4 Serious cutting Scrape Near lands.

Bob Freeze was seriously and
perhaps fatally cut in o drunken

tween s and ~ O'Clock on Satur.
day, near Lands, on q road lead
ing out to Saw. Bob and Alex
Freeze, Robert Sechler, Mack
Barnhadrt and a man named Kim
mons were all engaged in the fight
and somebody cut Bob Freeze
several times in the back, side,
face and head. The worst wound
is in the back where the knife
penetrated the cavity, not far
enough to reach any internal Or
gan, but made a long, ugly wound
which required many stitches Of
the surgeons needle to close.
This wound, 1T is feared, will
prove fatal. The other wounds,
though ugly, are not considered
dangerous. He, with Alex Freeze,
who was also badly cut, were tax
en- to the home of Charles Sloop,
who lives Near, and DR.. Edwards
was sent for. DR.. Edwards sew
ed up their wounds and made
them as comfortable as possible
and Mr.. SIoop sent them home in
his carriage. Sheriff. Mckenzie
was notified of the occurrence on
Saturday morning and sent Depu.

No trial has been had of the case
and no one seems to know what
the row was about.

Bring Rare Antiquities From Egypt

Prot. Il. NaVille, consisted of an at
tempt to clear finally the royal tombs
OF the first and second dynasties: but
much still remains to be done at this
site, n good results are expected
from the continuation of the work
next season. From these excavations
come slate palettes, jars and vases,
ornaments of glaze, wood, stone. car
nelian, amethyst and flint; flint
razors, ivory carvings, beads and pot
terry.
1t is a significant fact that many of
the discoveries of the last year are
injured by dampness, because they
lie so near the area of cultivation.
The wide extension of agricultural
Egypt resulting from the building OF
the monster dams at Assiout and AS
souan, has not been ali unmixed
blessing. Many of the noblest monu-
ments have been injured and will Ill
timately be overthrow by the en-
croaching waters. The relics of the
past that have lain safely in the dry
sands of Egypt are already beginning
to decay at the touch of the infItrat-
ing waters. A few years more and
the excavator will find nothing OF
value in places that are now rich
fields for archaeological research.

being committed here which for dar-

be surpassed even by the most ma
ginative OF writer's of fiction.
A few weeks ago. up the river in
the neighborhood of Hudson, there
was a hold-up such as Deadwood
Gulch or Coyote Canyon never sur
passed. A paymaster and his guard re-
turning from a bank with $4,000 TO

were held up and shot to death within
a few hundred yards of their office,
and to this day not one of the assas-
sins has been captured and not the
slightest light has been thrown on
the tragedy.
Recently in West Fo~rty-seventh
street there was a duel between two
parties of men. Each Of them was in
a big touring car and they maneu-
vered up and down the street ex-
changing shots like two battleshlps in
action. There Was another duel be-

they want to see the value OF their
investment before they put up the
cash"
