Jem Davis story Of Early Days.
A correspondent who recently visited
jeff Davis at his home i'm Bcauvoir relates
this:
"Over on u table was n short, dusty
sword that had been recently sent from
Mexico, and attached To il was n card
which said that he weapon had been
found on the spot where Lieutenant Davis
mady his famous charge at the battle of
Bucna Vista, and turned the tide Of vic
tory i'm favor of the Americans.
~ touched the rusty old sword and al
most unconsciously Mr.. Davis drifted into
talking of the heroes of the Mexican war
of Bowie, and Houston, and Crockett.
".Henry Clay once told me- said Mr..
Davis, with n smile, of his first meeting
with Bowie. Ii was i'm the early days and
Clay was travelling in n stage coach where
the only other passengers were "a pretty
girl, u biR.. rough-lookinR countryman,
and u limp little figure i'm n great coat.
With the consciousness OF his own perfect
physique Clay said he was conRratulatinR
bundled up i'm the corner. when he became
conscious that the pretty girl was begging
the rough countryman not to smoke as IL
savage oath that he had paid his far,,
and would smoke when he - pleased.
Mr.: Clay said he was just trying To screw
sirating with the country giant, when the
limp little fiRbrc undoubled itself like
cached down it's collar. brought "p q
knife that in the excitement of the mo.
ment looked n yard long, and with another
cat-like movement seized the fellow by
the throat. "Throw that pipe out of ths
window or IH-!" A comprehensive
sweep OF the MISUNDERSTANDING blade
finished the sentence and sent the pips
shattering on the ground. In another
minute. the knife had again Disappeared
down the capacious collar and the linn

The Concert Company.

Annie Louise Tanner, who appears
here with the Divide MusIn Concert COM
pany March 4, was prima dona with Gil
more's Concert company last season, and
was praised without measure everywhere.
Many citizens of Cheyenne heard the lady
in Denver.
OF Musin himself the San Francisco
Examiner says:
That he is master of the king of iu-
struments was shown by his magnificent
rendition of the Carnival de Venice; his
exquisite bowling in the highest position
on the L string, bringing out as beauti-
fully defined notes as he would the lowest
tones on the G string, proves the gran
deur of his art. In all of his concert
pieces he brings out fascinating chains Of
brilliant tones.
This critic has listened to some of the
grandest violinists of the age, but in no
instance did he observe such an absolute
absence OF grating tones; not one being
apparent in his magnificent work during
the evening.
Mons. Musin is only 80 years of age,
and what he will accomplish with his in
strument when he is 40 it is difficult to
conjecture. However, it is safe to say
that should he continue to progress he
will, at that period, have no peer on

MI. Z. s. r. Boughton, manager of
the lone Land and Cattle company. who
is in the city to day, says that more cattle
are now being stolen over the territory
than ever before. Two outfits in North
ern Wyoming are now preparing to move
to Montana, because they claim they can
not secure protection in this territory
from cattle thieves. This condition of
affairs is due mairlY to the prejudice
which exists against the Stock Growers
Association. So deep seated is this pre-
judice that even when the association
secures the indictment of any one for
cattle stealing it is impossible TO obtain
his conviction. The association has only
a comparatively small fund at its disposal
for its protection. and the fact that its
efforts to secure the prosecution of thieves
has proved in a great measure a failure is
being taken advantage of by those who
make their living by proving upon the
herds of others. 1t is said that many of
the section houses along the line Of the
railroad are now being supplied with meat
stolen by those from whom it was pur-
chased
