r The mistakes Of the eastern press in
reference to the range cattle business
would be amusing we're it not for the
fact that in many instances they are
unjnst and damaging. They are also
gradually leading eastern public opinion
into the belief that the cattle kings''I
arein all cases intellopers and that in
some way people in the east suffer per-
sonal loss for the money made in the
range cattle business. a 38 y
Il The true facts in the case are so appar-
ent that it seems strange eastern papers
have not manhood enough to publish
them. In q nutshell, the country occu-
pied by the rangeicattle business would
be entirely inhabited were it not. for
this industry. Ne donbt If q case has
ever occurred whore range cattle business
has crowded out agriculture. On the
other hand, in Texas. Colorado, Kansas
and other states and territories, agricul-s
ture is c0nstantly ly restricting the bounds
of the cattle business. These facts are
30 apparent that they scarcely need mem.
tion. AS fast as the range country is
needed for agriculture, aslnuch as is ct
for that pursuit will DO given over to it.
Thus far only is the cattleman an
interloper. He makes profitable a coun-5
try that without him would be a hoWling
wilderness aud as soon as he has estab-
.lished D market the farmer comes in,
with no opposition from the stockman,
chooses the best hundred and sixty acres
he can find and goes to farming.
& All this cry about there being need Of
slaws to allow, farmers to settle up range
territory Is the purest cant. There isn't
i range in the United States, not abso-
Iutely owned By the ranchInan, upon
WAich the settler cannot come and estab-
Ilish d farm. Tie laws Of the United;
States would uphold him in it and if the;
yenonl-slingers Of the east knew as much
about land laws as they do about penny
a-line mud throwing they would see that
attempts to arouse public opinion
against catti for keeping ont farnl-
ers were built on d foundation of sand.
Another howl the eastern press is rais-
ling ID: \ by don't the cattlemen buy the

It looks as though the Northern Pacific

the wood they have cut from government

has made his reports to Washington,
which include thirty yone separate indict-
ments against the above companies for a
gross amount of S613, 3,4O2. Mr.. Haley is
especially dennnciatory of the Montana

improvement Co. cut the most or all Of
the timber, but the rail road company is
implicated as it held a controlling inter

A Phvsioian Shot

OAKLAND, Cal, May 25.-Dr. n. l..
Bruck, a highly respected citizen of Oak
land, was shot dead on Sunday night by
Henry F. Prindle, n member of the Joe
Hooker Post of the G. A. r. The muir
derer was arrested.
At the police station PrindIe said he
had shot Bruck because his wife had told
him he had taken improper liberties with
her while she was under his professional
care. DIR. Wythe, a friend of the muir
dered physician. says he attended Mrs.
Prindle for a time and believes her insane,
and that she labors under the hallucina-
tien hat DIR. Bruck had been guilty of
unprofessional conduct toward her. Mrs.
Prindle's female friends assert, on the
contrary, that Bruck was guilty of every
thing charged against him. DIR. Bruck
was a native of Vermont, and afterwards
went to Springfield, Mass, where he
practiced for several years before coming
to the Pacific coast. He is a widower
with a grown up family.

BALTIMORE, May 25.-Miss Ely Cogh-
Ian, the well known actress, and sister to
Miss Rose Coghlan, who has been playing
here for the past week as the 'Naiad
Queen, has created quite a sensation
among the theatre goers, and has lost her
position through her opposition to short
skirts and her refusal to wear the ortho-
dox fairy costume. Miss Coghlan is quite
a pretty young woman, and, as the "Naiad
Queen scored quite a success. The
play opened here last week and had been
well patronized. Miss Coghlan's appear
ance in a long dress occasioned some criti-
cism. and Messrs. Mann and Benoit. the
managers. notified her that the dress must
be shorter. Her costume was of hand
some white satin, but she ordered it short
ened by some two inches; but when she
appeared Monday night the change was
scarcely p~erceptible. The following even
ing she was ordered to have the dress re-
duced to a certain limit, which she de-
clined submitting to, and quite a scene
ensued, in which Miss Coghlan had resort
to tears. The crying made her sick, and
after the second act she asked leave to 80
home. This was refused, and she went
anyhow, and was consequently discharged.
Her part was taken by Miss Caldwell, and
the rlay proceeded. The following even
ing she appeared, but was informed her
place had been filed by Miss Helen Wind
sor, a bright and accomplished lady from
New York, who had no objection to wcar-
ing fairy's costume. Miss Coghlan then
demanded her full salary for the week,
but this was refused her, receiving only
her pay for one performance. She has
entered suit for the whole amount and has
gone to New York pending the hearing.
Messrs. Mann & Benoit claim that they
were perfectly Justified in ~discharging Miss
Coghlan and her abrupt departure from
the theatre, in the middle of the perform
ance, thereby placing them in a most try
ing ~predicament, relieved them Of any OBJ
legations to pay Miss Coghlan her entire
weeks salary

ELKroN, Md. May 25.-This little
town is greatly exercised over a mysteri-
Gus murder that has Unexpectedly come to
light near here. About a month ago an
Italian named Antonio Sarrili, residing
near North East, in this county, suddenly
disappeared, leaving no traces of his
whereabouts behind him. He was sup
posed 10 have some money, and fears were
entertained that he had been done away
with. Yesterday a farm hand, while
going through the woods near Sarrini's
late residence. hunting for some COVE
that had strayed away. stumbled over
Sarrini's dead body lyingin a dense thick
ct. The body was badly dccomposed, but
easily recognized. He had evidently been
murdered, as his skull was crushed in,
and the body had evidently been dragged
from the road near by to the place where
it was found. Nothing was found on
the body, and several of the pockets were
turned inside out, showing robbery had
been the incentive TO the crime. The I'M
fortunate man had evidently been waylaid
on the road, His assassins are sup
posed to be some tramps, a multitude of
which infest the neighborhood.
