At Guthrie yesterday Judge Frank Dale
delivered his first sentence of death. It
was in the case of the Territory OF Okla
homa against John Dassett, and the sen
tence viii be executed at noon on the sth
day of January next
The crime for which Dassett must pay
the death penalty WAS the killing OF Sher-
man Long in the Usage country on Janu-
AIRY 8, 1893. Long aud Dassett were rivals
for Miss Clemiutina Denoye, a young Iu
dian girl. The rivalry WAS Intense. and
il seems that the girl was fond of both the
men. According TO the evidence the two
men met At dance on the night named.
Dassett and Long met, aud 1t is alleged
that Dasseit poured poison into some
whisky which was drunk by Long. He
lived but twenty minutes after swal owing

WILD HERDS IN AMERICA.

Descendants OF Tame Animals Roaming
the state of Washington.
In several parts Of Washington and
British Columbia are herds Of wild ami
mails descended from domestic ances-
tors. For instance, in the western
edge Of Washington, next the coast,
is the remnant Of a herd Of cattle
which for years has roamed through
the woods and over the prairies there.
Long ago a military post was main
tanned on Gray's Harbor, and adjacent
was large amount of cleared land,
cultivated by the soldiers as n farm.
The troop owned good many
cattle, which pastured on n
part of the garrison ranch. For
some reason or other the post was sud
denly abandoned and the soldiers found
II impossible TO take their cattle with
them. So the animals were left there
and, since there were no settlers in the
vicinity to look after them the hcrd
grew wild. In spite of the fact that
the heavy forest afforded but a small
amount of pasturage, and notwith-
standing the depreciation of black
wolves, which then infested the woods
along the coast. the cattle increased in
numbers very rapidly and were con-
slant annoyance TO early settlers
Fences were broken down, crops
were destroyed and tame cattle
coaxed off TO the woods. Many
OF the animals were killed by parties
organized 10 exterminate them, and the
remainder of the herd has been driven
into the skirts Of the Olympics andinto
the coast range south and east of Gray S
Harbor. But every now and then the
hunter for elk, which abound in these
mountains, comes upon bunch of wild
cattle almost as feet as the deer.
In Snohomish county, forty miles
north of Seattle, are lot of wild hogs,
the number being estimated at five hun
dred Some years ago about forty pigs
got away from farmer, James Duval,
and they have since multiplied like
rabbits. They are rapidly developing
all the tr Its of the hogs which have
never Teen domesticated, for they
are becoming gaunt long-haired, long
tusked and savage, and they rur
swiftly through the underbrush, forcing
their way wherever they choose 10 60
Hunting them rs hogs are still hunt
ed in northern Europe in the preserves
of the nobility, is getting to be IA
vorite sport of the young Snohomisf
farmers. In an area about tifteer
miles square below Trout creek, ii
British Columbia, is a band of at leas'
seven hundred wild horses. They are
not only eating off the stock ranges
but are becoming a more direct source
of loss TO stock owners, for they enticC
away good horses, especially the colts
The government has several times beer
petitioned either TO exterminate tn,
band, or give the settlers permission &c
do it, but thus far no action has beer
taken--St Louis Post Dispatch.

fed they are put in a row upon the
thick beams TO protect them from the

new wins they have TO be constantly
watched by the cellarman, who gauges
regularly the evaporation and replaces
ethe exact quantity evaporatcd. This re-
filing Is very frequent at first, but
after a few months once fortnight
sufices. The bungs also have to be
carefully watched and the linen round
them constantly changed, since any
I acid which the cloth absorbs may be
impaired to the wine.

may not come into contact with the air.
The process is repeated ia June and
again in October and each drawing off
