PLAYING THE SUCKERS.
How a Rustic and a "Tacky'' Pony
Fleeced Memphis Sports.

How n Rustic and a "Tacky" Pony
Fleeced Memphis Sports.
MEMPHIS, Jan. S.-There is lot of
sports in this town who are hunting for
somebody to kick them around the block.
All because they picked up wild west
erner for sucker and he "made mon
keys" out of them. His name is DIR.
Miller and he came to Memphis few
days ago with drove of ponies. Among
them was an ugly little beast that ex-
cited the derision of all who saw him.
This morning a crowd of sporting stock
men gathered at the sale, began to guy
the doctor about his ''Tacky." THAT
pony, gentlemen, can do something that
none of your fancy horses can do He
can pull 300 pounds of sand attached to
a rope mile long for distance of ten
feet" said the doctor. what will you
bet on it?" demanded the crowd. "Any-
thing you like" said the doctor, calmly
pulling out a wallet full of big bills and
drafts. The sports called in their friends,
and altogether they raised $1,000 in cash
One of them also put up 100 acres of land
III Iowa. The doctor covered all bets.
The trial came off in the afternoon on a
smooth turnpike. The bag of sand was
weighed and the rope was measured and
Strengthened. The doctor took his de-
spised pony to the other end and hitched
him to the rope, then slapped him on the
rump and told him to ''go" The little
animal moved quietly forward till the
rope was taut and then gave a steady
pull. The bag moved twenty feet.
Its an old trick of his, gentlemen, -
said the doctor when he reioined the
crowd. He has done it before many a
time, It's the gentle, steady pull that
does it. Much obliged to you all" and
he led the pony leisurely back to the
stable

STILL ON THE WARPATH
Revolutionist Cara Not Yet
Captured,
BUT HE AND HIS MEN HAVE GRIPPE.

The Chilcap Niatter-Investigating the
Assault on the BaItimore's Crew-Sailors
on the Stand-The Gear Angry About the
AduIterntion of Food for Peasants.
SAN ANTONIO, Jan. S.-The expected
tidings of the capture of Cara did not
arrive although anxiously expected, and
no news of the scouting party sent in
pursuit of him came to headquarters
Thursday The fact that failure to
capture him was not reported was con-
sidered as a favorable sign and gave rise
to the hope that the party was on hot
trail and did not think it best to send
back courier until he could bring in
some definite tidings
No doubt is expressed here that CARA
is somewhere in the neighborhood of his
father-in-law's ranch near Palito Blanco.
more than seven leagues from Rio
Grande City, and it is said that he is not
only suffering from his old wounds
through the stomach, but that la grippe
has him i'll its clutches tightly and that
malady has also manifested it.
self in the ranks of his followers, many
of whom are suffering from aggravated
forms of it, which their recent hard
ships incident to active service have in
tensifed.
The troops sent in pursuit are also suf-
fering great hardships. and consider
able number of them have succumbed to
influenza, aggravated by exposure, but
the main bodies do not seem discouraged
by the attacks of their companions by
this disagreeable malady, and all efforts
are now being directed to driving a cor
don of troops around the banditti. From
the manner in which the latter are scat
tered the success of such an undertake
ing is problematical, but the military
authorities believe it perfectly practical.
Great Encouragement is felt over the
fiat refusal by the civic Federal authori-
ties to give the military the proper sup.
port and assistance or TO employ men
with the search service fund who would
point out for capture the followers and
supporters of Cara and the violators OF
the neutrality laws.
A drill by the Seminole scouts and
their pack mules took place Thursday
prior to its being sent off Thursday at
8 o'clock to the front via Laredo. The
mules are admirably trained and Chief
Scout Bailey handles them well. The
infantry at the post here are being
drilled in the new tactics for field and
regular battle movements and espe.
cially to deploy forward ON centre sec.
tons. The drill Thursday attracted a
large attendance, as it is beginning to
look like the infantry may have to march
out after Cara, and it is being drilled
with that in view
If CARA is not corralled before the end
of this week General Stanley and part OF
his staff will go into the field next week
but he is expecting that the movement
will be suppressed before then and there
Will be no necessity for his going.
