work Pryor's Drumm's and Ewing's pas

get across Salt Fork.
The remaining part of the first division
is working on the south side of Salt Fork,
on the Undertake, Bates and Eagle Chief
ranges, and if everything works well will
get to the Comanche Pool range by next
Monday; but the rains have probably de-
iayed the outfit two or three days. 1t will
require ten days to work the Cemanche
range.
Mr.. Ewing heard from the second divis-
ION last Sunday. The report then was that
II had not more than $50 striys belonging
10 the entire western range.

The city council met last night and spent
several hours trying TO devise ways and
means by which the city may be extric,ted
from its present dcplorable financial cond-
ton. The treasury is empty and the sources
OF revenue have about disappearel-even
the dog tax being insufficient to pay the ex-
penscs of the Law and Order government.
Billiard table licenses were reduced one

was done by next week. The council re-
fuses to confirm the appointment of Mr.. f.

The Roundup.


The extraordinary rains of the past week
viii have the effect of greatly retardng thu.
work of the roundup in the Territory.
Up to the Latter part of last week splendid
progress was being made, especially in the
first and second divisions, aud il looked
that work might have commenced in this
county about the 18th inst. one week from
next Monday. But the high water will
more than likely cause weeks DELAY.
Work will not likely commence here before
the 18th inst, for the hard work is yet be-
fore the southern roundup parties. We
have been asked to rcppblish the proposed
line Of work for this and Conanche CONN.,
ties, which we do with pleasure.
The roundup in BIrber and Comanche
county ranges will begin when the Strip
parties have completed their work to the
west line Of the Comanche Pool.
Barber and Comanche counties are diyiJ-
ed in two divisions. No. is That part of
Barber county west of Cedar mountains
and cast Of Medicine river as far north rs
Medicine Lodge aud that part Of the county
south and west of the river. This division
will meet at Campbell's range and work
west and north to the Lodge, thence OIL
the south and west of the Medicine river to
the west line Of Barber county. VIM. Kel-
ley is captain Of this division.
Division No. is composed of the Sand
creek country, east and north,and all coun-
try north of the Cedar mountains. west of
Medicine Lodge, and all that part of Bar
Der county north of the Medicine river TO
Medicine Lodge. This division will meet
ut Campbeli's ranch, and work ND Sand
creek and the country north of the Cedar
mountains, thence west including all Conn.,
try north Of the Medicine river to the west
line of Barber county. j. z. Elsea is CID
tain Of this division.
Divisions ] and rs described above. af.
ter working BIrber county, will meet at
Giants ranch, s miles west OF Sun CITY.
and work up the Medicine river, including
Mule, Soldier, Thompson,and Spring creeks
and their tributaries. John Sidener to be
captain OF the combined divisions or sucb
other men as the Comanche stockmen NAV
select.

Brisbin Bros. have disposed of their
range in the Territory to Gregory, Eldred
q Co., and will, when the roundup is com
pletcd, move their cattle further south, in
to the Cheyenne and ArpahOe, country,
where they will go into pool now partial
ly formed. This pool has secured a lease
on large body Of grazing lands, and will
have the privilege of keeping it ten or
more years. Mr.. ID. G. Bnsbin, who has
been down there, thinks there is no cattle
country that he ever saw better than this,
and he says that the gentlemen he will 20
in with are able to put on large number
OF cattle. In short time we are promis-
ed full particulars as to tie organization OF
the new company.

found. The Barber county cut is being

bridge over Spring creek is washed away
and this is not strange, for It really had ne
foundation to rest on and was worse than
no bridge. The slOughs were filled with
loose dirt and brush, and Of course washed
out. II would seem that road taxes might
be more jutkiously expended.

From the Arkansas City Democrat we
learn that two cowboys by the names OF
Mccormack and weathers, had little
knock-down some time ago but were sep
arated. Last Tuesday afternoon they met
on the prairie about Ii miles below the
city, andafter an int rchange of sentiments,
more expressive than elegant, dismounted
from their ponies, and proceeded to carve
each other with knives. After butchering
each other until they were too weak to
stand from the loss of blood the battle
erased. Fortunately they had left their
revolvers at camp or one of them wonld
have died. They both lie in a critical con-
dition.

The tide of civilization reached here
many years ago. but so far there has never
been seen rat in this county. There are
specimens of sand rats here, but none of
the old grey fellows that create so much
trouble arouud corn cribs and meat houses.
But there is one mark of civilization and
progress here that no new or old country
can excel Barber county in, namely: The
bed bug. Old settlers say this pest was
here when they came; and this may be
true. Anyway the breed has increased in
size and numbers and now has no equal on
the inhabitablc globe.
