Clutchcd tho Pulley and Saved Himself

Clutchcd tho Pulley and Saved Himself
Mr.. Charles Griffin, while engaged in
adjusting one of the large pulleys ut the
leather board mill, Milton, N. f., came
near losing his life. He was inside the
pulley, and, the gate not shutting tight,
his weight on the front side caused the
shaft to start, and his only chance for
safety was to clutch the arms Of the
pulley and reyolve with it. 1t was q
desperate move, but he did so, and for
two or three minutes rode rs fast as a
man often HIS an opportunity of doing.
Oscar Hueston discovered the situation
and STOPPED the machinery. Griffin was
released from his danger Cnharmed.-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular Correspondent

From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, ID. G. July Z, 1890.
President Harrison has heretofore
been given the credit OF at least de-
precating, il not actually oPpos
ing, the passage Of the Federal cleo
ton bill now under discussion in the
House. But he has latterly taken
occasion 10 declare himselfin favor Of
the bill. A gentleman whom tho past
has held very close official and per
sonal relations with the President
related the substance OF an inter
view between him and the Chief
Magistrate last week. The inter
view opened with a declaration by
Gen. Harrison that under no circum'
stances would he interfere even by
the remotest suggestion, outside Of
an official message, with the action
of congress. Then the President
continued: III they pass the FEEDER
eral election, will sign it as soon as
il is presented TO me for my consider
alton. want them to pass that
bill and I don't care who knows it.
Subsequently the President said he
had, in o desultory WY, advised his
friends in both Houses OF Congress
to proceed as rapidly as possible
with the final enactment OF the bill
80 that ''it might became a question
of discussion in the coming cam
paign.'
No delegation Of Indians in Wash
ington of recent years has attracted
the attention which is now bestowed
on the Moqui chiefs. The chiefs are
a bit modest, and instead OF sitting
out on the veranda Of the hotel to
be stared at by the crowd OF children
that gathered whenever they ap-
peared outside, they went out into
the back yard and smoked cigarettes.
Each OF them wore moccasins, and
they took them off and went bare
footed except when in the street.
but despite the long strings Of beads
three o! them wear around their
necks they are all more or less rag
ged, and to-day Gen. Morgan, Com
missioner Of Indian Affairs, will pro-
vide each OF them with q suit of
"store" clothes. The chiefs who are
here say that they had heard that
there were great many white peo-
pie, but they did not believe it, they
had 70 idea that there we're any
where near as many white people as
Moauis. the latter numbering about
$500. TIER trip here has left them
in state Of dazed amazement and
the five chiefs have given up all ideas
of hostility to the whites.
Speaker Reed has donned a
negiige' shirt, glrded up his loins
with sash, and put on pair of yell

an intimation that he has made up
his mind not to adjourn Congress as
early as he announced he. would at
the beginning of the session. In
fact, it looks as if Mr.. Reed had pre-
pared to stay here all summer. l..

ROUND.UPS.
Pointers that Indicate What May be Ex-
pected in Cattle Circles.
Washington Buyers After Texas Hogs-Cattle
Buyers in State of Uncertainty
General Stock Notes.

The present relative prices of feed and
cattle are out of all proportion and surely
cannot last. The prices of beef cattle,
il is true, are little better than they
have been, but they are not so far gone
as they are bound to be in the future.
The heavy run of cattle to the markets
has in great measure been caused by
the high price of feed, brought about by
short crops in the West. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that this thing cannot last.
When the present movement OF cattle
an unnatural one-is over there will be
an upward turn IN prices. In view of
everything connected with the cattle
business it is not wise to dispose of good
cattle at the prices that are now being
paid at Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City
and other markets. 1t may take consid-
cradle nerve to hold on but in the long
run it will pay to do so. The man who
can round up q bunch of fat cattle,
either corn fed or grass fed, next spring
will get better figures for them than has
been paid for many years.
The fact of the matter is there are GO
ing to be but few corn-fed cattle on the
market next spring as compared with the
usual supply, and this fact will tend to
appreciate the value of good grassers.
Cottonseed will be used extensively in
Texas and the Southern states during
the winter, and little or no corn. While
the corn crop in Texas has been moder-
ately good the failure of the crop in other
states will cause corn here to 60 beyond
feeding figures. In Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa the number of cattle fed this
winter will fall far below what is gener-
ally fed, and when next springs market
opens there will be q good demand for
grass cattle. Texas can furnish more
grass cattle than any state in the Union,
and if the cattlemen will only hold their
stock off the market until the brisk de-
mand for them sets in they will have all
their pockets full of money.

Butchers Advancing Prices.

Those who buy meats in the metropoli-
tan markets have, no doubt, discovered
stiffening prices of good beef. although
the prices charged are already much
higher than when cattle were on the
present basis few years ago, and the
public is called upon to pay more proper
tionally for what is consumed. The fact
of this advance is evidence that butchers
are feeling the effects of the change
which has been quietly taking place in
the cattle trade for several months past.
They are, and they know that they are,
paying more for cattle than they did a
year ago, and the dear people are called
upon to foot the BILL National Stock

Killed His Little Brother.
Correspondence of the Gazettee.

