4 THRILLING EPISODE IN THE LIFE
SOF BUFFALO BILL.

Buffalo Bill was at Hartford, Gonna
the other day, and while visiting Colt s
armory, the large number of spectators
who had assembled to see the famous
scout desired him to favor them with
an exhibition of his skill as marksman.
Bill gave the chew of tobacco in his
mouth to q small boy to keep warm, a
small piece of white paper was put upon
barn door fifty rods distant. B. VIII
liam seized fine new rifle, spit on his
hands, and in the manner SO often de-,
scribed by Ned Buntline raised the rifle
until his nose rested on the stock, fred,
and O picket was knocked off from q
fence ten feet to the left Of the barn.
" This rife barrel is crooked, said Bill;
SO saying, he hit it over stone to
straighten it, then shot again, this time
barking the skin of an old pie woman on
his right flank. A third trial and be hit
the barn fair in the center, and the
shout that arose from the assemblage
the joy of the spectators at his
success. Bill is Just as good az actor
as he is a marksman, which is very re-
in these days of corruption
and bribery.-Da,6uyy Neios. H. sa

THE SOLDIERS n oMEs7EAD LAW

THE SOLDIERS II OMESTEAD La W.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing regarding the amendments
which passed Congress last session in
regard to the Soldiers Homestead law.
The amendments proposed were various
and important, but they MI failed to
pass, except the following, which en-
bodies all the change that has been
made in the Homestead law "That
any person entitled, under the provi-
sions of the foregoing sections, to enter
a homestead, and who may have hereto
fore entered under the Homestead laws
a quantity of land less than 160 acres,
shall be permitted to enter SO much land
as, when added to the quantity previous
ly entered, shall not exceed 16O acres. I"
That is, that whereas the law of 1872
permits soldiers to enter homesteads on
what are called "double minimum
lands or lands within the limits of
railway grants, and whereas many sol.
diers had entered so acres each, they
are now permitted to enter whole quar-
ter section, or 16O acres Of such lands,
The amendment simply doubles the
quantity of land that may be entered
under the law. ".- .. ID. .a
