Nowitzki was struck on the chin and in the breast. Myers got him on the cart and appar ently he was not seriously injured. On arriving in town he went directly to Mrs. Miller's. He informed that lady he was not hurt to speak of, and would be all right in a short time. While she was engaged in washing the blood from his face, he began to act queerly and told her to send for Dr. Stone. By the time the doctor stepped in the man was completely deranged, and by sheer force had to be carried to the doctor's office. Here he became so violent that it took six men to hold him down add strap him to a cot. His ravings were such that a gag- had to be inserted in his mouth, And in this position he was carried down to the Athena Hotel. Yesterday morning Mr. Nowitzki be came rational to some extent, and talked fairly intelligently when aroused by Dr. Stone. Today he is much more improved but Dr. Stone says a surgical operation will be necessary to afford permanent relief. v V v Large Corn" Acreage.

Two intoxicated citizens early list evening started in to walk off a burdensome jag, and after proceeding several blocks, decided to take a jaunt down the Umatilla river. They walked along the levee for a dis tance of about two blocks when one of them lost his bearing and tumbled into the river. ' The other was badly fright ened and called for assistance. He was making a desperate effort to save his drunken friend, but he was so intoxi cated himself that he was unable to render much succor. People living in the vicinity were attracted to the river, and in the meantime Marshal Carney was summoned. The officer arrived just in time to save the man from drowning, those who had assembled were them selves too badly frightened to aid the man. The officer finally rescued the in dividual and immediately escorted him and his partner to the city jail. " Wants Small Tract of Land. Lee O. Ham, of Waterloo, Iowa, is in the city, and is desirous of purchasing a small tract of land near town. Mr. Ham likes the town, but it is not probable that he will find what he wants in the way of land, for the reason that at the present time, there is no addition to Athena, affording small tracts. There will be in the future, however, and when such tracts can be purchased, the town will be offering inducements to home builders. Cattle Grower'! Convention.

Despite the dry spring and summer, and the peaceful conditions of the ter ritory last year, there were cases of cholera and typhoid, the further develop ment of which was stopped by the No vember frosts. The chief cause of contagion is the water of the Sungari river, and the shallow wells which are located in unsanitary places. connected with it id 'some capacity until a few weeks before his death.
