A TERRIFIC SCENE

That animal quickly arrives at the
telltale spot. He snuffs at the ground.
meanwhile lashing his sides with his tail

that suggests the height OF rage His
eyes flash wildly, the froth drops from
his jaws and hecks his neck and body.
He paws the ground angrily with his
hoofs, and by dexterous twisting man.
ages to cast great masses of the earth
into the air and upon his back.
The others come racing up and crowd
closely about the spot where their mate
was slain. An inner circle is formed by
the excited animals, with their heads all
pointing to common center, and these
below and paw the ground and race
around and around until exhausted.
Meanwhile the others are circling rapid
ly about the central cluster and finally
displace the earlier arrivals, whereupon
they too go through the same perform
ance.
The scene is q terrific one. Horns are
clashed against horns, the believing Of
the angry animals is deafening, the air
is filled with dust, the beasts seem actu-
ated each by some particular malevo-
lent spirit, and their actions appear
prompted almost by human understand
ing.
Occasionally the scene of bloodshed
will be discovered by some wandering
"critter" who has that portion of the
range to himself temporarily. There
may be no other cattle within two OF
three miles, yet the lone mourner will
commence the procedure already de-
scribed, and within quarter or half an
hour he will have been joined by others,
! while inside of an hour there will be a
dense mass of excited cattle on the spot
and from the range in every direction
others will be seen hurrying to the
scene.
Altogether a cattle funeral is one Of
the oldest and most interesting sights
that can be witnessed-by d man up .

A CATTLE FUNERAL.
HOW THE WILD HERDS OF THE
PRAlRIEs MOURN A DEATH.

A Leader snIffA . Deeaying Carcass from
AfAr and Bolts for the Grave. Followed
by the Believing Herd-creatures II Come
from All Directions.
A cattle funeral may seem an odd
thing TO write about, but il is ten times
more sad TO witness. If the observer
happens 70 be on foot in the vicinity Of
the scene Of the ceremony. however, he
is apt to find it anything but odd, unless
there be tree or some other place Of
refuge convenient, or the curious onlook-
sr be unusually fleet of foot.
But doubtless the average reader does
not know what cattle funeral is like,
and perhaps is not inclined to give credit
to the possible existence of such thing
II he has never lived in a locality where
cattle of more or less untamed disposi.
ton are wont to range, he will certainly
never have had an opportunity to learn
by observation any of the peculiar and
notable facts connected with this re-
markable phenomenon of the range.
A cattle funeral. then, is nothing more
or less than exactly what the words seem
to indicate-a ceremony of morning over
the untimely fate of departed herd
mate. in which every individual member
of the band that is within long range ear
or nose shot is bound to participate In
detail this ceremony consists of sort Of
walk around, accompanied with the
most doleful, ear piercing and heart
rending moans, shrieks and bellowings
and varied by ponderous pawings in the
ground and the most singularly dexter
ous flingings of the resultant dust upon
the backs of the four footed morners.
To observe or participate in cattle
funeral let the CURIOUS minded go out
upon the range, select some spot which
is open and affords no obstruction to the
view, and from which no "critter" is in
sight.
Having selected such spot, let one Of
the "critters" be brought quietly and So
cretly from a distance, and without un.
due ostentation, as becomes poachers
upon another mans range, let him be
done to DEATH Let the offal be secreted
where even the coyotes cannot find it
and let the hide and flesh be carried
carefully away. Then let earth bt
thrown on the blood stains to hide all
traces of disturbance, and ler this all bt
done so well that even the human eye
can detect nothing that would revea
what had been done.

THE LEADER sNIFFs THE WIND.


Then let the. twenty-four hours, or
even less, pass, unless indeed there be
cattle within a mile or less at the time
of the slaughter. But for the purpose
of illustration suppose that twenty-four
hours have elapsed.
Then suppose lot of one or two hun
dred head of cattle come drifting down
over the range to the leeward of the
spot where the slaughter of the day
previous occurred. The leader of the
herd may be two or three miles, perhaps
farther, from the scene of blood. Sud-
denly he commences to show signs of
uneasiness. Though the grass be deep
and luxuriant he only feeds few mo
ments continuously, lifting his head and
tossing his horns as IL an enemy was
near.
Suddenly there is a strong puff Of
wind, and as the nostrils of the leader
inhale the air a transformation occurs
like flash of lightning. He halts,
throws his muzzle into the air and then
emits most unearthly, prolonged,
weird, moaning shrek or below. 1t is
like none of the various noises made
upon other occasions, but has tone
that is all its own and which is evidently
we'll understood by the entire herd.
With another shrek, which can be
heard for mile and even further, the
leader breaks into run, with his tail in
the air and with his head shaking an
grily from side to side, followed by al
the members of the herd, each adding tc
the volume of sound that now fills the
air. AS other animals feeding quietly
at distance hear the peculiar sounds
they, too, prick up their ears, then witt
answering shrieks they gallop wildly
toward the excited band and JOIN it il
pursuit of the leader

SENATOR BROWN DEAD.

