THE WAY TO BREAK A COLT.
A Claim That the Animal Must be Treated
With Cruelty.

J. B. Corey, a wealthy citizen of Brad
dock, was given a hearing before Squire
Hoffman. of the same place, yesterday, on
a charge of cruelty to animals, preferred BY
General Agent O'Brien. of the Humane
Society. The offense charged was the whip
ping by Mr.. Corey OF a colt which was
being broken to the saddle. The prosecutor
alleged, and it was admitted by the defend
ant, that the animal had been cut with a
whip until the skin was broken in several
places.
Attorney Yost claimed that the whipping
was not cruelty under the law, as there was
no other way to subdue a Iractious young
animal but by whipping. The Magistrate
reserved his decision.

Each of Two Cases.

Ench Of Two Gases.
james M. Stevenson, committee of Cecilia
and Annie E. Stevenson, lunatics, yesterday
entered suit in their behalf for $4,000
damages, each, against the Shannopin Oil
Company, Limited. 1t is alleged that in

tract of land in Beaver county. The oil
company was to drill at least six wells on
the land, the owners to get one-sixth of the
oil and protect the wells from drainage by
wells on adjoining land
They, however. only drilled one we'll, and
instead of protecting the land, secured ad-
vantageous leases on adjoining land, sunk
wells and drained the oil from the PLAINTIFF >
land. For thus violating the agreement
$4,000 damages in each case is asked.

The Alliance Convention.

The Alliance convention at Iberia
last Saturday was, to judge from all
reports, lively and interesting affair.
Delegates were present from all the sub
alliances and discussion as to the policy
OF procedure as to nominations was rife
throughout. John Kobe was chosen
chairman of the convention and Chas.
Cutting secretary. The first fight came
when it was moved to admit delega-
ton of Knights of Labor from New
Ulm. A vote was taken and big ma
jority were in favor Of excluding the
delegation. Thereupon several of the
Alliance men arose and protested.
claiming that it was mean piece Of
business to refuse to admit the Labor
men, especially when at the previous
meeting they had asked them to unite.
These speeches called for reconsider.
alton OF the vote, and, while it was
thought that the nays were still in the
majority, the chairman ruled in favor
OF their admission. 1t was all to no
purpose however. for the Alliance men,
who were in favor of making original
nominations out of their own midst,
as against endorsement of the other
tickets, were SO largely in the majority,
that the vote of the labor delegates re-
ally counted for naught.
The first position to be filled was
that of representative to the legislature.
The names of Christian Ahlness of Lake
Hanska and Mr.. Scott of Burnstown
were presented to the convention and
that Of the former prevailed by a small
majority. Ole Jorgensen then handed
the clerk a written letter to the chair
man of the Republican county commit
tee, signitying his unwillingness to ac-
cept the Republican nomination for au-
ditor. His action was awarded by Civ
ing him the Alliance nomination for
treasurer. The rest of the ticket was
then filed out by naming Herm an
Plath for auditor, Samuel Bellig for
Judge of Probate, Chas. Cutting for
Register of Deeds and B. Marschner for
clerk of court. The offices of sheriff,
attorney and school superintendent
were all left blank.
Of the nominations it is needless to
say much. That of C. Ahlness caused
quite stir and was the means of the
withdrawal in disgust of the delegation
from Prairieville. The action of Ole
Jorgenson in Withdrawing his name
from the Republican ticket was break
on his part providing ne wanted Office.
AS it was, he stood the very best chan
ces of election. As it is, he cannot
hope to win. The candidates have
small hopes Of succeeding. It was
their opinion however that this was the
best time to commence the fight, and
how far they have missed their calcula-
tions the November election will show.

Encournging News.

John Sparks, Of the firm Of Sparks
& Tinnen, arrived at Reno Monday
night and was interviewed by a Ga
zette reporter as to the condition OF
their range stock. Mr.. Sparks says
that his firm have lost more stock
on two different occasions within the
past ten years than they have this
Winter.
He left Tecoma, Nevada, n station
on tho G. P. railroad at the Utah
line, on tho 1lth day OF January and
travelled on horseback for four hun
dred miles to Snake river and back
through his ranches and over tie
hills, and found very few dead cattle.
Tho snow was lighter in the hills than
it was in the valleys and the cattle
were never driven out. They re-
manned in the hills where the brows-
ing was good, with moro feed and
more shelter. His firm was feeding
and pasturing in their fields eighteen
thousand head md lost nothing but
thin and weakly stock cattle and they
were lost where they could be counted.
There was no loss Of steers or dry
stock. Mr.. Sparks does not guess at
q ything, for no saw the whole region
a id knows exactly how the range
country is. He says that his neigh.
bors are coming out better than they
expected, and he believes that the
men who shipped cattle out will lose
moro money than il they had LETT
