There were two shipments of cattle from here this week, amounting to S60 head. One shipment-22O head was made by L. Bryson to Carbondale, Kansas. The larger portion of them were purchased from L. Bauer, of Tombstone, Charles Lindeman, of the Whitewater, and Rockfellow & Servoss and B. G. Gum also having some in the lot. The other shipment-647 head-was made by l.. H. Jones, Me Pherson, Kansas. These latter were purchased from the Chiricahua Cattle Company, and came from their steer range in Graham county. They were il splendid lot of steers, and averaged l0l7 pounds in weight-a high aver age for this time of year, We under stand $2l2t net was paid for these steers, which .would be Y22.25 per head. This is the best sale we have heard of this year.
 A fourhorse team from the Sierra Bonita ranch ran away We'd nesday. The team was at the depot, and became frightened at a passing train while the driver was out of the wagon. When they started to run, however, the driver, Seratno Estrada, Mexican, climbed into the wagon and attempted to stop the team. He was not successful, though, and was thrown from the wagon in front of Norton's corral, receiving a number of painful bruises. Dr. Porter states that one of his knees is severely in- ured, and it may prove quite serious. The team was finally stopped, little injury being done to them or the wagon. In their flight down Railroad avenue they run over and broke down three trees in front of Judge Nichols | office.
 The steers from the Graham county range of the Chiricahua Cattle Com pany shipped from here this week gave more trouble in loading than any other lot ever sent forward from these yards. It took over twenty-three hours to load them, and some of them had to be dragged on the cars. One steer gored horse in the corral, and became so vicious that he had to be shot. Eleven balls were fired into the animal without killing it. The COW boys with the cattle were sorry looking and feeling set of men when the earring was completed, as they had been three days and nights with out sleep.
