A neglect to exercise young horses at

than one.
The Caldwell, Kan, Journal says
that reports from the western part oil
the range are to the effect that grass ID
good and the cattle In better condition
than they were this time last year. The
rains 1t was feared would rot the
old grass, while on the other hand they
have had a beneficial effect upon the
winter grass, bringing it out In fine
shape.
North Platte Nebraskian: So fal
this year we have had very few prairi,
fires, a fact from which stockmen aut
all others will draw solid comfort
This fact is owing probably to tn,
wet fall and early appearance of snov
which has prevented vandals who de
light in burning the plains from get

to the extra precautions of railroad
companies to prevent the grass from

dollars worth of property and perhap
many lives have been saved. Let u

hye years grain growing and cattle
feeding combined will be confined to
smaller areas of fenced fields and the
improved feeding on tame grass paa-

however, that methods other than those

Another Star Reuter-.

Chicago, November 24.-Ex-Senator
George E. Spencer, formerly from Ala
bama, now engaged In mining in Ne
vada, passed through the city to-day en-
route to Washington in charge OF a
United States marshal. The arrest of
the ex-senator is for contempt of court
in failing to respond to the subpoena
to appear at the star route trials.
Spencer was originally engaged In the
star route investigation when James
was postmaster general, but when the
cases we're called for trial he went to
Europe to avoid testifying.
In an interview to-day, when asked
why he had failed to testify, Spencer
said he was the first man to suggest the
star route investigation, and when they
were begun he gave the postmaster
general and the government the benefit
of what he knew about them. He
claims he did this without recon-
pense and he claims, further, that
he had an express understanding
with President Garfield and Postmaster
General James that he should not be
known in the matter or be made a wit
ness for the prosecution. When he got
his evidence In shape he declares he
went to his home In Nevada, expecting
that was to end the matter.
"Under what circumstances wer,
you arrested?" he was asked.
"In July, 1882, the attorney genera
sent a capias to Nevada for my arrest
and / was not there. The United
States marshal to whom it was SEN
put the document n a pigeon hole ant
there 1t laid until q week or two ago,
when he wrote to Washington askinI
what he should do with it, and the re
ply was a hifalutin telegram signet

him to arrest me and bring m t
Washington forthwith. So here 1 am.
Spencer said he had retained ex-Sec
rotary Boutwell, to defend him, AM
that he could prove by Postmaster Gen
aral James Of the compact with Pres
dent Garfield.
