pened to be near, seeing the peril Of
the child, determined to rescue 1t IL
possible. Seizing his Winchester, he
mounted his horse and started in pur-
suit. For miles across streams,
through woods, and over hills he
went at reckless speed, keeping his
eye on the eagle and trusting to his
sure-footed animal to carry him in
safety. Finally the bird alighted on
a limb about five feet from the
ground, still holding to the child.
Mr.. Locke knew that delay meant
death, and, though fully 500 yards
away, he took deliberate aim and
fired, the ball passing through 10th
wings. The great bird fluttered
slowly to the ground with the child
still In its grasp A dog that had
followed charged on the eagle, but
one swipe OF its claws satisfied it,
and 1t SUNK away. Mr.. Locke came
up and finished his work. The child

The Cunard steamer Lucania
arrived off Sandy Hook, September
2s., having made the trip over a
course of 2,7S2 miles in FIVE days,
seven hours and forty eight min
utes, breaking all records. The
previous fastest trip, ending Sep
tember IA, was made by the same
vessel between Sandy Hook and
Daunt's Rock, the time being Eve
days, eight hours and thirty-eight
minutes. By singular coincidence
this eastward trip was made in
exactly the same time as the pre-
ceding (westward) trip which
ended August 81. The eastward
voyage was, however, the longest
as regards distance. The perform
ance of the Lucania in making two
successive trips Of nearly three
thousand miles with the precision
Of a ferry-boat is one Of the most
remarkable feats Of ocean nnyiga-
tion. The Lucania also holds the
record for the greatest days run,
500 miles, and for the best hourly

A meeting Of the Southeastern
New Mexico Stock Growers Asso-
citation was held at Lincoln, N. NJ,
on the 9th inst.
Several matters Of importance
were discussed, affecting the cattle
interests Of the Territory. 1t Was
unanimously decided that the for
nation of a Ranger company was
most essential, and the secretary
was directed to confer with Col. A.
j. Fountain, the attorney for the
association, on the subject, and to
request that he prepare the draft
of a bill having this object in view
to be introduced into the next
Legislature.
The matter of registration Of
brands and marks was also con-
sidered at length, aud several i'm
portant alterations were recon-
mended to the present laws gov
erning the same.
1t was suggested that brands,
instead Of being the property Of
persons onlysin counties wherein
the same were recorded should
become the exclusive property Of
the person giving the same,
throughout the entire Territory,
and for this purpose application
should be made to a duly qualified
and legally constituted board con-
tanning at least one expert having
knowledge of brands, and the same
should be passed upon and allow
cd, or not, by the board, where
upon, if the former, II should then
be forwarded to the secretary Of
the Territory for record. 1t was also
strongly urged that it should only
be legal for a person to keep
one brand, unless with the consent
and approval of the said board,
and the person desiring to keep
up more than one, would have TO
show the board good and sufficient
reasons why no should do so, and
it would be discretionary with
them TO allow or not
1t was shown that if such a
measure should become a law
great check would be put on brand
burning, running maverick brands,
etc.
In order 20 give due time to
have these matters thoroughly
considered, it was decided TO call
a special meeting Of the associa-
ton, to meet at Lincoln, n. H.. on
Saturday, December /, when the,
proposed bills to be presented to-
the Legislature viii be laid before
the meeting.
The matter Of following and
prosecuting the gang Of thieves
depredating on the cattlemen of
the southeast was brought up, and
the meeting was assured that
everything was being done to run
