Wildcats
XIII Dogs
In Fight at
Lacrosse

A fight between three wildcats, two
Genoa farmers and three hunting dogs
on the Mississippi bluffs near La
Crosse resulted in the death of one of
the wildcats and the loss of two of the
dogs.
The farmers engaged ia the unusual
adventure are Henry Miller and Ro-
bert Brown. Mr. Miller Genoa far
mer, who years ago, held widespread
reputation as hunter, told the story
of the killing of the wildcat in La
Crosse Monday.
Residents of the coulees and bluffs
in the vicinity of Genoa and Victory
have been annoyed for months by in
creasing depredations of the wildcats
Numerous hunting expeditions, accor-
ding to Mr.. Miller failed to locate the
ferocious creatures in the most distant
! parts of the bluff country.
Hen roosts were frequently raided.
There were accounts told by farmers of
frequent visits by the beasts to fields
where stock grazed. Horses and sheep
were sometimes attacked and there
were even vague stories of persons in
carriages returning home late at night
whose horses were jumped upon by the
| wildcats.
Miller and Brown, both past middle
| life, but the owners of priced hunting
dogs, decided to tackle the haunts OF
the wildcats and Saturday morning they
set forth. They took three dogs.
The dogs caught the scent of the
cats during the morning." said Mil
Ter, and we ran across them about
three O. clock in the afternoon The
| dogs covered distance, / would Judge
to be twenty five miles in length and
we followed them. Sometimes the
sound of their barking would be lost
altogether. Finally, when we were
getting. weary from the tramp, the
sound of the dogs barking came closer
and we found the animals had been
freed.
Miller fired. One of the wildcats fe
; and his death was the signal, Miller
says, for the remaining two to put
themselves in action.
One of the animals jumped for me,
the old hunter said, land the other, not
much more than cub, leaped for the
dogs. [ lodged, and the wildcat went
over my head. Wheeling, l tried to
get aim with my rifle, but the dogs
were in the way
Each animal selected one of the
dogs. They leaped upon their backs
before the dogs could wink an eye, and
they tore the very life out of them.
Two were killed and the third badly
torn, before the cats scurried off with
out giving Us an opportunity for
shot. 1t all happened in an instant

county, town or other municipality, a
copy thereof may be filed with the
secretary of state or the clerk of the
municipality employing the debtor and
the claim paid out of the salary or wa
ges due the debtor The new law pro-
vides that the debtor may avail him
self of exemptions authorized by the
general garnishment law. He is also
given the right of appeal.

.................. ................'.
In April both Margaret and Howard
had smallpox. Almost before the lat
ter had recovered from that, he con-
tracted tropical dysentery, which has
been carrying off hundreds all through
this country for some months. Three
hundred babies were buried in this
, to N. Bucarmanga, Columbia, South
America, from that one disease during
June and July. But little Howard
was an unusually strong, robust child,
VINO at seven mon tbs weighed only six
, pounds less than his little sister, two
years older, and he fought the disease
/ to the amazement of the DOCTORS For
almost two months he still resisted and
chung to life, although it was but a
feeble spark of life that was left
him.
Then at last we succeeded in getting
him out of the pest ridden city by the
kindness of a wealthy man who Of
fered us the use of his villa, two
miles out of the city and up a
mountain side. For few weeks he
seemed to rally and we began to hope
again, when suddenly he was attacked
by pneumonia in both lungs. He sank
under it rapidly. There was no hope
of saving him from the first.
Burial at Evening
He died at midday AS the law
does not permit the keeping of corpse
over night in this climate, we had to
bury him at 5 O'Clock the same day.
We were alone up here on the noun
tain. But we carried our precious dead
, in our arms to the city where friends
rallied around Us, accompanied us to the
cemetery and covered the tiny grave
with flowers. AS Mr.. Williams is the
only Protestant minister here, he was
forced to conduct the short service him
self. 1t was exceedingly hard for him
to do it, but for what the loving Father
asks us to do, He supplies the needed
, strength
Our frie nds have been very kind. In
every way that is possible to them they
have tried to show their sympathy. AS
every house is in mourning, as almost
every heart in this city has been bro
ken by some loss, the sympathy offered
us, is at least, heartfelt.
At present we are ali well. Mr..
Williams goes down to the city
every morning at six and returns
in the evening. l shall remain
here on the mountains with the two
children for two weeks longer Then,
as Mr.. Williams must go to Barran-
quilla to attend missionary confer
ence, l shall be obliged to take charge
of the work alone, and must return to
the city to do it. We would be glad to
remain here some months on account of
the unsanitary condition of the city at
present. But the necessity of someone
being at the helm during Mr.. Williams
absence makes that impossible. You
know that we are alone in this isolated
station. There are no other mission
aries within ten days journey of US.
Mr.. Williams will be gone month.
1t is difficult to understand why God
should call the strongest, best cared fer
baby in all this city, to Himself, while
80 many naked, puny, halfstarved in
fants still live. But we, although we
may not understand, still can say,
BLESSED be God," who comforteth Us
in all our tribulation, that we may be
able to comfort them which are in any
trouble, by the comfort wherewith we
ourselves are comforted of God.
MAUDE NEWELL WILLIAMS.

