story that has to do with some strange animal. allied to the simian specie, which they claim to have discovered on trip across the Sacramento Valley last Sunday. The animal was seen near the top of a tel ephone pole, but on their close ap- proach it climbed down hand over hand until it reached the ground, when it disappeared in the under growth. Mr. Hall stated that he could have shot the thing. but it appeared too human to him to kill it. The monkey, or whatever it is, was seen by the stage driver on another occas- ion, but he was alone and did not care to bring the merry ha ha on himself by telling the story. But Chloride has been agog with things material and immaterial the past week, and following the advent of Mrs. Barrow and her dissemination of occultism among the people of that section we may expect to hear of many seeing things"

Chronic Rheumatism.

This is the variety of rheumatism that usually attacks the larger joints, knees, hips and shoulders. It is az gravated by cold and damp weather, and for this reason man afflicted with it can often foretell changes in the weather. Chamberlain Liniment applied freely and with vigorous rub ping relieves the pain and makes sleep and rest possible. It will also effect a cure, but will not prevent the recur- renee of the disease.

 Peter B. Hodges, of Yuma, cousin of the Gross family of this county, was shot and instantly killed by a Mexican near the old Fortuna mine, few days ago. The Mexican was taking Hodges to see mine which he claimed was fabulously rich, and when in the sand desert near Fortuna departed from the camp on some pretext, and circling round got in position to get good shot at Hodges and his companion. Hodges was killed and his companion wounded in the leg. The Mexican was captured in the Gila river bottom Monday, the officers coming up on him while he slept in an adobe cabin. No reason is assigned for the killing.
 w. E. Moroney, District Attorney of this county, and James Irvine went up to Flagstaff last Saturday to attend the session of the Knights of Columbus, of which order they are members.

Hypnotism and the Faker.

Last week Friday, at Chloride, Mrs. Anna J. Barrow, who claims to hail from Los Angeles, gave an exhibition of hypnotism to the people of the town with somewhat disastrous results. Dur ing her lecture on magnetism and hyp- notism she called for volunteers and finally Miss Gertrude Sherman, of Mineral Park, volunteered to become subject. The young woman yielded readily to the hypnotic influences of the woman, but when being brought out of the stupor she became hysteri- cal and passed back into a comatose condition from which she was aroused with great difficulty. The presence of the woman had an irritating influence on the girl and she could do nothing with her. Miss Sherman was taken to her home at Mineral Park and is still in a nervous condition. From Mir. Harris, who saw the young lady Thurs day last, we learn that she is in a high strung, nervous condition and so weak that she can hardly walk, and that complete recovery may be matter of months.
 Mrs. Barrow called at the MINER office few days ago and threatened the editor with all sorts of dire things should he make any inviduous mention of her in the paper. It is too bad that our statute books contain no punish ment for fakers that work on the credulity and ignorance of people, but allow them to roam at will over the country doing no good, but much harm by the practices of their methods.
