We are requested by number of stock
men to say that Monday, May Z, will be stall
lion day in Lexington. The season being so
backward there was no agreement for the
first Monday in April, and the show then was
not what it should be for this county. Let
everybody come in that can with their horses,
jacks, mares and colts. a7td

In speaking at some length Of the burning
of the car load of horses at MAYHEM, else
| where mentioned by our correspondent, the
Saline county Progress says:-"The car wal
bound for Colorado Springs, and loaded a,
Shackelford, Saline county, with horses as
| follows: For DR.. Tucker, two; Messrs
Jerry Sims and J. B. Sims, eight; Mr.. W. X
Clay, three; Mr.. Geddings, merchant al
Colorado Springs, one; Mr.. Jas. Lankford
one, and Judge VIM. Harrison, Of Colorado
| Springs, one. Mr.. j. B. Sims, of Colorado
| who has been here for some time and was OF
his way back to Colorado, had charge of thu
| car. He says that they started from Shackel
ford at about one o'clock in the afternoon, ane
that he told the conductor not to put the cal
| in which the horses were, next to the locomo
| tive /; that it was long train and the car wa
put about third or fourth from the front, ant
that as the cars were switched off and left a
the various stations, it left the horse car Ii
front, next to the engine. This was the fata
causeOf the terrible affair. DR.. fuckers tin'
animal Edward, which he bought from Majo
Harrison, was one of the victims. of thi
awful equine tragedy. He was as well know
| to our citizens as almost any man IL
town, and there will be many a sigh amoni
the little folks who have ridden behind Ed
ward when they learn of his fearful fate. MI
j. B. Sims had fine Trojan-Mambrino stal
lion on the car, which he said to-day that h
would not have taken $500 for. Mr.. jaime
Lankford, brother OF our excellent circui
clerk, who lives in Colorado, but who ha
been on visit among his relatives and friend
in this county since the first Of December, a
so shipped very fine stallion in the cal
which he bought from Mr.. Will Goldman onl
last Saturday. 1t was very well-bred an
valuable animal of the Volunteer -Golddus
stock. Mr.. Sims telegraphed to DR.. Tucke
to find out what he valued his horses at, an
immediate steps will be taken to obtain tn
full value of the stock from the railroad con
pany." Thus a railroad company Is agair
justly, likely to be made liable for the care
lessness of its employees.
