Getting back to Sharon, the Forty
miner, it should be said here that his
life was not always an open book. He
had his failings. Some time after the
| death of Mrs. Sharon, who had lived
to see him discard the cowhide boots
| forever, Senator Sharon was sued by
a plump, round-faced woman known to
| contemporary divorce litigation as
Sarah Althea Hill. She entered into
the contest for Sharon's money with
energy and zeal. For reasons which
the distinguished senator very we'll
knew, she said, he had refrained from
acknowledging her as his wife Her
counsel was David s. Terry
Broderick the Next Victim.
Odd how men and matters shaped
themselves In those days Terry was
a leader of the southern California
Democrats, who had his trousers made
with ample pistol pockets. He was
elected chief justice Of the California
supreme court, and had served just
long enough to become familiar with
the judicial routine when he and Sena
tor David G. Broderick, entertaining
conflicting Importance, adopted the
hair-trigger method of settlement al
the prescribed Is PAGES. Terry re
signed his judgeship, having regard fol-
ethics, and went to the duelling field

ry split it and fired. Broderick fel

became the chief justice of the Su

Later Terry pleaded the cause of hi
robust client before Field. Sharon
died, but Sarah Althea Hills suit Iivec

friends by marrying his client The
fight to establish his wifes claim Il
the Sharon fortune took on new en-

In the meantime Judge Field hac

circuit court, and the womans sui
was jumped into that tribunal at {
time when the supreme court of Cali

been a secret marriage between Saral

ordered the cancellation of the mar

forgery. The woman In the case, In {

A New Disease Appears.

Poultrymen have been good deal
concerned the past few months over
the rather widespread appearance of a
disease among poultry which has thus
far defied successful diagnosis, in
Guiding cause and cure. 1t seems
to take both young and old, and works
with suddenness.
Instances have been noted where
hens have been taken with the disease
and died within a few minutes after
laying. An examination of the dead
fowls seems to show diseased condi
ton of the liver, but what is RESPONSE
BILE for this Is not known.

KEEPING FEED
LOT CLEAN
Brick Pavement for Small Bunch
of Cattle Is Best-TiIe Drain
Laid an Ordinary Way
Is Reco m m n ed.
(By C. M. COULTON.)

There Is no good reason why the
feed lot should not be kept In good
condition, even II there is no hill on
the farm. If the land is level and
only small bunch of cattle Is to be
fed, q good plan is to remove the top
soil with road scraper to the depth
of six inches or more, and then cover
the surface with smooth stones topped
off with coarse coal cinders mixed
with sand.
OF course, the best way to keep a
small feed lot dry Is to pave 1t with
brick. This costs something at the
start, but the investment will pay
every time. The cattle are always on
dry footing and no feed is wasted by
| being thrown on the ground.
| II large lot of cattle is to be fed
the cost Of paving a large lot is out
of the question; but 1t can be under
drained with success. Tile drain laid
In the ordinary way. from 10 to 20 feet
apart, will keep any lot that is not
| located in q swamp in good condition,
even In the ratniest part of the season
Drainage will cost no more than
sheds, and unless the sheds are very
wide they soon become soaked with
the driving rains and mud is then
carried into them by the cattle, and
are little better than an open lot.
On our own farm we have two lots
of ten acres each, which are perfectly
drained. They are on slightly slop-
ing rise, and we place the drains about
20 feet apart. Perhaps 40 feet would
have answered the purpose, but we
decided to take no chances and are
satisfied with out investment, These
two lots cost us $500 for tile and
work, besides our own, but we think
it has paid, because our cattle have
been fattened in comfort.

Back. Then. to the Farm.

Richard Croker, during his visit to
New York last month discussed with
a reporter the high cost of living.
THE farmers are all right" said
Mr.. Croker. ut is the people who in
sist on living in the towns who find
everything too dear. In the towns,
you see. the expenses are as bother
some as the children.
"A little boy in tiny fiat looked up
from his drum one day and said:
"Mother, Adam and Eve lived in
Paradise. What was 1t like there?'

answered, when you eight children

use In snowy weather, when wheeled
conveyances do not make such good
progress, but 1t can be used on the
bare ground IL 1t is not too stony.
However, as 1t Is only the work of a
moment to change from wheel to sled
and from sled to wheel, 1t is not likely
that one will be used where the other
is better suited. The barrow can be
raised or lowered at the back to any

A man In Wisconsin has invented
what might be termed a "sledbarrow. /"
which is nothing more than the body
of wheelbarrow on runners instead
of on a wheel. The invention, of
course, consists of runner attachment
which can be fitted to the axle of the
barrow in place of the wheel, The

Thus, In 1870 another tragedy is
linked with the name of Sharon, or, as
they phrase 1t out In the Pacific coast,
with the long-dead argonaut's money
bags, says writer in the New York
World. Stretching wide the list to
take in all who had part in the de-
veloping situations of the Sharon
drama, there are disclosed no less than
four murders, three suicides and two
disappearances. Lieutenant Hesketh,
in the latter classification, was Sha-
ron's grandson.
William Sharon was one of the Gold
Hills pioneers. In mere money get

RaIston's Pathetic Death.
William G. Ralston, who had often
shared the output of his battered cot
fee-pot with Sharon In his roughshod
days and later sat with him on sofa
cushions in the directors room of the
Bank of California, had already start
ed the list. When the financial pinch
caught the bank and frightened Fris

good bad or Indifferent, Ralston &C
cused Sharon, and then took his own
life, 1t was polite tragedy. While
