yard wall. Inside it ] caught 4 fly
ingesimpse of the yellowpony quietly
cropping among the tombs. We
had our prey, then, inclosed in that
peninsula as in trap; but there was
one outlet.
Presently the turf ceased. Dis
mounting j ran to the edge and
plunged down the rocky face. had
descended about twenty feet when l
came to the spot where by craning
forward | could catch sight of the
spit of rock and the Quick Boy sand
to the right Of it.
The sun-a blazing ball of red-was
just now resting itsnether rim on the
horizon and its level rays fell upon
the man we were chasing. He stood
on the very edge of the rocks, a black
spot against the luminous yellow OF
sea and sand. He seemed to be medi-
tating. His back was toward us and
he perceived neither his pursuers
above nor the heads that at this
moment appeared oyer the ridge be-
hind him and not fifteen yards away
The party on the beach had dis
mounted and were clambering up
stealthiIy. Five seconds more and
they could spring upon him.
But they underestimated q mad
mans instinct. As if for no rea-
son, he gave quick start, turned,
and at the same instant was
aware of both attacking parties. A
last CLEAN of sunlight fell on the
snuff-box in his left hand; his right
thumb and forefnger hung arrested,
grasping the pinch. For fully half d
minute nothing happened: hunters
and hunted eyed each other and
waited. Then, carrying the snuff to
his nose, and doffing his hat with II
stirical sweep of the hand and low
bow, he turned again and tipped of
the ledge into the jaws of the Quick
Boy.
There was no help now. At his
third step the sand had him by the
ankles. For a moment he fought it,
then. throwingup his arms, sank for
ward slowly and as il bowling yet up,
on his face. Second by second We
stood and watched him disappear

| Quick Boy sand met once more
above him.
In the course of thenext afternoon
the vicar of Bleakirk called at the

pinned to the church door. 1t was

THE THING NEEDED.
Northern Markets for Texas Fruit
and Vegetables.
LETTER FROM Mr.. G. H. Ruee.

In your paper of the 18th a. article from Mr..
Pritchard of Dakota county, Neb., I think
strikes the key note of the transportation prob
lena government road from Kansas City or
Omaha to Chicago and also one from Kansas
City to deep water on the igulf through to Texas.
Such a road would regulate the rate on all other
I have been working to solve this freight ques-
tion for nearly two years. You published the
result of my efforts last July to ship melons to
Chicago from Texas, and on small fruits and
peaches it has been impossible to SEND them to
paw expenses; but have now tC say have the
promise from the management Of one road that
if carried out will let us out IN Eastern Texas,
and have hopes that other roads Will do the
same. The rate promised is by the Cotton Belt
road to Chicago on passenger time IN fruit cars,
fifty cents per 100 in car lots; and / think no
fruit-raiser shipper will complain of that.
The time is less than two days-about forty
hours if not delayed at Cairo. On melons, on
freight time of five days, forty cents per hun
dred which will give Chicago melons by July 4
if the season Is eaTly as last, and at one cent
per pound, or twenty cents Tor q twenty pound
melon.
l think if there was a need of a Livingston and
a Stanley going to Africa to explore that dark
continent there is a greater need OF working up
the Texas fruit aud melon industry, and when
once established, the tide of emigration from the
North VIII be turned in that direction, for
market is all it needs G. II. RUGG.
To the Gazette.
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, April 2l.-I
find the above in the Prairie Farmer of
the 10th instant. Mr.. Rugg is right.
There is nothing that will help develop
Texas more than providing a market for
our surplus fruit and vegetables. The
shipping of Texas products to NOrtherns
markets would be grand and effective
advertisement for the state, and would
result in inducing many people IL elEEEa
here. A reasonable rate and fast TIMES
is all that is wanted TO make gardening
and fruit raising profitablssn Texas. The
officials of the Fort Worth and DenXeE
railway have done yell bYssfhe
shippers OF their line, ana tbs Essdlt is
that there is quite a demand' for smalb
farms all along the line, and in tass
years this business will bring in a SOD
revenue to the road. Canning factories
have been established and more will fol-
low, and instead of buying our canned
goods from California and other states
we will keep the money at home.
Mr., Rugg should be encouraged and
assisted in the good work. If he succeeds
in getting a good rate the whole state
will be directly benefited. y. X,

