Mr.. r. H. Howard is one of the
successful farmers of this county. In
this Office few days ago he stated
to the writer that from six cows and
a hundred chickens he sold produce
in December amounting to over a
hundred dollars. This was just a
side line of his, and did not represent
the returns that he gets from other
branches of his farm. His success
but shows the fine opening in this
field for dairying and trucking indus

fort applied in this direction.

A THIEF SNATCHES
PURSE FROM LADY
MISS ANNIE FAINT, MISTRESS OF
PSYCHOLOGY AT INDUSTRIAL
INSTITUTE AND COLLEGE,
BEING THE VICTIM.
Negro Stole Miss Fant's Handbag
While She Was Walking on
College Street Late on
Monday Afternoon.

Miss Annie FAINT, mistress of psy-
chology at the Industrial Industrial
and College, was recently the victim
of an exceedingly bold robbery, hav-
ing had her purse snatched from her
hand while out walking late Monday
afternoon.
Miss Fant, accompanied by another
member of the faculty, was walking
on College street, between Eleventh
and Twelfth streets, about dusk Mon
day afternoon, when a negro rushed
up behind the couple and snatched a
haidbag which Miss Fant was carry
ing in her hand. In addition TO sew
eral other articles the hand bag held
a purse, but this purse contained only
a small sum of money, so the thief
was not very well rewarded for his
bold and audacious act. As soon as
the man had secured his booty he
turned around and, after having
reached the corner, darted down
Eleventh street. The shades of night
were rapidly closing in, and the rob
Der escaped III the QdIkHeSS-
The robbery was reported to police
headquarters, and officer Nickles
went TO Miss Fant's boarding house
for the purpose of instituting an in
vestigation. He asked for a descrip-
ton of the thief, but Miss FAINT had
seen the man only for a second, and
found it difficult to describe him.
The only description of the robber
she could give was that he was ne
gro, rather dark and of youthful ap-
pearance.
In discussing the robbery Chief
Munger, who has been on the police
force for more than twenty years,
said that this was the first incident
of it's kind that had ever come to his
notice. He said that he had chased
thieves of many kinds, but this was
his first experience with a purse
snatcher. Such crimes are of COM
mon occurrence in large cities, and
Chief Munger declares that the Incl
dent furnishes new evidence of the
fact that Columbus has grown TO be
quite metropolis.

Santa Fe landscape architect, recently

irving at FL Portal in the evening it

turn call his companions, in order that
they might get an early start for Yo-

with which there was connected a hall
leading to a bathroom. The tub was
filed before they retired and it was
again agreed that when called by
SCHNEIDER. Gregory should arise first
and take his bath, as he was the slow

About O'Clock in the morning
SCHNEIDER had a frightful nightmare.
He saw the mountains falling over on
him and called to his companions to
The noise made by SCHNEIDER awak-
ened Gregory and he sprang from his
bed, pressed the electric light button
and Jumped into the bathtub. The
shock of the icy water made him yell
and he awakened SCHNEIDER from his
dream and Reimers from his siesta.
They both jumped from their beds and
rushed to the bathroom and found
Gregory as pink as a blushing peach
from contact with the icy water.
What in the name of the blessed is
the matter with you, Tom?' yelled
SCHNEIDER.
Gregory looked up rather surprised

TO point out animal and human figures
on the cliffs his patience was ex-
hausteI
This gave SCHNEIDER and Gregory an
other idea and the next day. when at
Glacier Point. they secretly bribed the
porter TO show Reimers the various
human forms in the cliffs. They told
the porter that Reimers was a profess
sor who had come to Yosemite to study
the human forms. and the porter was
instructed to keep close to the, ''profss-
sor" and to point out all possible and
impossible forms. which instructions
were carried out by the porter with
such fervor that Reimers fed in de-
spair to the woods.
Reimers had his revenge. however.
by getting away from SCHNEIDER and
Gregory, and finding the trail and beat

his cigar. The suspense was over and
the doctor had not committed the
frightful breach OF etiquette which his
associates had feared. Now the Gus
