fore the train could be stopped he was

taken to Monclova for medical aid,
The train proceeded on its way. Re-

and engineer and the agent at Mon
clova, Mr.. Frank James, were all ar

found out that he hadn't tackled
no durn squeakin' rat. The hawk
thrashed his wings about and claw
ed with his claws till the rooster's
feathers few around that yard like
dead haves In gale. But Shorter
had grip O that iron jaw O. his
on the hawks gullet, and after ten
minutes or more the chicken steal
er's caioric give out, and then the
rooster soon pounded the life out'n
him. I'm havin' the hawks skin
stuffed, and that will be a scalp
worth showin'.
"'Old Shorter won't have no
fghtin' goin' on round his prernis-
es that he don't do hlsseH. Some
times some o the young roosters
tries to settle some grudge by lit
tie sparrin' match 'twixt their
selves, but il tile old boss is around
he break that fight up. He jist
slides over to where the young fel-
lows 10 whackin' away At one an
other, he and swats one this way,
and t'other one that way, and jaws
and swears at 'em as good rs good
as if he spoke English. The other
day he broke up a fight, but hadn't
no sooner walked away whom the
two youngsters was at ag'in, tooth
and spur. Then Shorter walked
over aud ketched one O the roosters
by the back o the neck and carried
him out o the yard, Ayin' on the
fenco with him and droppin' him
out on the t'othsr side. He KEEP
that rooster outside all day, and
the next day everything was as
as a sunday school pic
mic.
"'He's a queer old cuss about
family matters, too. When a hen
matches out her brood, she's got to
pass the whole lot Of 'em right over
into Snorter's charge, and he looks
after 'em like a mother. This
rather breaks the hens all up, and
80 we have to take all the old hens
with chickens and put 'em away by
themselves. That rooster hain't
got his match on the American
continent said the farmer, and
the man that can buy HIM don't
live.'--The Sun.

Secretary Lamar declareded that
no person, singly or In squads,
shall trepass upon lands belonging
to Indians. That the treaties made
with them must aud shall be OBJ
served not only by the government,
but by the people. This is right,
and we hope that the Secretary will
at once proceed to eject the big cat
tie men from the Oklahoma lands,
although they recklessly declare
that they won't go. II any one is
to receive benefits from the lands
tied up to the Indians it should be
the actual settler, not the represen-
tative of combined capital.

novel spectacle.

The Sihn0tion.-Since the meeting
of delegates at Homecoming last Satur-
day nothing transpired until Thursday
afternoon, when an answer to the re
Guest for q conference, formulated at
the meeting referred to, was sent by S.
S. Lee, president of the Swanton coal
company, to Hector Cochrane, at
Homecoming, secretary of thel miners.
That answer was favorable to the re
quest save a disposition to decline
treating with the Knights of Labor.
Mr.. Cochrane replied to an inquiry
for information upon this point, but
his answer was not regarded as salts
factory.
Mr.. Lee subsequently declared the
conference "off."
Other exchanges followed, however,
and the conference was fixed to take
place at the Queen City Hotel, Cum
herland, yesterday evening.
1t was ascertained, however, that
the committee of miners could not be
collected on a notice so brief, and the
meeting was finally fixed to take place
at 10 o'clock this morning.
