One of the opponents of Gardner
who fought the Col. on the
grounds that he sent liquor to

Some COOns

Ii is seldom that old Mrs. Coon
will lead her entire family ex-
cept old Mr.. Coon in a place
where it will be caught and ex-
tinguished, but such was the
case on the night of July 4.
Uncle Maion Cox and his wife
had retired and enjoying a good
sleep when awakened by the
barking of their dogs. This was
nothing unusual except that the
dogs kept up their racket. Un-
Gle Marion settled his wifes ap-
prehension by saying that there
weres ONE boys passing from the
celebration in town that night,
so no investigation was made.
Next morning about daylight,
Uncle Marion arose and went out
in the yard for a breath of morn
ing air. He saw one of the dogs
lying under the walnut tree,
which stands in the yard, unable
to bark but still on the job watch
ing what Uncle Marion saw to
be a coon in the top of the tree.
He went for his gun and shells,
only two of which he had on the
place. Blazing away, down
came a big coon and six others
nearly grown scattered about on
the limbs. Uncle Marion let &c
the other barrel and one of these
was his. He left the dog or
watch while he went to one ot
the neighbors and got more am.
munition and bagged the other
five, making seven coons in one
short before breakfast hunt fol
the old time coon hunter.
The fact that old Mr.. Coon had
no curiosity concerning the
whereabouts of his family saved
his hide and bacon, for tho near
Iy 80 years old, Uncle Marion car
still hit EN- on the wing as vel
settin.

SEVERAL GOOD RAINS
Soakers No Wind or Thunder
Corn Generally Helped
Grass Started

The long hoped for rain came
this week, beginning Sunday
night and continuing most of
Monday mornining and again
Tuesday. While there was not
as much as needed, the crops of
all kinds are greatly benefited
and trade stimulated to a con-
siderable extent. Grass which
had withered until there was
none anywhere has begun to
show up and wells which were
all but dry supplied with a fair
quantity of water.
Feeling among farmers is much
better and merchants have a
happier expression over the pros
pect for much more corn than
could have been hoped for last
week. Young corn is said to be
greatly helped by the rain and
that which will make no corn
will now make a lot of good feed.

Letter From Arizona

We are just in receipt of a
letter from Mrs. ]. A. Coll who
with her son ]. P. are visiting
her daughter, Mrs. T. G. Wright
in Nogales, Ariz.
Mr.. Wright is City Ticket
agent for the Southern Pacific
Railroad Co., in Nogales, which
is now one of the busiest cities
on the Mexican border, having
a population of 5000 and besides
this there are $1,000 U. S.
Soldiers encamped there.
In case of war with Mexico,
Nogales will be a most stragetic
point from the fact that the s. P.
Co. have a line running from
Nogales to Mexico City, which
our government have already
made preparations to use should
war be declared.
On their trip West Mrs. Coll
visited relatives in Alva. Okla
and Amarillo. Tex. In a few
days accompanied by Mr.. Wright
and family they will leave for
a tour of Calf, visiting in Los
Angeles. San Francisco and stop
ping for a week at Lake Tahoe,
the famous summer resort. Re-
turning home via Salt Lake City
and Denver. Mrs. Wright has
placed her name on the roll as
one of the many who wish tc
read the columns of the Courier
