Scon after he was wounded Captain Milton came to thig eity for treatment. While he was being nursed back to his former good health he received a letter from a friend, Turner of Nogales, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, his old home, asking him if, in view of his ill- ness, he would withdraw from the con- test for Sheriff in that county. The cap- tain up to that time had the field to him- eelf and he had been looking forward to the campaign with much expectation.

She was 162 days out from London and there iz not one of the crew whe is not glad to be here. On August 15 she waus on her beam ends. The mizzen topgallant yard came down with a crash, several salis blew out of the bolt ropes, and the pressure being thus relieved, the ship got on an even keel again. It was un exciting moment, however, On October 10, in latitude 36 degrees north, longitude 137 degrees west, the Springburn spoke the American ship Aryan, from New York to San Fran- cisco. She was probably in the same gale that nearly wrecked the Spring- burn, as the captain reported that “‘off the Horn" the boatswain and two men had been washed ove-board.

Three Deaths. gt HE British bark Inverurle arrived from Bwansea yester. day after a racher long run of 138 days. This craft seems always to make port with a story. On her first visit to this port, about ten years ago, she came in ?h her flag at half mast. A doctor, absconding from his creditors, taking a servant girl along with him and leaving his wife and children behind, was a passenger. In return for a pas- sage he was to take care of the cap- tain's wife during her confinement. The mother and baby died. Yesterday the Inverurie ecame into port again with her flag at half mast. During the voyage there had peen three deaths at sea and when Dr. Kinyoun went aboard he orgered the vessel into quarantine. — There is bubonic plague in England and the deaths may have been from that dread disease or it may have been deurvy. in favor of his friend. 4 FOR BABY BUATING California Fur Gets Cold Shoulder in Eastern Trade Marts. Waldeck Finally Abandons the Hope of Turning a State Pest Into a Large Source of Rev- enue. IRTO S Trade conditions have upset another fond tradition and the nursery rhyme that provides “A iittle rabbit skin to wrap the Baby Bunting in”’ must be revised in the interest of accuracy. Local dealers Iin furs, who have been interested in making a market in the East for the fur of the California ‘“‘bunn. or jackrabbit, have finally concluded that there is no money n the undsrtaking. This was announced yesterday by Herman Waldeck, who more than any other has sought a new fleld of usefulriess for the jackrabbit. This will be a distinct disappointment to the people of the San Joaquls Valley and other sections where the rabbits are so numcrous that they are annually killed by thousands in drives. Many of the dwellers {n the interior have killed rab- bits ag a basis for the market experiment, and the correspondence interchanged has in informational value to make up a fair jackrabbit literature. Mr. Waldeck tried out the entire prob- lem thoroughl He sent rabbit skins, prepared with care, to St. Louis, Chicago and New York, where they were inspect- ed. Considering the vast number of jack- rabbits, It was falr to suppose that the pest was likely to become a source of considerable ennual revenue to the State. tern handlers of fur, after a . have concluded that they will not pay enough for jackrabblt skins with the fur on to make it profitable to cure and for d the skins from California. ““They prefer the Australian_rabbit fur, in the f place,” ‘said Mr. Waldeck to an inquirer, “"because they found the fur to be better. They would pay only 10 cents per pound for California jackrab- bit skins properly prepared for thetr us When you figure out the cost of ammun freight, paying men for killing the and also count in the work needed > the skins ready for market, you that there is no mon. a concern to treat i fur T think MARCUS P.