An Abbett-Blodgett Contest Probable
For the Representation of Monmouth.
Senator Thomas s. r. Brown of Key
port, Monmouth county, died this morn
ing. The Senator has been ill for some
time past, and steadily succumbed to the
attacks of the disease. He passed away
quietly, and was conscious to the last mo-
ment.
Senator Brown was born in Middlesex
county, September 8, 1923. He was first
engaged in the lumber. coal and hardware
business. He was a member of the Board
of treeholders of Monmouth county for
four years. and member Of the House
Of Assembly in 1867 and 1868. Since
1871 he has been a member of the
keyport, Board of Education. He was
mber of the Township Committee, and
was Its treasurer at the time of his death.
He was treasurer of the Second keyport
twenty-oue years. In 1887 he was de.
feated by Henry NJ. Nevins for Senator in
Monmouth county, owing to dissensions
i'll the Democratic party.
In 1896 he was nominated and elected
by q plurality of 1919 over the Republi-
can candidate, Hal Allaire. Last year he
served rs chairman of the Committees on
Railroads and Canals. Riparian Rights,
and passed bills.
An interesting feature now connected
with the politics in Monmouth county
will be the fight between Governor
Albeit and Rufus Blodgett for suprem.
acy. Senator Brown was a strong adher-
ent of Brodgett's, and his death makes
an election in that county a necessity.
The county is strongly Democratic.

TWO MESDAMES ARNAUIT.

In Orphans Court yesterday proceed
ings were instituted to contest the will of
Pierre Arnault, who conducted wine
establishment and lived at No. 10 Ogden
avenue. Jersey City Heights. From what
can be learned, there will be some racy
testimony.
Arnault. Frenchman, was well known
in the old Fourth district. On December
20. 1891 he died at his home of heart dis
ease. In due course his will was filed at
the Surrogate's office. The opening
clause of 1t states that Arnaul5 re-
vokes all wills previously made and be-
queaths the good will and benefit of his
business to Elise Strasheim Arnault, and
also bequeaths 5000 to daughter Adele.
The will is dated in New York on March
30, 1886. aud the witnesses are j. Hayes
aud Theodore Connolly, of New YORK.
Cavlats have since been filed by Helene
Aruault. who claims TO be the deceased's 8
legal wife, by her daughter and by wife
of her deceased son. Counsellor j. B.
NorthrOp appeared In behalf of Helene
Arnault and BAbbitt & Lawrence for the
daughter and wife of the deceased son.
Counsel propose to prove that Elise and
Adele are an adventures and her illegiti-
mate offspring. The case was postponed
for two weeks.

OUR NEW REGIMENT.
Preliminary Caucus Of the officers-Wan-
ser viii Command

Preliminary Caucus Of the Oficers-Wnn-
ser Will Command.
A joint meeting of the members of the
Second and Fourth Regiments was held
last night in the Fourth Regi-
ment Armory. Colonel Stevens
was present and presided. The
action of the Major General was con-
demned, and some exceedingly perso onal
remarks were INDUCED in.
The principle subject of discussion,
however, was the election for Colonel.
The outlook is that Colonel Wan
ser will be the only candidate
in the field, Colonel Stevens Withdrawing
in his favor. The sense of the meeting
was that Colonel Wanser should be
CHOSEN.
A Committee on Candidates COM
posed of Captains Smith, Bren-
singer, Rabold and Jailes, was
appointed to make a report at the
next meeting of the regiments. which will
be held in HoboSen next Friday evening
NJ. Abernethy is slated, it is understood,
for Lieutenant Colonel. Edward Mason for
Major. There still remain two Majors
and three adjutants to be elected. These
offices will probably be filled by Ho-
bokenites. The general belief is that
Colonel Wanser will have II waikover
for the place of Brigadier General.
Mr.. Campbell is supposed to be out of the
race. If Colonel Wanser is elected Briga-
dier General, Colonel Stevens will prob
ably he made Commander of the Second
and Fourth Regiments.

VERY QUEER CASE.
Many People Think "Clara Stew
arts" Story a Fake-Po-
lice Surprised.

