long ago certain rancher, while taking
a trip over the range for the purpose Of
looking after his stock, came upon
Young calf that had been cached under
bush by the mother. The eyes of this
tender hearted rancher no sooner got
glance at the poor, little, shivering calf
when all the warm impulses within him
was aroused, and he said to himself, elf
leave this poor little calf here, it will
die of cold and hunger" so the sympa-
thetic rancher gently lifted the calf on his
horse, and holding it by the tail and ear
to prevent it from sliding of, he rode
home; but the blantant of the little calf
for its absent mother was so pitiful that
it caused the heart of the RANGER to grow
sad, and he killed the orphan calf so as
to place it out of misery, and for several
days the good rancher's family feasted
on young and tender meat Several
days after this the rancher's brother took
q trip over the range, and while in the
vicinity of the spot the little calf was
found, he discovered his brothers COW

then rode home and informed his big
brother that he had stolen his own calf.
This is the first instance known in Lin
coin county of man stealing his own
meat, though the ranchers' all agree that
it has been quite common for some of the
settlers to steal other peoples meat, when
they had chance. The rancher con-
sidered it such good joke that he had
