The English four posted bedstead was
a huge affair. There is one at one Of

Stockmen Say the Losses Are Small in
Texas and the Territory.
IsssaSishing to ascertain if possible the effect
of the recent hard weather on CATTLE. a
GAZETTE reporter yesterday interviewed
every cattleman to be found in the city, and
the result of this investigation is that the
reports of damage and loss have been
grossly exaggerated. The storm appears
to have been more severe in Texas than in
the Territory, but even in Texas the loss is
only nominal.
Capt. S. B. Burnett Esays the loss in the
Wichita country will be very light. He has
had no definite report, but says cattle were
in good condition and well able to with
stand the weather.
T. L. D. Andrews, manager of the Home
land and cattle company in Texas, was of
the opinion, from information received, that
the losses in the Panhandle would be insig-
nificant.
Mr.. Halseu of Vinita has lost but very
few cattle, in spite of the reports to the
contrary.
D. L. Denny, a prominent cattleman of
Claremore, Cherokee Nation, told the re-
porter that the losses in that section would
be Very Slight. He says report Is in Cir
sedIation that he has lost several hundred
head. and that it is absolutely false. He re-
ports the grass as starting finely, and says
his loss will not average one-half of l per
cent.
Ed. Carver of the livestock firm of Cas-
sidy Bros. of the National stockyards, st.
Louis, is here to-day from Henrietta He
says the storm was very severe for the
time of year, and that the losses would be
considerable.
Advices from ]. S. and D. w. Goodwin of
Jones county are to the effect that cattle
are doing well, considering the weather,
and the loss will be small.
Win field Scott has inst arrived from the
Creek nation I. 7. He reports the weather
in that section as being rather rough, but
says he saw more snow in Texas than in
the Territory He was delayed by wreck
at Waggoner, and says when he left that
place the snow had all disappeared and
that judging by what he has seen and heard
the loss among cattle will be very small
j. c. Carpenter, a prominent stockman
of Decatur says that his losses from the
late freeze were very light. He says the
bad weather was of too short duration to
do any considerable damage.

Canadian Livestock.
Chic ago Drovers' Journal.

OTTAWA, March l6.-The Canadian cattle
exporters are getting alarmed over the pos
Sbility of the British government applying
more stringent regulations to cattle imports
From the Dominion, and it is evident that
this is not without some cause. a short time
since the Ottawa correspondent of the Lon
don (Eng.) Standard cabled to his paper
that disease resembling pleuro- pneumonia
had made its appearance among certain cat-
tie in the Canadian Northwest, in the Peace
river district. The publication of this in
FORMATION in London caused great alarm
among the Canadian cattlemen, who feared
tliatptbeir cattle would be scheduled when
landing 81 England, as in the case of the
cattle imported from the United States
To discredit the statement cabled by the
Standards correspondent was their first
effort. and, with that objection in view, the
services of DR.. AcEachrane, the govern.
ment veterinary surgeon, was called into
reauisition. AS result, the doctor, re-
siding at Montreal. three thousand miles
from the Peace river district, made a
diagnosis of the case and reported that it
was not pleuro-pneumonia with which the
cattle were affected. but tuberculosis. The
statement was cahled to England, giving
denial 10 the Standards cable The fact
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1892-03-19

