APecuIiar SIabbing Case.

Herbert Kreuz, the man whom Nick
Michaels attempted TO carve in the saloon
of the United States hotel on Saturday
night. was much better last night and was
pronounced by the attending physician in a
fair way for recovery. The whole affair is
peculiar one. Although it occurred at 6
o'clock in the evening it was not reported
to the police until after IL o'clock and then
by disinterested party.
An officer was then detailed to make in
quiries, and the proprietor of the hotel re-
fused to give out anything about it. He was
finally constrained to say it was the result
of quarrel, but that it did not amount tC
anything. 1t has since been learned that
Michaels Jared as badly, if not worse than
KreuZ. After he had stabbed Kreuz, it Is
said, number of men set upon him and
gave him an unmerciful beating. The po-
lice have been keeping strict lookout fol
Michaels ever since the affair occurred, but
had seen or heard nothing of him up to ]
o'clock this morning.

The Persian Horse.

The Breeder and Sportsman.
The Persians have from earliest times
been noted for hOrsemanShip. The Persian
horses, although full of spirit, are generally
far more gentle in disposition than Amer
lean horses. The usual PAGES are very
fast walk, a canter and run. The trot is
not favorite gait in the East. and ] am
quite of the opinion of the Orientals that it
is gait far more fatiguing for long rides
than the gallOp, and only tit for carriage
horses. \ strong horse years old can be
bought at Teheran for SIS dollars. 4 very
superior blood horse can be bought for $3.50
TO $500. The average price for a good and
handsome Steed is $50. The stables are
generally very primitive affairs, each horse
having a separate manger composed of
stone and mud. built against the garden
wall, with few branches thrown over to
keep off the sun. for during nine months
there is scarcely any dew or rain. Each
horse is also tethered by the hind foot to a
spike driven into the ground. But the great
est care is taken, Notwithstanding, in regard
to the health of these horses. They are also
carefully blanketed, and in cold weather or
after nightfall hardly anything can be seen
of them but the ears and tail; they are so
completely muffied with blankets of felt
VI course the royal stables are more eIaOO-
rate affairs, One gets a glimpse of horse
life in Persia in ancient times when he reads
in the history of the way in which Darius
Hystapes was elected to the throne. l will
not tell you the story, because if you have
not heard it it will interest you to look it up
yourself. But the royal stables of Persia
have always been stocked with hundreds
and thousands of picked steeds. fit for state
pageantS, hunting ana war. The import
ance attached to this branch of the kings
household brought about the custom which
existed from time immemorial, until within
the present reign, that fugitive from the
wrath of the king could find a sanctuary in
the royal stables. So long as he remained
there he was safe. The present shah has

THE NIORMONS.
Ex-GOV. Ramsey Says There will
be no Change of Policy.

EX-Gov. Ramsey, member of the Utah
commission under the EdmundS law,
reached home Saturday from the territory,
having left about the middle of last week.
He was seen at his home yesterday after
noon by GLOBE reporter, who asked him
for any fresh information of the condition
of things among the polygamists in view of
the recent indictments Of MomOns and the
statements of the dispatches that President
Cleveland would reorganize the commission.
''There is little to be said that has not al
ready been gone over in the papers"
said he i'll reply to the ques-
ton. GAS you know, there have
been several indictments secured, about
thirty believe, for polygamy and adultery,
for there are two classes of offenseS, and
this has caused no little feeling there. The
Mormons have had their own way now for
forty years, and they resist any efforts
against them TO their utmost. They are a
fanatical set and it is hard to carry out the
laws, though all that is needed is time and
persistent efforts and they must yield"
''The present policy will be carried out
under this administration, you believer"
asked the reporter.
Certainly. There will be no weakening
for this administration is as strongly against
the MormOns as the previous one."
Gov. Ramsey said he had noticed by the
morning papers that the Mormons had
placed the flags at half-mast on the Fourth
of July, and said it was very characteristic
of their fanaticism.

KenIuckY Horses.

