Mr. Frank Osborn came home Tuesday, after visiting in Pueblo for a week. The rain on Tuesday evening was a welcome visitor to the far mers of the valley. Messrs Nancolas, Denson, Wi mer and Adkins have their thrash ing machines running almost in sight of each other at present. About two weeks ago a young man arrived in the valley from Kansas and being of a pugilistic turn of mind started out on the prairie to find something of the same nature, which he found in the form of a badger. After a rough and tumble fight, lasting thirty minutes, our pugilist came off victorious. As there was no gate receipts, the victor was awarded Mr. Badger’s hide, which now adorns his parlor floor. As he was victorious in his first en counter he made another attempt last Wednesday. One of the Weary Williams that had been employed by Mr. Carl Lance to pick cantaloupes became weary of manual labor and left for the city with a pair of our pugilist’s pantaloons. The theft was soon discovered, and a posse of four men went in search of William, who was soon found, but had hidden his booty. When ac cused of the theft it aroused his an ger and he commenced to show' the sand he had—accumulated by sev eral years on the road.T his was a time for our pugilistic friend to achieve wonders. After six rounds were fought our friend made Will iam decide to return the panta loons and leave the country, never to return. William received a broken nose, lost three front teeth, received a pair of black eyes and other parts injured too numerous to mention.

George, the popular San ta Fe engineer, has developed into a cantaloupe king during the past week.

About one month ago my child which is fifteen months old, had an attack of diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting.

Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommend ed, and I decided to try it.
