A correspondent of the Rawlins
Journal writes as follows:
That organized bands of cattle
thieves are plying their vocation on
most all of the ranges in Wyoming 10 a
conceded fact, but the magnitude and
daring with which this stealing is Car,
ried on Is known only to n few. Be-
fore the large companies were organ
lied and placed in the hands of mana.
gers who preferred town to ranch, this
thieving was in a great measure kept
under. Then the individual owners of
herds went on the round-ups and al
lowed no man in their employ to run a
brand of his own. This was as it
should be. But since the great boom
in cattle, ranchmen have become
wealthy, and have permitted their fore
men to almost entirely manage the cat
tie. These foremen, in many instances,
bought a few cows, say from ten to
twenty, aud thus formed a nucleus for
an unlawful herd. We know of one
case where a foreman purchased eight
headsof cows last December and made
no subsequent Legitimate purchase.
He has now ove two hundred head of
cattle running on the range, among
which are a thousand dollars worth of
beeves. We also understand that on
the Sweetwater last spring an outfit
started out before the general roundup
and branded up all the calves large
enough to be weaned. To avoid detec.
tion, they split the calves tongues, so
that they could not suckle, drove them
many miles and then filed their hoofs,
using both of these precautions to pre-
vent them from returning to their
mothers. The cowboys, seeing what a
good thing their superiors had and
wishing to have a finger in the pie,
started brands on their own account.
They figured On working during the
summer for some of the large com
panies, aud using every opportunity
that offered to burn their own mark
upon a maverick or any animal with a
dim or obscure brand. "Au ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure"
What could have easily been prevented
at first, has now grown into a great
evil, and the cattle owners themselves
are in a great measure to blame for iU.
One of the most prominent cattle own
ers in Cheyenne remarked In course of
conversation: "If we don't break them
up, they will us"
II the stockmen Will agree to allow
no man in their employ to own cattle
unless they are absolutely certain as to
their good moral character, and to hire
no cowboy who is interested in Il brand
of his own, L am convinced thai these
complaints of cattle stealing will soon
cease. SrocKMAN.

In BradstIeets of last week we find
a full article on live stock, which
sets forth that the late shlinkage in the
general export trade from the port of
New York to British and other Euro
pean ports, not only attracted the at
tention of the general observer, who
regarded it solely from a financial
point of view, but it became a source
of uneasiness to herd owners and to
dealers in cattle, whether slaughterers
or shippers. The severe winter OF 1881
81, caused wholesale losses among the
herds in the west and northwest, so
that, although the older cattle growing
states did not suffer so severely, beeves
advanced rapidly in price from January
1882, until June of the same year. The
highest price realiZ ID in that month
114c per pound on net weights, 56956
pounds being allowed, according to The
quality of the animal, which also fire.
an allowance OF IS pounds and 81 per
head on every beast. In july 1882,
Ice Ter pound vas the highest rate
paid; again in August, 1882, l5tc per
pound was the highest figure reached.
During this year of scarcity Spanish
and Colorado herds advanced in
prices under the pressure of absolute
need. In the month of June, 1882.
such herds sold at S9 13ac per pound,
in July at 9(Gl2c per pound. and for
the first three weeks of August, at 8
@l2c per pound, dropping the last
week of that month to So 104c per
pound. Early in September, 1882,
grass fed beeves became plenty and
values steadily decliled until they re-
turned 10 their normal range. AS
soon as a margin of profit was found
the export trade was revived for a Eu-
ropean market is always open at GER
tain prices.
The British workingman eats beef
when it can be obtained at low prices,
and rarely has American beef fetched
over Cd British currency per pound;
frequently in years of abundance and
consequent cheapness, American beef
has sold in Glasgow, Liverpool aud
London at 4d per pound. When a
glut has occurred I'd per pound has
been accepted. Early during the past
summer the export trade took an up
ward bound, and the volume increased
until in August IA, 1853 beeves were ex-
ported, the appraised value of which
was $3.50, 028. During August, 1882,
7SS beeves were exported, the apprais-
ed value of which was SSl, sos. In
1881 August 4, 093 beeves were ex-
ported, the appraised value of which
was S4l9,095, The export trade in
dressed beef also varied for a period
under review, as prices controlled the
extent of business.

