A s.NoGE.nANpED BATTLE WITH A MAD
nrSUD STEER.

ifl VII ~ LtsNt
lFrom the Kansas City TiMos.l
4 Spanish bull fight, upon small
scale, was witnessed yesterday npoH the
Kansas Pacific Railway at a small station
called Ogden. The fgnl was in q com.
mon cattle car, between Major n. b.
George, OF Kansas City, and q wild aud
vicious steer, which had By some means
been gored and trOdden down 10y the
stronger animals In tue car.
Ii appears tkat train loaded with
cattle, belonging TO Major George, had
been switched upon the Ogden side traeS
for the purpose of unloading the cattle,
and thereby saving the lives Of several
steers, which had lain down and were
unable, owing to the crowded condition
Of the car, to arise. All Of the cattle had
been relieved except one, large bOny
"cOaster'' from the Rio Grande, which
refused to got up. Major George escorted
10 the dr0vcrs never falling remedy In
such cuses, tail-twisiing, He mad
several hard twists upon the animals
/ tail, when suddenly, before the Major
could escape from danger, the enraged,
and, no doubt. irsulted animal was upon
| him, goring and dashing at him in fren.
zied madness. The first lunge made by
the animal caught Major Georges nostri
upon his horn and tore 1t up, the horn
also infictng a serious wound upon his
eyebrow. The animal was making des'
perate lunges to gore its tormentor, wher
he caught it by the horns and was tossed
ever the car like a straw. Prompt assist
aure was fortunately rendered, aud th'
euraged looking horns was beaten to th'
farther end of the car. Major GeOrgi
WAS backing out Of the car, glad Il
escape, when the brute made last des
perate attempt 10 vent It's fury upon him
The steer made rapid dash at him, jus
as he reached the door, and caught hir
between It's horns and raising him ~
? threw HIN over the fence and cattl
} chute. Major George sustained som
0 painful, though net serious, injuries, Il
beyond a slight disagreement, will SOD
be as sound as ever.

Not long ago died the Col. Russell
known In the Southwest as "Owl

private secretary. He was man Of in

was to be admired and notorious. Years
and years ago, while in the Missouri
Legislature, he got the soubriq,ist which
chung to him all the rest of his life, and
actually carried him out Of his political
career. Il was during a violent debate
in which he had shown an absurd POM
posity. that one of his political comrades
rose and quietly told little story. He
said that one night Russell, while travel

being n stranger IN that part o. NE coun

Another and Different Legal Beef
afou Concerning Canal Boats.

naOu concerning Nanui noHbh.
Judge Longyear of the L. g. District
Court of Michigan has given a decision
that ''seows' are subject to the navga-
tion laws of the United states even ii
they have no means Ofpropulsion Of their
own, and he seems 10 base his decision
largely on the fact that by an act OF July
goth, 1916, "canai boats without masts
''or steam power" wore specially OK
empted from the ''hospital tax laid on
registered, enrolled and licensed vessels.
This seems to be stretching inference to
its utmost 1t is true, for it is quite posi-
BILE that such an exemption might arise
from an excess of caution on the part OF
the legislative body arising from the very
fact OF a judicial decision that these
craft were not vessels in the meaning Of
the law.
The Secretary of the Treasury Is happy
over Il decision in which his department
can "eoncur," however, and manifests
4 sense Of the importance Of such deci-
sions with which we should scared y have
credited him, by having the substance of
this one, skillfully welded to his own in
ferenoes from It, Ielegraphed all over the
country. As The matter now stands the
decisions seem to be three to one still,
against The view just officially promul-
gated by the Michigan Judge. The
United States District Judges for New
Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania AVID Mary
land, have decided that these bosta arc
not subject to the taxes and regulations
applicable to vessels propelled by steam
or sails, while Judge Longyear decides
that they are. There certainly is SOME
defee. in our legal machinery when such
a matter must be left thus to varying
lnsal decision, without the power to gel
IT, authorltatively decided by a eour
whose decisions must be accepted
Throughout the land.

Amid the enormous amount Of talk
our people have INDUCED IN concerning
the recent attempted burglary a great
many have confidently stated that, IL
the alleged criminals should be
convicted, our laws would authorize
their execution, the idea being that under
our laws 1t Ia a capital offence for men to
enter house armed in the night time
with intention to commit burglary. We are
informed that their Is no ground for this
idea. 1t is a capital offence for a per-
son to enter house in the night with the
intention Of committing murder or other
capital crime, whether be is successful in
carrying out that intention or not, but Ii
is not held that an apparent intention ol
possibly committing murder in case
of emergency Is sufficient to make eapi
tai offence.
We do not know, and we presume thu
prosecuting officers themselves do nc
vet know the exact character of thu
charges to be pressed against these men
but II Is probable that If so disposed thel
could prosecute them for attempted bur

The most important thing at present II
collecting all the evidence possible sn'
keeping the men safely till they can b.
