Texas Cattle.

The cattle which have been driven up
this year. from Texas 70 Kansas. have
met with good dema1a'frcm those who
are desirous of restocking heir ranches IN
the country west and also from parties,
who are proposing TO establish new stock
ranches. Ii is said thar the demand has
been more active than has been experience
ed for years and those who drove cattle
from Texas have found II quite remunera-
tive. The fact that money has been made
by those who drove this wear, has induced
many 10 form the de ermiIation TO drive
cattle from Texas next year. In conse-
quence of the bulk of the Texas drive hav-
ing been disposed OF TO rancamen, there
can be expected but a i:mireO number of
what are known as through Texas cattle
on this market, but the receipts of winter
ed Texas have been fair and promise to
continue.
Referring to the demand for through
Texas cattle on the prairie from Ianchmen
We may be permitted to remark that We
know of instances of parties who drove
cattle from Texas to Kansas intending to
winter 3 portion of them, and who find
ing the demand SO active al remunerative
prices, sold ont.
The drive next year, as we have already
stated, will be increased in consequence
of the money that will have been made by
the drovers this year. There are plenty
of cattle in Texas. and We have no fear
of the supply giving out--ik- Z. Price

Who Pays the Piper?

Already the interesting question as TO
who is 20 pay the piper :" has been asked
in a legal way. Yesterday Mai. A. NJ.
Brown entered proceedings in behalf of
Mr.. Smith. pawnbroker, against the city
for Sc, 600. Mr.. Smiths establishment was
cleaned ont by the rioters on Sunday
evening, and he wants TO be paid for 1t.
The law in such case is thus explained
by Mai. Brown: The county is liable for
all damages resulting from acts of mob
violence. and that for all claims for DANA
ges awarded by the courts must come out
OF the county treasury. The railroad
company If generally supposed to be liza
bic for the loss sustained by shippers from
the fact that being common carriers they
are insurers; but il seems that d provision
exists in the law which SAYS that Facts of
God and enemies Of the State make their
liability as insurers void, and the ship
pers can come on the county for every
dollars worth of freight destroyed by the
rioters. The railroad companies also can
collect from the county every dollar of
their loss If they are SO disposed. but it
remains question as TO whether they
will resort TO such measures, as it would
in the end inevitably react against them.
TlRse damages will be collected lust as
all other debts against the county. A
mandamus will be issued by the court on
the County Treasurer. and if no funds are
available from which to pay the debt, then
the County Commissioner will be com
PEELED to levy o special tax, Just as was
done seine years ago in regard TO the rail-
road indebtedness of the county. When
the county comes 10 pay $40, 600. 600 the
pecnniary value of a riot will be Under
stood. Pittsburg Commercial.

was decided last month in the District

as the suit of McAleer vs. Jones & Starr.
The latter parties leased certain mining
lands several years ago, erected costly
machinery and worked the ground some
time. The property meantime changed
ownership several times, and the last
purchaser, who had bought at tax sale.

fighting this injunction has been re.
moved. the Judge deciding that even
tax title does not deprive the lessees OF
the ground Of their mining rights.
