0f the citizen, which contained
soaic silver coins, to hunt for the

appearance and culled a halt to the
proceedings. The hobos became
indignant at the officer's inter
ference, got saucy and threatened
mischief, whereupon the officer
promptly collared the most it-ions

biin for the city cooler. On the

Hotel the hobo showed fight and
Officer Miller about that time
didn't do a thing to him. When

again and was about compos

mide overtures with the officer for

concluded to rid the town at once
of the whole outfit, to which they
demurred, but Miller had decided
and wit'.i him action was quick, so
he pulled hi- g'i, faced the hobos
toward the depot and marched
them brl jre him to the other side
of the track and held them there
for a few minutes until the train
arrived, and then made them take
the blind luggage for pastures new.

torney Kby seems to have proven
himself,, hunter of mighty prowess
'id, considering tle during nohieve

"nngine that he can assume that
calm indifference charactciistic of

bound with his deeds of daring
among the "Hills whose heads touch
heaven." In justice to Attorney
''.by it is fair to say that he does
"ot lay claim to killing all the
game on the head waters or Mosby
Creek and gives the other boys an
opportunity to divide up the
balance between them. Mr. Kby
wants it distinctly understood, also,
that the story the boys toll on him
about his being scared nigh unto

high to get awa from one of the

COUNCIL NOTHS
Owing to the resignation of
Councilman Wm. dimming it be
came necessary, at the regular
meeting Monday evening, to ap
point another and accordingly the
the mayor and council chose U. S.
Martin to fill the unexpired term.
The cow ordinance was referred to
committee who will establish a
pound for the keeping of animals
found on the street, contrary to the
ordinance now in force. The
remonstrance to the ordinance to
establish a grade on Fifth street
was referred to committee on streets
and was approved. The bill of A.
Nelson for electric light service
was cut down on account of non
service. Mr. Nelson was ordered
to make a report at the adjourned
meeting as to his intentions as to
improvement of street lights, and
if a satisfactory showing is not
made, inasmuch as the city is not
under contract, the lights will be
cit off.
TMIt STORM.
For several days the clouds had
been gathering and threatening
rain, which wasb.fdly needed, until
011 Wednesday afternoon the skies
became suddenly dark, thunder
roared in the heavens, lightening
(lashed and old Jupiter Pluvius for
a little while turned the torrents
loose and gave the town a thorough
drenching. It cleaned the trees
and houses of dirt and did much in
the way of packing the dirt on the
newly graded streets. The atmos
phere was thoroughly renovated
and loaded up with pure 07.011c and
then Old Sol shone forth with
dazzling beauty, dried up- the
streets, and befoie night fell the
whole population assumed a spirit
of rejoicing because of the storm
About midnight it commenced rain
ing again and continued until day
light.
GOOD W1IKAT.-
Felix Currin was in Cottage
Grove last Saturday and had with
him a couple of samples of wheat
which he has just threshed. Mr.
r.nrrin had 10 acres of the blue
ioint wheat in this year wliicli
went 25 bushels to the acre. His
other wheat was not a good crop,
going something like 15 bushels to
the acre. He was looking up the
market on wheat, so as to deter
mine whether he should market it
or feed it to his hogs. Mr. Currin
has of late years paid considerable
attention to the raising of hogs,
and finds the occupation a very
paying one.
