A Flimsy Story.

The Boomerang of Friday says: Night
before last there arrived on No. l, at 9:55,
Mr.. ii. T. Mcclellan and wife. Yester-
day Mr.. Mcclellan applied to the county
commissioners for aid to enable him to go
to his wife's relatives, at Pendleton, Ore
gon. His story was that while a train
was delayed at Ogallala, a few days ago,
a band of cowboys vent through the cars
recklessly firing their pistols, and drove
his wife completely insane from fright.
He was almost without means, and the
authorities secured tickets for himself and
wife to. Cheyenne. At that place he
again appealed to the county authorities,
and was passed over to Laramie. Here
he succeeded in obtaining from the county
passage for himself and wife to Rawlins.
He attempted to make a case against the
Union Pacific Railroad company for dam
ages; bnt gave it up. The pair were sent
out on No. l this morning. Had this
train been earlier, and reached Rock creek
about the time the circus was taking
place there last night, it is thought Mr..
Mcclellan would have a clear case against
the company, There is a good deal of
gauziness about the whole affair, as far as
we can learn. The railroad men here
know nothing of any such an occurrence
as Mcclellan reports to have taken place
at Ogallala, and very much doubt his
statements to that effect. There is no
doubt Mrs. Mcclellan is insane; but it
would seem hat her husband is only franz
ing excuses to excite sympathy, and get
dead headed west"

The Northern cattle Drive.

Charles W. Wittell, secretary of the
Western Kansas Stock association, and
Major Holstein, of Austin, have been
looking up figures on the cattle drive north
from Texas for 1884. From their esti-
mates it appears that the drive of 1884 to
the north will be unusually large, the esti-
mates varying from $4,000 to 3T5, 900.
An uncommonly large proportion will be
beef cattle, and this is accounted for as
well as the large drive by the fact that the
fencing in of large tracts of land has de-
prived many of as much range as of old,
while the heavy immigration and conse-
quent tilling of land has also greatly cur
tailed the pasture. The school lands, of
which Texas has several million acres, are
now leased at twenty cents per acre for
land having water front and eight cents
per acre for upland. This water front ex-
tends back from two to three miles. Cat
tie men claim that this rental is exorbit-
ant, and say they are unable to lease with
any profit to themselves, except in Il few
localities. OF the entire drive north it is
estimated that fully three-fourths will pass
through Dodge City over what is called
the western trail. About one-half of
these are contracted for north and north:
west of here, a large proportion going to
fill Indian contracts. Prices, it is claimed,
will rule much as last year-perhaps a
little lower, more Of the cattle being driven
than in any of the prior four years. This
drive is about one-third larger than that
of last year, which carried 265, 900 cattle
with it, and the beef cattle in this out
number those in that by about $4,000.

prices of Union Pacific showed the latter fig
ures. This was succeeded by a rally Of to II
per cent, Union Pacific leading with sales up to
46s. Before midday, however selling was re-
newed and prices declined rapidly on unfavorable
runors from the West concerning the trunk
lines, and a report that the New York Central
dividend, to be advertised Sept. s, would be II
per cent instead of per cent, as formerly At
this time the market Wasvery active and the
pressure TO sell quite marked The decline from
the highest point of the day ranged from to 2
per cent, and many weak holders were shaken
out on the way down. In the afternoon the
tenper of speculation changed for the
better and free purchases were made

allied when prices were considerably
higher, are now buying on the large i,shorti
interest made in the market in the past few

by reports that the Vanderbilt following In
tended to take hold of their stocks for rise as
soon as the corn crop il assured. The advance
ranged from to q per cent, Union Pacific,
