A Coyotes Race For Life

On Monday afternoon as the train
coming from Memo Mills turned curve
a coyote came in view standing in Il g
middle or the track short distance
ahead. The curve in the road brought
a straight piece of track ahead couple
of miles, and when the train approach
ed the vicinity of the coyotes wherea-
bouts. the latter started off down the
ties on trot, occasionally looking back
at his iron pursier, which was thunder
ing down upon him with twenty-five
miles-an-hour jog. After n short trot
the coyote discovered that it was not To
be trotting race il he was to have a
hand in it much longer, and his gait
was soon quickened to dead run. The
throttle on the engine was pulled out
till the hair on the locomotives cylinder
head stood on end, and the telegraph
poles went into retirement like the
shadows of nightmares colt. The
haunted aspect Of a fleeing animal ahead
still kept distance in Che lead although
the train was tuned up TO forty miles
an hour, and for five miles the contest
ants in thai race kept an interested
audience amused by the proceedings. IL
was cold day for the coyote when
section hand left discarded overshoe
between the rails, for he stubbed his
toe on the wearing apparel, and with
the echo of his death yell yet penetrat-
ing the still afternoon, he went under
the relentless wheels Of No. 4.-Bodie

Tho Condition of the Range.

We have taken great pains to secure
reliable information as to the grass and
water prospects of the great grazing
fields OF north and western Texas, and
our advices up to the 10th are as favora-
BILE as we could wish. The heavy and
continuous rains in the early days of
October. ceased after leaving the water
holes and streams fully supplied with
water, and the ground in prime condi-
tion to yield bOnntifui supply OF grass.
4 months sunshine and growth has
pushed the grass forward 10 such an ex-
tent that its maturity is beyond the
damages of frost. 8good winter range
is an assured fact. Losses Of cattle on
the range from lack of grass and water
will not occur. The only danger we can
see threatens cattle that have been ship
ped late from the coast country and
the portions Of southwestern Texas
were the drouth of summer had placed
them at starvation 'spoint. Deaths have
occurred inremoval and after reaching
northern range. Cattle that have sur
vived month after arrival from the
coast are taking on feshrapidly and the
prospects now are that they viii live and
come out all right in the spring. The
rains have been the means Of opening a
large area of grass fands, that lack Of
water bad in the summer and early fall
prevented grazing. Late calves, their
mothers, and thin cattle should now be
given the best range to be had. The
losses in winter will be found greater
than otherwise, il this clasS Of stock is
not attended to. We regard the skies
as bright and the prospects catering
for range cattle to winter well. So far
no damaging frosts or chilling blasts
have come, The weather has been fa-
vorable, the grasses forward and ma
tnring. Water is abundant and the
cattle, except the classes referred to. in
fine flesh and healthy coudition.-Texas

A Real Comedy Of Errors.

A remarkable story comes Tonight
from st. Helen, Which is well vouched
for. About six months ago, twin broth
ers-Alfred and Henry Grove-arrived
from Kansas and settled near st. Helen.
There was a very strong resemblance
between them, in fact so strong that in
innate friends could scarcely tell one
from the other. Henry was married,
but his wife was livstig in Kansas. He
soon made the acquaintance of John
Avery, living near, including their
daughter, Lottie Avery, aged nineteen.
One night almost five weeks ago in jest
Re asked Her to become his wife, and to
his utter surprise she accepted, inform
ing her mother Immediately. The
mother, in a practical way broached the
subject of the date of the marriage,
etc, and before Grove could recover
from hi@ surprise, tile details had been
arranged.
He Immediately went to his Etother
Alfred, told the story and asked his ad-
vice. Alfred offered to personate the
brother and stand for him. The cere-
mony took place October q, the couple
remaining at the home of the brides
parents. Alfred fell in love with the
girl and week after the marriage told
of the deception In her indignation
She ordered him from the house. She
then informed her parents, and the old
man started after the son-in-law with n
shot gun and has followed Alfred to this
city, where he is supposed to have fled!

A circular was sent ont Ia.t vae,

A circular was sent out last week bf
Secretary Haren, setting forth project
by which the Kansas City Fat Stock
Show could be placed upon permanent
footing. As to the desirability and Inn
portance to our live stock interest of
keeping up such show there can lie no
doubt. There was no one here last week
from this section but appreciated and
rejoiced in the enterprise. But to keep
up these shows costs a great deal of
money and it can Only be done by all
helping The plan for perpetuating
them is to organize stock company un-
der the laws OF the state of Kansas
with q capital stock of $4,000 to be di-
vided into 200 shares. Twenty-Five per
cent Of the par value Of the stock to be
payable when certificates are issued and
twenty-five per cent annually thereafter
until the stock Is fully paid. This is a
matter in which every breeder in this
entire section is interested and should
subscribe for at least one share of stock.
OF the 2 % shares, 156 of them should
be taken by the breeders of western
Missouri and Kansas and the enterprise
controlled, as it should be, by our home
reople.-Liye Stock Record.

