TOPEKA, Jan. A contest bet ween

"held mp in the same way, while the
remainder OF the mob took possession
OF the county records and fled from the
town with them.
Gov. Martin said he would put a
stop to the fight if il required the en-
tire militia of the state. He proposes
TO have "a thorough investigation of
the case, and says the guilty ones will

Tom Graham's Scheme for Getting Rid Of
Wolves and Coyotes.

The sun River sun publishes he fol
lowing method of disposine Of wolve,
and coyotes. We believe it contain.
nothing new TO s;ocknlcn ia this SCI.
tion. II it has any new feattpes, how.
ever, there will he no harm in adopting
them IN the war Of determination ex now
being carried on in this region:
Tom Graham, who is now act tina
foreman of the Floweree stock ranch.
has. we believe. hit upon u novel and
effective plan of Kidding the range oi
wolves. lie does the business up by
poisoning the varmlnts. using horse
meat, tlnciured with strychninc. for
bait. He selects l,e oil, ,broken,Iown
saddle horses, kills them, cuts the
i'esh INTO small pieces, insert ing n lit H.
poison IN each. lie then takes the
hide aud carcass and drags them
irross the prairie some distance. sa,
"a mile. This leaves u scented trail for
wolves and coyotes to follow, along
which are 81 rewn bits of the poisoned
meat. Everything i now ready Tor
the slaughter.
From iacts and figures which we have
obtained as the result of this mode of
killing wolves. we are convinced that
the scheme beats all former project in
point OF economy, as well as being
effective enough to warrant the lIo,r
of eNtlng,ishihg the pests to u degree
that stockmen will in he future suffer
little or no losses should they unani-
nously follow it up.
Mr.. Graham says he picked up ihir-
teen dead coyote, and wolves oil the
traii oi Onecarcass as the result of one
night : icasling. The Spencer broth
ers have killed no less than 200 in the
same way, and Mr.. George Steel, who
has been supplied with horse meat by
Mr.. Graham. has killed more than he
has been able To count, the prairie ia
lac vicinity of his premises being spot
ted with their cawasses. There are
others engaged ia the good work who
are doing quite as well.
In conclusion We will say that We l.e-

made to-day, the vessel attaining a
rate oi twenty-one knots per hour,
while the contract calls for but twent Y

SiN-trnths of u rate OF twenty five

he front rank OF ocean greyhounds,
having ATTAINED the fastest speed of
any steamship ailoat The length OF
the course was officially cert flied o he
builders by the naval board as being
fifty four knots, and Messrs. Cramp Il
Co. were notified the Nesuvius would
have to 90 over il each WAY in : min.
31 ] y see. in order to attain the mean
speed of not less than twenty knots an
hour required by the contract. The
hrst run over the course was in the
direction Of the tide and WAS made in
u min. 30 Sec. which gave u rate OF
23.3J knots per hour. The second run
against the tide was made in Z min
30 Sec, showing a rate Of 2O:3J knots.
Secretary Whitney has wired the
builders az follows: II congratulate
you upon the result of the trial OF the
