THE SECOND EDITION.
The Weather Clerk Sends Another Lot
of Beautiful Snow.

The man or woman who wrote Beau
tiful Snow" does not live in Cheyenne. 1t
would not be a very healthy place for that
individual just now.
The evidences of Mondays blizzard
were beginning to disappear yesterday and
until late in the afternoon it seemed
probably that fair weather would prevail
for a few days. AT twilight the air had a
stormy feeling, however, clouds gathered
overhead, and soon snow began falling.
By midnight nearly an inch of snow had
fallen, and at 2 O'Clock this morning it
was two inches deep. At that hour the
snow was coming down in a very method
ical and wintry manner, and every indica-
ton warranted the belief that the storm
would continue all night.
The temperature was high, and at no
time during the night did the mercury
fall to the freezing point. Experience has
shown that wise men will not hazard a
prediction about Rocky mountain weather.
1t does not seem probable, however, that
the present storm will be attended with q
cold snap and it Is quite likely hat this is
the final struggle of winter before it yields
to spring. The melting snow will doubt
less cause the streams 10 swell and may
retard some of the round ups,

A Rather Mixed Case Before the Justice

A few days ago Col. Emery swore to a

larceny as bailee. Col. Emery had sold
a lot Of furniture to Mrs. Hussey and, it
is alleged, she sold a stove without au-

The case first came up before Justice
Lee. Two married ladies', whose bonds
were worthless under the law, became
surety for Mrs. Hussey. In a day or two

A Gang of Robbers and Cattle ThIeve
Broken up in Colorado.

Sheriff Graham, of Denver, has broken
up a gang of horse and cattle thieves, who
made their headquarters at a ranch four
teen miles north of Denver. The leaders,
John and JOSEPH Unfunger are in jail.
Yesterday Ed. Wetzel, assistant score

a ~ on the left side and hip, with the

COW branded "55" on the left hip, and
another roam COW branded ~ s. on the

A Wonderful Surgical Operation.

The Bellvue hospital physicians, says
the New York World, are exchanging con-
gratulations over the successful result of
remarkable operation in ''muscle-grafting, .
the first of the kind ever attempted in this
country. The operation consists in trans
ferring bunch of muscular tissue from
dog or other animal to any member of
human frame that may be incapacitated
through the want of such tissue.
At Bellvue hospital the dog was a mon
grel and the patient laundress. The
latter seriously injured her right mwhile
at work in the laundry, and five weeks ago
went to the hospital to be cured A large
section of the muscular substance between
the elbow and the wrist was dead, and the
sufferer could hardly raise her arm and
could not use her fingers at all. Dr.
Halsted, visiting surgeon Of the hospital,
saw that the injury could not be cured ex
cept by the operation of muscle-grafting,
It was announced, therefore, that the OPP
Grafton would be attempted, and at the
appointed hour crowd of students was
present in the amphitheatre to witness it.
The dog was put under the influence OF
either. The skin of the wounded arm was
laid open and dissected back. The ends of
the divided muscles were then found and
cut off so as to freshen them Meanwhile
one of the dogs hind legs had been shaven,
and as soon as the arm was ready a section
of muscular tissue about four inches long
and two inches wide was cut from the
dogs leg, and transferred to her arm, and
fitted to the divided ends of the muscles,
The skin of the arm was then replaced and
sewn together
The operation lasted about half an hour,
Three weeks after it was performed the
patient found herself able to use her fingers
with little difficulty. Since then she has
improved so much that the doctors say she
will leave the hospital in a few days quite
cured.

MEssRs. EDITORS There is quite a
contrast between the weather at present
and the time of my last communication.
While at that time the thermometer was
down to 22o below zero, it is now 1902
above Owing to the very late and wet
spring, corn planting was very late Some
have just finished; but at present it is very
hit and dry. Until yesterday there had
been no rain for about four weeks. Should
the dry weather continue, great fears are
expressed of the grasshoppers coming
The last reports say they are at Pueblo,
Col, by the millions.
1t is very surprising to one from the
East how nutritious our prairie grass is,
Old COWS, which were wintered through
with scarcely anything but prairie hay and
corn stalks and turned on this grass the 1st
of May, are now being sold off fat. AL
though the tame grasses are better butter
and milk producers, yet the prairie grass is
far superior as fattening substance.
Our Kansas colony from Maryland has
been increased one more this spring. Mr..
Levi Deyilbiss about the lst Of April sur
prisingly put in his appearance, and after
a cordial salutation we sat down and had
long chat on the events and happenings of
Maryland. We are glad to see a Mary
lander out here at any time.
L. E. Ensor, formerly of Maryland,
and who resided in Kansas four years, dis
posed of his farm and personal property
this spring, and has migrated to Mendowa,
Lincoln county, Washington Territory,
where he has purchased ranch and fifty
nine head of cattle. He has gotten tired
of farming and is going to stock raising,
Thus he has been from ocean to ocean.
Mr. John E. Nall, who with his family
last autumn moved from this (Jackson)
county to his farm in Shawnee, is getting
along splendidly. They are about nine
miles southeast of Topeka and three miles
east, and one and half miles south of
Pauline, a station on the Atkinson, Topeka
q Santa Fee Railroad His farm, which
contains eighty acres, is a parallelogram,

and is heavily timbered with walnut, hick-
ory, blackberry and elm, 1t contains
good dwelling, also fine apple aud peach
orchard. 1t being about all creek black
bottom, the soil is that very productive
black loam They are one and a half
miles from an NJ. E. Church, and large
and commodious schoolhouse is located on
the place. They are in good locality and
have plenty Of good neighbors. In fact,
he could not have made better selection
By the way, the writer wishes to inform
Mr.. Charles Bale, of New Windsor, that
the shirt which he procured of Mr.. Nall
to be reserved until he Naill] should re-
turn home from Kansas shirtless, may now
be disposed of at the highest market price
and the net proceeds placed Gu his Baile's]
books under the profit and loss account, as
from prospects Mr., Naill will not need it.

Horses in Battle,


War horses, when hit in BATTLE tremble
in every muscle and groan deeply, while
their eyes show deep astonishment. Dur
ing the battle of Waterloo some of the
horses, as they lay upon the ground, hav-
ing recovered from the first agony Of their
wounds, fell to eating the grass about them,
thus surrounding themselves with circle
of bare ground, the limited extent of which
showed their weakness. Others were OBJ
served quietly grazing on the field between
the two hostile lines, their riders having
been shot off their backs, and the balls fly
ing over their heads and the tumult behind, !,
before and around them caused no inter-
ruption to the usual instinct of their nature
1t was also observed that when charge of
cavalry went past near to any of the stray
horses already mentioned, they would set
off, form themselves in the rear of their
mounted companions, and, though without
riders, gallop strenuously along with the
rest, not stopping or finehing when the
fatal shock with the enemy took place,
At the battle of Kirk, 1745, Major Nc,
Donald having unhorsed an English officer
took possession of his horse, which was
very beautiful, and Immediately mounted
it, When the English cavalry fled the
horse ran away with its captor, notwith-
standing all his efforts to restrain him, nor
did it stop until it was at the head of the
regiment of which apparently its master
was commander. The melancholy and at
the same time ludicrous figure which Nc
Donald presented when he saw himself the
victim of his ambition to possess a fine
horse, which ultimately cost him his life
upon the scaffold, may be easily conceived,
