nearly SO tractabie or companionable

a species of sugar palm up the river

On this they get fearfuny intoxicated,
and wild orgies take place all day.
Parties of them would go off in canoes
and sit under the palms from which
the drink was obtained. In the morn
ing they would return extremely
drunk, and fights used to be the re-
suit.
Sometimes these fights lasted for
two days at a time. In our vicinity
they more often than not took place
at night. The natives then made such
an indescribable din with their howl
ing and their noises that we could not
sleep at our base camp. Spears and
showers of arrows were discharged In
all directions, and one could hear the
sound of their axes dealing blows on
the bodies OF the combatants.
AFTER a time the women would Join

about $4,000 last evening, and for q
period of about two hours the town

two real fires, however. The larger

Fourth and Fifth streets. The flames
Quilted the building occupied by the

several confectionery stores, five barns
and severely scorched numerous build

combustion OF new hay in one OF the
barns is thought 10 be the cause OF the

The loss totaled about $4,000.

the big fire, and it was destroyed, the
loss being $500. The other three

Where father watered all the stock

But now he has another way
And needs no trough or pump
He waters stock down in the street
And makes the lamblIins jump.
