was jeered and horse-laughed by
the elements until it beat an igno-
minious retreat.
-Messrs. Williams and Smith,

cattle men are pretty blue, and pre-

just what the country needed, inso-
much as it will revive the dried
out range wonderfully in the spring.

propose to let little cold weather
deprive him of the luxury of an
inYigorating bath.
The Police News of q recent

illustrated, and of course, the pic
turc is true to life. The court room
is flied with wicked-looking, long
haired, fantastic cowboys, such as
were never seen outside the illus
trated eastern papers. The lawyer,
pronounced by experts to be Neg
ley, is holding up the skeleton of
poor Rich, and asking the prisoner
