George Pomeroy Reese, in Harper's
Magazine: The great reservoir from which
has been drawn the bulk Of the cattle which
are now becoming SO abundant in all our
western territories Is the state of Texas
In 1870 one-seventh Of the horned cattle
in the Uniten States was found within its
borders, and it outnumbered the aggregate
of those of all the other states and terrific
ries west of the Missouri, California and the
Pacific coast included This ratio was
slightly changed by the statistics Of 1850,
the state representing somewhat less than
one-ciglith of the whole number. while it
still contained more than all the others
mentioned above. From this source of
supply has been drawn the great bulk of
the r .nge cattle now to be found on the
public lands east of the Rocky Mountains,
an industry which has grown to huge pre-
portions. and dating back in the states and
territories few years only. As an evi-
dencc Of this we note that in 1870 the
number given in Montana, Wyoming, and
Colorado was little less than 2SO,OO0.
Zen years later Wyoming alone cqualled
this, while the three together aggregated
nearly 100000. We do not doubt that
accurate censns taken to-day would more
than double these figures. To Texas,
then, we must still look for the supply
from which to draw recruits to further
develop the capabilities Of the northern
ranges. Like the tide Of emigration
which is daily landing thousands Of for
cigners on the shores Of the New World,
more than equalling the relative birth in
crease, so the annual cattle-drive from
Tx must yet be the base of supplies
for all the country north.

THE DEADLY STEAM BOILER.
Three Men Killed by . Boiler ExplO.
sion and Four Others Nor
tally Injured.
fRloomington ,Ind.l Dispatch ]


A terrible boiler explosion occurred near
Harrodsburg, this couaty, causing the in
slant death Of three persons, aud perhaps
fatally injuring four others. The shock
could be heard for miles. Soon af-
ter the noise neighbors began g,,hering
from every direction. When they reached
the place fearful spectacle presented itself.
For wards about heavy timbers were thrown,
aud pieces OF the boiler We're scattered for
hundreds of feet. 1t seems that new in
spirator had recently been placed on the
engine, which would not work, and it ex-
ploded while experimenting.
Wesley Carter. head engineer, was in
stantly killed. When found he was lying
under a pile of rubbish. He had been
thrown over thirty feet. His head had
been almost blown from his body. and both
arms were broken. He was a single man.
Near him lay his son, dead. his breast
terribly laceated. the skull broken. and
one leg almost blown of. He died in
stantly.
The most pitiful sight Of all was old
Billy Gnves, who had only few minutes
before come over to the mill. He was
standing near the boiler watching Carter s
experiment when the explosion occurred.
He lay fifty feet away. his head almost
torn from his body, his legs broken, and
pieces of the metal had pierced through his
breast. When found he was alive. but soon
died. He was one of the best citizens oi
the neighborhood.
Billy Graves, his son, an employe OF the
mill. was also badly injured about the
shoulder. His head was bruised terribly,
and it is feared he cannot recover.
John Reed. another employee, was injured
in the same way, though not seriously. He
was thrown in the mir twenty feet while
working at the saws.
A Mr. Collins, q stranger employed in the
mill only few days, was injmed SO that ht
can hardly recover. His arm is broken and
pieces Of the metal entered his abdomen.
Another fatally injured is John Foddrill
an old man employed in the mill. He i.
injured about the head aud breast. and, a
this writing, is resting easily, but there arr
fears that he is internally injured.
A workman named Callahan is seriousl,
hurt about the back, though the physician,
say not necessarily fatal.
All the injured We're carried to a house
near by and number of physicians lent tn,
best aid possible. Three only of the mel
employed were injured. being in the rear o.
the mill.
