tice Henry NJ. Goldfogle, in the Fifth
District Court.
There were two contentious IN re-
gard to the goat. Santry claimed tha'
the whiskerless ruminant was born IL
March. 1894. and was kidnapped Two
weeks ago by Tassi. The latter con
tended that he had owned the goat fol
four years. and she was kidnapped
three years ago by Santry. Tassi
claimed the goat was crippled in the
first year OF her life by trying to eaI
the hind foot Of a live mule. 1t was
admitted by both sides that the goat
had had offspring. Miss Nancy was
in court. accompanied by friend goat
alleged TO be her mother. AT the So
licitation of the stenographer both
were excused from testifying.
Santry was the first witness lie
said that Nancy was given to him Is
months ago by Mrs. Julia Drlscoll'
Tassi. being examined under oath,
swore tnat the Santrys and the DIS
coils had abducted Nancy and con-
verted her from a blonde to a bru-
uette by the aid of tar.
Justice Goldfogle decided that the
crucial point for determination was
the age Of Miss Nancy. Joseph Coke
". an expert on Colears Hook goats,
was called to the stand.
DO you know this gOat?' asked
Sanry's lawyer.
yes, sir" said Cokely; Il knew this
goat. it's mother, its grandmother, ana
its great-grandmother
Have you read many books about
goats?"
! read about goats when I was at
school"
DO you know the Encyclopedia
Britannica"
mo. sir" said Mr.. Cokely, blandly.
Il know very few Dagos.'
LAWYER Donagan explained to Mr..
Cokely that the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA was a book wherein it was sald
on the authority Of renowned ornithol-
ogists and goatologists, that no goat
had offspring until at least 10 months
of age.
ING to the goat for an endorsement OF
his statement.
Mrs. Julia DriscOll testified that Mr..
Tassi was not telling the truth il he
said Miss Nancy was five years Old.
The goat cried pa" approyingly.
when you owned the goat did it
have whiskers?" asked Lawyer Dona-
gan.
"Whiskersw exclaimed Mrs. Dris-
coll. casting q whitening glance on the
lawyer. "a female goat with whls-
kers"
The goat and the Sanrys and the
Tassis adjourned to an ante-room in
order that the goat might be identl-
fed. Sanuy came back declaring that
the goat had four beautiful legs, with
not a sign Of a limp.
Take that goat out in the street, "
said the Justice. Exercise it. Make
it walk up and down All but the
Justice followed. Santry kicked the
goat. whereat she walked up the street
without limping.
Look at that said Mrs. Driscoll,
in triumph. Did you ever see a more
elegant Wake
Justice Goldfogle decided the goat
belonged to Santry.

Stories Of the Tr~-.essessnan and the Teu<
o.r<o-S Soldier from the f-Ast.
The wes.trn fron:.erssEAn of.ea
seems to ho.d in s.:-ht esteem ia
soldiers who are sect for the projection
of the borcer. HAv.uv learned indian
methods by many hard knocks, he
doubtless fails to exercise proper
charity toward those whose experiences
have been less extended. His ordinary
state of mind may be illustrated by
some extracts from IAN Historical
Rocky Mountain Outpost An indians
fighter, speaking of newly arrived
soldiers, said: "They be the greenest
set, and the sight of an Iniun Jest
about scares 'em to death, never saw
any of 'eln / was afraid of, If had any
sort of a show.
"Why, back in 80 | undertook to
take young man back to the states,
and we started in a buggy; buggy, do
you mind! When he got down the
Arkansas piece we heard the red
skins was pretty thick, but we went
right on, only keeping more of q looke
out, you know.
''But along in the afternoon we saw
fifteen or twenty coming for us, and
we got ready to give 'em reception,
We had hard chase, but at last they
got pretty sick of the way handled
my rife, and concluded to let us alone
for awhile. They kept watch of US.
though, and meant to get square with
US that night.
"Well, we travelled till dark, stopped
just long enough to build big fire,
and then lit out. When those Injuns
came for US that night we were in
some other place, and they lost their
grip on that little scalping bee.
They didn't trouble us any more,
that's sure. And when we got to the
next post there were nigh hundred
teams, six stages and two companies
of soldiers, all shivering for fear of the
Injuns. 1t rather took the wind out OF
em to see u come in with that buggy;
and they didn't want to believe we had
come through. But we were there, and
they couldn't get out of it."
That there are some things about
frontier life which are more enjoyable
than others the frontiersman is free to
admit. Among the few matters he
would have otherwise, he gives the
first place to the tough range" or
'snow-fed" beef upon which he must
needs subsist.
81 heard story once" said he,
'about young man, tenderfoot, who
after long wondering what made the
beef so fearfully tough, at length ar
rived at the solution, as he thought,
and that quite by accident. He was
riding ont with friend, an old resi-
dent, when they chanced to come upon
bunch of cattle.
''The young man seemed to be study
ing over something, and finally he
pointed toan animal which bore the
brand 'B. G. As
"'Loolz at thatl' he exclaimed. How
can you expect those antediluvians to-
be anything but tough? Why don't
you kill your cattle before they get to
