 tee, was hanged. He has been q
 terror to owners of stock in the
 newly settled portion of the Upper 1 Missouri Valley for years, and the news of his summary lynching is received with much satisfaction by the settlers. He was known on the Lower Missouri and Mississippi river in former years as Slippery Ryan"
 Hoof and Horn: The question of title to the disputed part of tine Zuni Indian Reservation, which was located upon by Paymaster Tucker, son-in-law of General Logan, with view of stocking it with cattle, has been under consideration for some time on appeal of Maj. Tuck CT, made through General Logan, on the ground that at the time this location was made the disputed tract lay outside of the reservation, and he was, therefore, not only jus tified in making the location, but is entitled to the land. The deci- sion is adverse to Logan and Tuck CT, and the lands will be confirmed to the Indians.
 Colorado Live Stock Record: The Chicago and Kansas City cat tie markets have been glutted for the past fifteen days with animals from Texas and the western range country. We see in few instances that punches of fair Texas steers at Chicago went as low as three cents, while good export cattle were firm at six and half. From present indications it is fair to pre- sume that good cattle will hold 8 good price through the fall. The men who have them should not be in hurry to crowd them forward, but wait until they are fully ma tured, and put on their last pound of flesh ere the first blasts of winter strike them. While upon this sub- iect we will say it is only astonish- ing that some of the cattle that go from the southwest are sold at all.

Leader: It is at Santa Fe that 100000 head of stock from Indian Terri tory are headed for New Mexico, and the report has created sensa- tion among the resident cattlemen, many of whom declare that the cattle will not be allowed to enter the Territory. It is not claimed that New Mexico is fully stocked, but the resident cattlemen say there are now in the Territory sufficient cattle to fully stock it in few years, hence their endeavor to keep out new herds. Governor Ross diff fers with them, however, and says there is room in the Territory for five times the present number of cattle, and all stock healthy enough to pass quarantine will be admitted and protected.
