SEEEP IN DAKOTA.
Sheep Farmers in the Twin States are Pros
porous.

Sheep Farmers in the Twin States are Pros
porous.
1t is estimated that the wool clipped in
s 200, 900 and 1000, 900 pounds, an in
crease of about 40 per cent. over the
clip of last year. This is said to be in
excess of the wool clip in the three states
of Iowa, Illinois and Michigan.
The wool clip in these states is worth
from fifteen to twenty cents a pound at
the farms averaging to the producer fully
eighteen cents a pound. Mutton is now
worth IN the Chicago market seven cents
pound, and all the sheep husbandry of
North and South Dakota Is represented
as IN a most prosperous condition.
More particular data on this subject
would be interesting, and it seems that
the general subject is one that the au-
thorities of those states might do well to
investigate carefully with a view of
clearly setting forth the resources of the
Dakotas in this great field of agricultu-
raj industry.
The Dakotas seem especially adapted
to the business of sheep husbandry. The
dryness of the climate and the abuu-
dance of natural growth of such vege-
tables as rosin weed, of which sheep are
very fond and upon which thew fatIen
rapidly, render those states particularly
inviting to this industry
The success of farmers who have en-
gagged in it is worthy of special note. If
the figures given by a Sioux City firm,
collected from the reports of buyers on
the ground, are anywhere near correct
the possibilities in this line presented to
the farmers of the Dakotas are very
large.
The past year has been an exception
ally hard year upon Dakota farmers, and
in the face of all the reports that have
come from those states it is surprising to
hear OF the remarkable increase in the
wool clip. According to these figures the
Dakota farmers will receive this year not
far from 81 500 900 for wool alone.

NO HOPE.

CattIemen Now Realize That They Will Get
No Extension From the President.
The cattlemen of the Cherokee Strip,
Kansas, Colorado, Texas and the South
west, are gathering in large numbers in
Kansas, arrivals at the hotels being
numerous. While many of them have
no direct interest in the closing OF the
Cherokee Strip, they al! feel that the
general price of cattle will be affected,
and many express the opinion that the
market will be greatly depressed if the
order of October is enforced.
The wires are kept in hot communics-
ton with Washington in the endeavor to
obtain IL CLEAN of hope that the petition
to the president praying for an extension
TO December l will receive favor at the
hands of the chief executive, but the
men who are vitality interested are losing
faith in any words of slight encourage
ment and feel that clemency will not be
shown.
A report gained circulation that q
meeting of the Cherokee cattlemen would
be held for the purpose of devisIng some
new means, if possible, for obtaining the
extension, but E. NJ. Hewins, who is the
leader of the Cherokees, said that no
meeting had been or would be held, as
the cattlemen had concluded that the
only plan had been adopted. Mr.. Hew-
ms has received several recent commune
cations from Senator Plumb and others,
which indicate that President Harrison
has determined to take no action, and
the cattle will have to be moved and the
Strip cleared by the first of next month.
According to the government quaran-
tine against Texas cattle, the Cherokee
Strip is made the dead line across which
Southern cattle cannot cross for breed
ing purposes, and no cattle can be ship
ped or driven for pasture or breeding, but
must be shipped direct TO market. This
precludes all possibility of distributing
and holding the cattle, and they must go
on the market, whatever he prices may
be. AS nearly all the cattle growers are
marketing their stock cattle at this time
of the year, the Cherokee men declare
that many of them are bound 10 go to
the wall, and they are hanging to the
slender thread of hope of presidential
clemency and extension to enable them
to market their cattle later than the reg
ular shippers.

THE GAZETTE. FORT WORTH. TEXAS, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER

met death like a fighting cock, even
helping tie the rope around his own
neck. -
He was hung, was he?''
Eyes, that's the way they disposed OF
horse thieves. This man, however, was
not a horse thief, aud the boys felt
mighty sorry they hung him when they
found out who and what he was.
''What did the man say he was ex-
pecting to be killed for?''
Well, you see he was oattleman and
a pretty well to do one at that. and had
done nothing on earth but kill fellow
up in his section and was hiding out from
the officers he thought they were
hanging him for that. 1 tell you it was
pretty bad case, and none of the men
who helped in the hanging would ever
talk about it afterwards.
''Horse stealing, then, was looked
upon as a greater crime than murder?'
'Why, of course it was. A man
found guilty of that kind of thing was
generally a goner. A man suspected
was generally tried before he was ar
rested. If the case against him was not
q strong one he would be allowed to run
at large but if he was proven guilty his
first intimation of it was received by him
through the committee on execution.
That s the way things were done few
years after the war. -

The Percheron Horse.

The Percherons are among the hand
soonest and most powerful horses. They
are especially popular in the western
portions of the country, where large
numbers of them are imported as stock
animals.
The French draft horse comes from the
province of Perche, hence its name. In
general characteristics it is like the
Clyde. but is longer bodied and rather
more heavy of bone. The Percheron is
not quite so hardy an animal as the
Clyde. 1t is Tot feather legged, like the
Clyoe. Like that horse, however, 1t is
extremely kind, docile and intelligent.
BY the constantly increasing importa-
ton of the Clyde Percheron and other
large draft horses from Europe, and
their admixture with our small native
American breed, we are rapidly improy-
ing the horses of the country. The
trotting horse, meanwhile, is all Ameri-
can development pure and simple.

Cattlemen Continue to Work Against Them
selves By Crowding Our Market.
The National Live Stock Reporter hits
the nail square on the head in the follow
ing article on the persisrency of cattle
men in shipping nearly all the cattle to
Chicago:
1.-The stockmen have neglected to hll
up st. Louis. Day in and day out for
several weeks the buyers here have had a
famine staring them in the face, and
from q local standpoint there was a
shortage in cattle. II such a shortage
could be made to show in Chicago, prices
would Jump up dollar per hundred in
week, and wild meu would be out in the
country buying up the cattle. But it
does not appear that the cattle-raisers
want high prices for stock. III there is a
chance to starvs the big houses in Chi
cago they neglect it, but if thew can
starve some half way market, even
though it is paying net returns higher
than the greatest market is, they do so,
and in doing so they help to keep prices
down. Some ship around st. Louis be-
cause they are told they will save feed
bill, which BY the way they don Il save:
some ship around St Louis because some
Chicago railroad wants them to, and
there are many reasons why St. Louis is
neglected, and chief of all is, that some
body thinks that some day he will catch
q short supply at Chicago and gather the
proceeds. So far there are no pro-
ceeds. The Hannibal and Higbee

KANSAS WHITE CAPS.
They Take an Inoffensive Preacher Out and
Drag and Beat Him Mercilessly.


Drag and Beat Him Aercilessly.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. Alive
mounted and masked White Caps Tues
day night went to the house of J. E..
Smith, preacher who lives in lonely
piece of woods at Reno. Kan, and
throwing a gunny sack over his head
dragged him out, and the sack was
made fast by rope to the pommel OF a
saddle to one of the party, and he was
dragged through the woods for mile at
fast gallop. The White Caps then
stripped Smith naked, fastened him to
the ground by means of forked sticks,
his arms and legs extended, and beat
him mercilessly with willows. He was
left unconscious and bleeding, and when
found yesterday he was unable to speak.
He was removed to neighbours house
and medical aid summoned, but it Is
doubtful if he survives. He is about
sixty five years of age, and the only OBJ
lection the White Caps had to him was
that had he proposed to widow of forty
five who lives in the neighborhood.
