J. F. Jackson returned Sunday from
the Grand valley in Colorado where he
had been for about ten days looking
after his land interests. Ab is pretty
well known tho Grand valley is partic
ularly well adopted for fruit growing, its
productions equaling those of southern

he brought with him samples of pears,
apples, peaches, plums, grapes, almonds,
etc., which he placed on exhibition at

is raised through irrigation and the land
unimproved sells from $A0 to 8G0 per

An Army Tat to Flight by One Man and
"With tho Loss of Only Ono.
It was probably one of tho most re
markable battles that was ever fought.
The advance had been well planned by
the attacking force, tho idea being to
surprise the enemy at the dead of night.
Every detail had been carefully consid
ered. The advance would he hidden by
a wood, and thj first the enemy would
know of it would bo when the troops
swept out of the wood and carried the
camp by storm. There, were apparently
no pickets in the wood, aud there seemed
to be no possibility of a failure.
The colonel in command was gloating
Over his expected victory, when one of
his officers called his attention, to a
bright light some distance to the left of
tha advancing column.
"What is it?" asked tho colonel anx
iously. ..JSn'Idon't know," replied, the officer.
t"It ftiSednp there only 'minute ago."
"Weil if "ariy-ond snspected'iera;
here lie wouldn't go along swinging a
lantern to make a target of himself," as
serted tho colonej.
Tho column had barely begun to move
agaiu when a light appeared on the right
and a littlo to. the rear of tho one that
had just disappeared. Another halt was
made, and the colonel was tempted to
order a volley in the direction of the
light, but of course that would betray
the exact whereabouts of the column
and would be almost suicidal.
"We are being surrounded!" exclaimed
one of the officers excitedly.
Then a light appeared in the shrubbery
immediately ahead of the retreating col
umn. The first man yelled "Rifle pitP
and cleared the whole thing at one
bound. The second man was not so for
tunate. He stumbled and fell, and as
he fell he instinctively made a reach for
the light. He was the only man killed,
but his death completed the panic. Ranks
wero broken, and the retreat became a
wild race to get out of the wood.
And the lights seemed to dance here
and there, appearing at the most unex
pected points and adding to the confu
sion. When the excitement was at its height,
a man climbed out of a pit some distance
in the rear of the retreating force. Hj
stretched himself and peered after the
fleeing soldiers.
"Hanged if I wasn't cramped in that
hole," he said. "I supposo I might as
well turn a cannon or two loose, just to
wake the boys up and scare those foot
racers a little more."
He lay down on the ground at the edge
of the pit, reached his hand down to
some keys on a sort of switchboard, and
in an instant cannon boomed out. Then
he raised himself to a sitting posture, lit
a pipe and chuckled to himself.
Two or three men rushed up and
breathlessly inquired what the trouble
was.
"Oh, I had a little brush with the ene
my," replied the man with the pipe
calmly. "They tried to surprise the
camp."
?And yon beat them?"
"Why, they're running yet."
Quite a crowd from the camp had
gathered by this time, and one of them
cried, "Three cheers for the electrician!"
but. the man with the pipe raised hio
hand to stop them.
"The credit is not all mine," he said,
"Remember my able force of linemen
who ran wires through this wood and
made it possible for me to win this vic
tory.' Just .then some of the men who had
gone into the wood after the retreating
enemy returned with the news that one
man had been killed.
"What!" cried the electrician, jump
ing up. He hurried to the place .where
the body lay.
"Too bad! Too bad!" he said regret
fully, "but then accidents will happen,
even in a battle. He had no business to
catch hold of a live wire."
"Oh, well, there's no use feeling bad
about it," put in one of the officers. "A
victory has been won, and only ono life
has been lost."
'.'But why havo one lost?' asked the
electrician. "Of course it was tiresome
work in that pit, and when I got them on
the retreat I was glad of it, but I never
supposed any one was going to grab hold
of the light. It's too bad!"
And the man who had won the victory
could not be consoled. Chicago Tribune.