Kentucky Letter to Chicago Horseman.
The other day had rather an interest
ing conversation with Hugh O'Neill, who
has had large experience with horses in
Kentucky. both as a liveryman and an
anatomical sheer, in which latter business
he is now engaged in this city. He agrees
with your correspondent that there is a vast
deal of careleSsness about horses feet in
this state, where the outside world sup
poses the care of horses is reduced to q sci
ence. 1t is not an unusual thing TO see
stable-hand rub down a good horse, wash
down his legs to the pastern joints and
leave all the dirt about his fet-lOcks and the
crown Of his hOOf, damp and diSagreeable,
TO dry as it will. This is my own observa-
ton. Mr.. O'Neill is decidedly of opinion
that most Kentuckians allow their horses
hOOfs to become too hard, whereby they get
brittle and break easily. The animals are
driven on hard stone roads and made TO
stand on hard floors in the stalls; and it is
his experience that the bad effect is usually
upon the front feet. To preserve the feet
il was his practice 10 have his stalls bedded
with natural clay, especially for the fore
feet. He prefers clay to anything, as it is
the element on which the horses feet are
naturally made to rest. In shoeing he con-
tends that ii is necessary to pare down into
the soft portion of the hoof; but adds that
some shOers Overdo it in that particular.
Upon the beveling of the sole, decreasing
the inside or outside, or the toe, and the
thickening of the shoe in some particular
part, the carriage of the foot very largely
depends, as is well known to all shOers and
horsemen in general. Mr.. O'Neill assures
me that Kentuckians generally are paying
more attention to their horses feet than
they formerly did. This only agrees with
facts in regard to all other facts of the
noble animal. Time was, not long ago,
when breeders of horses took little or no
care of colts that had any slight defect of
| legs or feet Such animals were suffered TO
run with the Others, and were sold for what

PETERS STILL ALIVE.
Contradictory statements as TO TIN
Shooting ARRAY.

Shooting ARRAY.
The bullet wound received Saturday
night by Frank Peters in John Wagner's
saloon, West st. Paul, had not proved fatal
up to a late hour last night, although the
medical attendants still believe it is only
a question of time. Peters continues to
grow weaker. but suffered less pain yester-
day than on Saturday night. He was Wis
tied by County Attorney Egan yesterday
for an aIiteAmortem statement, which was
not taken, however, as Peters does not be-
lieve he is fatally wounded and about to
die 1t would not be legally recognized as
q death-bed statement. The county attor-
ney, however, gathered some outside in
formation in the case, and took down the
names Of those present when the shooting
occurred. A brace of revolvers and an air
gun were discovered in Wagner'S bedroom.
AN EYE WITNESS STORY.
The story of Perry, the chief witness of
the affair, is about the same as that given
in the GLOBE of Sunday, with this eXcep-
ton that Perry says Peters was walking out
of the saloon when he was shot. The pO-
sition in which he would naturally be stand
ing, coupled with the place where he was
struck, is taken as further proof that the
bullet was fired by Wagner. The latter
still denies that he shot Peters, although he
discharged his revolver. He claims that
Peters caught him by the shoulder, pushed
him around and otherwise ill-treated him
before he ordered him out of his place. Ii
is claimed, however, that he threatened to
shoot some of them before, and that Oh
Friday night he swore he would shoot the
first man who raised any disturbance around
his place. Wagner has not long been en-
gagged in his present business, having re-

AN OLD-TImER,s HEROrsrT.
He Amputates His Fingers With
Common Pair OF Scissors.


Reno (Cal.) Gazette.
I. r. Porter, an old gentleman of IA
years, who lives in little cabin near the
north end of the V. and L. bridge, met with
a painful accident yesterday morning,
which resulted in the loss of the third and
fourth fingers and hand as far as the left
wrist. Mr.. Porter makes his living
by hunting, and yesterday morning, while
engaged i'll relOading a lot of shells one
exploded, badly SCATTERING the bones and
decorating the flesh. The old hunter saw
that he was badly wounded, and, taking
basin, went to his well for water to wash
it, that he might see just what was neces-
sary to be done. He tainted away once or
twice before he got his hand washed, but
getting his second wind, so to speak, he
cleanSed the wound and determined that
amputatiOn of the two fingers was neces-
Sary.
Without making any fuss or calling any
one iii, he deliberately and coolly went to
work to perform the operation himself.
Taking an old,pair of scissors, he probed
about until he found the joint just below
the wrist, which he proceeded to umcouple.
1t took him some time to sever the SinewS
and cords, but he finally accomplished it.

and consequently the delegates elected on
