We hear that hog cholera has made
its appearance in Colfax precinct, some
of Mr. Chastek's hogs having the 'disease.
A friend suggests that it generally
makes its appearance 'about the time
that green corn comes and he thinks
that perhaps some farmers feed too
much of it on the start which may have
a tendency to bring on the disease.
The thought is worthy of attention and
the effects of the sudden .change to
green feed should be observed. Schuy

Nearly every farmer is talking about

man says: "We do not advise anybody
to grow winter wheat unless he is pre

Sheets a Mas.
Last Friday evening three men were
riding on the blind baggage of the Union
Pacific fast mail, and when the train
stopped at the depot they got off and
started to run.
One of them was immediately arrested
by Policeman Rector) but the other
two, althoagh called on to halt, failed
to do so and one was shot by Rector,
the ball entering under the right shoul
der blade.
The man gives his name as Alex Mc
Garvy, age nineteen, and from Buffalo,
New York, a railroad man looking for
work, and headed for Denver. Police
man Brock took charge of McGarvy's
companions ' after the shooting. Mc
Garvy is now at St. Mary's-hospital, and
it ia supposed his injuries will not have
a fatal result. .
An examination was made into the
matter by the committee'' on police of
the cily council, and the result ia that
Mr. Rector will be retained as police
man. So far as we learn, his conduct as po
liceman prior to this occasion haa been
all that could be desired, of coarse un
der orders from the chief of police.
There are all kinds of opinions in re
gard to the matter, from that of severe,
excited denuniation of the act of the
policeman, grading all the way down or
up, through ' explanation, excuse and
palliation, to down-right justification,
the opinions mostly emanating from the
feeling that the holders have in regard
to tramps in general, one radical declar
ing himself in favor of bullets for all en
gaged in the tramp business, and sug
gesting that it was no doubt fortunate
that this man was not killed, because
that would have necessitated an acquit
tal of the policeman, the inferenae being
that, as it is, the .tribe of tramps may
work around Columbus.
Policeman are like all other people, in
that they are liable to make mistaken,
and, like other well-meaning people,
they are allowed to profit by their mia-
We do not understand our city au
thorities to unqualifiedly approve this
one transaction, but they think that
under all the circumstances, they are
justified in retaining the ssrvioas of n
asaavho haa made a. good policesaaa,
and whom all regard as a man of 'good
intentions.

A Hebe Battle.
Saturday night last about 11 o'clock,
Policemen Brock and McGown, assisted
for a little while by John Burrell of the
water plant as lantern holder, had a
regular pitched battle with three ho
boes that the officers had arrested.
There was no special objection to the
arrest, so long as it appeared to mean
the protection of the law officers, a place
to sleep and probably a light breakfast
and a free ugo,n but at the door of the
prison they made decided objection,
showed fight, and did fight right lustily,
first kicking the lights out, and after
getting loose from the clutches of the
officers, making good their escape.
One of them afterwards came back for
his hat, was gobbled up, and-in the
morning duly sentenced to close confine
ment for twenty days with a bread and
water diet, when he declared that he
wouldn't work.
Policeman Brock carries the scars of
the fight on his face and says that when
ever yon see a hobo who seems especi
ally lame and carries a cane or two, set
it down that he is possessed of an ex
cellent pair of legs and can run like a
quarter horse.
At one time in the tussle, he and his
particular hobo fell into a window, each
man's head going through a pane of
glass, side by side, his own space, as it
happened, being clear of class. He is
sure the other man must have been cut
severely, from the look of the jagged
glass in the window.

Dear Folks: I have never given yon
our bill of fare, but here it is: Break
fast, boiled potatoes, bacon, beans, coffee,
bread; and for the other two meals we
have a change, but the change consists
of the same things. We get pretty tired
of the fare, but then such is life in the
army.
We will get paid Monday, and the
program for us, according to morning
papers, is that we go next week some
time on either the Scandia or Arizona,
both fine transports. That is the pro
gram now, but it is subject to change
nothing definite.
We are all well in onr camp, especi
ally the Columbus boys, Frank.
San Francisco, Aug. 3. The work on
the transports is progressing slowly, and
the delay in sending troops to Manila is
not due to any particular reason but the
force of circumstances. The Lakme,
Charles Nelson and North Fork' will
probably be ready to sail by Saturday
at the latest. The Tacoma took on
board today 160 horses and mules for
the artillery, and she will hoist her an
chor some time tomorrow and start for
the Philippine islands.

