CLIPPINGS FROM THE ARGUS

geldings and mules, which have been culled from the Cornell and Winchester
herds at Tule Lake. George informs us that William heard, who went up with
him a few weeks ago to assist in gathering horses was quite severely bitten
by a mule. They had several head in a corral and were roaching them, when