THE LAYMAN'S DUTY

There never was time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization did
not shrek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the Beginning OF gov
ernment, politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry into the meshes Of
politics and make them carry banners
in political professions They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top OF power and offered to make them
monarch of all they surveyed, and
while most OF them have said, Get
thee behind me Satan, a few have
fallen with a crash that has shaken
every pulpit in Christendom.

there was quite large up river trade
and steamboats, made the trip up
river as far as Ehrenberg.
At that time there was a govern
men fortt on what is now the Indian
school hill, and supplies for these
soldiers as well as those who were
stationed at Ehrenberg and at the
forts further inland had to be freight
cd up the Colorado river.
Freight in those times was not
charged for by the weight but accord
ina to the amount of space it took
up. A broom, according to Miss Post
vas charge up with the amount of
space occupied by a box as long as
the broom and as wide as it was at
the head.
Food was in proportion to the
freight Board without room was for
ty dollars per month. Eggs were a
dollar a dozen and milk a dollar a
gallon.
Yuma in 1872 is described by Miss
Post as follows:
There were only five Americans,
counting both men and women who
lived in Yuma in 1872, that are still
living here Main street was just as
at present, but there are only two
houses upon it that were standing at
that time. One is the adobe house on
the west side, adjoining the railroad
freight depot, and the other is the.
house next to it, on the same side,
the upper of the two houses belong
ing to Mrs Harry Neahr The steam
ers landed at the foot of Main street
and a crowd always gathered to see
the arrival and departure so that on
steamer days the street presented
quite a lively appearance. Gila street
was as it is at present, but not
single house is standing upon it that
was there in 1872. Madison avenue

Second street north to First street it
ran about 100 feet farther east than
at present. The street was straight
ened when the railroad came through
in 1877 First and Second streets end
ed toward the west, at the foot OF
| the hill. On and near Madison Ave.
there are nine houses still standing
that were there in 1872, most of
them so metamorphosed as to be I'M
recognizable. The only other house
OF that time still standing is the
adobe house east of the levee on
the banks of the lagoon. In the sec

extending towards the south and west

POLITICAL PRAYER NEE TINGS

1t is sad day for Christianity when
the church bells call the communicates
together for a political prayer meet
ing. Such gatherings mark the high
tide of religious political fanaticism,
put bitterness into the lives of men;
fan the flames Of class hatred and de-
stroy Christian influence in the com
munity The spirit actuating such
meetings is anarchlstic, un-ChTistllke

AN EARTHQUAKE


There was a heavy earthquake last
Tuesday night, and, while it was
very slight in Parker, but few people
feeling it, at Bouse the tremor was
sufficiently strong to break several
windows. But it was down in the
Imperial valley where the real shock
took place and according to dis
patches from Ell Centro, eight people
are reported dead, and damage esti-
mated at $1,00O,O0O as a result of the
quake.
Several towns were partially wreck
ed by the earthquake and the result
ant fire. The disturbance originated
somewhere in the old volcanoes of
the Cocopah mountains, the granite
backbone of lower California All of
the dead are reported at Mexicali, an
adobe town across the line from Cal
exlco, consisting mostly of saloons,
gambling houses and resorts not per-
mitted on the American side.
El Centre suffered more damage
than any other town. The five killed
at Mexicali We're caught by a falling
wall
The earthquake left undamaged the
large irrigation system Martial law
has been proclaimed at Mexicali
The shocks apparently were sever
est at the border and further south,
diminishing in violence further north
On either side of the Ell Centro bus
mess streets there are ruined build
ings, some are completely razed and
others opened with gaping holes.
The streets are closed to automobiles
and pedestrians have been warned to
keep to the center of the streets.
The first shock came at 8:05p. m.
1t was slow and prolonged tremor
a moment later came short sharp
shock.