Sunday, July 17, 1898.
On The
Cuba.
Mr Dear Folks: Since leaving
Tampa, Friday, the time has been very
exciting. Onr regiment composed of
twelve companies of seventy-seven men
each, with band) embarked' on the
steamer Catania for this port At Key
West we fell in with eight other trans
port steamers enrouto for the same
place. Our machiuery broke down and
were left behind, but pulled into Sib
oney, .fifteen miles from here, twenty
four hours behind. We were nine days
on the water and had, a fair passage.
Three days out of Key West, our con
voy, the "Wasp," sighted a ship in the
distance, and we saw a pretty race.
After firing a shot across the bow, she
ran up the British flag. Then we were
in Cuban waters, as close to shore as
possible. The scenery was grand, for
miles nothing but" the most picturesque
mountains, o $
Sharks were numerous, and after near
ing this port, wrecks were seen floating
around.
At Siboney we anchored; there were
then about fifty vessels of all descrip
tions in the harbor, war ships, trans
ports, etc.
Sunday we started to unload our
steamer. It waa a tremendous task.
We were anchored about one-half mile
from Bhore, heavy sea on, and we were
taken off in row boats, twenty in a boat
At 7 o'clock' in theevening work was
suspended on account of darkness, as it
was dangerous to go on with it Sailors
from the war ships did the rowing, and
taking charge of the unloading.
Our company G., was left in charge of
the boat At 11 o'clock we were ordered
ashore.1 cWe found nobody to row us;
the night waa dark as pitch, but we had
to go. As we had over eighty pounds to
carry to a man and the bay was full of
sharks, we didn't care to swim. Finally
four of our boys said they would do the
rowing if we would take the chances.
We signalled ashore to wave a lantern
so we would know where to land. It
waa an awful task, as the sea was fun
ning high. I went in the first loadl
After four hours of hard work we landed
the company all O. K., outside of a few
duckings.
The regiment was then four miles
ashore: We started to catch up with
them, with a Cuban as guide. AH along
the road we stumbled over graves. The
fighting had been fierce a few days be
fore we landed. Finally, we found our
regiment waiting where the Rough Rid
ers had their fight ' We rested thirty
minutes About forty graves were there.
I stood overJ poor Hamilton Fisher's
grave. We pitched our tents, put every
thing in. Each man was given 100
rounds of ammunition, and we started
for the front, double quick. The fight
waa then on. About four miles, from
here shells commenced to pass over our
heads, but we finally reached the front
The cannonading was terrific. One gun
near us fired every minute for an hour.
We were put in the entrenchments for
twenty-four hours.
For four days we had no shelter, and
it waa raining all the time. Two days
we were withoat food. Now we are on
half rations. Every man cooka his own.
Hard tack ia the principal thing we eat
About a table spoonful of coffee is is
sued a man, a day. We break it up.on
rocka and boil it the best wsy we can.
Yesterday three small potatoes apiece
were issued, a can of beef one pound is
divided among three men at one time

package of tobacco; 825.00 was given for
a $1.20 rubber blanket.
We were hungry ao long, we have
gotten over if, but you hear no com
plaining. We stood four days and nights in the
rain, hungry, tired and sleepy, and the
boys never said a word. The yellow
fever is getting in its work, and it is
making cowards of brave men. Siboney
was burned to the ground the other
night to get rid of it, as forty cases were
reported there; strictest military law
prevails shoot, and ask questions after
ward. Excuse poor writing, as this is being
written on my knee, with an eye open
all the tirao we are within a hundred
yards of the Spanish line.
Well, we just came back from the sur
render. Between 28,000 and 30,000 Am
erican soldiers lined up in shape of a
horseshoe, the distance fifteen miles
around Quite a Jine of soldiers! A sa
lute of twenty-one shots was fired from
a cannon, one a minute. After the first
shot the band commenced playing Na
tional airs. We then 6ang the first verse
of America and all joined in three cheers
and marched back to camp.
We are in hopes of being seat some
where soon, as the rainy season is now
on. Every day and sometimes three and
four times a day it rains the sun comes
out immediately, hot as "Old Harry."

Andrew J. Stevens, a former resi-
dent of this city, died June 16 at a
Spokane hospital, after a lingering ill--ness,
so says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
He came to this city from Dee
Moines, Iowa, where he had been at one ,
time a wealthy business man. He laid
out Stevens addition to the city, the
land belonging to bis brother, George
W. Stevens. Besides the real estate
business, he endeavored to make a living
in the banking business, as agent for an ,
Omaha bank. He left this country, we
believe in 1872, and nothing definite has
been known here of his whereabouts. It
seems that ho -lived continuously at .
Cheney since 1879, except a short resi- '
dence in Seattle. Ho was elected county
superintendent of schools of Spokano
county in 1880: The Intelligencer says '
that the last few years had resulted in
considerable, suffering on account of
poverty and illness. Mr. Stevens bed
many good qualities, aad will be long
remembered by older readers of The ,
Joca.VAii, who had business transactions
with him.