Correspondence of the Gazettee.
1REDELL, TEX, Sept. 16.-About noon
to-day our quiet little town was thrown
into furore of excitement when the
news was spread from house to house
that Mr.. S. F. Marshall's little four
year-old son Reuben mad been accident
ally shot and killed by his elder brother
while attempting to take pistol from
him. From the best information at
hand it seems that the two little boys
had gone to the trunk of their STEP
brother and taken a Smith s. Wesson
pistol, and went to the rear of the house
and were playing with the weapon.
Suddenly the family were startled by the
sharp report of pistol. The affirighted
mother seized her child and started in
quest of physician, but before she had
proceeded far from the house discovered
that the child was dying. The ball en-
tered near the upper part of the sternum
and came out at the back of the neck.

After Texas Hogs.

Those men-farmers and stockmen-
who have thought but little of the i'm
portance of the swine industry in Texas
could be elevated, will be surprised, no
doubt, to learn that the state of Wash
ington has buyers here Tor Texas hogs.
This is true nevertheless, and it is unfor-
tunste that the buyers could not find at
this season of the year what they wanted.
Yesterday GAZETTE reporter met MIR.
E. Younts of Seattle, WASH, who stated
that he had come to Texas to buy a large
number of hogs in fair condition that
would weigh from $50 to 175 pounds.
81 have not been able as yet,'' he
said, "to find what 1 want. l find
plenty of hogs in Texas, but they are in
poor condition. The farmers who own
them have not fed them on account of
the high price of corn, and as the mast IS
not ripe yet hogs here are poor. Oregon
and Washington are in the market for
hogs and will want quite a number this
year. ~

improvement. in Hides.

1t has been noticed no doubt that quite
an advance in hides has taken place in tn q
last few weeks, such an advance indeed
trade in the course of a few months.
The effect of this upon the cattle industry
must be beneficial. Hides have been
worth less in the last five years than in
any like period for long time. This
fact has been one of the very discourage
ing elements connected with the efforts
to produce beef at profit. Now, that
hides are becoming more valuable again
the change must be for the good OF cat
tlemen. This is one of many causes
which point to the same result.

of Austin in the chair, and reelected Professor
Alex McFarlane to the chair Of physics, Profess

the charge of plagiarism made against Prof. q.
Tallichet of the chair on languages passed a
resolution emphatically generating Prof.
Talliche The charges were made by
four students that in June, 1887, Tallicnet
delivered a lecture on Thackeray taken
from British author. 1t was proved on testi-
mony of Ex-Governor O. NJ. Roberts. Rev. DIR.
Dabney and Judge Fulmere Of Austin, who
were at the lecture, that Talli-
Chef distinctly stated to his audience that
in consequence of the press of
business he had not been able to prepare lee
ture, and therefore had to draw from foreign
author. Tonight Tallichet is congratulated
by his many friends, and he stands higher to-
day than he ever did as learned Hnguist.

Ttnid Buyers.

Locally speaking matters in livestock
circles, SO far as transactions are con-
oerned, are still dull, but there is an
increased inquiry after good steer
cattle. A number of feeders
have been iu the city during
the past few days aud all wanted cattle,
if they could get the kind they were after
at suitable figures. Would-be buyers
are rather between fear and desire-they
want cattle, but hesitate on account of
the short crops and the unsettled oondi-
ton of the market to buy. They have a
kind of shaky faith in the future, and
are just in that condition where they fear
they will lose money if they buy, and
fear they will not make any unless they
do. This condition will not last long,
for there is every indication that the
markets will improve. and then buyers
will be redhot for steers. They will have
to pay for them then.

is what is now puzzling them. This
compulsory evacuation OF that section is
not general, for there are three firms of
cattlemen who are permitted to remain
on the reservation with their herds by
the Indians, who seem to be influenced
in some way in favor Of the three re-
naming herds. 1t can easily be seen
that the range cattle business is going
rapidly and the day is not far distant in
the future when IL will be almost I'M

PENITENTIARY FOR LIFE.

of the Murderers of James MeGregor.

of the Murderers of James MeGregor.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
LINDEN, TEX, Sept. l6.-The readers
OF THE GAZETTE are familiar with the
facts pertaining to the execution of Tom
Miles, Henry and Fletcher Holden on
the 9Th of last June, for the murder of
white man, James McGregor. 1t will be
remembered that four negroes were i'm
plicated in the killing, and that Sam
jackson was convicted of murder and his
punishment assessed at death, the same
term as the other three. He
was granted new trial,
and has been Ianguishing in
jail ever since With a guilty conscience
for companion, while his three COM
rades in crime paid the penalty 9th of
June. They vigorously protested their
innocence with the last breath. Sam
has had his trial this term of the court
and his punishment asse ssed at confine-
ment in the penitentiary for life. He
seems pleased with the verdict; has no
desire for new trial, and has since
made a confession Of the crime, which is
substantially the same as that made at
the preliminary trial, which report has
previously appeared in THE GAZETTE.
He says the motive that prompted Tom,
Henry and Fletcher to plead their inno-
cence the day of the execution was to
save his (Sam 50 neck. He now states
they are ali guilty, but that some should
have suffered more than others, as they
had more to do with the murder.
