The small amount of snowfall IN most
portions of the territory is causing some
growls from stockmen. The range is
good, but in some localities, notably
along the North Platte, the cattle are
forced to stay in the valley near the
water, where the feed is short. A few
miles back in the hills there is an abund-
ance of feed, but no water. A snowfall
of several inches now is greatly needed.

In vast region of Africa horses are
unknown. Recently a white explorer
rode through the country on horseback.
The natives followed him in crowds and
begged him to stop once in each village a
few days in order to give the people an
opportunity TO see the strange monster
Many of the Africans feared that horse
and man were one animal, terrible
monster sent to devour them.

Death of nettie Cook.

Probably the most distressing accident
that has ever happend in the county &C.
cured about four miles northeast of this
city Monday morning at the residence of
Henry Cook. A new well had been dug
there the week before and all that was re-
quired to complete the work was to clean
it of the muddy water. NJ. Cook had a
man hired to go down in the well to do
this. but being late his little daughter
Bette, about 13 years old, volunteered.
Her father refused, but she insisted and
then her mother expostulated, which was
without effect, and the little girl went
down in the well, had filled up the large
bucket with mud and water, and notified
the father to haul it up. This he had
nearly accomplished, when the rope broke
and the bucket fell the distance, about
sixty feet, on the victim. 1t seems when
hit, she was bending slightly and the
bucket struck her on the back OF the head
She lived about three hours but never re-
gained consciousness. Nearly every res
ident have noticed Bette when she came
to town, as she was lively and intelligent.

instead of sending to market $3.50

For the past six months the editor of
the Cimarron Jacksonian has had the
columns of his paper filled with abusive
language against parties who live at In
gals, and more especially has that sheet
directed its abuse towards Fred Singer
who has made his home at Ingalls,. On
Sunday. July 2Sth, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Singer accompanied by another gentle
man and his wife visited at the home of
Doc. Barton, which lies just south of
CimarrOn, and in the next issue of the
Jacksonian there appeared an article
which stated that Fred Singer, the cow
ard, had made this visit but that he was
too much of cur to come to Cimarron."
Monday was circus day in Dodge and
Garten the Jacksonian editor accompain-
eddy friend brought their ladies down
to see the show. Mr. Singer hearing that
they were In the city took copy Of the
Jacksonian and waited upon Mr.. Garten,
who offered, by using little bluff, to
back up what he had said, and the conse-
quence was that the two men from Cim
arron were both badly handled by Mr..
Singer The two gentlemen were not
seen in Dodge after that and the story is
told, that they Immediately started for
home in buggy. leaving their ladies that
accompanied them here to look out for
themselves, not even wishing to see the
circus. We wonder if the little lesson
learned by Garten here on Monday. will
not be sufficient to stop some of the abu-
sive articles that appears each week in
his paper-If not we advise him to stay
on his own perch.