that the government veterinary jumped at
the conclusion without visiting the locality
affected. and in his mind diagnosing case
of infection $500 miles distant is now, that
the facts have been made public, likely to
discredit any future statements he may
make as result Of his investigation into
the condition of the Canadian cattle. The
value that may be attached 10 McE2ch-
rane's reports may be estimated from the
foregoing facts. 1t is known here that the
government received reports fully bearing
out the Standards correspondent, that
many cattle were dying in the Peace river
district from disease that bore strong re-
semblance to pleuro-pneumonia. The
Fredericton Cleaner is rather rough on
Plimsoll, the great English philanthropist,
crank, and general all around humitarian.
The Cleaner says with reference to the
charges of cruelty against the cattle
shippers which Mr.. PlimSoll brought for
ward that they would have had very little
effect on the British public of themselves.
The cattle were badly wanted and their
transit was not always pleasure trip, so
ong as no unnecessary cruelty was
Exercised the public conscience was salts
ed The fact also that the profit Of the
shipper depended so largely on delivering
them in good condition was more con vincing
than the evidence of 1000 witnesses that no
i'll usage would be encouraged. PlimsolI
would have had his day OF notor1ety, and
the matter would have long since dropped
into oblivion, but for the circumstances
that large party in Britain were opposed
to the importation of foreign cattle, and
any pretext to prohibit it was eagerly made
use of.
There were about 5OOloads butchers cattle,
sixty calves and fifty sheep and spring
lambs offered at the east end abbatoir, Mon
treal, yesterday The soft muggy weather
being unfavorable for keeping meat the
butchers were less anxious to secure fresh
supplies than to get rid OF their old stock,
consequently trade was slow with rather
lower prices for the best cattle, and decid-
eddy lower prices for the rough stock. A
few of the very best beeves were sold at
415c per pound, but the best carload on the
market was towards noon, taken back to
the yards by their owner without selling a
single bullock. Pretty good animals sold
from 324c to 414c per pound. Bulls were
more plentiful than for rome time past and
sold at from 251sc to $40 per pound, but it
required pretty good bulls to bring over
315c. Milkmen's strippers were plentiful
and some of them not over fat. They sold
at from &c to 3Slc per pound. Fairly good
veal calves are in good demand at from S.
to S12 each. Mutton critters are slightly
higher in price and sell at about 416c per
pound for mixed lots. Fat hogs sell at from
sc to SIC per pound and dressed hogs at
about 616c

Livestock Notes,

Receipts for the first half of the week al
the Union stockyards, Chicago, show a de.
creas of 5000 cattle, an increase of % ,00C
hogs and a small increase in sheep, COM
pared with the same time last week. The
receipts compared with year ago showed
and increase of 1000 cattle, a decrease OF
$4,000 hogs and 1000 sheep.
Reviewing last weeks cattle market, the
Omaha World-Herald said: The cattle
market is very sensitive at present, but
more sensitive to heavy than light receipts
on account of the prevailing opinion that
the country is full of marketable stock.
Any circumstance tending to verify this
opinion produces an immediate weakening
of values. A feature worthy of remark is
the very small proportion of COWS among
the daily receipts. This fact has kept
butcher stock selling at relatively strong
prices, the supply being hardly equal to the
demand.
Receipts of livestock at Kansas City,
January l to March 16 inclusive, aggregate
2l4,61S cattle, 266S calves, 557, 675 hogs, S.
l02 sheep. Compared with the correspond
ing time in 1891 these figures show an in
creace of 42, 900 cattle, $50 calves, IL, 724

With a cry Of frenzied rage, he sptang

ere the cleaning blade could fall upon
the hapless man, Arthur Dunbar's
strong arms were flung around the
wouldbe assassin. Sleeplcss nights
and scorching days had not robbed the
young American Of his marvellous
strength, and, in less time than IL takes
to write tho words, the Malay was
lying gasping in the sand ut the mercy

golden bangles and asked II, as he
surmiscd, he was chief among his

had apparently arrestedhis attention
my fathers spears are countless as

muttered response he made as he
turned his face away from his ques-
tiorcr.
For o moment Campignon could not

was only limited and the captive spoke

In low tone. II want the prisoner to
realize that you are the chief parsonage
among us, and that he owes his freedom
to your commands"
So, with much gravity, Dunbar gave
his orders for the natives release.
When Campignon cut the mans bonds,
and with the grace Of Frcnchman
handed him the murderous crease, which
two hours before had been within an
nee of costing him his life, emotions of
surprise, JOY and gratitude played on
the Malny's features; but the silent ex-
preston of feeling was only momenta-
ry, for quickly the accustomed look Of
eignified Indifference repossessed his
features, and with deep inclination of
his head TO the two white men, he
turned his back upon them and walked
slowly up the path which led into the
woods.
"Cool as cucumberl" was Dunbar's
commentary. "Well, Campignon, as
the little boys say, we've been and
gone and done it now, and nothing re-
mains to us but to abide by the conse-
quences of what seems TO me very
