Either he was struck by flying
material or rendered unconscious

arm and side immersed in the
.scalding water.
As Ins side cooked in the hot
water he groaned so loudly that
°t in persons in the house were
the time of the accident. He had
sold out his book and stationery
store in Des Moines, and had come
to Los Angeles to locate perma
nently, his wife intending to follow
him. She was at once notified by
telegraph of the accident and start
ed for Los Angeles at once.
Shissler was identified bv a but

taken in charge by members of the
fraternity. To make a long story
short, Mr. Shissler has had 5,1)00

Bold Attempt at Robbery.
The Des Moines (Iowa) Register
Leader says: Two unknown high
waymen made a desperate attempt
at noon yesterday when the streets
were filled with shoppers, to hold
up the C. Amend meat market, 8111
West Walnut street. A gnu flash
ed in the face of Milo McOuiston,
meat cutter, by the taller of the
two men who entered the shop,
with a rush was followed bv a de
mand to turn over all of the money
in the cash register.
W itli a daring move toward the
money drawer accompanied by a
threat to discharge the gun, the
tall stranger walked behind the
backed McOuiston
counter and
into a corner.
1 " Where is the >*>58?" demanded
highwayman as he forced him
self behind the counter. His part
lier was standing guard bv the
door.
"Gone to dinner," the startled
butcher said.
"Then give me that money and
I give it to me in a liurrv. ' ' '
McQuiston then grabbed a meat
j ax to defend his employer's prop
erty. With a rush lie took the
bold highwayman off his feet and
pushed him down the room, jump
: ing sideways to keep out of range
of the murderous looking revolver,
Things were about to come to a
climax when the door opened and a
woman customer stepped in. The
iel low at the door gave a cry of
warning, and with a curse the big
fellow turned and ran out the door
and down the street.
McQuiston gave the alarm at
once, and an attempt was made to
find the men. No one was arrested
who could be identified by the meat
cutter. The two men were describ
ed as heilig both well-built, middle
aged fellows. The taller wore an
overcoat, while the shorter wore a
sweater and coat. They looked
like tramps, and are believed to be
transient characters. The police
were furnished with no clue.
Milo McQuiston is a Fremont

at Squirrel.

Over $500 has been expended iu the

About $250 of the debt remains yet

Government to Experiment
Raising Coach Horses.
To help supply the demand for
prime coach horses, Assistant Sec
retary of Agriculture Hays recently
purchased in Chicago for the horse
breeding experiment station at
Greeley. Colo., the famous stallion
Thunder Cloud, eleven mares and
a number of fine range horses.
The Greeley institution is under
the direction of the Argicultural
department at Washington and the
Government recently appropriated
$50.000 for the purpose of experi
menting in breeding an ideal type
of coach horses. This new move on
the part of the Government is said
to be likely to lead to requests from
other live-stock interests to branch
out further and establish farms for
breeding other types of horses as
well as for breeding different types
of cattle, bogs and sheep.

