CARSON'S IDEA
Dcsire Experiment in Surgery
Lands Him in Chaingang.
Charles Carson (at least, that is
the name he is wearing at present)
is doing a 15-day penance stunt on
the city rock pile. (The city hav
ing no regularly established rock
pile, the village streets and alleys
are being utilized instead.
Carson is a temporary resident
of Mountain Home Whence he
came, or whither he goeth, deponent
sayeth not. At any rate, he had
been devoting much time at the
shrine of Bacchus, and as a result
the suggestion occurred to him that
he might improve the personal ap
pearance of a few men by slicing
off their heads with a razor. He
had the razor—had it in his right
hand, thrust into his overcoat
pocket. All he lacked was a proper
subject. Several men who appeared
to need fixing were approached on
the subject, but each one Beemed to
entertain some sort of unreasonable
prejudice against allowing any al
terations to be made in his physi
cal construction.
This unanimous reluctance so
annoyed Carson that he finally (so
it seemed) decided to carry out his
ideas in spite of all objections. At
this juncture, however, someone
telephoned to the Sheriff's office
and Deputy Winter Bwooped down
on Carson with the majesty of the
law in his southeast pocket and a
[determined glitter in both eyes.
He noted the location and general
attitude of Carson's right hand,
and the way he brought that self
same hand (with the razor it was
clutching) into public view wasn't
slow. And the way Winter de
posited that hobo in J. Henry Ross'
strong box was an interesting
example in rapid transit,
razor blade contained numerous
blood spots. (There was a rumor
to the effect that a fight had oc
curred in a hobo camp outside the
city limits Wednesday night.)
And thus it came about that
when Winter explained matters to
the court, His Honor decided that
fifteen days at hard labor would he
the proper tonic for Carson,

Well Drilling.
Phillips Bros, began operations
Saturday on C. E. Porter's place,
sinking the power drill about 25
feet. It is the desire to strike ar

is quite probable. In any event,
whether or not an artesian flow iB
encountered, it is proposed to pro
duce a well of ample water supply.
After completing the Porter well,
similar operations are to he con
ducted on the Tom Madden, Pete
Anson and Charley Abbott places.
