A Stif.Necked Cow.

Mr.. Taber. of Little Compton. had q
tough experience with a COW few days
since. He was driving homeward in
his wagon. and the COW, an apparently
quiet animal, walked behind. She was
attached to the tailboard by rope
which was tied about her horns. When
the watering trough at Globe village
had been reached the COW stopped and
settled back on the rope, Mr.. Taber
whipped up his horse. but the COW
wouldn't be pulled, and quietly thrust
her horns under the wagon and lifted
her head. Mr.. Taber was thown into
the road. And the wagon was turned
completely over upon the astonished
horse. A crowd collected. and some-
body with presence of mind and a
knife out the rope and sesvered the
COWS connection with the whole affair.
When last seen she was coming towards
the city, and her owner was not inter-
fering. -Providence OR. ~ Journal.

Commissioner Sparks Sustained by Sec
rotary Lamar.

Secretary Lamar rendered Il decision IN
the case OF the contested tlmber-Culture
claim Of Patrick Byrne against William W.
porwood. taken on appeal from the COM
missioner OF the general land office. Mr.
Brvue contested Mr.. Dorwood's claim to
the northwest quarter OF section ., town
ship lbs. range -, Bismarck land dis trlct.
on thu ground that the contestant had not
planted Il tree nor broken the required hve
acres although he had possession OF the land
since MAY -. 1871 Dorwood claimed that
he was not compelled to make any i'm
provements on the land So long us his title
was contested and cites the fact that in
the case of Meserve against the contestee
the land had been decided, Jan. 3, 1880,
to be his, in the face OF an admission
by him that he had made no inn
prOyemeut on the land since
May u, 1850. The register and receiver
would not accept this precedent and recon-
mended the cancellation ot Dorwood en-
try. Commissioner Sparks held the entry
Tor cancellation and Doorwood appealed
to the secretary. In sustaining the decls-
ion the secretary says:
There is no doubt OF the correctness OF
the position that pending final decision
on contest on whatever ground or
charge, the entryman whose claim is at
tackled should continue to comply with the