sistIng of two issues known as ''sinking
fund.- and ''gold mortgage bonds.
The bonds were secured by two mort
cages to the Union trust company of
New York. Default was made in
the payment of interest and the mort
cages were foreclosed. The bondholders
appointed defendants as their trustees to
purchase the franchise and property of
the corporation at foreclosure sale and
gave up bonds in payment. Defendants
agreed to organize a new company under
the laws of Kentucky, turn the property
and franchise of the old company over to
it, receive for 1t all of the stock
of the new company and dis
tribute it among the bondholders
Whose trustees they were) pro rata.
Under this agreement the bondholders
to man surrendered their bonds. De-
PENDANTS purchased the road at foreclos-
ure sale and organized the Ohio and Big
Sandy railroad company. On trial it
was shown by William J. Gaynor, mil
lionaire White 8 attorney, that in July
last defendant filed certificate of the
new company, fixing the capital stock
at 50 900, 900, which was to be distributed
among the bondholders according to
agreement. Among the directors of the
new company were men of wealth ,includ-
ing DR.. Cornelius n. HIGHLAND of this
city. 1t appeared in September follow
ing the trustees filed certificate of in-
corporation in which new directors were
named. 1t was alleged the new men
were appointees of Coils p. Hunting
ton; several of them were clerks
in his office. The new certificate
provided only 1914 900 worth, at
par, of the stock should be issued to
bondholders instead of the entire capital
stock of 81 900, ZOO as required. By the
trust agreement the Huntington board
of directors would have been left in the
control of 500 600 worth of capital
stock. Mr.. White sued for an injuno-
ton to restrain the trustees. Justice
Barnard, in his opinion, says: The
second reorganization was not in ac-
cordance with the trust agreement, and
was not made in good faith to the bond
holders

IOWA sToCKMEN.
A Fight on Between Them and the Rail-
roads over Stock Rates.

A Fight on Between Them and the Rail-
roads over Stock Rates.
Iowa stockmen who are located on
branch roads are complaining that they
don't get rates to Chicago as low as
Omaha and Kansas City shippers, and
charge discrimination. A day or two
ago special agent of the interstate COM
merce commission called at the Iowa
railroad commissioners office in Des
Moines, in company with J S. McPher-
stockmen in general are being discrimi-
mated against in favor of stockmen of
Nebraska and Kansas.
McPherrIn has brought test case be-
fore the interstate commission. He
shipped a carload of stock to Chicago and
rendered the Rock Island company
twelve and half cents 100 pounds, the
rate which Kansas City and Omaha
shippers were paying. The company
asked twenty-five cents, but he refused
to pay what he called the double rate,
and the road sold the stock and rendered
him the proceeds less twenty-five cents
per 100 for transportation. He has re-
fused to accept and asserts that in the
courts the matter will be tested TO its
fullest extent. He claims that by this
arrangement the Iowa farmer has beJn
Systematically robbed of twelve and
half cents on every 100 pounds of stock
that he has sold, and he thinks it is time
the abuse was remedied. The Iowa COM
missioners are interested in the matter,
but have no power to act.

Whom the Cut Hurts.

The present low rates east and west are
affecting no one more seriously than the
country ticket agents. Their constitu-
ency has quit buying tickets from home
Offices. thinking to get cheaper rates by
hurrying off to the nearest city to consult
the agent at that point. AS matter Of
fact the passenger pays more for his
fare, say to Chicago, counting his local
to this or any other city than he would
pay were he to b ny the ticket through
from his home office. Of course, the
local agent of the connecting line loses
his commission, while the agent at cut
rate points, who works on salary, is
given more work.

A comparison with the ocean carriers
on business that may be considered d.
rectly competitive shows that the ocean
carriers, untrammeled by legislative en-
actments, with no restrictions limiting
the rates they charge. have carried
5Sl5 per cent. Of the competing business.
The chairman believes that strict en-
fOTCement of the fourth section of the in
terstate law would require either the
abandonment of all through traffic to the
ocean carriers or the still greater sacTi-
fee Of reducing local rates to a level
with ocean rates, practically resulting in
a confscation of transcontinental roads.

P1TrsBURG LABOR TROUBLE.
Chief of the Brotherhood of Trainmen in
Consultation With the Men-Con-
cessions by the Roads.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 21.-Grand
Master Gilkeson of the Brotherhood Of
Trainmen arrived in the city this morn
ing and has been IN consultation with the
mass of men of the Knights of Labor or
der. The men have grown holder in the
presence of their leaders and say they
can stop all trains from New York
to Chicago unless the sixteen points pre-
sented in their grievances are conceded
them. The railroads have conceded all
but five of these points, but the most i'm
portant, referring to wages, remains to be
settled. The wages on the Panhandle
road have been raised eGnal to those on
the Pennsylvania, but the men on the
latter lines have not secured their adj
vance. The men in Allegheny Valley
find their chief grieveaace in the deducf-
ing of eight cents for time taken at
meals. All lines entering the city are
running smoothly. Men are beoon5fng
defiant over the strenuous eSorts0f rail-
road detectives, John L. Norris Aand lo-s
cal detectives to center non-uni6n men
here in order to anticipate a strike. Tel
egrams from the outside, however, say
many men are afraid of Pittsbarg IN
event of a big strike. Gilkeson is stilis
talking to the men in secret conference,
though it is said the ruling sentiment Is
arbitration and concession, as the rail-
roads seem willing to give way to GER
tain extent. @
