KNOWS HOW IT Is HEMSELF.
Sherif Tompkins’ Experience as a
Deep Water Farmer.
Sheriff Tompkins of this county is
@ granger born and bred; but for all
that he is not one of the single-breasted, muzzle-loading, half-cotton, ] er:
phyraceous clod-hoppers sach as are
-xrown on the agve plantations around
Marysville. . Early in the 60s, before the last great flood, he. settled
on'the Yuba below that town, buying
creeping age then, and the most aatute blackmatlers didn’t have the
faintest suspicion that it would ever
become the good picking for them
that it has since, He gargs uy
that ranch long, though. storm
came up, and although not: a_hard
one he saw that a man who didn't
have adiving suit and ag ark for
winter use hed no business running
afarmthere. He didn’t believe in
the kind of agriculture where it was
necessary to keep his crops anchored
to terra firma about half of the year,
and to build his house, barn and
fences on stilts, So he threw the
farm back on the original owner's
hands and came up into Nevada
county where hecould be above highwater. mark. He has been a successful grain and stock grower here. He
knows all about crossing the different. breeds of corn and hay and wheat
so as to get the best results. He
knows just what the condition of the
moon should be when horse chesnuts
are planted, and how to raise the
colts after they are sprouted. He
understands the value of slickens as
a fertilizer, and knows a pumpkin
tree from a potato stalk just as quick
ashe seesit. His hair is full of hayseed, and he can gee haw a ten ox
team over a foot-bridge if it’s only
strong enough. He's a thoroughbred granger, but one of the broad,
expansive kind who goon the theory
that there are other men jn the world
besides himse'f, There isn% a man
in the State that more clearly dis~
cerns the foolishness of the grangets
in carrying on this litigation against
the miners, and he doesn’t mince
words in gaying so. He knows from®
‘his ownexperience down here that
Nature never intended* ati of the
because the water drove him out before there was such a bugaboo as
sickens thought of.
A Convert’s Troubles.
Charles Johnson, who wasemployed by Jas. Kitts as omnibus driver
when the latter started the opposition line between this city and Grass
Valley over a year ago, was ono of
the most promising converts turned
out at the recent religious revival in
our sister town. He had been an
opium smoker, kept the lowest kind
of company, and was a hard case’
generally, as he admitted after his
conversion. He confessed having
done many wicked things, but there
was one important thing he forgot to
speak of. It was the robbery of
‘Wood's tailor shop in Grass Valley
some time ago, for which crime he
was arrested a couple of days -since,
His alleged connection with the
deed leaked out through aimissions
made by Geo, Fox, a State prison
bird of considerable experience who
was a few months ago sent from this
county to Folsom penitentiary for
burglarizing a boarding house in
Grass Valley. Someof the :church
people at Grass Valley are trying to
have the matter drepped, believing
the young man’s transformation _to
be sineere, Someof the authorities
who worked tip the case de not seem
to altogether like the idea of &tting
him escape for such a reason without further investigation. It will be
interesting to note whether church
or law will have the say. 5
Thauksgiving Parties.
There will be no lack of Thanksgiving parties throughout the county
this year. The Guild society at
Grass Valley will give one at Reform
Hall on Wednesday night. Thurrday might one will-be given at Hunt's
Hallaa this city by John Michell;
our friends at Moore's Flat will
dance at Jerico Hotel; and at You
‘Bet there will bea ball in Odd
“. FeHlows’ Hall. Probably there will
also ‘be similar gatherings elsew here,
but as to that fact we are not advised.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
ee
A Train Stranded on the Local Rail) Pead,
Tuesday morning about ten o’clock
the mixed’ train on the Narrow
Gauge 1oad met with an accident: after leaving Colfax for this city, Bewides the engine there was a coach
and four box cars, with Mike Craig
as engineer, Wm. Burns as fireman
and Dick Mendenhall as conductor.
The rain of that morning had lousenel the earth of the steep embankments (some 50 feet high) at
the ent just before reaching the tunnel below You Bet station. The debris had fallen on the track covering .
it for fifty feet to a depth of about
four feet, A curve hid the scene of
the slide from the engineer till the
locoinotive was almost on it, Owing
to the speed at which it was going
the train could not. be stopped, but
ran upon the mass, the @ngine and
cars retaiuing their upright position.
Engineer Craig was. slightly cut
but not ineapacitated from. attending . to his
Mendenhali was standing. in the
coach facing the engine, and when
the cqilision occurred he was thrown
‘forward in such a manner that hia
left hand went through the glass
an artery and a tendon. He came
near bleeding to death, the binding
being put on wrong at first. He
fainted, but was soon restored by
proper treatment. As soon as the
accident was reported to Superintendent Kidder he put a force of
The embankment coritinued to cave,
causing themen to be timid about
working there aud greatly delaying
operations, After dark U. P. Loughridge took a position on one of the
box-cars, and by the rays of a headlight warned the laborers of each
new slide, Yesterday the. trains
were runing On time as usual, The
damage to the rolling stock was
nominal, the cowcatcher of the engine being broken.