Yesterday afternoon John P. Carr
who is now on trial for the murder o
George w. Bailey took the witness
stand and told his story under cath.
He said that on the fatal night. he saw
Bailey cross the river and ride toward,
his cabin. He called to Bailey, telling
him to keep away; that he didn't want
any trouble with him. He repeated
this caution three times, but Bailey
kept on riding towards the cabin, in
the door Of which he, Carr, was stand
ing. When within a few yards of the
building he dismounted from his horse,
saying to Carr: "You s. of a b.
1 told you I'd kill you if you came
back, and I'm going to do it," He
started for the cabin, and Carr, pick
ing up the rifle which stood leaning
against the wall beside him, brought it
to a present and fired. Bailey half
turned as he saw Carr raise the weapon
and received the bullet in his side. He
wheeled and walked back two or three
steps, and fell-dead. Witness started
for Hutton's at once, and later came
to Laramie and gave himself
up. He did not know whether Bailey
was armed or not. 1t was dark, and
he was compelled to act so quickly
that he had no time to look for arms.
Mr.. George l.. Hutton was the next
witness.
A night session was held, and the
testimony taken of the folio wing wit
nesses, summoned by the defense:
= Messrs. Ed. Williams, John Curtis.
Alex. McFayden, o. P. Yelton, j. E.
Holiday, W. H. Holiday, T. b. Bish-
op. E. Rolman, G. w. Shelton, William
Maxwell, G. H. Bussard, G.. II. Hill
dreth, NJ. Durley, o. d. Downey and
Samuel Woods. The teuor of their ev-
idence was to the effect that Carr had
always been regarded as a quiet, tenn
perate, p%eaceable man, while Bailey
was the opposite-drunken, quarrel
some and generally good for nothing.
This forenoon was devoted to
speeches by Prosecuting Attorney
Blake, and Colonel s. W. Downey on
behalf of the defense. This afternoon,
Hon. W. w. Corlett began his argu-
ment for the defense. An evening
session will be held, and Mr., Corlett
will be followed by Hon. NJ. G. Brown,
who will close the case on behalf of the
prosecution. 1t is believed the Ease
will go to the jury at a late hour to-
night.-Boomerang.

n Reward for the schwartz Ranch
DeDredatOrs.

A reward of $3.50 will be paid by the
county commissioners for the arrest OF
Bill McQuary, alias Bill Barber and
another who goes by the name of Bill
Younger, for outrages committed at
Schwariz's ranch on the 21st instant.
McQuary is about 81 or 80 years of age,
weight 40 pounds, light complexion,
light mustache and goatee. Younger is
aged about % years, six feet tall,
weighs about 10 pounds, smooth face
and large coarse features. Both be
longed to 90 ranch, Antelope springs,
Wyoming.
The outrages committed by these
men were even worse than detailed by
the press -revolting in the extreme and
the commissioners, by offering the
above reward are impelled by a high
sense of duty in bringing these men to
the bar of justice. The peace and good
order of the community demand their
speedy arrest and no efforts will be
spared to accomplish it.

$4,000 to Release NILE. Nixon.
The Jersey Lily is not the only artist
from abroad that a boast of having
captured an American millionaire. A
duplicate of Freddie Gebbard has been
developed in New York, in the person
of a young and wealthy dude, who has
been bewitched by the charms of Mile
Nixon, the prima donna OF Grau's
French opera company. Nixon is
young, pretty, piquant aud a brilliant
singer, but she will not, after this week,
MARBLE for American audiences. 1t &C.
CURED in thise way: Nixon, while in
New York, received the attention of a
gentleman prominent in social circles,
and a man of large wealth. She ap-
peared pleased with his attentions, and,
finally consented to fly with him to
Europe, providing her engagement
could be cancelled. She appealed TO
Manager Grau, who informed her that
the only terms upon which he would
release her were that the forfeit of
30, 200 francs (s6, 0O0) be paid to him in
cash. To this the admirer of Nixon
readily agreed, and the money was
promptly paid. Grau secured a substi-
tute, Mile Tanquet of Paris, and
Nixon's engagement has been brought
to an end. Who the fascinating New
Yorker is that will accompany her
abroad (some say as her husband) has
not yet TRANSFERRED, great care having
been taken to conceal his identity.

himself accidentally at the agency

ball, entering between the third aud

half an inch above the region of the
heart, coursed up and lodged under the

fifty ShOshone bucks left the reserva-
