not prove serious. He wa. seeming up the
steep bank near the residence of Mrs. N.
G.. Mcclure, when in some manner one
of the reins came loose. The team-which
was a spirited one-!hen started on a run
tipping the light wagon over and spillinR
Mort out in very demorahzod heap. The
maddened animals then started off in a
north-easterly direction towards Elm
creek, dragging the wreck of the wagon
with them. They travelled nine miles on
the dead run, when a freigbter finally
stopped them. The vehicle was a total
wreck, Sall that was left being the front
wheels and tongue. Taere was not a
scratch on either animal, which was
strange, considering the distance they ran,
and rough nature of the country.

The weather still continues warm and
salubrious, and stock men, as we'll as
everybody else, feel no further uneaslness
regarding the mortality Of stock this
season. In this country the individual
who owns neither hide nor hoof, but de-
ponds upon days works for his sustenance.
feels nearly the same interest In the welfare
of live stock, as the owners themselves do.
This is due to the fact that the interest is
all conferred in one industry in this county,
and that is the raising of cattle. sheep and
horses. When these go through the
winter with scarcely any loss, then it is
that ALL feel iubilant, for the people
know that times will be good and money
plenty. The winter of 81, 50. will be
marked as the mildest and most enjoyable
