Game Bag FILLED at One Shot.

II. j. Sheldon left his camp at Cooper City,
on the Pecos, last Saturday afternoon IN search
of game. Saturday night he camped at the
upper forks OF the river, and Sunday, bright
and early, was again on the march. About
O'Clock in the afternoon the burro, which had
wandered ahead, came running back, appar-
emily IN great terror, ears and tail erect, eyes
glazing, making that peculiar mournful sound
for which Its specie is noted, and refusing TO
be caught or comtorted. Not being able to
make out from the report of the confused
burrO just what had happened, MIR. s. cooked
his gun and advanced slowly and cautiously
on the unknown enemy. Crawling along on
his hands and knees for about quarter OF a
mile he at length doubled a bend In the river,
and there, standing in full view in the meadow,
and not more than $50 yards away, he saw a
huge grizzly bear with three cubs, and just
beyond the bear and in direct range with her,
an animal that he at once recognized
as the longsought-for elk. Neither
OF the beasts was aware OF his approach, so,
quietly rising upon one knee and resting his
rifle across the other, which is MIR. SIS favorite
position IN shooting, he took deliberate aim.
Bang went the gun, away sped the bullet and
down fell two anImals-in fact three-the
bear, the elk and Mr.. s. himself. The bullet
Had cut the back bone of the bear completely In
two, and, passing on through, had lodged IN
the heart of the elk and the extraordinary
task to which the rifle had been subjected pro-
duced such q violent recoil that the hunter
himself was stretched flat upon the ground.
Recovering himself speedily, Mr.. S. advanced
upon the prey, hunting. knife IN hand, but life
was extinct IN both animals. The little cubs,
on hearing the report of the gun, fled; but be-
ing only few weeks old, were speedily cap
tured, tied In bags and fastened on the back of
the horse-Sduta Fe Meas.

The Kicking Cow

The kicking COW is nine times out of ten
like the balky horse, balky because his driver
is balky, and kicky because the person break
ing him is kIcky. For several months now
there will be many young fresh mich cows
that will be called upon to yield and give
down their milk to man. This will be a new
operation to the young and often wild, sket
fish thing, and IN order to secure gentleness
and gain confidence with her great care and
tact will be necessary. A kicking cow is like
balky horse, the habit diminshes her value
at least one.half, and all for want of proper
knowledge, torethought or sef.control by the

hundred but that with proper care and man.

The process to guarantee genteness IS a

his own passions, lacks the necessary qualif

the calf should not be allowed to suck, unless
the person who is TO milk her 10 present, and
while the calf is sucking, this person should

The calf at two or three days old should be
weaned, and if you have followed the direc-

showing the results Of the past
years work. It takes a gloomy view
of the adoption by Iowa Of the pro-

of the growth Of prohibition in the south.

They attribute these prohibition sue
cesses to the sloth and inactivity Of the
business of Illinois, which is threatened.

tating and doing political and legal work.
The services of Rev. @. @. Bennett Of
Iowa, and other lecturers have been Sc

wisest, and the board recommend that

The election of Judge Craig to the su-
preme court, from the Fifth District,
was triumph for the liquor interest.
The election of members to the legisla-
ture requires active work in November.
They recommend that another construc-
ton be secured from the supreme court

that effect is now insugurated. The
treasury has several thousand dollars.
The receipts for the year were SII, $50;

that they favor q proper license system

A Midnight Sensation.

A little after II o'clock this morning
man in the incipient stages of Jim jams,
q. e. crazy drunk, was lodged in the STA
tion house by the aid Of three policemen.
The man, while crazy drunk, could not
be induced to tell his name or what he
had been doing. All that is known pos
ltively is that about II O'Clock
he came reeling and singing up
Fifth street from Robert street. Reach
ing Minnesota street be turned up that in
the direction of Third. Reaching the
saloon next the telegraph office, he tried
to gain admittance, but was refused.
Passing up toward Third street, he saw
three men IN conversation on the corner,
and without any provocation he picked
up stone and let it fly into the party,
the missile taking effect in the back
of the head of one of the party. gen.
tleman said to be from Winona. By this
time, Officer Madden, attracted by the
noise the man was making, had reached
the spot, and undertook to arrest him,
when lively struggle ensued, but for
tunately two other officers soon
came to Maddon's rescue, and after a
good deal Of hard work, the man was
lodged IN the caboese, where at O'Clock
this morning, he was making "Rome
howl" with his yells. In the meantime
the man hit had disappeared, so that
neither the name Of the assailant or the
assailed can be given.
