some time after an accident, John
Tigerson was picked up nearly froz-
en- on Lime river, near Nora Srpings.

with 22-calibre long repeating rifle
and was premediated, for she wrote
letters to her husband, mother and

that the rabbits are so thick that
they bid fair to overrun the country
and become as great pest as they

and small fruits and doing consider
able damage. Over at Winthrop the
other day a point hunt was INDUCED
in and the days kill was 337 rabbits,
besides quail and other game. AT

rabbits in one day. If the Dummies
continue to multiply they will be-
come a serious menace. -Hopkinton

Hillsboro. N. NJ. March 1.-THE
feeling in Sierra county toward their
representative ut the legislature. Ju-
Ian Chaves is extremely bitter. 1t is
all on account of tho bill moving the
county seat from Hillsboro to Gutter.
The resentment is not so much on
account of the bill itself as the man
ncr in which II wa railroadcd
through. 1t seems that not a tax
payer in the county knew of the CON
templated change. The first word that
came was a telegram saying hat the
bill had passed both houses and been
signed by the gosernor. The fact
that II passed so rapidly and unani-
mously by both houses makes il look
as though there was a large Niger
in tho fence somewhere. The feeling
against Mr.. Chaves and Mr.. Hopper,
the main actors in getting the bill
passed, eliminated this evening i'm a
general gathering of the people ON
the main street of Hillsboro when eff
figies Of Messrs Chavez and Hopper
were hanged and burned. The gath
crlng was composed largely of men
of Mr.. Chayoz's nationality though
there was a large sprinkling of Eng
lish speaking people. kilograms came
In last night from Mr.. Chavez and
stating that the bill had passed
both houses and been signed by the
governor but this morning n message
from the governor stating that
would hold the bill ana not sign
it until he had given the taxpayers Il
hearing. a delegation has gone on =,
from this part OF the county to in

be done.