At the annual meeting of the men,
bers of the Smoky Hill pool the follow
ing named gentlemen were elected to
fill the Offices for the ensuing year: Mr..
Evens, chairman and director; W. a.
StOleberg and Samuel Bowman. direc-
tors; Geo Bowman, of Larned, was
elected superintendent, and Mr.. Nc
Grath was chosen treasurer. We are
informed by j. u. Rider, of Larned who
is member of the pool, and who paid
the Cowboy very pleasant visit. that
there are now about 5000 head of cat
tie in the pool and that the expense of
keering them for the past year was
about l2i cents per head per month; and
that several parties had made appiica-
tion to become members of the pool,
but had been black k-balled; the members
concluding that it was better to have a
little too much grass than a, few too
many cattle or in other words, that it
would be better not to overstock the
range. The pool has the south side of
the range now fenced and part of the
east. Private individuals will build the
fence on the west, and will extend it to
the X. p. railroad, thus making an en-
closed range of about thirty miles
square. Cattle are in excellent condi-
tion. The bulls, 2OO-in number will be
taken out on the 18th inst.-Kansas

That there is not pacing horse in all
England may seem incredible, but ac-
cording to good authority such is the
case. 1t must have seemed wonderful
to English horsemen to think that
horse would be able TO establish such a
gait, when Youatt, one of the best of
their authorities declared that he never
saw PAGER, ,and doubted whether it was
possible for ahorse to move the two feet
Oh the same side at the same time with

PAGER, our cousins across the sea should
be encouraged to introduce at least
enough of this blood to greatly improve

-. MEDICINE LODGE BARBER CO, KANSAS. NOV. s., 1883:
Kcre Ru6anism.

Last Tuesday party of COWBOYS
working ON some of the ranges south
west, while on their way from Caldwell
TO camp, took occasion to indulge in
more of the same kind of ruffianism of
which the people along the road have
had to complain during the past sum-
u.er. Stopping at the Mayhew school
house, they forced the teacher, Young
Mr.. Beals to drink whiskey out of a
bottle they had. Arriving opposite the
next school house, tliey fired several
shots at it. Oh the other side of Bluff
creek few miles of Donaldson's ford,
is the school house of district No. IA.
Here they amused themselves by shoot
ing the lock off the door, filling the door
full of bullet holes and shooting lights
out Of several windows. They fired
several shots into the next school house
west, doing but little damage. At the
school house in district No. 7o, they
gave the teacher, John Lowry, about
the same treatment they did Mr.. Beals,
compelling them to drink their villain
Gus whiskey.
1t is about time measures should be
taken to put an effectual stop to pro-
ceedings Of the above kind, and we
know no other way than for the people
living along the route on which the ruff
fans do their devilment, to ascertain
the names of the parties, and have them
arrested and punished. While the ras-
Gals are in town our marshal and his
assistant can make them behave; but
between town and camp it devolves up
on those living along the line to see
that they are forced, in one way or an
other, to conduct themselves properly.

Wichita Times: We have come to
the conclusion that the whole and sole
trouble on the temperance question is
in the everlasting fact that men who
drink to excess are fools, natural born
durn fools. They may go on in life
without going to the penitentiary or
the poor house, but the one great and
awful truth stares US in the face that
they are fools. The man who pours
whisky into his stomach for anything
more than medical purposes is a fool.
And, whenit comes to medicine, no one
except a lunatic would even think of
taking ten or fifteen doses of strong
medicine in as many minutes. But will
men ever be curedp We think not.
You can't cure men Of inherited idiocy.
OF course, once in a while, men come
to their senses on this subject, but not
often. If there could be an amendment
to the constitution prohibiting the
breeding Of fools, and if this prohibi-
tion would prohibit, the temperance
question could be settled in few more
generations.

A story was recently published in an
apparently authentic form, to the effect
the body of Abraham Lincoln had been
removed from the sarcaphogus atSpring-
field to prevent the possibility of any
further attempt by grave robbers. The
story runs that the removal was made
within few days after the attempted
desecration of the grave a few years
ago. That the body was placed in a
lead lined, air tight, cedar casket and
placed i'll another portion of the monu-
ment, and that its location is known on
ly to few immediate friends.