The Clara Stewart assault case is grow
ing more mysterious daily. 1t is the
chief topic OF conversation in the
Greenville section. The rumor that
the assaulted girl is a relative OF the Rev.
MCGOWAN has not vet been denied by that
gentleman, but the Fifth precinct police
profess to know nothing whatever about
the supposed relationship.
Mr.. MCGOWAN still insists that the girls
name is not Clara Stewart and Detectives
McNally and Egan and RoundsmRn Nc
Intyre, who were detailed to work
uD the case, have her right name.
Roundsman Mcintyre, on the other hand,
said he was never more surprised IN his
life than last evening when he read in
The JERSEY CITY NEWS that the girl was
registered under an assumed name.
mir. McCowau," said he, told us that
the girls name was Clara Stewart We
have no other name; ut least, | have
not. If Detectives Egan or McNally
had received any other name we
would certainly have puJ it on record
here. We have no such word here, and
Mr., McCowRn's statement, as published
In The NEWS, is certainly big surprise
to me-"
M'ENTYRE SILENT.
Roundsman Mcintyre refused to say
anything further about the case.
1t is said. however, that the police
have not as yet any clue to the
scoundrels VINO assaulted the
girl. The chief of the Bsyonne police has
been notified and several detectives from
that city have been put on the case. Like
the Greenville police they refuse to say
whether or not they have any clue.
a great many residents in the Green
Vile section are inclined to doubt the
girls story.
VERY ODD INDEED.
II for oue," said a prominent citizen
this morning, 'believe that the girl's
story IS fake. She is unable
to give any description whatever
OF the men. She said she was too excited
to notice how they looked, in fact, she
says she cannot tell whether they were
short or tall, young or old. This in
itself looks very peculiar / think
that she could at least tell whether they
were short or tall. and then again the po-
lice tell me that her clothes, which they
are holding as evidence, are not
torn. The girl Mt first claimed
that she struggled, and it was reported
that her clothes were badly torn. An
examination of her wearing apparel fails
to disclose any indication Whatever of a
struggle.
Other citizens who were interviewed,
gave practically q repetition of the above
story.
Police Captain John Smith will not
give any facts Whatever to reporters. lie
refuses to say whether or not he will con-
tinue to work up the case.

GROWING CONSERVATIVE.

Mayor Wanser this morning for the
third time received the resolution book OF
the Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners. Many of the resolutions which
His Honor anticipated not signing meet
with his approval this morning.
Besides signing resolutions His Honor
discovered the fact that several had be-
come effective without his signature. A
resolution ordering $1,000 paid to Mr..
Curley in part payment for the
improvement of St. Paul's avenue
becomes elective without the
Mayors signature. A warrant
for similar amount to Charles O'Neill
for the Improvement of Jackson avenue,
also becomes effective without the May
or's signature. Claims for gas and cleo
trio lights amounting to about 81. 900 were
signed by the Mayor.
a resolution ordering paid to Henry
Byrne on account of sweeping and clean
ing the streets becomes effective without
the Mayors approval. A batch of claims
exceeding $400 are still unsigned. The
resolutions ordering paid the monthly
salaries of Street Superintendent Tum-
ulty, James Pallister and Lamp Inspector
Couk were signed.
There are still several hung up payrolls
in the hands of the Mayor. Considerable
doubt is felt us TO whether he will sign
them or not.

Wire Cloth Works did the same. This
company removes its solids but the
liquids that comes from it are atrocions.
AT Second River, a small stream that
nows through portion of the Oranges,
the water was nearly as black as a hat.
1t is here the New Orange system of sew
ers which will drain many square miles Of
territory will find an outlet. This river
now drains hat and other factories and
private houses. 1t is vile beyond descrip-
tfon. The Orange system of sewers has
two plans. One is to convert Second River
into a closed sewer and the other is to
parallel the natural water course through
Belleville. 1t is not known which
place will be adopted. Either Will
not decrease the injury to the water of
the Passac or the danger to the people
who will be compelled to drink this sew
age. Hougland's hat shop drains into
the river and so did scores of private
houses on Second River. Inspector Leake,
of this city, has succeeded in preventing
a continuation of this private drainage
from cesspools, but it requires constant
vigilance on his part to keep this refuse
from the river. Hardman's Rubber
Works also drains into the Passaic, and
in this vicinity are large number of
surface drains.
A CHAT WITH MIR. LEAKE.
When l saw Inspector Leake l asked
him why he did not go before the Grand
Jury and complain of these nuisances.
He replied:-"Since l have been In-
spector of the Passaic l have been
before the Essex and Hudson county
Grand Juries with about one hundred
aud fifty complaints. From thirty TO
forty indictments have been found in Es-
sex county, but it is useless to take a case
before Hudson county Grand Jury"
why" inquired in surprise.
because the Jersey City intake is To-
Gated in Bergen county"
"You don't mean it,"
"Yes, I do; the line dividing Hudson
and Bergen counties runs through Belle
vile, just below where the intake is
located. But a short time ago the Ber-
gen county authorities made an effort to
tax Hudson county for its proper
ty there and if the movement
was persisted in believe it
would succeed. 1t is because of this
fact that one of the obstacles arises in OBJ
tanning indictments. Another reason told
me by Prosecutor Winfield was the diff
Guilty in proving case. He said that il
ary person saw refuse deposited in the
the river, and followed that refuse until
it reached Hudson county. and could
positively identify it, and prove that nc
one else had touched or removed it from
the water during it's passage to Hudson
county then an Indictment and convic.
tion could follow. This you can readily
understand is almost an impossibility."
