The polled Cattle.

1t is only few years since the black
polled cattle made their first appear
ance in this country, but in that short
time they have made wonderful pro-
gress, taking the front rank alongside
of the Shorthorns and Herefords any
where, and vastly outstripping the for
mer ON the range, their wonderful hard
iness making them especially desirable
for western fahchfnen; whose herds Of
ten have to travel long distances both
for grass and water. Several ranchmen
in Kansas and the Indian Territory
have already tried both the Galloway
and Polled Angts bulls on their COM
mon cows, and the results have every
where been far beyond their most san
guine expectations. The thick coats Of
the Galloways especially render them
almost insensible to cold, and for like
reason the fiies, which are 50 annoying
to our native stock, do not seem able to
make any Impression on the black cat
tie, and while these pests in the sum-
mer and the severe cold weather In the
winter prevent the other cattle from OBJ
tanning the necessary nourishment, the
Angus and Gailoways are always found
feeding or chewing theft
cuds In all kinds of weather.
But il is as beef animals that they
surpass. ANY one Who Visited the fat

A dispatch from Madison. India

A dispatch from Madison, Indiana,
says: News has reached this city of a
terrible bloody tragedy in Kentucky
seven miles southwest of Milton, in
which one woman was killed and two
men fatally wounded. About nine years
ago young man named Stephens mar
ried a beautiful young lady in Chicago
and shortly removed to Trimble county,
Kentucky, buying farm and settling
down. Some years ago Stephens left
home for the east to purchase some land
since which time nothing has been
heard from him until yesterday. His
wife supposed him dead, robbed and
murdered. She lived alone until last
summer, when she formed an attach
ment for a young farm hand who had
been in her employ for four years, and
they were married in Louisville last
July. Stephens stopped at the house
yesterday, not intending to let himself
be known, but his wife immediately
recognized him, throwing her arms
about his neck, and screaming MY long
lost husband" and kissing him. This
aroused the jealousy Of the new hus-
band, whereupon he struck her across
the neck with drawing knife he had
In his hand, cutting her in a frightful
manner and severing the jugular vein.
She fell to the floor and expired almost
instantly. Stephens drew a revolver
and shot the murderer, who in return
gave Stephens cut across the back of
the neck with the drawing knife. Both
men are said to be fatally injured.

Mormon Taste fSf Aleshel !.

I find, by my own observations that
the saints have peculiar tastes in the
matter of stimulants. Their first choices
is alcohol, pure and simple, and unadul.
terated. 1t is no uncommon sight
to see them bring their bottle to
the bar or drug store to be replenished
with this mild beverage. / have been
wondering how they have managed to
work there stomachs up to the necessaI
ry pitch to crave alcohol as an everyday
Indulgence. But there is no accounting
for what Mormon can swallow. Hav-
ing swallowed their own creed, their
stOftiaehs certainly ought to be alcohoi
proof, and perhaps this explainsit. I mo-
tice that now and then they mix little
sugar with the alcohol and sometimes
dilute it with water. They have q way
of adding hot water and lemon juice to
it, forming their great fancy drink-hot
toddy, A leading bar tender tells me
candidly that he dispenses moro alcohol
than whisky.-Utah Letter.

Cheyenne Transporter. February D

Cheyenne Transporter, February q :
As will be seen elsewhere, . roundup
meeting is called to take place at Oar
lington on the 10th Of March. The
stockmeniof this section have come to an
understanding on the subject and win
unite for the purpose of working to bet
ter advantage in gathering their cattle,
which are badly scattered throughout
the lower country. 1t is also the inten-
tention to set the time for roundup, 80
that all outfits from the Strip can be
present at enc time, and thus prevent
the annoyance of the past few seasons
Of local cattlemen having their cattle
constantly disturbed by small parties
from the upper country coming along
every few weeks and asking for round
ups. 1t is the intention to set the time
for the work 10 be done at once and
thoroughly SO that all parties can be sat
isfed in the matter. Be sure to be pres
ent at the meeting on the 10th.
This section was visited last week by
the severest storm that has occurred for
several seasons. Itcommenced sleeting
on Monday, the 18th, and in o few hours
the ice covered everything, 50 that hors-
es and cattle were unable to get any
thing to eat and it was so slippery that
they could scarcely stand. This contin-
ued for three days, during which the
stock wandered and slipped around
without drink or food, their backs COW
cred with an icy coat and the cattle bel.
lowing with pain. In consequence large
numbers of cattle perished from the ex-
posure-the principal loss being along
the lower part of the North Fork and
along the Washita. Horses died also
in great numbers. and the Indian herds
were swept through by the mortality.
Many cow horses also perished being in
poor flesh. The mortality among cattle
although severe, was confined mostly to
a few brands, the stock being Arkansas
cattle brought in late. With these ex-
ceptions, the loss is not as great as was
expected, and the percentage of loss
will not be excessive. The sleet, which
was the cause Of most of the loss, did
not extend above the Cimarron.
