one of the pioneer fine cattle breeders in the
country. He became rich as the craze for
high priced, imported short-horns grew,
until in the COS and the 70's he was worth
probably $500. 600. He had the Airdries,
and paid out SO. 600 as readily for a bull
that happened to be after his own heart as
more conservative men paid out money for
good lands with houses OH them. But the
general went broke when the craze SUBJ
sided. His son failed after him. but the
widow, with all her style and grace, had a
better head for business than either the
husband or SON. She took the he rds that
were left and managed them, and, where
both men had failed, she succeeded. Her
sale few years ago was the most success
full one in the country, with one single ex-
ception. Her sleek cattle averaged price
that had Heretofore been unheard of. She
breeds the ''Wild Eyes" and they are
known wherever fine cattle are. and her
herd of forty head earn her handsome
income every year. The lady read paper
a year ago at the National convention, Civ
ing her experience as a cattle breeder. 1t
was printed everywhere. and probably was
read by more men and women than all the
other papers put together.

widow has gotten over that folly. She
breeds cattle for money, not for glory.

Tom Bige1ow's Death.
New Orleans Picayune.

On Sunday. Nov. 81, last, arrived at the
ST. Charles hotel Thomas Burton and j. r.
Williams, who registered themselves as
coming from Atlanta. Ga. Burton was a
tall, fine looking man, middle-aged, and
appeared to be merchant in good financial
circumstances. He was in ill-health and
appeared to be suffering. On the 23d of
November. two days after his arrival Bur-
ton was found dead in one of the closets OF
the hotel, and Coroner Finney was noti-
fed to hold an inquest.
On examining the effects of the deceased
no papers or documents could be found to
indicate that the man was what he repre-
scented himself to be. and this fact evoked
comment from DR.. Finney, who thought it
very strange.
He told Col. Rivers of this, and yester-
day he met him and Col. Rivers called DR..
Finney's attention to the remark he had
made relative to the absence Of papers iden-
tifying the deceased. He then informed
DR.. Finney that the stranger was one of
the most noted and skillful thieves in the
country.
The body was taken charge of by Messrs.
Francis johnson & Son. and by them
shipped to Windsor, Canada, to Mrs. Louisa
Burton. 1t now transpires that Burton was
the once famous hotel and bank thief and
general sneak thief. Thomas Bigelow, OF
Detroit, Mich, and that Mrs. Louisa Bur
ton is the no less famous Lou Jordan, one