J. B. Brown, of Logan, Utah,
traveling salesman for the Cache
Valley Condensed Milk and Cream
ery Co., was iu the city this week.
Mr. Brown is making a specialty,
with great success, of "Honeysuc
kle Brand Cream." This cream,
according to the judgment of all
who have tried it, excels any con
densed cream on the market. It is
put up in one pound cans especially
lor camping use and for sheep and
cattle camps. Every merchant who
tries an order doubles it the next
time. The Cache Valley Condens
ed Milk Co., is prepared to fill
orders for condensed milk from
dealers located in any of the neigh
boring states. The prices made
defy competition on the part of
condensed milk imported from the
east, and the quality is guaranteed
to be equal to the best.
The company is capitalized at
$50,000, and ov. ns four creameries,
situated respectively in Logan,
Millville, Wellsville and Hyde
Park, Utah. The factory is located
at Logan and has been in operation
about one year, and is a pronounc
ed success. It has a capacity of
45,000 pounds of milk per day,
which means about a carload of
condensed milk. The quality of
the product manufactured is said to
be of the highest, by all who have
tried it, and the demand for this
needful article of food, throughout
the territory tributary to Utah, is
being supplied by this home indus
try.
An old timer of Shotgun Val ley
advances the theory, and it seems
very reasonable, that a heavy snow
fall on the flat, low lands is of no
special benefit for irrigation as it
goes off two or three months before
the crofîs are ready tor water. It
is the snow fall high up in the
mountain ranges, in big timber and
deep ravines that acts as a storage
veservoir for the source of irriga
tion. This snow does not begin
melting until very late in the
spring and is not gone from view
until late in July and August,
then there is still plenty in deep
ravines that is not visible to eye
from the low lands.
Messrs. C. J. Trude. Ernest
Uden and others are in town from
Rea bearing the interesting testi
mony in the big water case.
To Remedy Abuses of Land Laws.
Important recommendation de
signed to remedy the abuse of the
land laws have been reported by
the Committee on Public Lands",
which has been considering
or sweeping modification lias
urged repeatedly in Govern,,lent
• , ,, : .
and the commutation
re port:
clause
of the homestead
discussed, and it is believed that
,, , , ,, .- , ,
ic repeal of the tonner, and the
modification of the latter so as to
require a prolonged and substantial
residence on the homestead acquired
instead of the present short period,
j dians, will do a large
the opera house on
are recommended. The question of
control of the grazing lands of the
Government is considered at length.
It is estimated that there are 300,
000,000 acres of laud in this coun
try apparently fit only for grazing
purposes, and the commission has
made recommendations designed to
prevent the constant destructive
work perpetrated on these lands by
trespassers and to prevent the fre
quent conflicts over public grazing
lands among different classes of
stockmen.
One of the recommendations con
sidered by the commission, and
which, it is said, the commission
has approved in substance, is that
the land laws and their administra
tion be left in the hands of the
Interior department. Another pro
vides for Congressional legislation
turning over the grazing privileges
on the public domain to the Depart
ment of Agriculture with ample
safeguards and protection to the
actual settler.
The report goes into a number
of other matters with a view to
protecting the immense public area
of the country. The commission
consists of Commissioner Richards
of the General Land office. Gifford
Pinchot, chief of the forestry bureau
of the Department of Agriculture,
and F. H. Newell, in charge of the
irrigation work of the Department
of the Interior.
Chas. H. Heritage, the genial
proprietor of the Riverside, came
up from Salt Lake citv Monday, to
remain, having closed out his bus
iness in the city. Mr. Heritage has
the bar fixtures in place for the
Buffett in the hotel, and will have
things in running order in a few
days. The glassware and hack bar
are unique and the place looks
very inviting to one who desires to
"have a quiet chat with a friend."
and doesn't care to have some one
"buttin' in."
George and Chris Harrigfeld,
Wm. Lalk and Carl Lenz, were
down from Squirrel the first of the
week, attending the water case.
They returned home yesterday.
These gentlemen were representing
the interests of the Harrigfeld
canal company, a new ditch taken
out of Fall river about two years
ago, and which covers 15,000 acres
of the choicest farm lands in the
Upper Snake river county.

Fred. W. Rising returned from
Butte Monday, where he has been
for medical treatment. He returns
much encouraged over the opinion
the doctors gave him of his condi
tion, who deemed it unnecessary for
him to undergo another operation.
About a year ago, Mr. Rising un
derwent an operation for gall stones,
and his health has since been very
delicate.
Guard Lowe, of the penitentiary
at Boise, was in the city Sunday
having come for R. D. R. Adams,
who was sent to the penitentiary
for bounty frauds. Mr. Lowe left
with his prisoner Monday morning.

\\ ithin a few days the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions vvill be called together and
the new facts communicated to it.
Only a few men know the exact
situation and the evidence the
committee has will be carefully
guarded. This means there will
he no disposition of the case by
this Congress.
Senator Burrows, chairman of
the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, declined to discuss the
situation with the correspondent of
The Tribune this morning. "Just
wait a while, all will yield well,"
he said with a significant twinkle,
and this taken in conjunction with
his remarks upon the statehood
bill and his veiled reference to im
portant information, suggests that
he has confidence in the reports.
While it is generally admitted
now that there vvill be no action
upon the case atjthis session it is
certain that several important
speeches vvill he made upon the
case before the session is closed.
Certain Senators have given notice
of their intention to speak upon the
subject. One of these Senators who
will address the Senate is a man
who was near the scene of the
Mountain Meadow massacre, and
