Referring to the article which ap-
peared in last weeks TRIBUNE, one Of
our landmen was moved to calculate
that the ''iittle printer had put his foot
in it, Judging from the oder since
prevailing one Of our pedal appendages
must have stirred 1T" up in a measure.
But, so much for that. To do an injus-
tice to any person is foreign to our ma
ture or desire, and as a few OF our land
agents feel agrieyed over the matter,
we desire to state that that article made
no reference to those doing a straight
business-and there are a number who
are doing business on the straight. We
had reference to those who have not
been paying due attention to the bust
ness of locating, and who through igno-
rance or intentionally, we do not fee
DISPOSED to state just now, have been
misleading, and we re-affirm that {
little more caution would be beneficial
and desirable. That article will dc
more to protect than to iniure those
who are doing a Legitimate business, ane
thinking men will so decide. Gentle
men, don't apply the shoe if it fits not.

The average cowboy can Apr eciate
and perpetrate joke-however prac
teal it may be-with as keen delight
as the ordinary run of mortals. One of
the very moist days during the roundup
on the Frenchman, COW boy, with a
literary attachment, conceived the bril-
liant idea of preparing for the press a
tragic account of suppositious water
spout's bursting Sin small Flathead
and Cheyenne Indian trail canyon, "
with direful and calamitous results
eleven festive cowboys being swept
away to-the deponent sayeth not.
The number Of especial dispatches" in
our Contemplating dailies" over this
western country was largely augmented.
The Globe-Democrat and Inter-Ocean,
Omaha Republican, Cheyenne and Den
yer papers, contained these specials"
occupying from two inches to two col
umns Of their valuable space. Some
statements in the st. Louis papers were
intensely ludicrous, particularly in de-
scribing the Frenchman river. The
Especial" sets forth that 1t is peculiarly
adapted to miring down and drowning
stock, while the fact is that it one of
the finest and best adapted to the cattle
business in this entire western country.
Quite an ingenious gag on our da-
lies, that.
