City Without Private Houses.
Grand Rapids. Mich.

In one respect-a point not so fat

New York is unique among great
cities: Manhattan is a city without
private houses. In the last fifteen
years few private dwellings have been
built, except those of millionaires. In
that same period thousands of the old
brown-stone fronts of a previous gen.
Grafton have been dismantled to make
way for tenements and apartments.
Forty years the city has been under

A Near Tragedy

Wednesday evening about eight o'clock, as MT. and Mrs. C. R. Kelly were leaving their home, a bullet struck Mrs. Kelly on the side of the neck, making a slight flesh wound. The bullet was fired from a high power rifle by John Jolly, who was shooting through the side of his house, across the street from the Kelly home. Jolly had been drinking hard for several days and had fired several shots be- fore the one that struck Mrs. Kelly.
 After assisting his wife into their home Mr. Kelly summoned Undersheriff Clemons and Jolly was disarmed and placed in Jail. Thursday afternoon he was ar raigned by County Attorney Jordan before Judge Boyer and was bound over to the superior court under heavy bond.
 Mrs. Kelly had a very narrow escape from death for had the bullet gone an inch one way it would have killed her.

Lecture bu Wool Exbert

w. T. Rich, the Australian wool expert, who is employed by the American Range Wool Im- provement Association, delivered a very interesting lecture in the superior court room in Holbrook last Saturing afternoon. Owing to the bad condition of the roads, occasined by recent heavy rains, the wool growers of the county did not attend in so large num- bers as they would otherwise have done. However, those who listened to the lecture were well paid and secured a lot of valu- able information.
 Mir. Rich explained the system of shearing the fleece, and grad ing the wool. which is followed in Australia. In that country the wool growing industry is con- ducted along advanced, scientific methods, while in America old and crude methods are still in use in parts of the country.

Richards in- augerated many reforms h the office, the most notable of which was that of perfecting an ar engagement with the banks in the county to pay 2 per cent interest on daily balances of county money in the banks. Previous to that time the banks paid nothing upon deposits of county funds.
 MT. Richards is now finishing a two year term, and is seeking reelection to a second term. The record he has made during the last two years Tn office certainly entities him to reelection, and the big majority of voters in the county will no doubt look at the matter in this light.

A surprise because this is the first trip Crawford has made away from California as he was instructing the Areo Squadron of the state the last anyone heard of him, and an agreeable surprise as he is the builder and owner of a passenger carrying machine that he will bring with him on this trip.
