RAPID CITY, s. D., Aug. l4.-ln the
southern hills within sight of this city
dark volumes Of smoke are rising from
q region understood to be twenty miles
in extent. The wind at one time cleared
the atmosphere between that and this
city, when good view was obtained
of the fire, which proved to be in the
immense quantity of timber land lying
between the foothills and Rockford. 1t
originated from lightning which struck
ten days or more ago. The fire is
spreading all the time in every direction,
and consumes everything in its way.
The fire already has destroyed great
deal of good timber.
Last week some person in passing
along the road near Lockwood's ranch
threw the contents of pipe on the dry
grass close TO Lockwood 3 house. 1t
soon caught and dangerous prairie fire
resulted. Hundreds of acres of pasture
land were burned over. 1t was several
miles in extent, but the loss was con-
fined to the grass.

FAMISHING CATTLE.
Scene ut a Water Tanque Surrounded by
Thousand Steers Believing for Water.

Scene ut a Water Tanque Surrounded by
Thousand Steers Believing for Water.
The following scene is described by A. L. Cox
of Fresnal, CAL, 10 a San Francisco re-
porter. Cox had just left the range where he
had been looking after the welfare OF large
herds of cattle:
II have just come from Fresnal, where have
been engaged for some months running steam
YOU Il remember, it became very dry, and We
had no rains for months; every hole, tanque
and charco became as dry as a powder house,
and all the water to be had in that entire Sec
ton of country was that obtained at the Fresnal
pump. There are 1000 head of cattle at ihe
Fresnal and ali those became thirsty at the
same time, and they all congregated at the
pump for water. bumped and pumped and
kept the thing going night and day, and still
the water was not sufficient to qnench the thirst
of that number of cattle.
''They Kept crowding up until that immense
herd had the pump surrounded, and then l was
in the midst of them-40O0 'green-eyed mon
sters' believing for water. Such sight
don't want to see again. Some of them would
come up with n two feet Of me, look me in the
eye, shake their horns AMI maEing a loud bel
low and dismal continued sound, would pass
on towards the tanks Well was / reminded in
the midst OF all this, when Dryden said: And
rocks the believing voice of boiling sea- re-
bound But in this case it was the scarcity Of
water the believing voice of thirsty cattle re-
bound never want TO be caught in such
DreGicamen again. Fortunately in a day or so
the rain and the water holes and the
charcoS' were again filled.
''Then we had another job, and it was with
great difficulty that the cattle were driven to
water-they could not smell water anywhere
else but around the pump. and hence they re-
fused to move. After working with them for
two whole days started them off towards the
large 'charco' and when within q half mile of
the place they all started on q run. Reaching
the char O. they filed themselves up, and
peace again relgned on that rancho

OIL and Grade

The amount OF oil in fleece has nothing to do
with the grade to which it belongs, says the
Michigan Farmer. Usually, however, a very
oily fleece is Of short staple-too short for de-
half inches. An oily fleece is frequently n verv
choice one when secured, the oil protecting tbe
staple. ana preventing its injury from friction
strong, even fleece, too, as the animal which
produced 1t must have been well fed and cared
for, and the fbres are therefore strong and even
worth less per pound than a light one. becsnse
the loss is greater in securing. Beyond that IL
is equally as good, if it is of any Quality. We
generally OF better quality than tina grown ~,
average grade hocks- The only point Which can
be urged against it is its shrinkage. The other
points are in its favor.

Nothing Doing.

The livestock market in Fort Worth appear
to have experienced dropping of the bottom
Absolutely nothing is being done. Commission
men set in their Offices andlook into the street
with kind o: all gone look which no one
can detect CLEAN of hope. There has not been
beef animal sold in Fort Worth for two weeks
except to butchers, and mighty few of them,
When asked for q livestock item a cattleman
will look queerly at reporter for a halt minute
and then burt out:
Don't know none-there are no items to give
you.''
And the answer is brief expose OF the situa-
uon; The inactivity in livestock lust at presen
is little remarkable. There are no buvers
here, and If they were here cattle holders are in
no hurry to sell at the figures their stuff would
bring. They are going to hold over until bet

Green Grass in the West.

Recent advices from West Texas tell of re-
freshing rains and growing grass. Mr.. McKen-
zie, who owns a ranch at Eagle Springs, near
Sierra Blanco, states that splendid rains have
up very fast, and that cattle are doing we'll.
Even far out on the plains, that country once
called the great DESERT the range this year
Is better than it has been for years during this
season, and water so far has been abundant.
There have been no reports of cattle laying by
thousands, - as used TO be the case. The dry
belt this year is confined to 8 very limited area
in the state, and as general thing the range Is
very good where the greatest number OF cattle

DEAD In JAIL.
Tragic End Of August Ostenson, Brother Of the
Man Recently Assassinated.

Tragic End Of August Ostenson, Brother OF the
Man Recently Assassinated.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
FORT DAVIS, TEX, Aug. u.-This
town is again shocked with another
tragic death. August Ostenson, brother
of John P. Ostenson, who was murdered
on the night of the 9th inst. by some
one shooting him while asleep in
bed, was taken in custody yesterday by
the officers on suspicion of having been
the one who committed the murder and
placed IN jail. This morning the jailor
was Mortified on entering the Jail TO find
him dead in his cell. The general snp-
position is that he had some sort OF drug
about him with which he committed sui
eide; others contend that he either died
from heart disease or general excitement
and modification. A thorough analysis
of some of the stomach, which is now
being made, will very likely reveal the
true state of facts.
