Horse Thieves.

MT. T. Lillie Mercer, writes to the Wilcox Stockman, fEep Tubac, Yndst date of January 18th, that a very heavy theft of horses had been recent ly made in that vicinity. He says:
 "It is believed that from thirty to forty horses were stolen. The raid yas in the Santa Cruz valley partic- ularly, but also look in the surround ing country. The thieves were trailed to the town of Santa Cruz, SonoraS where they pawned fine mule be- longing to Sabino Otero. Several of the stolen horses were there seen in there possession. From th2re they were trailed to near the Palominas, where they killed a vaqucro named Manuel.

 There were many others stolen, oi which descriptions have not yet been received. The latest report was that the thieves srwere heading for Mule Pass. The Sheriff of Cochise county has been notified, and it is to be hoped that he will be able to corral these "worse than Apaches."

A ssHnndsome,, Reward,

On Wednesday night Henry Duren, private watchman at the Gainsford Carriage works, found wallet con- tainiag $500 in currency in the rear of stuffatter's saloon, No. 1s, East, Eighth street. Duren entered the saloon and inquired for the loser of the money, who was found to be Carl Brill, d grocer at No. l25, Milton street. Brill, it is claimed, was to leave for Sacramento, Cal, yesterday morning, but had imbibed too freely in bidding his friends good-by the day previous, and would have been unable to go had it not been for the honesty of Duren in returning him his lost money. As 8 reward for Duren's hon. 'esty Brill offered him glass of beer, which was indignantly refused.-Cin- cinnati Enquirer.

The Proper Way of Handling
 Cattle.

Many methods Cf handling cattle on the range in vogue among the cow bows of former years have become ob- solete. More care is now taken not to unnecessarily run cattle. Fpe days of the lasso for general use in the herd on the open range is rapidly passing away. Col. A. E. Head, on his New Mexico ranches, '.has carried this i'm provemenei6 handling stock as far as any cattleman we know of, He does not allow the festive cowboy, "as oi yore, to ride at full tilt among the herd swinging the lasso. In fact, his herders do not use the lasso on the open range. The cattle are treated carefully. All cutting out is done in corrals, into which the cattle are driven carefully, without running or exciting them. The advantage of this is apparent to every cattle raiser. The running of cattle OF the range, as 1t has been practiced aeoasioned great loss of flesh and rendered the cattle wild and manageable. Of course, the crossing of the blood of the orig final Texas and Mexican cattle with more domestic thoroughbred has had a tendency to render the herds of the present day more docile'ap6 tractable' but a great deal can be accomplished by carefully handling, and as it takes from ten to forty acres of range, de- pending on the quantity and quality of grass, to furnish food for an able bodied steer,iit is poor economy to occasion him any loss of flesh by un- necessary running. -'International Live Stock Journal.

Dogs that Weigh q Pound.

delphia times:
 Every Mexican owns at least one Chihuahua ehiq4ita dog. They are beautiful little creatures and of two varieties-one with long, silky hair, the ether with short, smooth coat that is short as velvet to touch. l have seen full-grown specimens that weighed a trife over a pound and young puppies about the size of field mice. They have large, expressive eyes and the best of dispositions. A fashionable Philadelphia lady with one of these diminuative creatures as her companion on promenade down Chestnut street would attract as much attention as did Barnum's Jumbo, K y ,s!st' istroatttion t0'the Chihua- hua chiquita was in Presidio del Nor te, Texas, little town on the bank of the Rio Grande. I reached there late in the afternoon, with letter of in- troduction to the principal merchant, an American named Russell. He re- ceived me very cordially and gave me the keys to his corral and feed-box.
 !"Put up your horse," he said, "but look out for the dog. I'd send one of the Mexicans around, but they're all busy How.".' .- .'..
 I was bitten by dog once and have a wholesome respect for the smallest and most inoffensive of the race. As l led my horse 'arouHd to the corral gate I examined my six-shooter to see if it was properly loaded and when l entered the enclosure my trepidation was not diminished when I saw star ing me in the face an enormous sign with the legend, "Beware of the Dog '" painted on it in great black characters. A cold, precipitation began to ooze Aom every pure .of my hQdy an9 if the sombrero that I wore hadn't been so heavy believe that my rising hair would have lifted it off my head, l walked on the lee side of my horse, my cooked six-Shooter ill my hand, with every sense alert to warn me Of the approach of the ierocious monster, who was no doubt sleeping in one corner of the corral. With trembling eaSers I unsaddIed my horse and my knees knocked together as l measured out his feed. SG iar ! lad escaped the notice of the dog, and 1 was backing toward the corral gate, inwardly con graduating myself on my fortunate escape, when heard yelping bark, about as loud as the chirp of an Eng fish sparrow, and one of those Chihua- hga ossiquitasj Gtaamle' tali e bouiding across the yard, making leaps that measured at least six inches in length. He looked so ridiculous that I burst out laughing, whereat he stopped barking and began to wag his liliputaid tail and frisk about like rat. I learned afterward that he was the only canine about the place, and his owner has the reputation all along the frontier of being a confirmed practical joker.

 Among the relics of the late war slowed away in the United States Ordnance Museum on Seventeenth street, is a sabre, fully five feet long, which was found on the battlefield of Manassas. This formidable-looking weapon was evidently made in some village blacksnith,s shop, from the fabled plowshare, at the outbreak of the war and its handle appears to have been carved with jack-knife from 8 cows horn. A Virginian who visited the museum last week recogn- ized the sabre as one that had been used by a giant Virginian cavalryman in stuart's command. "The cavalry man in question:" said the Virglnian to the Hatchet, twas nearly seven feet high and broad in proportion. He had that big sabre made by'a cross roads horseshoer and promised } hew his way through the Yankee lines with it and enter Washington, but, poor fellow, he was shot at Manassas before he could carry out his rash Purposs.9
