part Of New Mexico Such is the havoc oc-
casonally wrought by those storms, which
sometimes sweep the whole length OF that
great plain from the Saskatchewan on the
north to the Gulf of Mexico on the south
II is the grazing common OF a continent
And the good years usually continue just
long enough to make the herders careless,
and then comes an awful season-One that
kills everything that is caught out. There Is
no warning-at least, none that is sufficient
AS rule, however, the storm is preceded by
few days OF unusually mild weather; there
is then an ouinous darkening of the atmos-
phere, sometimes few hours of rain and
Wind, then a sudden fail of the mercury, and
"a keen wind from the north that whirls the
snow ia white and binding clouds.
AT such time each animal acts according
TO its nature-in blind instinct Of self pres
ervation Horses gallop maGly before the
storm, but do not crowd together. Cattle
bunch, SO TO speak, crowding 50 closely to-
gether that one might walk across their
backs, and drift before the wind Sheep, if
they have time, rush to the nearest hollow;
if not, they crowd together in small groups,
with their heads to the center and noses to
the ground. After the storm, it is often
found that sheep and cattle are lying in
bunches just as they formed IN life, the
whole herd or flock having u,assed till all
died
Man, being reasonable and not gifted with
an animal instinct, acts according TO his
knowledge. The ''tendeTfoot" foOlishly seeks
the open plain, eKh2usts his strength and
dies in the attempt to reach shelter. The ex-
perenced plainsman, however, if far enough
south for the snow TO be wet, seeks the lee
ward side of rock or a shelving cliff, or,
better still cave, and shivers it through till
better weather In tie far north, where the
snow is dry, he has better thing; there a
bare hillside is protection enough. lie digs
into the snow and ''noles up" it soon covers
aim, the wind passes far above MS head, and
his breath and bodily warmth soon make
comfortable atmosphere in his iInprovised
cave" Many instances have besn known
In the far northwest where men remained
sixty hours In these snow burrows-ate, if
they had provisions smoked, talked where
two were together, suffered but little and
came out uninjuTed
But the cowboy has the worst lot. In the
beginning OF the storm he feels that ne ought

deadly cold wind Is the rule ON the high
plains of Texas and eastern New Mexico In
the late storm two cowboys, thus isolated,
sought shelter in q canyon and found cedar

to make fire One of their horses died
from cold. and they cut strips Of meat from

them without salt, tins keeping up their

During the storm passenger train on the
Denver, Texas and Fort Worth railroad was
snow-bound on the drearleSt part of the
plains, and when all provisions on the train
were exhausted e herd of cattle running be-
fore the storm gave out and died beside the
train. The passengers counted it a godsend

sn1nats' horns had split open from freezing
Even in the settled sections of Dakota that
winter cattle died Of cold within few rods
of thu sheds which they were unable to reach.
The destruction of animal life in some Of
these western storms is awful to contem-
plate 1t is stated that in one noted winter
over two million cattle persisted in Texas
alone. In the spring of 1872, passengers on
the Kansas Pacific railway were amazed at
the number of buffaloes. A well known
writer on western topics says that for two
hundred miles Gt was on the Sd of May his
train was never out of sight of the herds
That autumn the pot hunters" began their
shall we say infamo1sl-work. The ami
mails were prevented from taking refuge in
their usual southern haunts; the hard winter
came and millions persisted. In the spring Of
1875. says the same traveller, Il found the
plains for two hundred miles dotted with
their carcasses in every stage OF decay. At
every station were great piles Of the green
hides, tainting the air far around, and gath
ering buffalo bones was q regular industry.
The animals were net exterminated by hunt
ers-ten times as many froze to death as
were shot"
When the Morinons succeeded in shutting
Johnston's army out Of Utah in the autumn
of 1851, every OK in the command died and
every mule but one, All the plain on Hams
Fork was dotted with groups of bovine
corpses, and the soldiers had to hitch them
selves TO the sleds TO draw wood. Most re-
markable of ali are the cases In which human
strength and endurance have triurnphed over
billiards. When Illinois was still open prairie
for the most part-the settlements being
chiefly in the timber along the streams-an
old man named Carter started to cross the
prairie on which Champaign City now stands
with two little grand-daughters in an OK
wagon, and was snowbound some dozen miles

ried on There.
The casual visitor TO the Washington
Navy Yard would never think from the
outward quiet prevailing there that a
large amount Of manual labor was being
performed. yet such is the fact.
The new ordnance foundry, which is
to be devoted to the casting of hugo steel
rined guns, is all up and only waiting for
the iron roof which the contractors, for
some unexplained cause, are unable to
deliver. When this building is ready,
which will be in few weeks, all the
heavy new machinery will be placed
and some 800 extra men engaged to run
II. The machinery is all completed and
will be delivered ms soon MS the building
is fit to protect it. 1t will be the largest
and most complete establishment of its
kind in the world
There are now something like / 400
men employed in the yard at v arious pur-
suits, manly in the construc tion and re-
pair of ordnance stores; and the output
would be far larger but that the ordnance
officers are left in the lurch by the Beth
lehcm Steel Company, which failed to
deliver steel as provided for in contracts
made.
inlntlng, carpenterlng ana several 1oD-
bing and repairing of buildings and
stores are lively, and the great throng Of
men that GIBBS and flows from the gates
tell strong story of easy times for all
who look to the yard for livelihood.
The eastern or city side of the yard Is
being fenced off from outside grounds by
n ten foot tight fence, and the enclosed
ground will be paved in the same manner
and used for storage purposes.
The new copper rolling mills will start
up to-day, and will require an additional
fifty men to work them.
The stcrnpost of thefamous Kearsage,
in which the shell fred by the Alabama
was embedded, and which formed the
chief attraction to visitors to the museum,
has been sent to the International Expo

attention from the fact that 1t was on

ANOTHER MrRnER TRIAL.
James Payne on Trial for Shooting
Robert Jackson,


The second murder case for this week
was taken up in the Criminal Court
to-day. James Payne, rather good
looking colored man, was placed on trial,
charged with having on the 4th of
August last killed Robert jackson by
shooting him. lie was indicted with
Walker and James Tolliver. but a sew
crance as to the defendants was secured,
owing to variation in the lines of
defense.
During the selection Of jurors the usual
difficulty arose in connection with people
who had read newspaper accounts of the
murder and formed impressions. u. W.
Classic appeared for the defense, assisted
by G. A. Brandenburg. Mr.. Classic con
tended that the formation of such an
opinion rendered man incompetent TO
sit upon the fury. Judge Montgomery
said he did not desire to place himself in
the attitude of being ready to excuse
every gentleman who reads newspaper
from jury service. Tile real attitude of
such Juror was that If the newspaper
was correct then his impression was that
il was a bad case. This would not pre-
vent fair consideration of the evidence.
The challenge for cause on this point
was ovcrruled An exception was noted.
Mr.. Lipscomb and Mr.. Mullowny APP
peared for the Government. Mr.. Il. A.
Thomas, who appears US counsel for the
Tollivor boys, was present to look after
the interests of his clients.
Mr. Brandenburg advanced the sug-
gestion during further examination rs
TO the competence of jurors, that if the
Court held to the course adopted there
would scarcely be any necessity for a
trial, as all would be necessary was to
identify the defendant as the man men
toned in the newspaper accounts. The
jurors, whom the defense desired to eX-
cusc, stated that their impression from
the newspaper account was that the man
was guilty. They expressed confidence
in their abilities to try the case on the
evidence.
