A DOZEN DEAD.
The Miserable Luck of an Idaho
Horse Grower.
Animals Poisoned by Impure Water
and Bad Hay.
Twelve Died Travelling From Poca-
telIo to Cheyenne.

How many cars have you?' inquired
one of the Cheyenne Union Pacific
authorities OF a shipper who came up
from the stock yards yesterday morning
to see about getting food and water for
his horses.
II came in with three, but l reckon
one will be enough for me to go on with"
was the reply in a sorrowful tone.
The shipper was John Thomas, a we'll
known small horseman OF Caldwell Idaho,
He loaded three cars of fine horses as the
range there affords, at Pocatello three
days ago. A few hours after leaving
that point several in each car became
violently ill and before Cheyenne was
reached twelve were dead and Others max
ing a weak fight for their lives. First
they were dull, next combatted pain and
soon lost heart and sucoumbed in agony;
all this without showing symptoms of any
ordinary equine ailment.
DR.. Ed Allen, deputy state veterinarian,
was called here by Mr.. Thomas. He
made a diagnosis and then proved it by
a post mortemlof an animal dying here.
The trouble wasfaeute congestion of the
stomach and.bowels, and it was due to
impure water, and poisonous hay taken
on at Pocatello. Thomas says the water
placed il. his cars there was noticed to be
bad, but there was no other in the coun-
try and he did NOT think it very injurious.
The hay was some grass that hal not
been properly cured or else it contained a
weed indigenous to hat county aud death
to horses.
Thomas is a man who would not be
upset badly by financial loss though he is
a hard worker and not yet wealthy, but
be loves. a horse and well knew each one
in his charge. They were a fine lot of
sturdy, clean limbed and shapely young
administered on the Thomas ranch and
destined tor.the market at Quincy, Ill.
DIR. Allen was.highly complimented by
Mr.. Thomas for his skill. The vcterina-
rian gave immediate relief to several
horses in a bad way.
A humber Of city horsemen visited the
Improvised hospital at the stock yards
during the day.

Our theatresoers have been accustomed
to a certain round of dialects in the many
comedies performed here and scarcely an
innovation has been made for years.
Hubert Wllke in Clay G~reene's play of
Peh, the Vd0abond. ropose to give us
a decided novelty in hat respect. The
part will be played with a Hungarian
gypsy dialect, and as Mr.. Wilke has
made a study OF this line of work for
years, it is nc new thing to him, although
novel to us. The play itself has been
written with a view of introducing the
gypsy specialialties made famous by
Wlke in the opera OF FdHa and in the
Ratedtcher Of Hdmeiin.
1t is essentially a society comedy, with
many strong dramatic situations, and
abounds with comedy Of a very fine order.
The author has spent more time over it
than over any of his former plays and
considers it his masterpiece. The music
is partly original, aud many gems of
Hungarian song have been introduced to
give the scenes a Characteristic favor.
The company is even and well balanced
without a single incompetent person in it.

The Boss Bear killer.

William Mccoy came into Lauder
Tuesday from the northern part of Ere
o. county, says the Clipper. having a
lot of bear skins that represented a por-
ton of his springs work at hunting and
trapping in the mountains. He had
with him eleven bear skins of various
sizes and colors. Two of the skins were
beauties in their way; one an immense
silver tip that gave the hunter a good
deal Of trouble to get, the other one a
smaller silver tip but as beautifully
marked and as finely furred as anyone
could ever expect to see. The eleven are
exactly half of all that Mr.. Mccoy has
killed since May; the remaining eleveu.he
disposed Of before he came here. They
were all killed IN the Shoshone noun
tains about Trail creek, north of Stink
-ingwater. The game in those parts is
very abundant. as but comparatively few
hunters get in there and scarcely any at
all from outside the state. The bounty
paid on the skins, and on eight coyotes
that he had with him. amounted to the
quite handsome sum of $40.
