Notwithstanding the unprecedented sever

cattle held OF the range has been surprising
ly small. Experienced cattle men think that
the loss 20 far is les. than FIVE per cent; and
with favorable March it j. thought this
per cent will be but eighty increased. II,
on The contrary. however, this month should
show up ita average quota of storms. this
per cent Of loss will be necessarily largely
increased, as the cattle are unusually thin

on the cattle from the Rio Grande River ali
the way north 10 the British boundary. In
Oregon, even, where the cattle are allowed
to run all winter in The valleys without cut
fodder, ii is reported that large numbers
have persisted. In Montana, Colorado, Da-
kota. and other regions where Texan cattle
are wintered the complxiG;s Of loser have
assumed q serious character.

GEN. DANIEL 5. JOUBERT.
A Story 10 the Effect that he IS
a Fayette County Man.
Pittsburgh Post.l

Pittsburgh Post.l
A highly romantic story is told by
an afternoon paper in regard to Cen
eral Daniel s. Joubert, the command
erin chief of the Beers of South
Africa, in their recent war with the
English. Jacob Joubert and his wife
came to Fayette county in 1910, and
settled in Uniontown. Jacob worked
for Hon. Daniel Sturgeon, United
States senator from Pennsylvania, and
in lS4l when a child was born to him
he named it after Mr.. Sturgeon. The
family moved to Connellsville in 1915
aud in 1850 the old folks died of
cholera. The boy Daniel was cared
for by a neighbor who moved west
and then Daniel ran off and went back
to Connellsville. For an alleged as
sault and battery on John johnson.
on April II, 1855, he was arrested and
lodged in Uniontown Jail. Senator
Sturgeon employed counsel, and at the
trial the prisoner was acquitted.
Young Joubert stepped out .of the
courtroom, determined to leave the
scene Of his disgrace forever. Making
his way to New York, he took ship to
Holland, the land of his ancestors,
paying for his passage by working on
the steamer. At Amsterdam he made
the acquaintance of Adam Joubert,
his fathers brother, captain of a
ship in the South African and East
Indian trade. With his uncle he
made several voyages to the Boer
country 10 Africa. In 1862, hearing
of the American war, he returned to
New York. Enlisting in the United
States navy he served with distinction
under Admiral Dupont and others,
and lost an eye at the bombardment
Of Charleston, for which disability he
now receives a pension from our gov
eminent. He is next heard of as cap
tain Of a negro company in the army of
the Potomac. He served directly
under General Wetzell, and his men
marched with Wetzells other colored
troops, who, after Lees surrender,
took possession OF Richmond. After
his discharge he visited Uniontown
under an assumed name. The one
eyed young captain, still wearing his
full uniform, revealed himself 10 Hon.
Daniel Sturgeon, then aged over
eighty years. The venerable senator
was the e eff his obtaining the
500 placed on interest years before,
and its accumulations. After a thou
sand thanks to his ~uamesake, he sailed
for Holland, and from there to the
country of the Beers. in south Africa.
Becoming a resident and a citizen OF
